Opah

well I get another round of shots Tuesday, it has been a month and a 1/2 since the last injections. they will be looking for any sign of swelling in side my eyes and if none we will go 2 months till the next shot. we will keep extending the time between shots until we start to see some kind of swelling or it is felt they are not needed any more. This Libre sensor is coming super handy being able to monitor my glucose in real time, any time I want has given me a huge advantage when it cones to eating and what to eat.

Meet Nic Nic was born somewhere around 5000BC in the Americas, he was very spiritual and participated mostly in shamanistic rituals. Somewhere around the 16th century With the arrival of the Europeans , Nic got bored with the rituals and set his sights higher and farther than anyone would dream, with these new arrivals Nic quickly planned to increase the consumption, cultivation, and trading of his tobacco. Even in his infancy Nic knew how to attach himself to and use people to expand his realm of control, soon with the modernization of farming he was spreading him self far and wide and the people loved him. It wasn’t till the 1960s that medical science caught up with Nic and the con he had played on an entire world, addicted, most were hard pressed to believe what science was telling them, there hearts and lungs were being destroyed by Nic and his countless dominion of chemicals he never mentioned. Nic continued to rule Body and mind of millions around the world consuming them with a legion of diseases under his command. We have seen Furors, dictator and rulers come and go but none with the body count that Nic has and the Sad part is he still has it going. Yes Nic has killed and wreaked Havoc on plant earth for 7021 years. Why isn’t he in the history books, why haven’t children been educated about him you ask ? Well sadly I am or at least was one of his dominion, for 40 plus years. Thankfully people learned, got educated and YES are teaching or children the facts about Nic O Tine. We need to spread the truth about what a cold blooded killer he is, lets be a positive part of breaking his hold on the human race.

Here I go, just got installed a Macho Libre glucose sensor, started out after a night of sweets with the sweet and my sour dough toast bread in the morning. Woke up to a 324 fasting glucose, Yes I know Not Good, but here is the advantage to being able to test any time, any where and as many times as you want. So it took a day to get down into the 200s, so on the second day I went back to my diet that got my A1C down from 11.8 to 6.7 Great diet if you name is snowball have a twichy nose and just hope about all day, but for a Man ? On the bunny diet I run 178 to 140 all day with only just after eating peeking just above 160, Great! I find out Menudo is great for my sugar ! Grape fruit is a short rise and back under 160 . I love being able to test foods and combinations of foods. Like this morning I know Sour dough is a real no no, but i thought sour dough toast a couple eggs and ham Might work Better, NOPE sour dough will have to go away, (so sad) the cool thing is Real time testing of foods ! I can kick the Rabbit crap to the curb and eat foods I like and they like me. Long story short, 3 days in my sugar has been pretty constant 160 and below, (my goal), I have lost a couple of pounds without thinking about losing a couple pounds. This Libre Glucose sensor is going to change my life ! I would say next to quitting smoking this is the best thing I have done for my self and my health. and it is covered by my insurance

Ok well things are getting back to how they should be, came into work, parked and got out of the truck and here it was the smell of the cigarettes from the smoking area. this time it wasn't a great smell, it was just cigarettes. Lets see how long it takes to get to be nasty smelling, anyone here been quit for 5 years or more and the cigarettes still smell good ? Inquiring minds would like to know

Darcy: It is hard to break free of the chains of our ADDDDD ADICCCCCtion addiction (I really hate that word) but until we do it gets very difficult to stay on the train.

Thank you m mm mm m mmmy ca ca ccapu ter stuttered

Sounds like I could be a Brother from another mother, I would rather Buy the tools than pay. the wife was just explaining to me that it is time to hire people, but as you said I cant stand strangers in my home.

Kris you have described a whole lot of us in chilling detail, seems it was only a couple of days ago I was tending to business, had strength and stamina. Then one morning as if a thief in the night came in an stole lively hood and self-esteem. Then our pride holds us back from asking for the assistance we now require and our quality of living starts to decay. I remember my grand parents properties things got bad, restrooms that did not work any more, the yards looking badly and me thinking Grandpa all you needed to do was ask? I went and helped with out having to be asked, returned the unconditional love that I received growing up. So before those restroom become totally non functional or the yard gets in disarray reach out to your loved ones, allow them to return the love and care that you provided them.

Well it starts here, got my Macho Libre glucose sensors, finally prescribed. I knew, it was going to be high, chocolate peanuts, great dinners and Breakfasts, but I have it trending down. Once I get it stable and running 160 Plus / Minus I can now see what does what to me in real time, Toast in the Morning, a Beer before Bed, apples, oranges and grapes all good foe you buy not for my A1C maybe? I can get me a diet set up that will work with My A1C and my weight, Both need my serious attention. I have a shit load of work to do at home and I need to get to it, I have noticed that I can not do it all. I will need to start paying for the heavy shit and get help for the awkward stuff. I came close to falling at work today and there were moments my chest was pounding. I am just pushing myself to hard. This Tuesday Darrell and I are heading out to the Refuge, going to shoot the shit out of something and sight my hog gun for my hog hunt the 21st thru the 31st, that is going to be nice. Its weird Nic is fighting back with a sugar crave or maybe it is just I got some bad Bacteria in the pipes and I need to pay attention to my Probiotics, Meds can screw them up and let the Bac bacteria run all over the good. The laugh is that I was taking Probiotics but then you let something go and then I start something else and let something else go. Is it possible to take care of everything at this age, the Body seems o have stopped helping and now its pills and more pills. Well Right now most of what I am taking is for my sugar so once I got that handled I can move on.

Well Bye

OPAH over a year now and you still letting Nic challenge you. Remember Physical addiction is gone all the Nic receptors are gone! So it is all in your Mind now, Be the mental magnificent you are and tell Nic to hit the road, beat feet, Don't let the door hit him on the ass on his way out. You have the control, you are in charge. Get up and get busy, If you do not have your hard candies, go get a ding dong and a pop. By the way we really need to avoid the real sugars Bud, but for the now it is OK. Lets do what you need to do, I am here for you, we shatter the silence with our words and our thoughts, Nic has nothing on us, we are in command, send Nic walking off of the POOP deck and give him a big long flush. We are free of Nic now act like it.

I got wound up so freaking bad, breath eat some sweets and calm down, then some thing would ramp me back up. all night it was that way Up and down every thing so quite nothing was stirring. I would run off to my hunting forum and there again no one was home. I went to the SOS and stared reading every ones self responses, Now let me tell you those really helped. You can tell your self off and not get offended, I think that is one of the bestest, unique, Post here on the Train.

Yes Here I am, It was at the end of a long Blankety shift Tons better today with the craves, still getting pressed here at work I get the sig of a good Manager it to take care of all the crap without stressing or stress your staff. everyone here is stressed what that tell you. and yes it was a good long walk.

Yaaaaa Back to being me again !!!!! Hellooooooo Hellooooooo Hellooooooooo Anyone out thererrrrrrrrrrrrre Helloooooooo No No no ! YES YES NO NO NO Damn it, it isn't going to Happen Thats it NIC NOOOOOOOOOO I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT ANOTHERRRRRR PUFFFFFFFFFF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Enhance your calm OPAH, Deep Breaths Ok lets take a walk

You know as I get older, the holidays mean less and less example: 4th of July, do you feel the way you felt at 13 seems as you grew the awe and glory died, the magic faded and the family grew further apart. especially now with the yahaas trying to keep every body apart, Am I he only one felling disconnected from Family, friends, society ? I mean is this what it was 4 years ago ? Ya Ya Covid this and Covid that Teach our youth to be segregationist, that one must protect them self's even from Family and friends, to hide behind senseless, useless masks. Remember only a couple weeks then Months and now Years, Makes it so hard and lonely for some to keep a quit. makes it so easy for that nico demond to slip in and say this is what you are quitting for look around, is this what you want to spend the rest of your life doing ? Why even bother ? What are we going to be in 2 / 3 more years, are we going to owe our souls to the company store? Think we would have learned, Fool us once shame on you Fool us twice shame on us. You know I will be better after this? well maybe not, I want what we had just 3 sort years ago, when you could have a smoke in a bar, when you could pray together in Church, when holiday block party's were common, when you could have huge family get together's and you could hug your grand children and kiss them on the cheeks, Maybe I am just feeling nostalgic. I do want to smoke, just say Fuk to all of this and not give a damn. But then I say fool me once OK but your not going to fool me again, I am free of you and you are not getting me back. not with swinging my mode during holiday times, not by attempting to make me feel all of this us for nothing. Yes you put on a pretty good façade and your slight of hand was skill full and yes you had me shaking to my foundation. But that is where it ends, My foundation is strong, the backs of many poured it, smoothed it and helped it harden. Mighty is my foundation and all upon it secure, so let me make this Clear NIC you will never have me so slink away become the memory you are doomed to be, held in the deep dark recess of my mind.

After all the crap going on at work and family I decide to take some OPAH time off, so the 21 thru the 31 I will be Hunting, but why am I feeling like a dust speck? You know I am Good with it, I really do need a

Well its Monday again, hopefully It will be a sooth week ahead, Just four days to my weekend. My Turkey day was small quite Family, my son and his family went to his wife's mothers house, so that is why the quite was inserted above. I did have some craving Thursday Thanks giving, My self and my son in laws mother were the only ones that smoked so we would end up out on one of the patios with ours drinks and our smokes.

Plans are set Dec 21 to the 31 I will be hunting Hogs and get to break in the BAR

Well finally My Friday, it really should be my Saturday, but the extra day I have to work makes my Saturday my Friday even though it is really Tuesday. Monday is My Fri, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday are my Saturday and Sunday plus one. The Plus one is really cool get an extra day and lose a working day that way I have 3 days to play, and it still adds up to 7 very cool. Well any way I will be off tomorrow and it is a good thing, not sure what I am going to do, but I do know what I am not going to do, I am not going to smoke. Well I may smoke a Ham or a Turkey My new favorite

So here I am setting pretty victorious at my desk, My Manager can force me to answer my phone any time I am off of work. He was not happy about that, and now he has to write a retraction on a Email letter of warning he wrote to me. My crew and I raised enough unrest that we all are getting paid for the holiday. another OOOOPs moment for the management.

I love this first one, notice it wasn't till the Cat smelled the fart did it slap the dog

I poop at least twice a day, once first thing and after I get running around at work. That was a suggestion for Morning Buzz Yoda for the Mornings to help get the bowels cleared out.

This has been popping up on my screen every Morning, showing how to make sure you empty your bowels every morning. Before you get up, stay in bed, Lay on your Back, bring you heals up to your Butt and left your butt off of the mattress and push your knees away from you at the same time. doesn't have to be huge lifting just enough to get your butt off of the Mattress. Continue till yep you got it.

No harm Maybe fowl Butt dial
