How does one meet a nice young man?
Comments (8)I know she's well educated, but taking a course at a local college just for the joy of it is one way. I drop back in school every once in awhile to take a course I really am interested in, but couldn't take when I was going there full time toward a degree. So many young people are going back to school to get an edge on the changing job market. I'm talking adults of all ages, they make up about half the class at our local branches. Do something for fun where there is an abundance of men. Flying lessons. Learn to bowl. Join a bicycling group. Take up golf or go to a gym. The upside is lots of good exercise as a fringe benefit. Run for a local office or school board. It's the networking and exposure with other young, vibrant people on a repeated basis. Doing things you sincerely enjoy (or might enjoy) doing....See MoreWhat has happened to the overweight young man......
Comments (5)OK, now that I have watched both videos I can comment. This person did not get to weigh 700# by himself. He can barely stand or get off of the couch, so someone is providing the food for him. I remember back in the 80's we had a similar young man, 19 years old, in our hospital who died from respiratory failure at the same weight. I remember that his family used to give him sticks of butter to eat. I found the videos to be incredibly sad. But I also think that the theme of his you-tube video was that he was helpless to help himself, and that is just not true. He says he has tried everything, but I doubt it. The first thing he should try is to stop putting the 10,000 calories per day of junk food in his mouth. I hope that he is able to get help, and help himself, or he won't live much longer....See MoreOld man cactus still young.
Comments (7)Is that some type of Aeonium growing around the base of your cacti? Nice looking plants, all of them. I'm going to go out on a limb here...Phoenix area? I might've planted some if I'd have known they'd grow that tall when I lived there....See MoreGluten-free, dairy-free recipes which might appeal to a young man.
Comments (50)Well, despite my good intentions, I didn't get any baking done because my son-in-law awoke before everyone else yesterday, and used all the eggs to make us Mother's Day breakfast. Who could complain about that? ;) I spoke to my brother (nephew's father) who does most of the cooking for their family; he said they'd made spaghetti using the gluten-free product we'd given my nephew. They all, including the two teenagers, liked it, and brother said he couldn't tell any difference in taste from semolina pasta. Most of the time, I try to tailor recipes to my family's tastes, or convenience, so I appreciate the discussions of different methods and substitutions of ingredients. Thanks again to all of you who have shared real life experiences and advice about gluten-free/vegan cooking and medical issues. My SIL (nephew's mother) shares a practice with a local internist, so I think they have the medical issues covered. I'm just trying to help out with my specialty--as the family baker....See Morephoggie
