Lol Easy for me to say as I’m retired now, but I lived through the same type of issue, meetings at the craziest times.
I agree it is quite fascinating how we are attracted to various personalities. I’ve watched a few clips of Dr. Goldhammer recently and he just says it like it is which I appreciate. I find Dr. McDougall is somewhat like that as well.
Good you can use humour, laughing is so great to lift a persons mood. Wow that’s an interesting friend you have...let me guess they are the opposite of you, ignoring their health, eating the SAD diet, and are overweight? Great response from you
Potatoes are the best aren’t they. I’m planning to make some baked russets and then top it with Chili. Been having a craving for that.
I enjoy your journal and photos, so thank you for that. Just keep on bouncing!

I'll never forget one time at church I was visiting with a friend who had some blemishes on her chin. Another woman made conversation by saying "what do you use for your acne there on your face?" which...my friend was already self-conscious and now this vain bimbo points it out? what is that? It isn't small talk, is it? Do people ask about others' physical issues while standing around after church services?
anyway, good on ya. I would've probably cried

I haven't listened much to Dr. Goldhammer, but if this clip is any indication, he definitely "calls it as he sees it!"

Hope you are having a great holiday weekend. We got a bit of cold water thrown on ours. Our other dog (not the one who had the tumor removed - the other one) has an intermittent problem peeing that the vets simply cannot figure out. The best they can come up with so far is "he has psychological problems." Well, yes he sure does but I don't know how or why this affects his peeing! But anyway, when he has these "bouts" it is much easier to manage the situation at our main house rather than the river cabin. So husband and dogs went home last night and I am still here to do the cabin cleaning this morning and then head home. Sigh..... Long way of saying I should be around later!

I look forward to hearing what it is like going back to the office after 2.5 years. Sometimes I miss corporate life. (but not TOO often! )
Stephanie!!!!! I finally made split pea soup the way you make it! OMG! I have to be a bit mindful about "passive overconsumption!!" I LOVE it! I love the addition of smoked paprika. I also realize that cooking legumes on HIGH in the crock pot is the piece I've been mission all these years! Maybe it's just my cheap and old crock pot, but I would try cooking on low....for hours and hours on end... and legumes would still be too hard! Research suggested many things (beans too old? water too hard? something containing salt causting them not to soften?) but NEVER did I see a suggestion of cooking them on HIGH instead of LOW! So now that I know better I can do better! It is so nice to put stuff in the crock pot before bed, and wake up to wonderful smells and DONE food in the morning! So thank you for sharing your recipe - it really is delicious! I ate a big bowl yesterday over steamed cabbage for lunch, and will have that again today!
Next up - sloppy lentils!
