Update Season IX - "CAD, Kenya, CAD, Kenya, CAD, Kenya, CAD"

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I'm home from a great night of Bible Study with my cousins.  Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to breakfast as a family for breakfast and then grilled pizza for supper.  Grilled pizza uses homemade pizza mix like you would put in the oven, except the crust is grilled and the toppings are applied before being melted onto the crust on the grill.  It creates a very crispy and delicious pizza.  We had some startling news and wholesale changes will probably come, but we're going to continue to enjoy ourselves even in the food department.[\b]

Mr Frog... you might want to check the temperature of the water you're sitting in...

The fact that you think that defines enjoyment in food, suggests you're a lost cause.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

What?!

Now I respect the not-stressing the small stuff mantra. Just because a condition can be managed/treated doesn't mean it's not serious and requires serious attention.

As someone with two parents with type 2 - you are more of a prime target than anyone and your family's thoughtless and cavalier attitude to health and what you put in your mouths is a prime cause.

Wake up mate, or you're next.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

There is if it's not in moderation. It's not just about sugar, it's about blood-sugar and that deals with everything you eat.

Wow... you're resigned to diabetes? When it's completely avoidable at this stage?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Look at low-GI foods - you might not like the sound of them but it's what you need to eat to manage blood-sugar levels.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Bushie and his family needs to change their entire way of life.

Two points: no they don't, and they can't.

You're 50% right ... and that's a record for you

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Again 'enjoy' comes up - as in if its not loaded with meat, fat and carbs you can't enjoy it.

This the f'd mindset you and your family has - how the hell do you expect to make any changes if you regard those changes as punishment? It's childish "noooo I don't want vegetables ..." ... actually that's being unfair, to children, as I think I and a lot of children had a better relationship with food at 4 than you do at 31.

A lot is because your parents have spoiled and coddled you...

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Yep. The problem is they treat healthy food as a punishment. They don't think it's possible to enjoy a salad or a good piece of fish. Enjoyment can only be found in a McDonald's burger or a pizza. I actually feel worse when I eat those things.

I was staying with relatives who eat like the Family Bushie - after 3 days of that diet a) I felt ill b) I was craving steamed vegetables.

Incorrect.

Is it bad or childish not to like salad?  I have never liked salad with or without dressing.

Honestly? Yes.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Interesting how the obesity rates plummet immediately over the OK/AR/LA borders with Texas.

Probably because the person trying to get the data was shot.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Bushie unknowingly befriending a gay guy at school who falls for him thus forcing Bushie to question his own sexuality would be a classic but still great story arc!

Or a Christian trans.  Make it happen.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I'm lucky if I have 30 mins between getting up and leaving in the morning.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

A 4:55 wake up for class at 8 is insane.

Considering Bushie's capacity for self-sabotage...

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I have a feeling they're in far worse financial straits than he knows. They spend a lot of money for people who live in a trailer.

Mom and I converse about our finances all the time.  She knows my finances (save for the now cancelled porn subscriptions) and I know their finances.  We have an open communication when it comes to that.

Wait a minute... you told us that you told them about the porn.

Thank you!

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

You 'know' he forgives you?

No, you just need to believe he does...

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Even after 100 bourbons I still smell BS

About what?  Or are you just being very pessimistic for absolutely no good reason?

If you call experience 'no good reason'

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I may be in bed early tonight.  The stress and agony of trying to sell my house over the last six months has certainly been taxing.

Oh do be quiet... you have responsibilities and you're 'taxed' from a life of doing sod all and neglecting an innocent animal.

Grow up and don't you dare feel sorry for yourself.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

When I eat Subway versus Burger King, Mickey's, or the like, I've noticed that's an automatic half pound difference minimum the next morning.

That's not how it works; that means you either drank less, ate less, or pooped more.

The Subway sandwich has far less calories than the burgers I normally get at either BK, McD, or Braum's.  We're talking 600 calories for Subway and anywhere between 1,000-1,300 calories for the burger, not including if I get cheese and fries with ti.  I normally get the double patty burgers at any place I go.  So, the Subway sandwiches in some cases are half the calories.

OK, but the effects only having half the calories are not going to manifest themselves overnight.  If you eat 5 pounds of celery, you're going to weigh more in the morning than if you'd eaten 2 pounds of ground beef.  Eventually it'll lead to a weight decrease, but it won't manifest itself overnight.

True, but I know from experience nearly every single time I eat fewer calories, I weigh less the next morning.  Of course, it is helped out with a BM both before bed and first thing in the morning.

To be honest, I get spending money from Mom periodically.

Periodically?  You've been getting spending money from Mom ever since you quit your job in Utah!

How can bushie financially afford to eat out every day?

His version of the story is that his parents give him an ample allowance. Perhaps he's related ti Walter White. He did mention ABQ a while back.

Hey, it's the best I can do for now.  Its nothing really to be ashamed of, either.

A 31-year-old man taking an allowance from his parents is definitely something to be ashamed of.  I'm embarassed for you.  I mean... my sister wastes my parents money quite a bit, but at least she has a job.  Granted, she's defrauding money out of them to pay for a wedding ring, and you did it for porn, although I'm actually not quite sure that the wedding ring is better than the porn.

It is nothing to be ashamed of.  I am hardly the only 31-year-old man living with his parents and needing their help.    Yes, I want to change that, and I am changing it right now with this CADD certificate pursuit.  It just won't be an immediate change.  Kansas City is on the horizon.
[/quote]

I'm not sure the "I'm not the only one!" argument is what you really want to make.  And there's nothing wrong with getting help from your parents.  I still get "help" from my parents.  They provide me with a place to live (and that's about it, other than occasional food).  You are 100% fully dependent on your parents.  There's a big difference between getting help and mooching.  I don't mean to harp on this, but you downplay how much they do for you quite a bit.  You make it sound like your behavior is normal; IT'S NOT!
[/quote]

As I've said, I have nothing to feel ashamed about.  I'm doing what I need to do to get out of that situation.  There's no harm or shame in staying in this situation for another 9 months or so while I create an opportunity to get completely off their dole as soon as I move out.  I want to be in Kansas City by June 1, 2014 and I expect to make enough money to be able to shake loose of their support completely by July 1, 2014 once I start getting paychecks under my belt.  That's what I'm working toward.  It's a little embarrassing now, but it's worth it enduring a little embarrassment now for big reward later.

And here lies the ENTIRE sodding point of these updates... he REFUSES to feel any shame or guilt... when frankly, if I were in his position, it'd be like a millstone around my neck.

Bushie... it's not one post, it's your entire posting history.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Bushie... it's not one post, it's your entire posting history.

There are things that I do feel guilty about, but I don't beat myself up over them.  I ask forgiveness from the person I offended and from my God and I move on because I am forgiven.

You ask for forgiveness... and because of your inability to accept adult responsibility for your mistakes, you ask for forgiveness from something that can't say 'no' to you. Therefore not saying 'no' equals 'yes'.

Which is pretty much part and parcel of your problems.

I own up to my mistakes a lot more than you realize.  I'm not a total childish douche...

Accepting mistakes and asking for forgiveness from something that can't say 'no' to you... and accepting responsibility and doing things to change it are two markedly different things.

You're accusing me of something false.  I am human, I make mistakes, but news flash: you are human and you make mistakes.

No one - and read carefully - is saying that mistakes don't get made. Because they do - but I am accusing you of not taking responsibility for those mistakes and learning from them. You ask forgiveness from God, then throw it back at your enabling parents to fix them.

I'm younger than you, I've made terrible mistakes, but I've learned from them - but it seems you haven't learned a damn thing.
