Holiday eating – December pleasures, holiday regret?

2 weeks ago2 weeks ago6 mins

We don’t have to eat ourselves to death to enjoy the holidays. I’m including myself when I say this. I gained two pounds just from Thanksgiving day alone. I had finally lost a few pounds and presto, faster than the twinkling of an eye I gained two back.

It’s easy to do. I ate generous portions of ham and turkey, along with derby pie (two pieces), oatmeal cake and sweet potato pie. Yum yum it was so darn good!

To show for my eating frenzy is some added weight and a high blood sugar number the next day. There are consequences to such pleasure!

It’s the economy, stupid

Dear Editor,

The long time potential strategist James Carville has always said “It’s the economy stupid” and I get it. But this time around, he had added when he said “Something is bigger and more threatening than the economy, and that’s Project 2025 … They don’t put together a 900 page playbook and not plan to use it.” A manifesto that will take away freedom and protection like we’ve never seen in our lifetime.

Although we’ve been recovering from a worldwide pandemic faster than all other countries including Europe, but it wasn’t fast enough for most and then Biden and his party had to go.

The “proverbial Kool-Aid”

Dear Editor,

My friend sent me the copy of the article written by the 84 year old! How tacky that person was in the name calling. Really?? Grade school?? How old are we actually? I’m a 73 year old great grandma. So not a spring chicken – Here is my rebuttal to that letter:

84 Years –

Unfortunately, it seems that you have had a drink or two of that “proverbial Kool-Aid.” In all your years on this earth, I’m sure you have run into people who had a drink of that same “Kool-Aid.”

So, if I may reiterate: I really do wish a liars pants caught on fire.
