I don't remember all what happened.  I am sure a lot was behind the scenes, but I liked posting with Faith.

Faith is genius...just a bit (a lot) too right for my liking. Although, if you can meet someone in the middle ground of stars and animals, we're good.

Faith is anti AI. Although, great friends with Dahlia, back to the nascent days of Topix.

AI is alright for certain things.  It's just that people like my two brothers are obsessed with it.  I won't even discuss the topic with them.  It's nuts. 

For my job it is helpful, but I always have to verify everything.  It gets it wrong sometimes.  I have to do the same with lawyers that I send work to, as well.  It's only a problem if you don't understand it's limitations.

I get it - It's AGI that I fear.

NC - was reading your diet/drinking struggles. I went Keto a week ago. I've been walking/hiking sometimes running 4 miles a day. I've been dancing around the same weight for 6 months and decided I needed to do something drastic. I lost 6 lbs in a week. I won't do this for more than 2 months. Everything tastes awful. Keto breath. Ugh....

Even with AGI, it will get it wrong sometimes.  You need human supervision.

The first week is like that for me.  Usually first 3-4 days I am down 3-4 pounds, just from water retention.  I have to take vitamins and magnesium and potassium when I run.  I struggle with that even when I am not running.

My daughter and I talk about this a lot - even human interaction. (Therapist daughter) The subtleties of that.

My mom is the one who told me about magnesium.  She is deficient too.  I had only been taking potassium and a general vitamin for years.  800-1000 mg of magnesium does the trick.

You need it for your heart. I'm careful with both.

So what's the scoop with your dating scene? I'm sorry about what happened with your gf. I don't often comment but I do read.

I have 30 inch waist jeans, when I get in shape.  I have a whole wardrobe from 29 inch to 36 inch ... maybe 38.  I would never buy 40 inch waist pants.  Every time I have even gotten close to that fat, I go on a crash course.  No alcohol and lots of running.

I bought some stretch jeans that are really comforable.

I am not really interested in dating right now.  I have to finish some projects.  My shower is tore out and I have been taking baths for a year.  My laundry room is being worked on.  My son put in a sliding door and I want to stack my washer and dryer and get new flooring and cabinets.  It's not a big area.  So it won't cost a lot.  It's just gotta get done.

I can't be bringing a new woman over to this mess.  I need to get this stuff done and get my landscaping done.  I need to stay off Amazon and stop wasting so much money every month, so I can fund it all.  I really need to get my beach place done and rented out.  That is just costing me $.  For as much as we go down there, we could stay in the nicest resort on the beach and I'd still come out ahead, if I rented it.

That's funny...it's not even about "fat", be healthy. I eat healthy but pasta and potatoes found themselves back in to my diet. I don't eat processed sugars or processed anything for that matter. I can give up bread but potatoes or pasta...

That's my kitchen and laundry room.  Crown molding is down.  I need to paint my whole kitchen, which is open to my living room and dining room, which means I need to paint them all too.
