Taste, i like them,but most folks think they are to messy . Driving, not a good thing to try to eat driving.
I just noticed that in my initial post it reads; “ I’ve only had the traditional salted and roasted peanut BUTTER…..”. I’m talking about peanuts, not peanut butter so there’s no reason for BUTTER to appear in my post. It’s month 6 with this new phone and I know my right index finger did not go rogue on me! I need to reread my posts because it’s 1 of 2 things; my phone is “possessed” or predicted text is engaged!
How are they messy?
I was in North Carolina one time I stopped for breakfast and I tried to order steak eggs and home fries and the waitress told me the steak is served at dinner so I tried the grits never again
A hundred years ago, during the winter months in Michigan, my mother would often prepare oatmeal OR Cream of Wheat for breakfast so we (my sisters and I) had something hot and substantial in our tummies as we made our way to school. I liked both oatmeal and Cream of Wheat as hot cereals and when I see grits, I see Cream of Wheat on a plate which in my opinion is totally WRONG! In my world, Cream of Wheat is served in a bowl with a bit of brown sugar not with cheese!

I didn't check for a long time and now it is back up and working. Must have been getting work done on it.

I believe I’ve been a member 13 consecutive years and have maintained the same screen name. The respectful nice guy that gifted me was a former member, a member on my friend list, someone I knew under a different name. It just took him a couple of years to say “hello”.

It's not the needle that I fear, it's the sting.
It's because of a few bad experiences. It was for a work health checkup once. That needle to draw blood thicker than usual. We always have a survey after the checkup,
so I complained about that needle hurting. They got back to me and told me that no one had ever complained about it (
Another time was during the Covid pandemic. There was a shortage of needles, so they used every Eastern European drain-pipe that they could find. The first and third jab were fine, but the second was very much not nice. It still hurt minutes after.
It’s been many years since then and I honestly DO NOT like needles. I have to look away, the phlebotomist and/or whoever is administering the injection, is a witness to my anxiety and sometimes tears. I never would have been able to be a needle using drug taker…..

but only you yourself can improve your health.
Health or lack of it is not just genetic or accidental,
you have a lot of influence over it with food, water, sleep and exercise.
Ask Grok: "What type of diet is best to reduce heart and arteries disease?"
Good food choices for hypertension management include:
Bananas (contain about 420 mg of potassium per piece)
Leafy greens (spinach, kale, Swiss chard)
Beans and lentils
Sweet potatoes
Avocados
Oranges and melons
You can do exercise without spending a cent. It's just a matter of moving some muscles, raising the heartbeat and working up a bit of a sweat.
My hypertension is reaching risky levels too, I've just measured close to 180/100. It's up and down, depending on how I treat my own body. I went to sleep too late, woke up too early, didn't take my supplements, didn't do any exercises, so it's up today. Last week,
I got it down to 140/85, by doing everything right. It's not fun, I would rather eat what I want and I don't like exercises, but heart disease and needles are no fun either.
My doctor isn't giving me any medicine yet. I have to improve my food, water, sleep and exercise, just like I'm telling you. I mainly have to loose weight. Maybe that's not your problem, but the regiment for your health problems is still almost the same.
The worst you can do is take artificial sweeteners. They tell the brain that something sweet is coming in, creating an insulin spike, lowering the sugar in your blood, because there is no actual sugar coming in. Then the body starts screaming for sugar even louder.
Bananas are just an easy source of potassium and slow sugars (which balance the sugar in your blood). There are other sources of potassium. If there is no potassium food that you like, just buy potassium pills, because potassium is really important if you have hypertension. It can give almost immediate relief. Just don't overdo it, because that's not healthy either.
And just to be sure, I assume you know that salt (sodium) is very bad for you when you have hypertension. You don't have to cut it to zero, because then all food tastes like cardboard, but try to reduce it to the minimum. If you are emptying a bag of potato chips each day, you're killing yourself. Factory food almost always contain lots of salt, sugar, saturated fats or oxidized unsaturated fats. Healthy food is expensive, but if you buy smart and invest time, you can eat much healthier for the same money.
Food factories are turning the cheapest ingredients into PROFIT. They turn unhealthy ingredients into something that people love to eat, by adding sugar, fat and salt,
and feeding the addiction. If you cook for yourself, and be smart about it, you are making money and saving your health.

Like him or not, agree with him or not, he was supportive of the marketplace of ideas
and willing to debate everyone.
There's just one thing though, just because he was active in politics, doesn't mean
that this was political violence. Remember the attempt on Trump's life?
All of the right-wing pointed fingers at the left, but it turned out to be just another lunatic.
When he turned out to be a right-winger, you lot either shut-up immediately or you kept blaming the left somehow. Some even kept saying that he was a lefty of liberal.
Can you wait with pointing fingers, until you have evidence?
And another thing: the same day that Charlie Kirk was murdered, there was another school shooting. Only the shooter is dead and 2 kids were wounded, but you know
how often this turns out worse. It hardly gets any coverage from the news anymore.
Do you think that political commentators have more right to be safe than children?
Charlie Kirk never empathized with school shooting victims. He calls them 'worth it'.
I support his right to say these horrible things, but I don't think that people like him
should be immune from the danger that children suffer each day, because of his ideas.
Care about all the victims, not just your preferred political commentators.
On August 8, 2025, DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose was killed by Patrick Joseph White, a shooter who fired at the CDC complex in Atlanta. White, who died by suicide after the attack, expressed deep discontent with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, believing they had harmed him and others. The incident, which involved over 500 rounds of ammunition, heightened anxiety and trauma among CDC workers and prompted calls for improved protections for public health employees. I didn't hear anyone talk about this, here.
That's a proven politically inspired murder and mass murder attempt. Does anyone care?
All Democratic politicians are shouting that from the rooftops right now, including all liberal news outlets, and all liberal and lefty channels on YouTube. You really have to search hard and long for a lefty extremist who celebrates Kirk's murder. They exist,
of course, but I've found no one with a big platform.
Have you seen all Republicans say murder is wrong, when a Democrat or liberal
is murdered, or attacked with the intent of murder, with a clear right-wing motive?
All the right-wing media is still blaming the left, while every right-winger with a platform is calling for violence against the left.
They are all hypocrites.
When I have an infected wound, it's not "necessary" to take antibiotics, but I generally prefer it over cutting out the infection or waiting until I possibly need an amputation.
The chance for anyone to get Covid at some point in life is close to 100%.
The question is: "Do I want to beat it myself or do I want a immunity system head start?"
I think that I would have survived Covid without getting vaccinated, I'm not old and weak, and I generally have a decent immune system. Still, my brother is 4 years younger, and he had Covid before anyone else had it, because he was at the carnival parties in the south of my country, when it first started to spread quickly. He told me that he had never been as sick as that before. He felt very sick for a week, then had a horrible cough for weeks, and 3 months later, he still had trouble walking up a flight of stairs.
After 2 shots, I eventually got Covid. It wasn't fun, but I have had worse flus and migraines that were much worse.
[Before you think that I am saying that Covid is a flu, I'm not. Those are 2 completely different species of viruses. It's just as wrong to say that Covid is Ebola.]
I missed work for a few days, because I didn't feel like working, but I didn't spent any daytime in bed. After I beat those symptoms, I had a bad cough for a week.
What's important to say that I'm overweight and my brother isn't because he does a lot of physical work. There were many UNVACCINATED men of my age and weight who went to the hospital, were put into sleep on a ventilator for sometimes weeks, and lots of them died. More than 1000 men of my age and weight have died. Vaccination reduced that risk by >90%. The risk of severe illness is reduced by about 95%.
So, I had a personal benefit from getting vaccinated.
The general benefit of me getting vaccinated is that I probably missed less working days, when I eventually got sick. I suffered no long-term effects from it. There were hundreds of thousands of people in my country who did suffer long-term effects or
are even still now not fully recovered. That's a burden on society.
I don't know if the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccine saved my life, but it's possible. Many unvaccinated people died, I know several cases from within my circle of acquaintances. I also know people who almost died and people who are still having after effects.
I don't know anyone who died after getting vaccinated, not from Covid and not from side effects of the vaccine. The statistics are in line with the anecdotal evidence around me.
Besides the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccination, I'm vaccinated against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Polio, Pertussis, Measles and Mumps. That's all the standard ones and Mumps at a later age, because I never had it. Those vaccinations were also not necessary to maintain my health or save my life. I never had any of those diseases, except Pertussis, a few years ago for 3 months. The vaccination effect diminishes after 40 years and the bacterium Bordetella pertussis has mutated. After 3 months, the doctor gave me an antibiotic and then it was gone in a week.
Why would you NOT get vaccinated, if all the information shows you that the benefits are much higher than the risk? I looked into all the claims that the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccine was killing people, and I concluded that those claims were either false or unverifiable. Those claims were coming from the same side that was spreading nonsense to people who don't have the knowledge to dismiss the nonsense. When they are telling me that mRNA-vaccines are gene-therapy, I know that to be nonsense.
There is no system in human cells to include mRNA information into our genes.
And that was even the least dumb conspiracy theory. They were saying that there are micro-chips in the vaccines to track you? Why? People are already carrying their surveillance devices in their pocket. Do you think they can make an injectable micro-chip that can do the job better than your smartphone? They claimed that vaccines were a time-bomb to decimate the population. Really? So they want to kill all the people who trust the government and big pharma and kill all the "critical thinkers"? If it's all a big conspiracy, then that vaccine will keep all the obedient people alive, while they kill the "critical thinkers" with the 100% lethal virus. That's much more logical. I'm still waiting, but neither conspiracy turned true yet.
Let me reverse the question: do you only accept medical treatment, when it is necessary to maintain your health and save your life? Did you ever use medication? Was that medication 100% safe? When you take medication, who do you trust that the benefits outweigh the risk? Are those other people than who told you that the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccine is safe? Can they ever prove to you that mRNA vaccines are safe or will you never trust them?
