Re: Striving For a Healthy Long Life

Take care of yourself out there people! I do not believe in giving up or giving in. The current day is my immediate struggle, and I'll push out my life as far as I can. 100 OR BUST! I think that I am going to ask my doctors for Ozempic or Wegovy next month when I see them. I have 2 Drs appointments ...

Re: "Putting" "words" "in" "quotation" "marks"

I may use quotation marks unnecessarily in forums but if I wrote a serious paper I think that I'd know when and where to use them. I was a decent student in college. I was asked by my instructor in an advanced English Lit course at my university to tutor a student athlete and help him get his homewo...

I only cook with extra-virgin olive oil, and have for many years. Jim Excellent EVOO "extra virgin olive oil" is expensive. The growers know what they have. They send their products to be tested, and they like anyone else tries to get the best bang for their product. EVOO polyphenol count...

Pass for me. I'd love to see an XXL version around 4.5" though! There's so little options in the over 4" blade length category.
I'm with Vivi on this.

I'd like to see a few 4.5 inch bladed Spyderco knives. I'll take a 4.5 inch Native Chief!

"Life is short so try and enjoy it while we can." More like, "Life is short so try and enjoy it while we can!" That's what I am doing! Today I received a shipment of award winning California olive oil that is allegedly high in polyphenols and is very healthy for you, and it was s...

Re: Thoughts on the spymyto???

I think it may sell far beyond the typical Spyderco fan base due to it's design. I like the frame lock and the tab opening.

The comic Ricky Gervais just donated 1.9 million pounds to animal charities. He has released a few short videos of him talking about dogs, he really likes them.

Yes, I agree James! I subscribe to the Mediterranean Diet and it works very well. I don't live in fear of eating something and dying, it is more complex than that. To say that I think about and work on my diet daily would be putting it mildly. I am fighting to stay alive. That is the reality. For my...
