True, but I dont make this a rule or g uide, assomeimes you come across a  useful one who just does his job, like my msyor -- been running thecity from  cu0ncio chambers for 27 years or so,. but he's worth the longevity.  We mix up  the councilors on occasion, like last election, when we swung two seats a bt  left, to save some green & stop pushing people into homelessness.

So now our council, by happemstance, is: 4 liberal (small-L)
4 conservative (likewise small-C)
4 male
4 female

& the mayor, who stays centre on it all, completes almost perfect balance -- it
takes a lot of citizen work to get to this point, where all sides  arerepresented & get their vote to actually count.

Most people don't take any of the time or effort to be involved to have the  government they can actually be proud of.  Either from a lack of time &/or a  surfeit of apathy.

I consider it my obligation & privilege to keep an eye on those humpers, even  the ones I like & trust.

One of the longtime members whom I like & have voted for every 4 years for the  past 20, likes that I sit where I can see everybody & I watch them when they  spea, & I take notes to some times address them personally, later, or for me to take the dais & ask them publically right there.

I'm fortunate to have the time, right now; also that I can refuse to allow  apathy to rule over me.

It seems that way, but wheat(modern, GMO, Monsanto) is actually proved to be;  it causes Satyiety Disorder (you east & eat, but you're still hungry. . leading to obesity)

The worst problem it directly causes is diabetes.

When you're diabetic, as you know, you need to watch your sugar intake.

The charts & lists of numbers stil use old(pre-Monsanto) data for wheat.

So people don't realize that whole wheat has a Glycemic Index of 120 (pure  glucose sugar is 100)

We grwe up being told "Eat lots of whole grains to be healthy" & it was true,  once, until Monsanto poisoned all the wheat - there's no more non-GMO wheat nor corn.  Corn provides "high fructose corn syrup," which is a non-wheat way to  powerpack intense amounts of sugar into your bloodstream.

Monsanto is evil, as are those in power who are partnered with them & raking in millions a day by monopolizing and controlling critical food supplies.

Very simple to starve any nation or continent by withholding the Monsanto  branded DNA-altered fertilzers required to make their seeds grow into mass food crop amounts

I found ONE purveyor of a 20,000-year old wheat varietal, but I don't have the  space to grow my own wheat, enough to provide the necessary flour for my family of four for a year, nor the facilities to thresh & grind it, so I'm stuck with  only contaminated wheat & wheat products. . . :( 

Working on changing my habits from being so wheat-centred for my diet. (love  toast in the morning(or whenever),. & sandwiches whenever; 50 years of food  habits is hard to break)

>> Oh, I knew it was crappy before the name changes. . .
> It still is.

Yup, I meant it was ALSO crappy before -- now it just means somewone els is  openly claiming ownership of the portions of our lives we spend on Facebook or  Instagram(owned by FB, after a $1.1bn purchase).  Screw hard work to get to  success -- just invent a way to steal mass numbers of people's private info &  sell out to a big corporation for enough to finance you well, for life!

Worked for Tumblr, too -- also a $1.1bn purchase -- so that's the pricetag of  my company to sell -- well, $2.2bn,. because my partner gets the same, of  course. (he's the Wozniak to my Jobs); or whatever the number needs to be that  30% of the company is $1.1bn, as we'll do the same split the Apple Steves did:  30/30 & 40 for other investors for when needed (we won't need them, but maybe  we'll being them on board just to have friendly partners for key areas of need.

I can easily do the math to figure it out -- but I'll save that for when I draw up our contracts. I'm just chattimg now.

So a 10% holder would get over $330bn on exit.  Even Kevin O'Leary would have  his pants tighten on hearing that!)

It's all one big mishmash of identity & data theft(with permission,  technically) & controlling the masses (them asses?) & elections, etc.

I only pop on rarely to check on family, & to sometimes give answer to  ridiculous claims that I see on my newsfeed.

I know -- they're trying to restart it -- kind of like roling yyour car  downhill to trey to get it to start when the battety is low & nobody has  umpers.  Show it what to do, & hope momentum kicks the normal process back into line. (like a pacemaker, I guess, but it's more proactive)

Yeah, that's not listed as a diagnostics port in my user manual(unpublished).

I'm afraid of the day when I need a colorectal endoscopy, that the tube'll go  in so far, it'll trip my uvula into gag reflex.

Bad enough they've had to fil star wars in my peepee! (That's what I called it  when the Urologist explained how he would lar blast my kidmney stones -- put in a stent, to provide a clear tunnel to work within, then  up with a camera &  laser.  I asled whjere he was going in, ho0ping it wouldn't scar me terribly.   He replies, "through the urethra."; I said, "Um, I know what that is,Doc, you'd best be knocking me out for this!"; he agreed I'd be under General, & it was  scheduled to shove a cfamera & laser up my weewee & blast those stones in real  time (might've beebn an intersting home movie -- there are patches tio can  apply to redesign elements like making the stones look like the Dark Side's  ships, & the laser head to look like the photon torpedos on the USS Enterprise! (That would've been AWESOME -- I'd be pissing off both sets of obsessive nerds  for getting it 'wrong' (it's creative fiction, boys; I just know how to  manipulate that, exercising my Creative License I have in my other wallet)

Yup; mine has the female rinse, but that's it -- the rest of the water features are for the back cargo doors. (scrub, rinse, massage, enema) & there's a warm  air dryer for all.

> PP - Powder Puff -- for a feeling of softness and freshness.

I don't have that one, but I could've included, for $400 extra, a tiny spritz  of the scent, perfume, or cologne of my choice, but nahh, $400 is a lot of  food, unhealthy or otherwise, that's of more value to the whole family, then my nethers smelling pretty is to me.

> That's what you get for not following directions.

I always follow instructions or advice from those in a position to well-know  wth they are talking about; everyone else not occupying Heabens throne, we'll  take it on an ad hoc basis only.

It's worked for 55 years so far, & no reason to expect it to change in the next 55. . .
