That's awesome! As long as you're happy with your fitness level that's what's important. Once you start to scale back on refined sugars the insulin spikes/drops and dopamine release will become less severe

Thanks! It took many years to build up to this. It’s dialed in pretty well now to maintain strength, fitness, and weight. Sugar is very difficult to cut back on but I tell you once you change your gut

Thank you Nancy! Every now and then I'm reminded why I love this platform so much and the comments on this post are one of those instances. It seems like quite a few people from our generation (X) grew

What you say about credit is so true. It's all in how you use it. Cash back rewards can be a pretty good revenue stream. Just paying for monthly expenses with my cards I can usually earn between $50-$80

Air travel definitely isn't cheap anymore!

Thank you! This is great to know. Can you recommend a good computer for this?

Thank you both for the offer! I'm curious about what hardware I would need?

Congratulations! You have my vote. This is something I've always wanted to do. I have to look into making this a reality this year.

Oh yes, I'm seeing a lot of trouble brewing in Europe too. According to The Fourth Turning there's always a lot of chaos in the early stages of great societal transformations. I think that could be what

I really have no idea what triggers these moments. It doesn't happen often to me but has happened pretty consistently throughout my life. You're right though, I wish it happened more often.: ) It's an

There will certainly be companies capitalizing on robots for cheaper labor. The job loss will be a catastrophic to a lot of people and governments will be scrambling to try to control civil unrest. I think

We're really enjoying the series. We watched a few episodes as they were being released in 2010 but then got side-tracked and never continued. The dynamics between the social classes and how they were

I've felt this before, I think I've told you a few times about my connection with London. I chalk mine up to either past life or genetic memories. The Covenant Garden area impacted me deeply, as did Mayfair.
