What food should we have, or have not, eaten to prevent deafness?

Ears and ears of corn.

I'm a diehard Southwest flier, only because, they always have so many flights, each day to San Diego, L.A., and San Francisco. That way, if a flight is cancelled, you don't have to hang around too long for another flight.

I don't know what their problem has been lately, but every flight I've taken over the last four months has been delayed. Sometimes up to 3 hours.

Went to the new Natural Grocers store in the former Fresh and Easy location at Simmons/Centennial parkway.
It's cute, way too many vitamins/supplements/protein powders/etc. Who needs that many??? I guess some people are into that stuff. I found their prices to be a bit high on many items. There are some sale products that are a good deal while the sale lasts. But afterwards, not so much. Their motto is "low prices that everyone can afford." But who is this "everyone?" If you have a lot of money to burn and like Whole Foods, this is like a tiny version of them.

Favorite great find for the day: Earthpaste toothpaste in lemon twist for just $3.99. Sale is good until Sept. 5. They do monthly sales flyers, not once a week. Regular price: $5.79. I have a limit for what I will pay for a natural toothpaste and that is about $4.50 total.
I cannot stand regular toothpastes like the national brands. Too many additives, and most are sickeningly sweet.

Thursday, for all of you hula hoops fans, go and join them for the contest, to get as many people hula hooping at once across all of their stores to set a new record. There will be an ice cream social from 4-6pm and 50's music playing. Finally some good music in a store for one day.

If you received their flyer in the mail, you get $10 off, a free shopping bag and a free bottle of Vitamin D. Sign up on their site and you earn rewards. And they will give you an additional $2 off. Bring your own shopping bags as they are a bag free store. If you forget your bags, you can always learn to juggle to get it to your car at least, or you could use their cart.

I am talking about heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, those kinds of things. Not inherited traits. Big difference.

I don't think many of us eat like our forebears because the composition of the food available to us has changed.

So many Chems and additives these days. I try to do my best to avoid them.

It's a toss up and also studies have shown that attitude goes a long way with many health challenges....for example my arthritis.

Genes are not inherited from food. Genes do not need to be in quotes. They are actual things not rumors or allegations.

You may want to do some research and not just believe everything you are told. Try that.
And with this, I am done with this topic.

I wish people would stop quoting posters on my ignore list. I only see their drivel when someone else quotes it.

I started updating my ignore list because some people just tick me off like its a full time job. I can deal with dissenting opinions, that's what message boards are all about, but some of these people......

[Tek_Freek]

I agree. I'm about to add one or two to my list, but what good does it do when it gets quoted? I don't mind dissenting opinions, but some of the drivel that gets posted as the end all is ridiculous.

We took a nice drive from Henderson up to Lake Tahoe. We're staying at the Hyatt at Incline Village. We're using loyalty points to stay here, as the room rate is $600 a night. It is a nice enough place, but by Las Vegas standards it is a $140/night place, not $600.

Most of the cars in the parking lot have California plates, with license plate brackets referencing San Jose dealerships. Maybe a dozen Teslas. Silicon Valley is clearly paying well these days, as I see countless young families with elementary school age children staying in adjoining rooms. At $600 a night.

I guess its good to be in tech these days.

Sitting at the next tables near us at brunch is a party of several sets of adults and kids. We overhear one saying to another, "I just don't know if the time is right to sell the Picasso."

Yes, it is good to be in FinTech or even Tech.
