25 Things BAD For You

This rather attractive headline caught me eye...can't recall the source, but it is written, so it must be the truth...the top 25 things that are the most unhealthy in the super...like, market...talk about opening a can of worms...there are thangs all over the place that figure under that headline...but, they said the TOP 25...for clarity, the WORST 25 would have been better...somehow, the donut didn't make the list...perhaps, they meant the most surprising 25...I dunno...

The reliability of the article came under scrutiny right away, as the numbering system started at 35...thus, they listed the worst 35 instead of 25...guess the first 10 mentioned, er listed, are not that bad...or not as bad as...the TOP 25...er, WORST...here's the deal...I eat many of the items on the list...this is not a good thing...salad dressing, chips, double stuff Oreos, cereals, balloon bread, pasta, packaged Mac and cheese, and Diet Coke...the items continue on...

OK, I can change...really can...but the Horse has been hooked on TAB, then DC and Diet Pepsi for over 60 years...the author says that the culprit is aspartame....is that as part of me?...dozens of studies have linked it to serious health problems...cancer, Alzheimers, seizures, strokes, dementia, as well as intestinal dysbiosis, mood disorders, headaches and migraines...pretty much sounds like that list of what is named on most drugs that one might take, and the disclaimers are rattled off on the pixels...and for goodness sakes, trump is addicted to it...so I must change...from this day on...no Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi...none...

I have found my New Year's resolution...my beverage intake is now Coke, Pepsi, Iced tea, and Agua...Iced...and, of course, black coffee..OK, beer too...and some bourbon...but, that's it, kids...now, as far as the double stuff Oreos, we have an issue to be dealt with in another year...

Let's go...

The case of too many bowl games...that are rather meaningless...if not playoff worthy, then why?...quite often, obvious players opt out of them, to save themselves from injury...for their lucrative chance at playing and making big $ in the NFL...I get that...no better example, than the Mississippi QB last eve...got hurt and is now a ? mark for the pros...he was to be a certain 1st round pick...

You see, this bowl system is a bunch of crock...the winners are the coaches who get bonuses for taking a team to one...more if they win...really...the organizing committee make bucks, too...often it is their only job for the year...tell you something?...the league makes cash, too...time to bash them, increase the amount of teams in the playoffs...use the 'bowls' as part of the match ups...a total no duh...of course, I have been saying this for years...no more Potato Bowl...

Obviously off his rocker, donny...too many Diet Cokes...wants to make a speech on January 6...has he got a clue?...he laughs at the judicial system...just laughs...and Congress, too...

A 4th stimulus check in the offing?...$1400 it is said...is this a reality?...

Boss Lady and I had to do this...put our bikes on the new carrier and try the bloody thang out...well now...we are rookies...took us over an hour and half to figure the damn thing out...had to retire back up to the condo, to rest...ha ha...and to readjust what we had just constructed...alas, it turned out successfully...off we went to Mission Beach for a ride...and for lunch...it was a winner and kick ass...BTW, a gazillion of people there, too...the weather has turned...

44* here this am...what the heck?...bright, sunny, and cooooold...

Downloaded this crazy new weather app on my Mac...HD and the screen moves...has all the bells and whistles...called 'Live Wallpaper HD'...check it out, it is way cool...

Stephen King wrote 'it's lovely to start a year when donald trump isn't president'...yes, sir...

Not sure if this kinda thing happens too much, or at all...but out at Santa Anita Race Track...jockey Flavien Prat was either 1st or 2nd in every race...yesterday...

Just betcha you don't have this where you live...but, there are new laws that take affect NOW...here in Cali we have a beaut...that ya'll can't throw out food anymore...it has to be put in a special can....ah, what?...to curb food waste...this may be worse than all the bike lanes throughout our city...with no biker on 'em...I didn't know that Schwynn had just a big lobbyist...

Have to comment on this...a Q on one of the social media sites...asked what do you put on your steaks, Heinz 57 or A-1?...my reply is, I finish off my steaks with a pat of butter...that's it...natural juices and the butter....BTW, margarine was on the Worst 25 list...I use butter...

Some NFL games today that got me...thinking...Miami at Nashville...Ariz at Dallas...KC at Cincy...Denv at the Chargers...like the home teams in all...do NOT bet this...

Jan 2, 2022...think I may wager on the number 2 in the 2nd race at Santa Anita...wonder if Prat is aboard?...and yea, this might be destroying my 'Bad' thing attitude...
