Remember going to the beach with your mom and dad?

Remember mom telling you to wait 30 minutes after lunch before going back in the water? She explained something about cramps and death!

Remember going in after 10 minutes anyway?

Well mom wasn't all wet and may have been ahead of her time according to an article in Women's World.

The article doesn't actually mention losing your life because of your choice of food and frolic at the shore but it does suggest a relationship between what you eat and your life expectancy.

When I was young I defied my mom's admonitions and lived to tell about it. But maybe I was lucky.

At that time I had devised a devilish correlation between personal injury and longevity.

I even imbued each injury with an amount of time I would lose in the future.

For example, stubbing my toe would cost me about 1 hour of life but busting it could mean 3 weeks. And don't even talk to me about breaking a leg!

Since there was no way to prove or disprove my theory it has withstood the test of time!

Of course I never mentioned what my starting date, or rather original ending date was. I believed I had a total of 100 years old as the standard. 

Quick Tangent: If you ask people how long they'd like to live many might say 100. But ask them again when they hit 99 and you can bet the number jumps a bit!

But back to the gist of the Women's World article; why would we wish to live our lives constantly changing our diets and food choices based on a 35 minute increased longevity possibility, or even the loss of an hour?

I'm reminded of the story of the lady whose consciousness, while she was on the operating table, floats up to heaven and is greeted at the gate by the guard.

He checks his ledger and asks, "Why are you here now?"

"I have no idea."  She says. "I guess the operation failed."

"No ma'am. You are scheduled for another 40 years on Earth!"

Suddenly she wakes up, rejuvenated in the recovery room. She decides that if she has 40 more years, she's going to have a complete makeover.

She gets a face lift, butt lift, boob job, and a tummy tuck. Basically she opts for the whole nine yards.

Upon leaving the clinic as her 'new self' she is hit by a bus and killed.

When she arrives back at the gates of Heaven she questions the guard.

His curt response: "Hey, I didn't recognize you!"

Bottom line, it's nice to know what to eat but it's also nice to eat what you like and what helps you enjoy life!

We're each on this Earth for a set time so grab your favorite meal and hit the beach!

DEMS ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT BUT THE RIGHT IS ALWAYS WRONG!

Surprise, surprise, a right wing pundit working for a right wing organization with a typically 'nice sounding' name that belies it's intent has written an article damning Biden. (Link to article at the bottom of this post.)

Who would've thought it?

Sadly I must visit the "Whataboutism" room and ask why the author or his group of fascist dictator loving conservs did not write a "He could have but didn't" piece about any of the recent repub leaders in DC.

Hey Freddie K, let me start you off with some suggested titles for your 'never to be written' articles:

"W Could Have Gone After Real 911 Attackers. He Chose Not To."

"Cheney Could Have Stayed Out of Iraq. But He Chose Not To."

"mcconnell Could Have Followed The Constitution instead of stealing SCOTUS Seats. But He Chose Not To."

"dt Could Have Sided With American Intelligence Over Putin. But He Chose Not To."

"dt Could Have Saved Lives When Covid Hit. But He Chose Not To."

I could go on and on but why waste my time explaining how hypocritical the right wing propaganda machine truly is.

How often has a Democratic leader done or attempted to do exactly what a repub leader before him tried to do only to be vilified for trying to put such a 'liberal socialistic' thing in place?

Think about mitt romney and his healthcare plan that was lauded by repubs and how the same repubs went after Obama's version of the same thing!

"They Could Have Chosen To Welcome a Plan To Save American Lives. BUT THEY CHOOSE NOT TO!!!"

Here's the promised link to the hatchet piece by another hypocritical fascist loving right winger in a another fascist loving right wing organization:
