Sometimes I wish I could show you pictures of Mister Crackpot.
We've been together almost twenty years and that man still gives me butterflies—he's truly beautiful in my eyes. Your Betty has many friends that want to know how I've remained faithful to one man while also maintaining a deep and abiding love for my partner in all things.
Just the other day my colleague Amelia Heartburn said, "Betty, how do you do it? How do you stay attracted to one person over time?" I'll let you in on one of my tricks as I did for Ms. Heartburn, my darling readers. It's not always easy to implement, but it sure as shit works:
I'll never forget a 4th of July some 15 years ago. I can assure you that the Mister and I had plenty of fireworks to celebrate—wink-wink. First, though, we had to host what would become our annual 4th of July Bash.
It feels like yesterday—many of our friends were strewn about the yard, our picnic was in full gear. The children were splashing in the pool and Mister Crackpot was busy at the barbecue. When he was at last able to take a moment to eat, I patted the ground next to me. He proceeded to fill his plate and join me along with about ten of our friends.
And then it happened. I was staring at him in complete admiration and love as he finished commenting on the general conversation. I was truly counting my blessings. But then I witnessed him do something completely unholy to a hotdog.
It was a mix between an inhalation and a gulp. I remember there was the semblance of a bite, but I can't be sure. Within a fraction of a second the entire bun and dog were gone. I'm sure I saw its shape outlined in Mr.Crackpot's throat. Time froze. I was experiencing a revulsion that is too painful to relay. Dear readers, I wasn't able to unfix my eyes from his throat until Mr. Crackpot nudged me and asked, "Why, Betty? Are you okay?"
Oh, my darlings, I didn't know where to set my eyes—I forced my gaze upon my guests. Had they observed what I had? Did the summer heat cause me to have a vision? I looked at his plate. Nope. The hot dog had clearly been consumed. I was in a trance of disgust.
Later I noted, against my will, how my man eats corn. It was disgusting enough for me to consider a trial separation. I also won't deny that I did in fact witness him talk with his mouth open and observe chip crumbs fly like weeds being whacked. Oh, Lord—did we have a row that evening. I believe it began when I stated in my sweetest fashion,
"Why, Mister Crackpot, you eat like a fucking pig."
"Betty!" he exclaimed, "Why now? We've been together for quite some time."
And I realized, dear readers, Mr. Crackpot was right. Why I never managed to notice his filthy methods of ingestion is beyond me. Perhaps it was the pressure of a crowd. Perhaps it was that our extended honeymoon period had come to an end. Regardless, it was difficult to stare at him directly and not envision a snout where his distinguished nose had been. And then it dawned on me, dear readers: if I wanted to keep all that was working, and all that was so beautifully intact in our relationship, I would have to learn to look around, thru, over and beyond him anytime we ate together. Forever.
The good news, my lovelies, is that finding various focal points when sitting across a table is not too difficult. I use my flirtatious powers too—eyes down while he chews, batting my lashes as he takes a drink—one of the only non-disgusting things he does at a table.
Either he's wise to my tricks and keeps silent, or I've really learned how to avert my eyes from his piggish ways and thereby saved our relationship. In all fairness, dearests, I will admit to having dropped various food items down my shirt only to discover them hours later nesting in my bra. Somehow, though, this doesn't have the same nauseating effect as the deep-throated hot dog from so many years ago.
Please take my advice to heart—and do share your tales of table witchery with me.
Yours Till the Timer Dings,
Betty Crackpot

Navigating The Waters To Find A Personal Injury Lawyer
Have you been involved in an accident that has left you injured? If so, then you might want to file a personal injury lawsuit. This will help you get compensated for the injuries you have received. The following article will give you some great tips for handling a personal injury case.
The key to winning a personal injury lawsuit is having good records. These records will help your attorney prove who was at fault for the accident. By keeping good records, you can quickly find any information your attorney needs. This information should include the names of witnesses, the date of any treatment and medical records.
Never hire a divorce lawyer to oversee your personal injury case. This may seem like common sense, but many people feel that the lawyer they've already dealt with is great, so why not get them to help? Instead, ask them for a referral for someone who specializes in this type of law.
How to Find The Right Personal Injury Lawyer
Always go to the hospital if your injury may be the fault of someone else. If you do not fully document your injury as soon as you can you put yourself at risk for not getting the money that you may deserve in a settlement. So, if you want to protect yourself, be sure to visit a doctor right away.
Constantly communicate with your personal injury lawyer to become involved in your case. This is very important as lets you know what is going on and makes you feel a part of the team. This will reduce the stress and anxiety that you have if you ever appear in court.
When you take a personal injury case to a big law firm, you may meet the head honcho to talk, but your case will be passed down to junior associates. They tend not to have many cases under their belt, and this can lead to a loss. Look for a small firm instead.
Skype just doesn't cut it when you're working with your lawyer. You need to be able to meet them in person to truly get a feel for who they are and what they stand for. Your lawyer will be at your court hearings, so it's better to choose someone near you.
When picking the personal injury lawyer that is right for your needs, take advantage of the free consultation that is offered by most reputable law firms. Ask for the details of how you will be billed for the service you need and make sure to be completely honest with the lawyer about the details of your case.
Consider what happens in your life if you do not win. A lot of the time, people open personal injury lawsuits, and then lose. They are then stunned and have no plan past that point. You needn't dwell on losing, but know what you will do if you do lose.
You need to understand your attorney's strategy for your case.
They will have a plan on how they are going to proceed with your case, make sure that you understand and agree with this course of action.
The attorney should be able to lay out different elements that they plan on proving to ensure that you win.
Call the police if it is at all appropriate to do so. Even if there would not be a criminal complaint, it is often a good idea to have a police officer document your complaints. This ensures that there is a solid paper trail to confirm that the event actually did occur.
Look for a personal injury lawyer that you can like. You may be thinking business is business and why should liking someone be a part of it. But remember: you'll be spending a lot of time and energy together and the entire process can be stressful. It'll be much easier to deal with if you like your lawyer.
If you need a lawyer to represent you in court, you can contact the American Bar Association for referrals to lawyers in your area. This is a great resource if you do not know where to look. They will give you a list of lawyers in your area and you can set up interviews to review any of them you like.
Understand before coming to an agreement how much your personal injury attorney will be charging you.
A lot of law offices keep you in the dark about their fees unless you commit to the attorney.
It is important that you are not lied to, and you are clear about what you are going to pay for services. Insist on getting a printout of the attorney's fees.
At your first meeting with your personal injury lawyer, bring anything that you think is relevant to your case. For example, if the police were involved, bring a copy of their report. If you have spoken with your insurance company, bring any notes that detail what happened with them. All of this information will help your attorney start piecing together your case.
If you have suffered a serious injury, do not wait to seek medical treatment. Failure to get medical attention when the injury occurs could lessen your settlement or even get your case tossed. The defending lawyer could accuse you of neglecting to take the necessary steps to prevent further injury.
Always interview the attorney that will be representing you in your personal injury claim. Have any questions you may have written down before you interview them and find out as much as possible about their qualifications and experience as you can. You will probably be spending a good amount of time talking to them, so having good communication with your attorney is required.
As was stated earlier in this article, becoming injured in an accident can be devastating. Getting compensated for your injuries is important and the way to do that is by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Apply the helpful advice from this article, and you will be one step closer to winning your personal injury case.
If you've been injured, visit best personal injury solicitors in London to learn how they can help you through this difficult period.

Love where you live in 2017!
As we say goodbye to 2016, now is the perfect time to reflect on our goals for the new year and especially, look at adding a new home as a goal for 2017!
It's so important to be near family over the holidays, and spending more quality time with loved ones is always a positive goal for the year.

Check out our latest video on the official Two Rivers TV and find out why now it the time to buy a new home in the New Year.

If you ask us, there's no better way to take advantage of the brisk winter weather than to take a nice, long walk around our community or in one of the local public parks nearby.

Pickleball can be played by all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple, so it's an easy game for beginners to enjoy and for those pickleball experts, the game can quickly climb to fast-paced and competitive.
The game can be played on an indoor or outdoor court–built specifically for pickleball, or modified from an existing tennis or badminton court using a modified tennis net. The court is similar to a tennis court, with right and left "service areas" and a non-volley section on either side of the net, referred to as the "kitchen."
Players use a plastic ball with holes and paddles. Paddles are smaller than a tennis racquet, but larger than a ping pong paddle and are primarily made of lightweight composite materials.
Pickleball games can be played as a doubles or singles match, making this activity a great way get to know your new neighbors at The Villages at Two Rivers. And though this game can be competitive, it is also a social activity and a favorite among active adults.
Our residents at Two Rivers enjoy pickleball and other fantastic community amenities and social gatherings! Get ready to have some fun!

All-Natural Cleaning Products You Already Have In Your Home
Cleaning probably isn't high on your list of favorite past times, and it can be made more unpleasant from harmful ingredients often included in conventional cleaning products, such as various detergents and ammonia. Not to mention that constantly buying new cleaning products can cost a pretty penny!
We're here to help and make your home cleaning process a little more enjoyable with suggestions for all-natural cleaning products you already have in your home. Unlike traditional cleaning products, the following all-natural products aren't detrimental to your health or the environment – and since you likely already have them in your home, they'll save you a trip to the store as well!
Black tea window and hardwood floor cleaner.
Put away that Windex and use black tea to clean your windows instead! The acid in the tea helps dissolve grease and dirt. While you're at it, you can use black tea to clean your hardwood floors as well!
Scented vinegar laundry rinse.
Instead of using fabric softeners in your next load of laundry–which can include harsh chemicals–consider a splash of scented vinegar instead. Try using either fresh herbs or essential oils for the scent!
Cookie sheet cleaner.
Tarnished cookie sheets? Make a paste out of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, spread it evening over your pan, and wipe away after a few hours.
Homemade countertop disinfectant.
Spray your countertop with a layer of hydrogen peroxide, then a layer of vinegar, and wipe clean for a countertop disinfectant, free of bleach.
Grapefruit Bathtub Scrub.
For a great-smelling and all-natural bathtub scrub, sprinkle half of a grapefruit with salt and scrub, squeezing as you go.
Drain unclogger.
There's no need for Drano to unclog those drains if you have two simple ingredients instead–baking soda and vinegar!

Decorating Tips for Your Brand New Home
Decorating Tips for Your Brand New Home
Buying a new home is exciting for a multitude of reasons, and one of those reasons is the freedom to decorate however you choose! It's a great opportunity to infuse your personal style into your new living space–from the kitchen, to the living room, to the bedroom and beyond.
If you're excited about the prospect of decorating your new active adult home, but are intimidated by interior design, don't fret! You do not need a professional for your home to look incredible. Read on for our favorite tips for decorating your new house, and it'll truly feel like home in no time!
Don't forget about function.
It may seem like a no-brainer, but you'll want to think about the function of each room you're decorating, before choosing the furniture and decor. For example, if you like to entertain and plan on hosting large parties, the function of your kitchen and dining room change. They're not just for you and your family–they'll need to be functional rooms for your parties.
Perhaps there's a room in your new home that you thought would serve as a den, but have now decided a study would better serve your home needs. This will change the look and feel of the room, as well as the furniture needs. Analyze your lifestyle first, before deciding on the decor.
It's all about lighting.
Lighting is a key factor to consider when decorating your new active adult home. Consider where all sources of natural light, and which part of the room will be brightest and dimmest throughout the day. Utilizing multiple layers of light–such as floor lamps and table lamps–will allow you to control the mood of each room.
Consider proportion and scale.
Any interior designer will tell you–never ignore the importance of proportion and scale. Especially in homes with large, open floor plans, such as our new homes in the Villages at Two Rivers. Be cognizant of the size of your furniture and accessories, and how that size compares with the overall proportion of the room. If the size of your furniture and accessories are disproportionate with the space you're decorating, that space will lack harmony. When you buy furniture and accessories, think of how they'll work together in the overall space, instead of how they will look separately.
Test paint colors.
Many homeowners have learned the hard way–paint doesn't always look the same on the walls, as it did in the can or on the paint swatch! Before you have your heart set on a particular shade and start to decorate the rest of your room, test out our chosen color on the walls to double check it is a color you love! Keep in mind that the paint color on walls tends to look more subdued once all furniture and accessories are in place–so don't be afraid of bold, rich colors.
Feel free to move the living room furniture from the walls.
For many homeowners, the instinct is to push the living room furniture flush with the walls. Make a room feel more cozy and inviting by moving the furniture away from the walls and closer together to create a conversational space. Consider placing a large area rug under the living room area to further unify the pieces together.

Ideas for the Ultimate Tailgating Party
Fall is officially underway, and with the cooler weather comes a favorite time of year for many – football season! There's no better way to celebrate than with the ultimate tailgating party at your home in The Villages at Two Rivers. Our beautiful, newly constructed homes offer the perfect space to host family and friends to cheer on your favorite team and enjoy each other's company.
Whether you're a football fanatic or more interested in the party aspect, read on to learn tips for hosting the ultimate tailgating party:
Football finger food
You can't host a proper tailgate without plenty of food options. When it comes to tailgating party food, your opportunities are endless – just search "football party food" on Pinterest and you'll see what we mean! Though the abundance of options may seem overwhelming, we'd suggest sticking with a variety of finger foods that are easy to consume, in addition to being tasty.
Your guests may be expecting the classics, such as buffalo chicken dip, wings, nachos and the like, but don't be afraid to mix it up with some out-of-the-box recipes as well. You can also look for healthier alternatives of your favorites, for a more nutritious spin.
Luckily, residents at The Villages at Two Rivers can turn to fresh food options at many of the retailers at the local Waugh Chapel, including Wegman's which always has fresh entertaining ideas ready at hand, and bulk organic produce perfectly priced for your upcoming party.
Keep your guests' thirst quenched
Whether they prefer alcoholic beverages or non-alcoholic refreshments, your guests will likely expect something refreshing, so keep those coolers stocked and plenty of ice on hand. Many of our homes offer screened-in-porch options which are perfect for stashing those coolers stocked with ice and extra beverages, during your party. It's also a great place for guests to mingle as they relax and enjoy the atmosphere of your new home! To keep those coolers nice and chilled, try labeling each cooler to prevent guests from constantly opening and closing them. Be sure to save an extra beverage bucket or space on a table in the event guests also bring refreshments your gathering.
And of course, don't forget the drink accessories! Place cups, bottle openers, wine glasses, and koozies by the coolers for easy access.
Decorate before you tailgate
Feeling crafty? There are so many options for DIY tailgate party decorations for your ultimate tailgating party! Do some Google searching for inspiration, swing by your local craft store for supplies, and most of all, have some fun! If you're not much of a DIY-er, trying to incorporate the colors of your favorite team into the food and party decorations. This is always an easy way to show your team spirit!
More than football fun
Be sure to provide options guests who may not be quite as interested in football. A game of cornhole is always a classic crowd pleaser and a fun way for guests to enjoy social time together.

There is a Christian guy in the bible study in my school and he is one of the nicest people I know. He is in 3rd year medical school at the best medical in all of Canada - a school that only accepts about 10 - 20 students a year and he is always respectful and humble around people less educated than him.
While other christian doctors are trying to surround themselves with doctors, lawyers, engineers, corporate ceos and billionaires - his goal is to act as a doctor for homeless people because he wants to show gods love to those in society that people consider to be low class.
He is also extremely humble - asking advice from people who are far less knowledgeable then him and treating his pastor like the pastor is his father.
Why is he so nice? I do not see this kindness reflecteed in other christian doctors.

I have had a tough time finding clothes that fit ever since I went from being 290lbs to 150lbs granted I had a hard time with clothes when I was bigger. Either the clothes are too tight, too baggy, or too short. I'm 150lbs 6'0 if that info helps. Button up shirts are either too short or too baggy as in the arms of the shirt are baggy and the back is loose. I wear nothing but skinny jeans because everything else looks super baggy on me and I hate baggy clothes, but I also hate clothes that are too tight.
How to find clothes that actually fit me properly?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
Go to a mall and go in all different stores and try on a few different types of shirts, once you find a style and size you like from that store you can continue to go back when they bring new stuff in. either that or you can ask the salesmen if they have anything slim-fit that will fit you well or just in general explain to them your dilemma and have them help you find styles to fit and suit you.00|00|0
You go to clothes store and try the clothes on.
How tall are you?00|00|0
I'm 6'0. The only reason I don't go to a clothing store is because there isn't one and usually big name clothing stores have crappy clothing.
Well you just said the reason ehy you can't find clothes. Not only because you are tall, it decreaces your options, but uou don't buy from big companies and you dont have some store near you. Internet! Order online! And try to even check out what companies have to offer.

On the Internet I'm constantly hearing "black girls are gross" and "ew I would never date a black girl". Black men on the Internet will say this completely out of the blue, white men on the Internet will say this usually only if they're asked.
but I've never met anyone who has this feeling in real life. I (not purposely) dated exclusively white guys for my first three years of high school. I've been asked out by countless hispanics. I've dated one black guy and been hit on by infinitely many more.
Admittedly I'm not your average black girl. I live in the hills, have a 4.5 gpa, and have soft, girly features with long (real) hair and a thin frame. But still if, as the Internet claims, all guys are disgusted by black girls, why have I never experienced this hatred?

Strawberry Rhubarb Compote
Recipe by foodtvfan
Quick and easy fruit compote to serve over ice cream, frozen yogurt, or cake. It is also good used in a trifle or make individual desserts in a wide-mouth wine glass; cut pieces of pound cake or angel cake, add some sauce, scoop of ice cream and more sauce on top. Add a dollop of whipped cream and some crushed nuts on top to make it decadent. From a magazine clipping a long time ago.
Top Review by Marjorie D.
Thanks for this. I made this not thinking it would be the highlight of the dessert and it was. Really good flavor, with just enough citrus tang from the orange zest/juice. Very good red color. Made and enjoyed on Saturday, left in fridge and enjoyed again Tuesday night. Plan to have more tonight. Thanks!

Available today on Blu-ray, DVD, 4K Ultra and Digital Download is the docu-drama Deepwater Horizon.
The film stars Mark Walhberg, Kurt Russell, Gina Rodriguez, John Malkovich and Kate Hudson.
Deepwater Horizon was inspired by the true event of the Deepwater Horizon rig that had a serious blow out leaving eleven crew members dead and causing the largest oil spill in U.S. waters.
Some people might recall the massive oil spill that occurred in 2010. Hundreds of thousands of fish, birds and other wildlife were killed as a result and many fishing businesses suffered because they could not fish in the oil filled water.
The film Deepwater Horizon is based on the events from the real life Deepwater Horizon rig.
When the movie starts off we get to know a little bit about some of the key players in this horrific disaster.
We meet Mike William (Wahlberg) and his wife Felicia (Hudson). Together they have a young daughter.
It would appear that the couple is used to Mike's unusual job and schedule. He spends a few weeks away from his family working on the rig, and a week or two at home before heading back to the rig. The rig is in the middle of the ocean so it's not like Mike can come home to dinner every night.
We also get to meet one of the newest employees of Deepwater Horizon, young Andrea Fleytas (Rodriguez). She drives a "muscle car" which is clearly very important to her.
Once aboard the rig we are introduced to elder statesmen on the rig, Mr. Jimmy (Russel). We also meet a not-so-nice, sneaky and "all about the money" BP executive Donal Vidrine (Malkovich).
Life aboard the rig seems to be going as usual, but there is concern that corporate cut some corners in hopes of getting everything up and running quickly. For that reason some testing was done to ensure that everything was in working order.
Things seemed to be going OK until mud, water and oil backed up in the pipes, forcing it to explode on to the rig. Employees scrambled to stop the back flow, but they are too late. The debris causes an explosion leaving the Deepwater Horizon a blaze.
Now it's a race against time and the elements to save the crew of Deepwater Horizon before it's too late. Stopping the leaking oil is not even an option at this point. People's lives are in danger.
Who will survive? I can't ask what happens next because if you are familiar with the real life outcome, you know what happens next.
Look for Deepwater Horizon where ever movies are sold. You can also download it (Digital Download) on iTunes and Google Play.
There are A LOT of bonus features with this film. A vast majority of them pertain to the behind the scenes stuff which I found to be very interesting. They show you how specific scenes were filmed as well as how they created the rig. It looks so real but it's all just a movie set. I was very impressed.
- "Beyond the Horizon" Hour-Long Five-Part Series
- "Captain of the Rig: Peter Berg" Featurette
- "The Fury of the Rig" Featurette
- "Deepwater Surveillance" Featurette
- "Work Like An American" Tributes
- "The Fury of the Rig" Featurette
- "Deepwater Surveillance" Featurette
- "Work Like an American" Tributes
The Fury of the Rig and Deepwater Surveillance are the best bonus features to watch if you want a good look at the behind the scenes stuff. It's very fascinating and I would recommend watching them – if not all the bonus features.
Most people, myself included, are familiar with the aftermath of the oil spill, but we don't really know what it was like to be on the rig as it was spitting out oil and a towering inferno. This film gives you a better understanding and appreciation for the events that happened, the heroes and the lives that were lost.
Kudos to John Malkovich for making himself the most unlikable character in the film. Don't get me wrong – his acting was great. It's just that his character was a very unlikable person. He was more concerned with the big bucks then the safety of the people on the rig and the rig it's self.
Mark Walhberg pulled off another great role. I love how Walhberg can play silly characters (The Other Guys) and totally serious ones like in Deepwater Horizon. He's a very versatile actor.
Overall I was pleased with the film. It had action. It had excitement. It had incredible special effects. It also kept me on the edge of my seat, not knowing if/when anyone was going to get off the rig before it was too late.
For more information you can visit the film's official website as well as it's social media pages – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The film's official hashtag is #DeepwaterHorizonMovie.
Below if the film's trailer for your entertainment.

The Republic of Moldova is an Eastern European country with a population of 3.5 million and a life expectancy at birth of 67 years (males) and 75 years (females). Moldova has gone through a difficult path with the economic transition following the fall of the Iron Curtain; initially, the health status of the Moldovan population fell before picking up again due to policies that directly targeted the most disadvantaged. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Health, the introduction of the mandatory health insurance (MHI) in 2004, combined with the re-orientation to primary care from a pre-1990 hospital-centric system, has helped to increase access to crucial health services.

With their ability to banish fat, lasers have recently become popular with celebrities, supermodels, and life-size cardboard cutouts worried about their waistlines. Craft a slim silhouette with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $99 for one LipoLaser session (a $300 value)
- $199 for three LipoLaser sessions (an $850 value)
Yolo-certified clinics employ noninvasive LipoLaser technology to target and contour problem areas, such as the abdomen, arms, or thighs. The laser penetrates down to the fat cells, where it disrupts their membranes, causing them to release their contents into the body. Most clients report a slight warming sensation during the 20-minute treatment. The appointment also includes a goal-setting consultation, before and after pictures and measurements, and a 10-minute exercise session on a whole-body vibration platform to help flush the release of fat-cell contents from the body.
Yolo Medical
Yolo Medical Inc. develops and manufactures noninvasive aesthetic medical equipment for use by certified spas and clinics. The company's namesake Yolo Curve laser combines both visible and infrared laser light to stimulate inch loss, reduce joint pain, and service Troll dolls' belly diamonds. Continuing outside the realm of eyesight, a Digital Pulse Analyzer uses pulse waves to detect early warning signs of cardiovascular disease, and the Whole Body Vibration Platform stimulates rapid-fire muscle contractions to quickly strengthen bodies. Following the completion of any of Yolo Medical Inc.'s treatments, its proprietary Nutraceuticals supplements work to continue the process of weight loss and detoxification.

5.0 stars 5 totalReview Brad Lancaster
Posted by J. Grace
We first worked with Mr. Lancaster and had an excellent experience updating our wills when we moved here in 2013. When my husband suddenly died in 2015, I came to greatly appreciate Mr. Lancaster's skill and expertise that had ensured all of our affairs were in order and hugely simplified managing the estate. Mr. Lancaster has handled all of our affairs with professional skill and sincere personal concern. I have felt completely safe and confident relying on his knowledge and competence to guide and help us through this very difficult time. Mr. Lancaster shows he truly cares about my families' welfare and my well being. I recently brought my 81 year old Mother to Mr. Lancaster to update her will. He treated her with dignity, respect, and care. He was careful to ensure she truly understood every aspect of her most important documents.
Having worked with other personal attorneys, I can attest that Mr. Lancaster is completely transparent about his billing and charges. His prices are very reasonable for the outstanding, caring, professional service he provides.

Was very helpful with my situation. he was able to help get things organized and also helped me understand what was going to happen with my case.

My husband and I went to Brad for two reasons. The first was to get assistance with the estate of my late mother-in-law. The estate is in the form of shared titled to her house between siblings. The problem is that the estate is not being settled and the house is falling apart. There are a lot of intricacies in the situation. Brad did his absolute best to mediate and generate action, unfortunately unsucessfully as the other sibs are non-responsive. Brad was upfront and honest with us that trying to continue action to get the estate settled, would be vastly costly and wouldn't happen in our lifetime (I'm terminally ill). He could have continued just to collect his fee. But no, he told us what we didn't particularly want to hear, but what we needed to.
We also saw Brad to get our end of life documents (DPOAs, Directives to Physicians, and wills) prepared. He made sure that we understood all the in and outs of each document and made sure we knew what we wanted before committing it all to legal documents.
In both instances, one of the main goals of Brad's was to make sure we understood everything.
Kim, Brad's wife and paralegal, is wonderful too. And they have a treasure named Sophia, their dog, who will make you smile in spite of yourself.
My only bit of dismay was in being charged for two telephone calls - one to cancel an appt as I was ill, and the second to double-check the time of an appt. I figure that's part of 'doing business' but then again, I can understand the practice in order to avoid people calling and taking up other-wise productive time.
I also very much liked the professional but at the same time, laid back atmosphere of the office. Brad didn't wear a suit and so I didn't feel I had to dress up to visit. I appreciate both facts very much. It felt very 'human.'
Posted by Katarina
Retaining Brad Lancaster as our business attorney was one of the best decisions we made when we opened our small business over ten years ago. Brad's genuine concern over our success and his commitment to us has been incredibly important over the years. Brad's advise and guidance has played a critical role in not only building a smart business structure but whenever we've faced challenging decisions along the way. Brad is always looking out for us and works effectively to minimize our potential liability.
Posted by Wendy
I think Brad is not only an excellent lawyer but also a very decent and honest human being. From the very first time I met Brad and his wife, Kim, I felt welcomed and cared about. That feeling continued throughout the entire year I worked with them. Even though our business relationship ended, our friendship continues to this day! I was well served by this very capable and friendly team.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
It's Friday, everyone! And that means another Primal Blueprint Real Life Story from a Mark's Daily Apple reader. If you have your own success story and would like to share it with me and the Mark's Daily Apple community please contact me here. I'll continue to publish these each Friday as long as they keep coming in. Thank you for reading!
As a youngster growing up in Sydney, Australia, I had asthma that really limited what I could do. My mind wanted to do active sporty things, but physically I couldn't follow through and as a result, was pretty unfit (and overweight).
My mum was a good healthy cook and we spent lots of time outdoors, but I would sneak lollies, chocolate, and chips when I could. It wasn't emotional eating – I just loved the flavours and textures. There was also peer pressure about buying "the cool food" (aka junk) for lunch at school and then University.
Flash forward a couple of decades and I was still overweight and on the roller-coaster ride of fad diets that I would follow for a while, then fail as they left me starving and weak. I wanted to lose weight and be healthy, but I didn't want to suffer so much. To me, mental health is an important part of physical health, and starving myself on restrictive "diets" left me mentally unhealthy. I found this unsustainable.
So what did I do? I exercised more (it helped that I found an asthma medication that worked). I was living in California now and really got into long distance cycling – which was great for being able to eat more. But again, this was unsustainable as work and other hobbies were bound to cut short my cycling hours! When I moved back home to Australia, the small town I moved to didn't have much in the way of bike routes (or hills!) but they did have a triathlon club. So that's what I took up next! Problem was, on a bike your weight is more forgiving than running. So I suffered. I was injured, I was tired, and I was slow.
I followed the conventional wisdom of high carb, low fat. I was still injured, tired, and slow. And it never seemed to get any easier, no matter how much I tried or trained. But I was also stubborn, so I kept going as I did actually enjoy the challenge. I followed the conventional wisdom of carb loading before a race and getting energy gels and sports drinks during. And I still suffered. I always had a stomach upset of some sort that began on the bike and manifested as multiple toilet stops on the run. After four half Ironman and four full Ironman triathlons, I finally started to ask some QUESTIONS rather than what I had been doing all these years – telling myself it was ME that had failed in some way. For so long I had followed CW around a "healthy diet" and what I needed to eat to do sports. And they weren't working for me!!
My first port of call was a triathlon Internet community, where someone mentioned fructose intolerance. Being the scientist I am, I set up an n=1 study of different sugar solutions and tested myself. Lo and behold, fructose sent me to the bathroom. But I wasn't done. I kept exploring the Internet around fructose, food issues, and exercise, and stumbled across Mark's Daily Apple. THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED.
I read and read and read everything I could on the website that day (at work). And I started. Then and there. From the very next meal. I was so convinced that this had validity that I knew I needed to act straight away. I didn't want to end up in that corner of "paralysis by analysis" or needing to know EVERYthing before I did ANYthing. I bought The Primal Blueprint book and read it cover to cover. Twice. I tweaked what I had been doing since that first day. I read more, and I tweaked more. I then started challenging my own long held beliefs (brainwashing) around the conventional wisdom of carbs for life and for sports.
I read some more and came across the concept of low carb/ketogenic diets for sports. The ketogenic concept seemed more suited to long endurance type efforts, which was perfect for me. The shortest race I do is six and a half hours, so I was hooked. I believed all my problems with race-day stomach issues were to be blamed on carbs – so if I could burn fat (and I had plenty to spare!) for fuel and avoid ingesting carbs, I could feel awesome! Talk about being excited!
So I followed a very low carb version of the PB, including copious amounts of dairy. I spoke to a sports nutritionist who has done work around fat adaptation in cyclists and he was on board. In fact, he thought I could do my next triathlon (a six hour event) totally carb-free if I was well enough adapted. I had three months to become keto-adapted before the race – and I was going to need those three months for some pretty decent training too. When I started, I was a bit skeptical and always carried carb gels on my training rides and runs. But the amazing thing was I could now head out for a four-hour ride or a three-hour run and not need any calories. I was AMAZED!! My training was going better than ever and I was recovering from my long workouts better. I wasn't sore for days after a run, so I could back up sooner with another quality workout.
However, I remained skeptical that I could complete a six and a half hour race without ingesting calories, so I raced carrying a flask of "back-up" carbs for when I hit the wall. But I never did. I had steady energy and mental clarity through the whole event – something I have never experienced before. And, all this was on electrolytes and water for six and a half hours of effort.
This event really cemented in my mind that I was almost in a place where I had found an eating style that works for MY body. I explored more experts online, including listening to podcasts from Ben Greenfield, Abel James, Jonathon Bailor, Stephen Phinney, and Jeff Volek. I also found an awesome book by Dean Dwyer called Make Shi(f)t Happen. These sorts of folks really helped me explore ways to tweak MY lifestyle in conjunction with all the great info and MDA.
One of the things I did read on a bunch of websites were all the folks who said the weight literally fell off them when they started eating this way. I haven't had those spectacular results. But I am slowly and steadily losing fat and getting stronger. So even though the weight isn't falling off me, I'm getting better every day.
After Christmas I noticed I seemed to have stalled in any weight loss. So I began tweaking some more and using the PB as just that – a blueprint that could be moulded to suit my individual body. I made the decision to cut out dairy. It was a biggie for me, as I had come to rely on cheese and cream as a source of fat. I started to again lose small amounts of weight each week. My skin improved, as did my allergies and nose stuffiness. Coconut cream became my "go to" for creaminess, as well as cooking in coconut oil or duck fat.
My last tweak (care of MDA) was a version of Bulletproof coffee. The ingredients in this are a particular type of coffee, with butter and MCT oil. Well, I started just by blending some MCT oil in my regular coffee in the mornings. UNBELIEVABLE. I have really noticed more clarity and sharpness in my mind during the day and don't crave carby things or rely on caffeine to get me though the workday.
I'm still not going to be winning any races. Frankly, I'm not much faster than I was. But my lack of speed really comes down to the amount of training I can do within all the other parts of my life. So what are the benefits then? I FEEL AWESOME!! My health has improved. I ENJOY my training and events more. I DON'T SUFFER from stomach problems or energy ups and downs during these events or in everyday life. I don't suffer muscle soreness for days after a strenuous workout. I appreciate more the fitness and health that has come from my eating shift. And I'M NOT CONSTANTLY HUNGRY!!
So what's a typical day for me? (While training 9-13 hours a week and an 8-5 job):
I also make myself some treats on long training weekends that consist of coconut oil, almond butter, cocoa, and desiccated coconut, frozen in ice cube trays. Talk about YUM!
I bought myself a blood ketone meter and have done a lot of measurements to see how different foods/volumes affect my ketosis. More than around 200g protein or two alcoholic drinks sets me down to around 0.5mmol. I normally sit around 1.5-2 mmol since giving up the dairy. That's probably the only reason I monitor how much meat I consume. I do try and keep my carbs down below 40g/day, but I don't measure – just eat small amounts and don't go silly on the nuts! No starchy vegetables and absolutely no grains, sugars, or legumes.
So round two of ketogenic racing was another long triathlon – this time there were going to be some serious hills in the bike part. Since exploring MCT oil as a supplement on a normal day and listening to folks like Ben Greenfield (an ironman triathlete), I started blending some MCT oil into some amino acids and electrolytes for my planned race nutrition. My training and recovery improved EVEN MORE. My mood and mental clarity improved EVEN MORE. So I went into this race with this plan:
Not your typical carb loading and carb fest that is usually long distance triathlon!
So how did I go?
I had some serious mechanical problems towards the end of the bike leg, and ended up being out there for around 40min longer than I planned. I only consumed less than half of the MCT oil/aminos that I had packed. BUT IT WAS AWESOME!! I felt great though the swim, strong and consistent through the bike (serious hills and long flats), and set a personal best (PB) for the run leg. Even though I had problems on the bike, my mental state was so much clearer and positive than any race I had previously done. Seven hours and 40 minutes on essentially just a few electrolytes.
And here's the kicker: all those foods I thought I craved over the last few months? I let myself have them over the following couple of days – bread, milk, butter, cake, and chocolate. And guess what happened? I felt like crap. My skin and eyes were itchy, my face broke out in zits, my stomach was upset, I was bloated, had a headache, and puffed up 4kg in 3 days! And the best part? Nothing tasted good or gave me any satisfaction to eat. I won't be doing that again!
So what are the biggest lessons I learned?
1. PB = Primal Blueprint. AND PB = Personal Best. BE YOURS!!
2. There is no one answer. Read, re-read, and experiment on yourself. Constantly tweak what you do. Dean Dwyer (in Make Shi(f)t Happen) talks about thinking in Beta (i.e., constantly tweaking yourself like multiple releases of a computer program) and not following prescriptions. Too many "solutions" out there just tell you what to do. Places like Mark's Daily Apple and PB encourage exploration as to WHY you might want to try things and how to uncover what will work best for you. And that really sets them aside from all the CW out there.
And that's my story. Thanks for reading, and all the best!

Great story! I did my first oly distance tri last year. I switched from a SAD to paleo diet halfway through and had a similar experience.
Great job!
BTW, judging by the before and after pics, the scale is being very deceptive. You have lost a LOT of fat, so if your weight hasn't gone down much, you have just been gaining muscle. As far as I'm concerned, replacing fat with muscle is even better than just losing the fat.
Yes, I agree with what Jim said. You may not have seen a lot of change on the scale but you look very different, much leaner in the After pic. Plus you FEEL better and aren't hungry all the time. Way to go!
Cath, Do you get to pick you #'s for each race? If not, wow!
You look happy and content.
More blessings are headed you way. Keep doing what you are doing.
A great resource you may want to look into for triathlon training while on a primal/paleo diet is Brian MacKenzie's Power, Speed, Endurance.
Congratulations! As an athlete myself (though not an endurance athlete), I am always interested to hear about how athletes tweaked the PB to suit them. Could you describe what kind of tweaks you made/why you decided to make them? Thanks!
Cath great story. Couldn't agree more with your ending of the story, and testing on yourself till you figure out what works. Makes all the difference in the world.
Very cool story. Always interesting to see how a primal-style diet affects performance and what tweaks are made to address individual needs/preferences.
Well done Cate! Any person who has the tenacity to race for these many hours deserves a bow; and this is coming from an ex paratrooper.
By the way, I too stick to egg yolks and throw away the whites; a real shame since free range eggs are expensive, but it's better then paying the consequences. Any reason you don't eat the egg whites?
why do you throw away the whites?
Interesting you say Hashimotos cant be cured. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and it was that diagnosis which made me totally over haul my health and now every time I see my thyroid consultant he shakes his head in disbelief and says I cant find anything wrong with you 🙂
I was focussing on getting my fat intake up, but without really increasing my protein intake – and egg whites are pure protein!
Yep, good comment about the protein in the whites. At th end of the day, it might not have made much difference. But since I wasn't trying to increase my protein, I was looking at fat/protein sources that came with additional nutritional benefits. And I love the yolks much more than the whites! I guess it's a moot point now though, as I have eliminated the eggs altogether. I do miss them though.
Wow, even your face seems thinnner!
(but that menu looks a little nut-heavy. Nuts can stall weight loss…)
hi, Cath,
you seem to get a little more tanned too.
you seems to snack often & eat a lot of nuts. is it for your heavy training?
(i'm not an athlete, but prefer to exercise while fasting)
Wow Cath, well done on your transformation but also for your determination to make it work for you and your sport. As others have said, the scales might not show much change but those photos do!
Great and inspiring story. I love Fridays so hard.
Love it! Well done. And it's great you found a nutritionist that was on board. Such a great resource.
I too love the "not one size fits all" approach of MDA. Here's some ideas, now go and figure out what works for you!
Congratulations Cath! A great story!
Great inspirational story and cool lessons learned. Thanks for writing that up for everyone!
Thinking in Beta – Yessss! I haven't heard it put this way but it's the constant tweaking to get better results that is the fun part of going Primal. I think it's fun anyway. Good on ya Cath!
Excellent work Cath!
I agree with another comment–I also think you changed your body composition rather dramatically. Your face and body have a much nicer shape and you look plain healthier in the right photo. Good job!
Thanks Cath, such an interesting story. My friends husband is a carb-loading long distance cyclist, who is scared to stop riding in case he puts on weight like his friends. The fact that you feel better is the most important thing, although judging by your photos, your body composition has really changed. Well done!
Me too! Aussie aussie aussie !!!!!!!!!! So inspiring….and.you look sooooooo happy 🙂
Thanks Cathy, this is a great story. As another fructose reacting Aussie, how have you had to adapt PB to keep you healthy? I find honey, cauliflower, cabbage, too much avocado, dates……….. all problematic for me. Has your intolerance settled down over time and become less obvious?
You do indeed look much leaner, fitter and healthier in the "after" photo. But more than that – you look happier! Well done.
You look more athletic and fit. I think whatever you are doing, is working. Congrats on not giving up and finding what works best.
Great share, great story, great motivation, wow.
Congratulations! I think that we Primal Blueprinters' even fail to recognize the simplicity of food in terms of maximizing potential. Introduce refining by human processing that makes the food undistinguishable to our bodies, and disease occurs. Really quite simple; we just need to train our palettes to forgoe these poor food choices that we were raised to love. I see a monumental shift in dietary practices continuing long into the future.
amazing story, and so inspirational! and another beautiful example that health and happiness come in all sizes. you go!
Great story Cath. You you check out some of the discussions from Peter Attia (Eatingacademy.com) if you haven't already. He writes some really interesting posts on Ketogenic long distance training. Peter has been referenced on MDA many times.
Hi, Sarah, thanks for sharing your experience and the link. That's helpful, and really interesting how abrupt low carb can trigger low thyroid. I've tried carb re feeds in the past, but often felt icky because my diabetic metabolism doesn't handle the carbs well. So, I focus on sleep And exercise.
I mean Susanne!
What a cool story! Very inspiring!
I'm a long distance triathlete too, i'd love to know how you carry the MCT oil and nut butters for your training rides/runs and on race day? I'd love to try this.
It's pretty easy actually! I just add the MCT oil to the (flavoured) amino acids in my drink bottle, and shake! Just before I have a sip I give it a quick shake and then slurp away!
As for the nut butter, a company called Artisana (I think) do various nut butters in sachets that look like gel sachets. Almond, cashew, macadamia etc. about 180 cal in each. I buy from iherb as they ship to Aus. But you can probably get them a bunch more places
Thanks so much for replying. Never thought to put the oil in my drinks bottle. I don't have MCT but might try it with coconut oil on my long ride this weekend. How much would you add to 600ml?
I'm in the UAE so I'll try iherb to see if they deliver here. I've seen those sachets when I've been in the US, but never here. Another great tip, thanks so much!
Coconut oil is usually liquid here (I'm in Abu Dhabi and even when we start cycling at 5am it's already 35 degrees!), so I think it would work. If i do any races in cold climates it would be a different story of course. I shall look into buying some MCT online. Thanks so much for the tips, really excited to try this now!
Great story Cath. Can you share your recipe for the treast you make with the coconut oil, almond butter, cocoa, and desiccated coconut? Thanks.
Great story Cath. Can you share your treat recipe with the coconut oil, almond butter, cocoa, and desiccated coconut? Sounds great! Thanks.
Simple, and pretty tasty!
Basically, 1 tbsp almond butter, 1 tbsp coconut oil (you might have to melt it if it's cold and solid), 1 tsp cocoa, dessicated coconut to taste (maybe 2 tbsp?). Sometimes I add a bit of vanilla essence or something. You can also dissolve some sort of sweetener if you like in a little water and add that. I then spoon into ice cube trays and freeze. In around 10 mins you have pretty good imitation chocolate! But be warned…… you can't stop a 1!
Great story Cath. Can you share your treat recipe with the coconut oil, almond butter, cocoa, and desiccated coconut? Thanks!
Great to hear your story. I'm also a long distance triathlete. I've changed my diet too and look forward to my first races next year as a fat adapted athlete. Success from like minded is awesome 🙂
Your journey to find what worked sounds a good deal like mine. I've never felt so good during ultramarathons, it's like I don't even HAVE a stomach, no more sloshing, bloating, nausea.
Like you I'm not yet faster, so am still experimenting with carb use during a race.
My stomach literally growls after about 3 hours and I get absolutley, distratctingly ravenous. Though my energy seems steady I always eat some sweet potato puree or similar. I also find I need protein and/or amino acids if I am running 50 miles or further, otherwise my legs start to cramp or ache severely.
Interesting. I have evolved my long race nutrition plan somewhat, and in my latest ironman, I used mashed sweet potato (mashed with oil and salt) on the bike, with around 50cal/hr of maltodextrin.
I'm currently training for my first ultra (a 100km trail run) and like you, keeping my amino acids topped up (shots at 25km checkpoints) and half a sandwich with almond butter and jam. Keeps the stomach growls at bay, and my muscles definately feel better.
All the best!
Great story. I just switch to primal from vegan 1/3 way into marathon training. i'm in ketosis but haven't been performing as well as I was before the switch. It sounds like I need time to adapt and with 2 months left before the marathon, it sounds like I have time to adapt as well. Thank you very much for sharing.
