I tend to slack at times, but there's a book called "Your Bodies Many Cries For Water" that I really like.Started eating beets 2 days ago along with a few other things as well as drinking more water.

I had for a long time steered away from water except for once in a while. Generally drank milk, juice, Ice drinks, and coke zero. I will have to adjust my lifestyle a bit but...time to do it.I tend to slack at times, but there's a book called "Your Bodies Many Cries For Water" that I really like.
Shortly after I had a cancerous kidney removed my kidney specialist instructed me to drink 120 ounces of water a day. It was during the summer months and he knew I was outside a lot in a very humid area. So I did.I tend to slack at times, but there's a book called "Your Bodies Many Cries For Water" that I really like.
Good morning everyone.
No biscuits for me either this morning. I try to make breakfast a healthy, high fiber meal at least 90% of the time. Save the good stuff for later.
I hoping to hike to a local waterfall that the trail has been closed for repairs for a few months. It has finally opened back up. Also, need to get some work done around the house/yard. Not much else on the agenda, maybe fish on the griddle this evening.
When I was younger this was my favorite time of the year. Well, it still is but for different reasons.
I hope everyone has a great day.

That sounds like a John Hagee sermon.Uh, Biscuits ARE the healthy! The salt of the earth healthy. Elijah loved biscuits...
Elijah said to her, “Don't worry about a thing. Go ahead and do what you've said. But first make a small biscuit for me and bring it back here. Then go ahead and make a meal from what's left for you and your son.
Elijah'd let a widow and son starve for a biscuit first. Biscuits are biblical!
The Lord Jesus himself...
During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke it. He then gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take this and eat it: ..."
If it's good enough for Jesus' disciples...
I don't think I grabbed the entire verse but I did catch the biscuit part....
Eating biscuits is biblical!
Also, so is riding motorcycles....
Motor cycles are in the bible!
Joshua himself road them...
Joshua 6:27 KJV "The Lord was with Joshua and his Triumph was heard throughout the land."
Okay, okay... Mark Lowry I am not....
Have a great afternoon...
Coffee and alcohol are two of the many things they want me to either stop altogether or stream it down a lot. Had no alcohol since Wednesday night or coffee since Saturday. Will probably go by the way of no more than 2 cups of coffee a day and no more than two drinks a night when I get the BP down (some days and nights not at all). It was 150/82 15 minutes ago. Doctor put me on Toprol-xl to start tomorrow morning along with Norvasc which I will take at night.Shortly after I had a cancerous kidney removed my kidney specialist instructed me to drink 120 ounces of water a day. It was during the summer months and he knew I was outside a lot in a very humid area. So I did.
I went back for a follow up six months later and had a vast improvement in my kidney function. It went from mid 30's to very high 47 which is really good for one kidney and an age of near 80. Now he has me on 70 ounces a day and no ice tea or hot tea for that matter. I never was one for drinking many soft drinks but I do love ice tea. He did say to drink all of the coffee my little heart desires.
Once I started drinking a lot of water my body craved it. I consider myself fortunate living in an area of plentiful natural spring water that is very pure. I have become a big proponent of drinking water.

Sounds good. We plan on filing this coming weekend. Huge delay for us this year was Ameritrade statements. Those folks are slow.Submitted tax returns today. You win some (Feds), you lose some (KY). Not too bad overall.
Good morning everyone.
We had a good day yesterday. Got some work done around the house, hiked to Bad Br. Falls, ate a good dinner (griddled Filet O' Large Mouth Bass), and watched We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson. I have avoided watching many military movies until a few years ago. Any recommendations from this group?
Bad Branch Falls was running good and we also got to see a few smaller falls on the way up. We usually don't hike this spot early in the spring and that was a mistake. Without the leaves you can see the water and cliffs much better.
I hope everyone has a great day.

re Warrior's Mr Clean: I have a decent size bald spot, so I got electric clippers. I keep it set on the shortest setting and go over my head every time I think of it (at least once a week).Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and cloudy. Light wind out of the south. Today's high expected around 81°F. Nice weather, actually.
Venous Doppler exam complete. Apparently blood thinners dealing with clots, at least somewhat. Must keep an eye on right leg. Having delayed reaction to hair loss. Stuff falls out slowly. Doggone swollen feet are annoying. Putting on walking shoes turned into a chore. Tested several times and blood sugar levels = normal. Thankfully.
Happy to be here.
According to the bracket, Cats play either LSU, Vandy or Georgia this coming Friday. Hope our Cats make some noise.
Wishing y'all an awesome Tuesday.

Don't know how I mis-calculated how much to pay KY. Normally I'm pretty close.Sounds good. We plan on filing this coming weekend. Huge delay for us this year was Ameritrade statements. Those folks are slow.
My biggest problem every year is getting the 1099's for such outfits. I closed out one IRA last year because they made me drive to the bank to get my 1099 as they refused to mail it.Sounds good. We plan on filing this coming weekend. Huge delay for us this year was Ameritrade statements. Those folks are slow.
The vast majority do not come close to where I live so I am thankful for that.

Hmmm, a 4 AM road trip on our vacation next year sounds good. Horn blaring (well, as much as a Nisaan Rouge will blare) and I should be able to locate you.
False. Just had to do it, it is my trade mark.Good morning all,
I hope to bother throughout the day today. I have plenty to do but,..................... you NEED me. 😅 😅 😅

Have a GREAT Day! 😁
We have a 5% state tax, and my area has almost 10% on sales tax too. Not to mention all of the added taxes and fees levied on utilities and other services. And some in this country think we are taxed too little.I have filed my Federal return since I only had to pay a small amount. Usually if I owe I would wait for the last day but this year I got it out of the way. I try not to have a large return because I like to keep my money.
Thankfully we do not have a State Income Tax so I don't have that headache. The State gets a ton of revenue from tourism and since COVID the state has broken tourism records every year. Domestic and International both. When the country shut down the state stayed open and millions came down here. Including prominent politicians who had shut their states down. Nancy Pelosi even made an appearance at her beach home. Tourist leave a lot of money in the state when they leave.

Move to Kentucky. We have the third lowest taxes in the U.S.
Florida, Tennessee and Texas (no income taxes) but they wax your ass on property taxes and sales taxes.
Kentucky has 3 or 4% income taxes with massive deductions (the goal is to have no income taxes in a few years) and we have 6% sales taxes, but there are no sales tax on food or drugs.
Tennessee has massive sales taxes. The last meal that I ate in Tennessee they got me for 12%. On top of that they charge sales tax on food and drugs at the grocery store and the drug store. GEEZE.
I have lived in Texas and Florida and the total taxes in both those States were far more than I pay in Kentucky. In 1999 the last year I lived in Florida my property taxes were $4,200. I moved to Kentucky and a similar priced house cost me less than a $1,000. My Kentucky income taxes that year was $0.00. Since 2000 I have paid less than $1,000 in Kentucky Income Tax since I moved back. Had I stayed in Florida in that same house I would have paid over $80,000 in property taxes.
Folks there is no comparison in high tax states based only on "state income taxes".

I think when you are shopping for states based on taxes you should compare small, rural counties with the urban areas. My son lives in Lexington, KY and his property taxes are out of sight. Astronomical would be more than descriptive. On top of that he has a school tax, a Lexington -Fayette Co tax and the Lord only knows how many more taxes he pays.Bert, AK/WA/NV/NH/SD(ND?) & maybe more have no income taxes.
