Hi Cindy,

My ER Allopath was honest and spot on accurate. So,
you are correct. My GP, lets just say I'd like my
money back.


My mother's on Metformin and loads up her shopping cart
with ice cream and other treats. She knows she shouldn't,
but has decided that at her age she's going to eat what
she pleases.

She is committing suicide. High Glycemic carbs are
extremely addictive, as you have noticed with your
mother.

Be careful of Metformin. It is nasty stuff. I can't
wait to sign up for the inevitable class action
suit over it.


Cindy Hamilton


You need to dive into Glycemic Load. This is the best web
site I have found for such:

http://nutritiondata.self.com

It lists carbs and load (and lots of other stuff).

You just add up your load for the day. I try to keep mine
to under 10. You would probably be okay with 20. Keep
in mind that not all carbs are processed the same by
your body.

Also be careful of any vigorous exercise that tricks
your liver into thinking you are running for your
life. Your liver will pump our massive amount of glycogen
which will spike your blood sugar. (Your liver makes
all the blood sugar you need from fat and protein.)

Your in mental illness,

Not if you know history. Are you familiar with the Red Terror in the
Hungarian Soviet Republic? Or Marx, for that matter. Not having a
Messiah at hand, Jews tend to try to create heaven on earth, no matter
how many have to die.

As you correctly point out, Jews suffered terribly under
communists too. That is why I find it so odd. I also
know of an Orthodox Christian communist and after
what Orthodox Christians suffered under the Soviet
Terror, I find that just as odd.

Were you the one that pointed out to me that there were
Jews fighting FOR the Nazis? Way, way odd.

Did you know there is a Jewish saint in Brazil:

Other than St. Paul, St. John, and St. Mark? iirc Luke was a gentile.
Many of the saints have interesting histories. Christianity is like a
magpie, picking up shiny trinkets as it goes along. Russell's 'The
Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity' is a good description of
what happened when a near-Eastern religion met a heathen culture. There
was considerable give and take. I don't think Christianity ever quite
mellowed out a warrior culture.

I was talking about a recent saints. Jesus himself was Jewish.

Indeed I do.

Are you high?

We get this from what Jesus taught us and from our
collective shared experience.

If you are asking for proof that can be read on
an instrument, I can not give that to you any
more than you can prove you love (agape) your
wife.

Do the voices in your head tell you love your wife?
You can measure eros love (sexual attraction) on a
meter, but you can not measure selfless love (agape)
on a meter.

So I can not prove to you with science that God
exists or does not exist. Science and religoun
don't mix. Science is the study of nature (or
the creation, if you are a believer). Nothing
more and nothing less.

I can only tell you what I think and have experienced.

Epiphone DR-212. Mine is from Indonesia but i think the newer ones are

either. Comes right down to it I've got a J-45 I bought in '63 or so but
my go to 6 string is a Yamaha.

I mess around with whistles and an Irish flute but no way would I do
bagpipes. Maybe Uilleann pipes are a little more civilized but I
understand they are a pain in the ass to keep tuned. At least they have
more than nine notes. We have a local bagpipe band that shows up at odd
times. A little goes a long ways.

I bought a Sax when our kids were toddlers. I found it virtually
impossible to practise without upsetting the neighbours in the (then)
small top floor flat we lived in, so I gave that idea up. I also didn't
really have the time because I was working full time during the day and
playing bands in the evenings and weekends.
Shame, because I love the sound.

I really should play my recorder more often, but usually only get
inspired around Christmas. It has a nice tone to it for those holiday
songs. I do play my bigger harmonica more often, tho.

I played Boehm flute and recorder, but I've never before looked at
the Irish flute. It's interesting.

The fingering is straight forward on the simple system flutes. Going
from one to the other isn't bad except the Irish flutes and most
whistles are in D and the F# on a Boehm breaks the pattern.

The fingerings are the same on whistles so a $10 whistle makes a cheap
practice instrument even if it is an octave higher.

The development of the Boehm system is interesting. There must have been
a lot of fiddling around to get the intonation right.

It's a diatonic instrument and you think more in terms of modes.

That's Mixolydian, which isn't the most common, but it has an exotic
feel. Of course you can play it on a Boehm. The problem with those is on
fast jigs and reels they can sound like a typewriter.

playing bands in the evenings and weekends.
Shame, because I love the sound.

I had a brief fling with a clarinet when I was a kid. I tended to chew
the reed though.

Still have my recorder and couple harmonicas.


I've got a recorder but it's gathering dust. The
fingering is different from the Irish flute and the
Boehm flute and my fingers can only learn do many
tricks. I do have Marine Bands in a few keys. They're
handy in bear country. Beat the hell out of those
stupid bear bells.

I really should play my recorder more often, but usually only get
inspired around Christmas. It has a nice tone to it for those holiday
songs. I do play my bigger harmonica more often, tho.


All baroquey? Recorders tend to put you in that frame of mind where
Irish flutes just want to play Irish rebel songs.

Yeah! I like the slower tunes, too, because it sounds really mellow
on the gopher wood recorder.

I like folk songs on my big harmonica, tho, and a few other fans that
sound good on it.

Sometimes, I miss my guitars and keyboards, but some day is like to
get another piano. Keyboards just aren't a good replacement.

I've had a series of pianos over the years including one Yamaha
Clavinova. My current favorite is a 1928 Mason and Hamlin that I had
completely rebuilt inside and out, and which I will never replace. It
has a wonderfully mellow sound, but also a very crisp upper register.
I was lucky that it had been in the same house since its purchase in
1928 and the ivory keyboard was in perfect condition.


ooooooo! That's one instrument I haven't had the pleasure of playing!

I grew up as an only child. My mother taught piano from elementary
students to those graduating highschool and entering college, often
with the intent of majoring in music. We had a Mason and Hamlin

I learned piano when I was a teen, and did major in music. Piano was my
principle instrument, and guitar ended up as my secondary. My old
acoustic guitar that I'd had since I was 9 years old was the one I used
in the college guitar ensemble. (We played classical music in the
ensemble.) My guitar was smaller than regular guitars, but had a nice
tone to it. I have small hands and short fingers so a smaller guitar was
better for me. Those bar chords were always something my fingers
weren't long enough to actually play! When I sampled a 12-string, I
could do the bar chords even though the neck of the guitar was wider
than my acoustic. It was probably easier for me because the strings were
closer to the frets and it didn't take as much force to form the bar chord.

concert grand that I was taught on. After my parents passed I had no
room for a piano that large and ended up selling it to a friend who
still owns it. My M&H is smaller, but still wonderful.


In college there was a nice grand piano that I got to play. It was fun!

The piano I originally owned when I was learning to play was an old
upright, but eventually, I traded that one in for a spinet. I can't
remember the brand of it, though! It's been some years.

The main thing about pianos is that they need to be decent quality,
well-tuned, and to the best of your ability, easy to play. They do
not necessarily need to be large or expensive.

In today's world, the vast majority of pianos are made in Asia
regardless of what the brand label says. Only a few are made in
Europe or the UK anda they are usually quite expensive.


I didn't know that.

So he's a vengeful God, quite childish (checkout the old testament;

hill) and a bit of a pervert to boot. I dunno about this god dude...
