19 out of 20. I never saw that first toy growing up. One of the questions was a little futuristic for the baby boomers. Our remote was never attached to the tv, there were no remotes when we were kids. Just knobs.
because people like to be successful. It was like going down memory lane for me as they had many items we don't see anymore on a day to day basis.
I got 18 out of 20. I was born in the 1990s. Why do they make these quizzes ridiculously easy? There were only two that I thought were actually definitively from the Boomers: the toy and the obscure commercial.
19 for me too. Got the first one wrong. Never heard of that and did not notice the name on it like other observant quiz takers here
Thanks for sharing.......lots of memories!!I still have my skates(with key)!
I did get 19. That first one I had no idea and a couple others were good guesses. We lived on the farm and never got milk from the milk man but knew most in the city did. Thanks for the post!
Only 17. I didn't know about the toy gun and 2 others.
19/20. I totally didn't see the name on that gun! I had to go back and look when someone said that.
This article tells numbers of babies born between 1946 till 1964 which are all considered "The Baby Boomers". It is a large span so you may not know all the things mentioned or pictured on the quiz.
I, too, got 19/20. Didn't know the toy gun thingie. The rest were a hoot!
I got 17 out of 20. There were a few that were before my time.
Our phone number from 50 years ago was ED6 5341. If we met today, I'd have to ask you for your name again in 5 minutes. Go figure!! The short term memory is slowly going...
I can visualize him with the phone and you laughing in the background.
We had a harvest gold rotary phone attached to the wall in the kitchen. My grandparents had a older style black phone which sat on a shelf in a hallway near the dining room. The shelf was actually part of a built in cove in the wall. It had a more narrow storage space as well below where the phone was found. It was for the phonebook.
I remember my grandparents phone number for some reason. It started with letters. It was LA 1- 0667. LA did not stand for Los Angeles. They lived in Dallas, Texas and I have no idea what the LA stood for. Maybe it was a neighborhood abbreviation.
I also remember that there were pieces of furniture made for the desk style phones. There was a raised desk area to hold the phone. It was small. Then there was a chair connected where you could sit down to make or receive your call. I have not seen one of those in an antique store in a long time.
Here is pic of one.
someone just posted a youtube of a young boy trying to make a call from a phone with a rotary dial with no success.
When I was teaching I had a wall phone in my room, not a rotary dial, but the old fashioned one. I taught my little ones to answer the phone. It was a job on our job chart. One day a little boy went to answer the phone and picked up the receiver and stared at it. Then he put it to his ear, heard the person on the other end. Took the receiver away from his ear, held it in front of his face and tried to talk into the same place he listened from. Me being the teacher I am was laughing so hard I couldn't help him for at least a minute. Blame it on cell phones.
I scored 20, but I had to guess on the first one. Never saw that toy.
Got 19 of 20
Missed the space program one...
My sister kept a notebook of Burma Shave signs when we traveled.
I also remember SEE ROCK CITY and Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco painted on barns.
I guessed on the gun name based on what was catchy and simple, I guessed on the attached remote (never had a remote until everyone did), and I missed the food one. I thought about hitting all, but I thought, "We didn't have tv dinners all the time. They were a rare treat!" Funny how the absolutely everyday things become the forgotten and barely remembered things.
20/20. I didnt know #1, but I guessed. The percolator looked more like an espresso maker to me.
The first one wasn't familiar to me. I just guessed about the remote. We never had one attached either.
18- I missed the question about space gun and Burma Shave.
I found a Burma Shave TV ad: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L-sCqIxvfx4
I only got 18. Im really bad at remembering the names of NASA missions and our phone was big and black and on a table, definitely not the wall.
I did not recognize the gun, and I did not recall the Burma-Shave commercial.
I had fun taking the quiz, thank you for posting this !
20/20 but I guessed on the first one 😉
I answered 19 out of 20 correct. I put TV dinners for food instead of all of the above. Some I guessed. Fun trip down memory lane!
He talked about them often. They had rhyming signs posted by the side of the rode. The first sign would be one stanza, then the next would be another stanza. The advertisement was a series of signs that you read as you drove along back when cars traveled more slowly.
In our travels when I was a child we would see similar ones for other products once in a great while.
My church would put them out for events at our church as we had a long entry drive. I could not believe it when I saw them the first time. It was like my Dad was blessing our choice for a church after I remarried.
Here is an example
I got 17. I never experienced an air raid drill, saw a skate key or knew about Berma Shave. I guessed at the first one. I was at the end of the boomers though.
20 out of 20....but I did have to guess on a few!
20, but I cheated on Number 1! Thanks, Renea.
20, without cheating😂😂😂
You are very observant not a cheater. Good for you. That is the one I missed.
20 out of 20. I have never seen the first toy either but the name was printed on the gun! Yeah, I'll cheat if I can. .
And my rotary phone was a party line!
19 out of 20. I never saw that first toy growing up. One of the questions was a little futuristic for the baby boomers. Our remote was never attached to the tv, there were no remotes when we were kids. Just knobs.
Let us know how you did. I got 19 out of 20 correct. It is fun and will take you down memory lane.

By Brian Sherman
"Work smarter, not harder," is a refrain most everyone has heard, but unless there's someone telling the how, or a manual showing them how to accomplish that goal, many will keep repeating their usual activities with little deviation. Process improvements should be a continual process with every business, though change often takes place only when a company or its employees encounter problems or respond to outside forces.
Of course, in the IT industry, change is a part of the everyday activities. As innovation and customer needs continue to grow at breakneck speed, solution providers have to adapt their business practices just as fast (if not faster) to stay ahead of their competition.
Consider the transformation that's taken place in the IT channel over the past decade, between the introduction of cloud and managed services to the advances in IT security and mobility. Those changes go much deeper than the portfolio each solution provider manages, requiring a shift in the way they do business. With a greater focus on recurring revenue, process efficiency is more important than ever.
To create that "well-oiled machine," solution providers often seek the help of industry associations and experienced IT channel coaches, as well as vendor and distribution partners. Access to industry best practices and tools that can help them improve a variety of their business practices is invaluable, but the key to success is making sure every employee is on board.

They should be receiving your applause
I wanted to thank Julie Hooker and her students, Michaela Berglund and Laney Marsella, for their kind words in last Wednesday's paper.
I just needed to clarify who gave them the tickets, brought the (Ailey II) performance to town and worked equally as hard to make the evening happen.
Park City Performing Arts Foundation (PCPAF) operates with a committed volunteer board that guides all the policies of the organization, including the subsidizing of tickets (for all 15 years we have been operating), to underserved members of the community. As the director, I have the joy of offering those tickets to different groups, during different times of the year, but the board authorizes that decision and supports it. This year we have a grant from the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Family Foundation to help us, in part, fund those tickets.
When the students said I made the event "run like butter," nothing could have been farther from the truth., but I'm glad it appeared that way. Jim makes the lights spectacular, ditto Curt with the sound. Jenny keeps the performers fed and transported and happy with their special requests. Kate makes certain we all get paid. Jaimie and Billy and Danny sell the tickets and find lost tickets and re-seat the group that went from four up to 12 and then down to six. And they all do a bunch of really unglamorous stuff no one thinks about needing done. They don't ever want to be on stage. I know this because, from time to time, I try to force them out there and they make me promise to never do that again. But they should be out there receiving your applause.
Our donors, year round, write checks to support all of efforts, from the programming at the Eccles Center and Deer Valley to the healthy snacks for our after-school free literacy tutoring center, the Mega Genius Supply Store and IQ HQ (where all those same staff members double as tutors). Our donors are folks who live in Park City, for the most part, and are faced with a myriad of choices where to contribute. We are honored to be one of their choices.
Our volunteer base, more than 100 strong now — those folks who give you the programs, find your seat and read to kids at Mega Genius, even help them with math — those are the real heroes of our organization.
So the next time you see me squinting in the spotlight (that thing always blinds me), look a little deeper onto the darkened stage. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of folks in the wings.
I do love my job. I love working with performers and, even more, with students. I love seeing so many happy faces at the end of the evening. And I love how the arts never fail to open us up, a bit at time, to see with new eyes.
Thank you all for being there on the Opening Night of our 15th year. The highlight of my evening was to witness your delight in seeing the spectacular show.
Teri Orr is the director of the Park City Performing Arts Foundation, which provides programming for the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Center for the Performing Arts.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
In this session:
Observing Student Reasoning and Proof
Exploring Reasoning and Proof
Defining Reasoning and Proof
Applying Reasoning and Proof
Evaluating Reasoning and Proof
In the previous sessions, we have studied the Communication and Problem Solving Standards. In this session, we will examine Reasoning and Proof.
"Reasoning and proof are not special activities reserved for special times or special topics in the curriculum but should be a natural, ongoing part of classroom discussions, no matter what topic is being studied. In mathematically productive classroom environments, students should expect to explain and justify their conclusions. When questions such as, What are you doing? or Why does that make sense? are the norm in a mathematics classroom, students are able to clarify their thinking, to learn new ways to look at and think about situations, and to develop standards for high-quality mathematical reasoning." (NCTM, 2000, p. 342.)
Mathematics is often referred to as a "sense-making" endeavor. A key way in which we can understand this sense-making capacity is to consider the how mathematics prompts us to use ideas, symbols and procedures to make conjectures, and prove, or disprove, them using deductive reasoning. In fact, the notion of reasoning about a problem situation underlies all of mathematics; even the algorithms encountered in the earliest grades had to be derived and proven. Often however, we think of these aspects, particularly proof, as something apart, perhaps only a key part of the Geometry curriculum, or advanced topics, but less emphasized in other classes. In this session we will show how teaching and learning throughout all high school mathematics topics can benefit from the application of the reasoning and proof standard. When students and teachers recognize these ideas as fundamental to mathematics their skill and power in using this subject increases.
Learning Objectives
This session shows how to help students:
NCTM Reasoning and Proof Standard
Instructional programs . . . should enable all students to --

19 April 2012 at 4.21pm | Comment on this article
ROH2's OperaShots - our annual opportunity for established musicians and writers to work in opera for the first time - kicks off tomorrow. The two new works include a gripping, bloody tale from The Divine Comedy's Neil Hannon.
Sevastopol is a compact chamber opera in which the young Leo Tolstoy travels to the front line of the Crimean War. The opera tracks Tolstoy's journey through Sevastopol to the most extreme reaches of the battlefield, caked in mud and blood. The various incidents and conversations in the show are based on the writer's vivid reports from the conflict.
The intricate sets and costumes for Sevastopol were created by Emma Bailey, one of the winners of the Linbury Prize 2011. Emma is also designing for the other new work on the OperaShots double bill, Graham Fitkin's Home.

Major Section: DOCUMENTATION
The value of the ACL2 constant
*terminal-markup-table* is an association
list pairing markup keys with strings, to be used for printing to the
terminal. See markup for a description of the ACL2 markup language.
The entries in
*terminal-markup-table* are of the form
(key . fmt-string)where
key is one of the doc-string tilde directives
(see markup), and
fmt-string is a string as expected by the
ACL2 printing function
fmt. The system arranges that for any
arg, when an expression ~key[arg] is encountered by the
documentation printer,
fmt will print
fmt-string in the
association list where
#\a is bound to
arg and
#\A is
bound to the result of applying the function
string-upcase to
It is possible to implement tools in ACL2 for printing documentation
to other than the terminal. In fact, such tools exist for Texinfo
and for HTML. For now, discussion of this capability is beyond the
scope of the present topic.

This module defines the notion of filters and filter combinators for processing XML documents.
These XML transformation combinators are described in the paper ``Haskell and XML: Generic Combinators or Type-Based Translation?'' Malcolm Wallace and Colin Runciman, Proceedings ICFP'99.
|The content filter type.
|All document transformations are content filters. A filter takes a single XML Content value and returns a sequence of Content values, possibly empty.
|Simple filters.
|Selection filters.
|In the algebra of combinators, none is the zero, and keep the identity. (They have a more general type than just CFilter.)
|Throw away current node, keep just the (unprocessed) children.
|Process children using specified filters.
|Select the n'th positional result of a filter.
|Predicate filters.
|These filters either keep or throw away some content based on a simple test. For instance, elm keeps only a tagged element, txt keeps only non-element text, tag keeps only an element with the named tag, attr keeps only an element with the named attribute, attrval keeps only an element with the given attribute value, tagWith keeps only an element whose tag name satisfies the given predicate.
|Search filters.
|For a mandatory attribute field, find key cont looks up the value of the attribute name key, and applies the continuation cont to the value.
|When an attribute field may be absent, use iffind key yes no to lookup its value. If the attribute is absent, it acts as the no filter, otherwise it applies the yes filter.
|ifTxt yes no processes any textual content with the yes filter, but otherwise is the same as the no filter.
|Filter combinators
|Basic combinators.
|Sequential (Irish,backwards) composition
|Binary parallel composition. Each filter uses a copy of the input, rather than one filter using the result of the other. (Has a more general type than just CFilter.)
|Glue a list of filters together. (A list version of union; also has a more general type than just CFilter.)
|A special form of filter composition where the second filter works over the same data as the first, but also uses the first's result.
|Directional choice: in f |>| g give g-productions only if no f-productions
|Pruning: in f with g, keep only those f-productions which have at least one g-production
|Pruning: in f without g, keep only those f-productions which have no g-productions
|Pronounced slash, f /> g means g inside f
|Pronounced outside, f </ g means f containing g
|Join an element-matching filter with a text-only filter
|Express a list of filters like an XPath query, e.g. path [children, tag "name1", attr "attr1", children, tag "name2"] is like the XPath query /name1[@attr1]/name2.
|Recursive search.
|Recursive search has three variants: deep does a breadth-first search of the tree, deepest does a depth-first search, multi returns content at all tree-levels, even those strictly contained within results that have already been returned.
|Interior editing.
|Interior editing: f when g applies f only when the predicate g succeeds, otherwise the content is unchanged.
|Interior editing: g guards f applies f only when the predicate g succeeds, otherwise the content is discarded.
|Process CHildren In Place. The filter is applied to any children of an element content, and the element rebuilt around the results.
|Process an element In Place. The filter is applied to the element itself, and then the original element rebuilt around the results.
|Recursive application of filters: a fold-like operator. Defined as f o chip (foldXml f).
|Constructive filters.
|Build an element with the given tag name - its content is the results of the given list of filters.
|Build an element with the given name, attributes, and content.
|Build some textual content.
|Build some CDATA content.
|Rename an element tag (leaving attributes in place).
|Replace the attributes of an element (leaving tag the same).
|C-like conditionals.
These definitions provide C-like conditionals, lifted to the filter level.
The (cond ? yes : no) style in C becomes (cond ?> yes :> no) in Haskell.
|Select between the two branches of a joined conditional.
|Filters with labelled results.
|A LabelFilter is like a CFilter except that it pairs up a polymorphic value (label) with each of its results.
|Using and combining labelled filters.
|Compose a label-processing filter with a label-generating filter.
|Combine labels. Think of this as a pair-wise zip on labels. e.g. (numbered x tagged)
|Some label-generating filters.
|Number the results from 1 upwards.
|In interspersed a f b, label each result of f with the string a, except for the last one which is labelled with the string b.
|Label each element in the result with its tag name. Non-element results get an empty string label.
|Label each element in the result with the value of the named attribute. Elements without the attribute, and non-element results, get an empty string label.
|Label each textual part of the result with its text. Element results get an empty string label.
|Label each content with some information extracted from itself.
|Produced by Haddock version 2.6.0

Before Wednesday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Camden Yards, the Orioles were joined in the clubhouse by kids from the Maryland Table Tennis Center for an exhibition -- and then some competition.
Under the guidance of USA Table Tennis Hall of Famer Larry Hodges, four of the nation's top juniors played in front of the Orioles before some of the players squared off against them.
"They're having a great time," Hodges said. "They were really nervous the first 10 minutes. Now they're relaxed."
Shortstop J.J. Hardy is known throughout baseball as one of the top table tennis players, and he and vice president of baseball operations Brady Anderson went to Gaithersburg to visit the center earlier this year. They had a lesson with Hodges. Then, they competed against some of the members, and they lost.
On Wednesday, Anderson and players including right-handers Darren O'Day and Tommy Hunter, catcher Taylor Teagarden and right fielder Nick Markakis faced off with the players from the center, including Derek Nie, the 2012 U.S. Open 11-and-under singles champion. The Orioles had mixed results against their competition. The rest of the Orioles stood around the room and watched.
Manager Buck Showalter talked about the visit later Wednesday, sating that most teams try to keep the atmosphere in the clubhouse loose, and this was another way of doing so.
"I think everybody does," Showalter said. "Everything's so serious. There's so much during the game and what have you, before and after. Nobody's got a corner on it. Nobody's got a corner on competition. Not just the American League East is good, they're all good. Every clubhouse has something like that. I've had it like that for years. It's a players clubhouse. It's not mine. It's a place I want them to feel they want to come to."
Other notes
** In his first start since striking out 14 batters, Low-A Delmarva right-hander Parker Bridwell struck out seven in six innings Wednesday and allowed two runs on six hits in a no-decision.
** Showalter met with executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette to discuss September call-ups. Showalter said that players not currently on the 40-man roster are a possibility.
** The Orioles are mailing out invoices for playoff tickets to season-ticket holders Friday.
Rays: Jennings 8, Zobrist 4, Longoria 5, Myers DH, Escobar 6, Rodriguez 3, Bourgeois 9, Lobaton 2, Fuld 7; Hellickson 1.
Orioles: McLouth 7, Machado 5, Davis 3, Jones 8, Wieters 2, Markakis 9, Hardy 6, Roberts 4, Pearce DH; Chen 1.

More work from Fleet streets finest?
The Guardian added updated figures for their data map
And The Times produced a wee locator map. A little disappointing somewhat
Ho hum.
The Daily Telegraph continued with a similar line of thought from the previous day, updating with news of the UK, by how many cases, some 'suspected cases' to bulk out the graphic
But a great infographic from the Independent by Archie Bland and John Bradley, focusing on Mexico and neglecting the global spread, a trend used by the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph
Lets break the infographic down
A great map/timeline of Mexico, showing how the swine flu spreads across the country
I quite like this. The black arrow/box are a little clumsy, but the information - both written and visual is fantastic
The main focus is, what looks like, the state of the nation of April 28. District by district, we get the picture, culminating with a information box on the suspected source of the outbreak - La Gloria.
'Mexico by numbers' offers a lighter understanding, and the 'anti-viral' chart gives a global feel of who has taken the past warning of avian flu seriously
The design and typography are clean, and crisp
A joy to read?
I think so
What do you think?

Marijuana Penny Stock Trading brokers are now becoming cheaper thus making it easier for retail investors to invest their savings. It can be frustrating to find a good trading platform and depends on the type of stocks you plan to trade (whether pinks sheets or OTC), the amount of capital available to you, and how frequently you trade. Each week I receive dozens of emails inquiring about which brokerage to use but it is a challenging question to answer since it involves multiple factors.
Marijuana Penny Stocks San Francisco
3 Important Things to Look Out For
Surcharges: Depending on your broker, most add surcharges to shares less than a dollar. TradeKing charges an additional 1 cent for every share below $2 meaning that if you buy 5,000 shares it will cost you an additional $50. If you don't keep close watch on those small charges they can easily add up and eat into your potential profits. You should choose a brokerage with a flat commission rate or one that offers sizeable discounts on large orders. For instance eTrade, Charles Schwab, and TD Ameritrade all offer either flat fees or massive discounts and no hidden fees.
Stock Trading Restrictions: You should be capable of trading shares through an online platform and be wary of firms that force you to make your trades over the phone. Some brokers have restrictions in place especially with regards to issues such as short selling your penny stocks.
Volume Restrictions: The number of shares you are ideally allowed to trade is unlimited.
Different brokers have different account minimums, trade restrictions, commissions, and fees. Other important considerations include market maker routes, executions, software/trading platforms, and the quality of customer service. The greatest hindrance is not having sufficient starting capital and brokerages don't like to deal with poor traders. If you live outside the U.S. in a country such as the U.K. or Australia, finding a penny stock friendly broker will be harder.
Marijuana Penny Stocks have had a negative reputation over the years and for good reason. The vast majority (90%) of those companies represent poor investments that are not something anyone would like to put in a 401k. Most of them are simply shell companies created with a sole purpose of 'pump and dump'.
Marijuana Penny Stock Trading San Francisco
Etrade is an obvious top choice overall since it charges a flat fee and offers outstanding trading software. Currently, Etrade has a promotion where traders with accounts of over $10,000 can trade free for the first 60 days.
The minimum deposit for a cash account is $500 and $2,000 for a margin account. Discounts are offered on large orders and penny stocks have no surcharges. Great research investment tools are available and the executions are very fast.
It is best suited for traders that trade frequently due to the tiered pricing structure, meaning that it is not recommended for non-active investors since they will have to pay additional commissions. The customer service is below average when compared to others while 24/7 phone and email support is available. The basics of the stock market are taught through video lessons.
The major limitation is that it does not accept traders from some countries. It is currently Tim Sykes favorite broker.
Interactive Brokers
Interactive Brokers might have poor customer support but are still your best bet if you plan to short shares priced below $2. They have some of the best borrows for Cannabis Penny Stock Trading even though shares for shorting go fast.
Fees are levied for canceling or modifying an order and a monthly inactivity fee of $20 is charged. Unless you are a day trader, the commissions can be expensive. Interactive Brokers traders comprise mainly of massive institutions and high net worth individuals.
Unlike Etrade, Interactive Brokers accepts international traders and does not discriminate against particular countries.
TD Ameritrade
This broker has been operating for more than 40 years. In 2009, Ameritrade took over Thinkorswim. The broker has a solid trading platform with helpful charting tools as well as tutorial options to help you get started. In spite of this, their trading platform has experienced minor technical errors in the past leaving those customers that were looking to exit trades quite angry.
TD Ameritrade has no inactivity or monthly fees making it perfect for long term investors. Trade execution is great and the borrows are decent if you would like to short penny stocks. The broker offers free paper trading demo, which is great for beginners looking to test strategies and get a feel of the market.
The main drawback of TD Ameritrade is the $9.99 fee, which is much higher than that charged by other brokers. It can be argued that by charging more than the competition they are able to offer better customer support or it could be that they are greedy like the rest of the players on Wall Street.
One of the best things about SureTrader is the chance to bypass the pattern day trader rule since it is located offshore in the Bahamas. The pattern day trader rule is a rule set by the SEC that does not permit traders with accounts below $25,000 from executing over 4 or 5 day trades over a 5-day business period. This can be quite annoying and makes it hard for traders to grow their accounts fast but still protects day traders from losing money.
Recently, SureTrader's CEO, Guy Gentille was indicted by the SEC for manipulating penny stocks. It should be noted that while SureTrader was not involved in the schemes this scandal has tainted their reputation. Hearing such news about a company's CEO would make any trader feel uneasy and for this reason, trading over $2,000 with them is not recommended.
The account minimum is $500 and the charges are $4.95 for every trade for up to 1,000 shares but an ECN fee of .003 is charged for routing. The leverage currently offered is 6-1 and future plans are to increase this to 20-1.
The information pertaining to this company available on Google is very limited and while the company was established in 2000, it does not even have a Wikipedia page.
ChoiceTrade is better suited to OTC stocks and only costs $7 for every OTC trade. The broker has a volume surcharge of 1 percent for any trade over 500,000 shares. There is no account minimum but an inactivity fee of $30 is charged for every quarter.
However, this is not how it works. Patience is needed and you should paper trade for not less than 3 months. Keep in mind that you need to learn before your earn. Once you are ready, it is advisable that you start trading with not less than $2,000. Interactive Brokers and Etrade are the top 2 online penny stock brokers with great reputations.

So far as I can tell, President Donald Trump has done little to change the circumstances that led him to declare in April 2016 that the U.S. was headed for "a very massive recession." His promise of "big league" tax reform has been described by a lobbyist as "a big nothing burger."
Trump's opinion as a candidate could be of importance to you as an investor. He said last year: "It's a terrible time right now to invest in the stock market."
Hear! Hear!
If Trump was right then, his conclusion would seem to be even more valid now.
Today's cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio, or CAPE, is 29.27, as compared to an already high 25.92 in April of last year when Trump warned that the market was dangerous.
Under sane and sound conditions, the performance of individual stocks is determined by the execution of their business plans - not by political authorities or the unelected mandarins at the Federal Reserve.
As they talk about "draining the swamp" of crony capitalism, politicians should not be manipulating your stock portfolio. But they are. Or at least they are trying.
Historical Bubbles
I have made a hobby of studying past stock market manias looking for clues to help you get a better view of when the current bubble may end, and the likely consequences. As you know, we have not experienced sane and sound conditions for years.
Quite the contrary. As you are aware, we are in the midst of the biggest stock bubble in American history. In all probability, it is the biggest stock bubble in human history.
Some might suppose that the Wall Street market crash of 1929 ended the biggest bubble ever. It was the first stock mania in the era of American hegemony. The Allied victory in World War I, in conjunction with the impairment of British financial capabilities, set the stage for euphoric optimism in the Roaring Twenties.
President Herbert Hoover, who was praised by economist John Maynard Keynes as the only person to emerge from the Versailles Peace Conference with his reputation enhanced, was widely despised for causing the Great Depression. It is now forgotten that the worldwide depression supposedly started by Hoover's inability to head off the stock market collapse of 1929 was already underway as early as 1927.
Commodity-producing economies on the periphery, such as Argentina, Australia and Brazil, along with troubled European economies, notably Germany, had already sunk into depression.
The excess capacity in commodity production, stimulated by the breakdown of trade in World War I, depressed prices for producers.
This commodity depression was reflected in the crash of the London stock market, which mainly capitalized the operations of hard and soft commodity producers throughout the British Empire, and preceded Wall Street's October 1929 plunge by a month.
An Inescapable Bubble
Weakness in commodities is likely to precede the next big crash. Of course, that opens the door to trouble at almost any time. Industrial commodities, particularly iron, copper and oil, have been chronically weak.
Unlike the run-up to the 1929 crash, the current weakness in commodity prices is mainly attributable to the opening of the Chinese economy, in conjunction with the quantitative easing policies of the Fed and central banks in other advanced economies.
Those actions resulted in the lowest interest rates seen in 5,000 years! Add in the demand from China, ramped up by promiscuous credit expansion, and you have a recipe for massive commodity expansion and overcapacity.
China consumed more cement between 2011 and 2013 than what was used in the United States in the entire 20th century. Similarly exaggerated demand for iron, copper and other industrial commodities underpinned huge expansions of capacity and debt levels.
A recent report by Andrew Brown, partner for macro and strategy at ShoreVest Capital Partners, concludes that it is China's turn to deflate its credit excesses. These are arguably the most extreme in history. China created debt equivalent to 139% of its gross domestic product between the first quarter of 2009 and the third quarter of 2014 when Chinese growth peaked. This debt explosion was far in excess of the debt created in other major credit bubbles around the globe.
China's excess credit, as measured by the Bank for International Settlements, is equivalent to about $3.1 trillion. The bubble is unquestionably a feature of current stock markets.
A Crash Is Coming
Once a bubble has been inflated, I know of no example where one was calmly deflated, short of a crash. Of course, that doesn't mean that everyone must be equally affected.
Note that some experts have suggested that the late 1990s dot-com boom was a bigger bubble than today because the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio for the Nasdaq in 1999 was higher. As true as that statistic is, it paints a false picture. The reason?
Over the last 18 years, the powers that be have tweaked accounting standards to permit companies a greater latitude in declaring fanciful earnings. The result?
If you adjusted the earnings of S&P 500 companies to reflect the generally accepted accounting principles in force in 1999, today's earnings would shrivel by at least half.
That would make the market about two times more expensive than it already is. So a P/E of 29 today, using 1999's accounting standards, would be 58 or higher!
Prudence suggests backing out of unhedged passive long investments in the U.S. market.

How Long is Too Long to Wait?
How Long is Too Long to Wait?
Hear, hear!
Yes, the "customer handling" staff needs to grow as fast as the reservations do. But they must be resourceful, friendly, and know the product and system inside-out. It's taking time to double and redouble and redouble and redouble that staff. And then double it again. If more shifts crank up, they'll have to add another redoubling. (All compared to staff last fall.)
I suspect TM is already using 3 shifts, if not yet at full bore. More stores and more marketing are probably in the cards throughout the year. Juggling all the balls in the air is still going to be a challenge!
Where do u live?
Vancouver, Canada.
...on the other hand, Tesla is a symphatic startup, who fights against the big guys and has execute very well- so far. Everyone knows that and: shortage of the MS maybe increases the interest ... doesn't it?
I agree that something needs to change. I know the average American (including myself) is used to walking into a dealership and driving off with a car. I accepted I would have a wait when I reserved my car a year ago+ but from here on out people are going to expect a click and ship which won't be possible. They need to E-mail out weekly or at least monthly updates of some kind to reservation holders. I know it might be rough with the company being public but telling your customer that you shipped VIN 14382 or reservation number 13547 would at least let them know where they stand as reservation holder 23942.
The other aspect of their short term problem is what seems to happen to almost everyone as they approach their delivery window. No contact made. My delivery window starts in 4 days, and I have not even been contacted by a single person or automated response since the day I finalized my delivery options. I would think that someone should have contacted me about financing and trade in. I also need my VIN to evaluate outside financing (PenFed).
Anyhow, a few things should at least be automatic as the delivery window approaches, and this is a database programming issue, not necessarily a human power requirement. I am concerned that part of my lack of contact is caused by ordering my car entirely on-line. I don't have a human contact that I can call to "nag", which I have been very reluctant to do. I think they absolutely need to fix this process so that they are the proactive part of the relationship, not their paying customer.
I do think they will lose reservation holders with the current process, even as the cycle time from reserve to order to ship cuts from years to months.
I wonder if I would have followed through with my order if I didn't follow these forums so much? I'd me much more frustrated if I hadn't seen this happen to so many others over the past few months.
Leofingal - agree. I have yet to call them, and the lack of automated or personal feedback is disturbing. Second time around for me - ordered a LEAF sight unseen, and waited for almost a year. America (especially the young ones) will easily adopt to on-line buying of cars; especially those who have never bought from a dealer. I prefer it this way.
@ Cattledog & Leofingal
100% On Point! It would seem in the haste to get Model S out the door, Tesla might have the cart in front of the horse. Hopefully this is a short term problem. That said with Model X reservations rolling in without a single example nearing the end of the assembly line presently, and the current Model S backlog, it is conceivable they could be several years from finding the handle on this issue.
They may become their own worst enemy slowly poisoning the potential customer base as more examples come into the wild and the friends and associates of the recipients of these vehicles remain on the sidelines in light of seeing first hand what those who eventually get vehicles must go through and simply can't or don't want to wait. Clearly the supply side and communication issues MUST be fixed!
It seems to be mainly a matter of co-ordinating computer systems, and adequate Delivery Staff levels. We should hear about both in the Y/E letter.

Janet Langhart Cohen | The president should speak out on race
In the wake of the not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial, President Barack Obama has called on the American people to engage in calm reflection.
Few expected the president to denounce the verdict or call upon people to take to the streets in protest, but we did expect him to speak in a way that touched the heartbreak, despair and quiet rage that so many of us feel at this moment.
On multiple occasions, Obama has asked blacks to understand the high wire he is forced to walk on the subject of race. He has pleaded that we cut him some slack.
Most have done so even as conditions in the black community have become more desperate.
We have waited and watched the president address issues of importance to women, gays and lesbians, Latinos and the security of our allies.
We praised his boldness in speaking to the issue of sexual orientation during his visit to Africa.
For the past four years, we have remained silent; some have been satisfied that Obama being the first black president was reason enough to seal our lips and muffle our voices. But most were convinced that, once he entered his second term, Obama would be liberated from the racial harness that politics forced him to wear.
During this period of self-imposed silence, we have watched our criminal laws become racialized and our race criminalized. Blacks continue to be faced with punishing unfairness and inequalities.
Soaring rates of unemployment, discriminatory drug laws, disproportionate prison sentences, unequal access to health care and healthy food, unfair stop-and-frisk policies and "accidental" shootings of unarmed black men by the police — these and more are treated with indifference or contempt. We're told to stop complaining, to get over it. No one cares.
But that's just the point of living in the United States. Somebody is supposed to care.
Our elected officials, beginning with the president, are charged with the responsibility of listening to the needs, the grievances, the voices of the people — including people of color.
It's the reason every black leader from Frederick Douglass to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has urged us to speak up, agitate, march, brave the beatings from fire hoses, the bull whips and dogs, to touch the conscience of the American people with the righteousness of our demands for equal opportunity and justice.
It is my hope that Obama will do what Nelson Mandela did when he was forced to stand trial before an Afrikaner court for the crime of fighting for freedom.
He wore his tribal kaross as his coat of arms and his blackness as his badge of honor.
And when he was liberated from prison, "Madiba" spoke out — not for revenge or retribution, but for justice, for the need to seek truth and reconciliation.
Mandela will forever stand tall in the world's hall of heroes because he remained unbent and unbroken before his adversaries.
But he will be especially revered for his courage in asking his nation to face the truth of its past.
A leader does not have to be black to speak out on behalf of those who are suffering disproportionately in our society.
President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy spoke passionately about the need to rectify the patent inequalities experienced by blacks. President Lyndon B. Johnson, invoking the civil rights anthem "We Shall Overcome," called on the American people "to eliminate from this nation every trace of discrimination and oppression that is based on race or color" and pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
But just as one does not have to be black to speak to the issues of race, black people should not have to wait for white leaders to be elected before they feel free to vigorously petition their government to redress their legitimate grievances.
I say this with respect: To use the Rev. Martin Luther King's phrase, there is a fierce urgency of now for the president to talk boldly and truthfully about race and racism and why it still matters in the United States.
I hope President Obama will speak not just to black people or just to white people but to the good people in America. We can never have racial reconciliation without discussing the truth.
The sound of silence is a song that we can no longer sing.

Rob Bell's Love Wins attracted a great deal of attention last year partly because of the questions he raised. They are not just Bell's questions, but questions all of us have. Take these, raised twice in the book:
Of all the billions of people who have ever lived, will only a select number "make it to a better place" and every single other person suffer in torment and punishment forever? Is this acceptable to God? Has God created millions of people over tens of thousands of years who are going to spend eternity in anguish? Can God do this, or even allow this, and still claim to be a loving God?
These questions come in many forms today, and range from the theoretical to the personal: The Buddhist child who dies in some remote corner of China, having never heard the gospel—is she going to hell? Why would a good God allow my wife to get cancer? And so forth.
No matter how or why it is asked, its basic form is this: How do we know that God can be trusted to be good?
That question usually comes with a partial answer, which also depends on the particular concerns of the questioner. It often goes like this: "Well, I know one thing for sure, I could never believe in a God who would ___." Fill in the blank. Like: "I could never believe in a God who would condemn the Buddhist child to hell."
This is one way we shape our faith as we stand in the shadows of one of these dark scenarios. Faith becomes not confidence in the love of God but mostly a defensive bulwark against our nightmares, against the haunting possibility that God may be unjust and arbitrary.
But can we do better than this? Is there a way to face this question squarely—is God good?—and come away with even more confidence in the love of God?

Bengals cornerback Adam Jones was supposed to stand trial on assault charges Monday, but the day at the courtroom ended before it started.
Kimball Perry of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the case was continued until a later date. That date is unknown but Perry "bet" that the new date would be after the end of the football season.
Jones was facing charges related to a June incident at a bar in Cincinnati. Jones has been accused of assaulting a 34-year-old woman in an incident that was caught on video. Jones has argued that he was protecting himself from the woman, who appeared to stick something in Jones' face before he struck her.
Jones could face discipline from the league under the personal conduct policy as a result of the incident, although any league action may wait until the legal system sorts out whether Jones was guilty of anything more than not walking away from a situation that he probably should have before it escalated to the point of criminal charges.

How To Boost Energy
I think we all have days when we feel tired and lack the energy to get through a day. What do you do with that? Do you think it is better to take it as a sign from your body, and rest? Get some more sleep? Take some vitamins or eat some fresh healthy produce? Or do you fight through it somehow with extra cups of coffee or other caffeinated drinks? I've been reading that too much caffeine can lead to adrenal fatigue. Is it better to fight through the tiredness? Does exercise help boost your energy?
My solution has been: get more sunshine, MOVE, eat things that make me feel lighter and not heavier, and yes, I do have that extra cup of coffee sometimes to help me make it through. I also take Sublingual B-12 daily and sometimes I have an Emergen-C Drink or a teaspoon of raw local honey for a boost.
What do you do when you need extra energy?

sunshine definately helps, as does eating well, and getting enough rest. i find b12 gives me great energy but if i take it every day it "builds up" and i have trouble sleeping so i take it a few times a week. i started taking airborne "fizzys" as a daily vitamin and that seems to work wonders for me. i actually have been weaning myself off of caffeine theboost isnt worth all the baggage that comes with it.

Getting in heart-pumping workouts everyday, eating right, plenty of sleep and water. The only things that give me real energy!

I live in Seattle, where sunshine is not an option. I totally understand how you are feeling. I find that in the winter I have a tendency to oversleep, which actually makes me feel more tired throughout the day. If I stick to 7-8 hours I usually do best. A green tea in the afternoon is helpful, and doesn't prevent me from sleeping later in the day.
I have found that the best trick for me is just staying active! I posted a blog article about resisting the urge to hibernate a few months ago. You may find some of the suggestions help you to get through the winter:

I use B12 sublingual as part of my protocol (I have an autoimmune disorder), but for energy specifically I find L-carnitine very useful. I take it daily and really notice poor stamina if I miss taking it.
I also need to make sure I get red meat in my diet several times per week because I have the tendancy to boderline anemia. I feel that I absorb iron better the less grains I eat for some reason - probably the grains irritating my gut? Not sure. Just throwing out there what works for me.
Sunshine too. I find it energizing especially in Spring and Autumn.

I live in Alaska, I know a thing or two about darkness in the winter ;)
Despite originally being from a much warmer and sunnier climate I haven't actually been bothered by the weather at all, no SAD to speak of, but whenever I feel draggy and need more energy a quick workout makes a BIG difference. Even just four or five deep, cleansing breaths can make a huge difference in how energized I feel.

Hungry girl here. I had 1 caffeinated coffee today and two decafs, each with a little organic half and half. No prob all day. Now I just had a really nice serving of homemade beef and sausage lasagna with my family. One slice of sour-dough garlic bread (I tolerate this better than French or Italian white bread.) Two servings of fresh fruit salad and two oatmeal cookies. Brings me to a little less than 1200 calories. I will lose a half pound a day on this many calories, eaten at dinnertime. To maintain I need more like 1800-2000. But I am so full, I will not even think about food the rest of the night. My day was full of energetic action and I have had no joint or muscle aches for a long time. No acne. I'm just sayin" don't totally ignore the intermittent fasting plan. I'm not hungry at all during the day until about 3, at times. Then a V8 drink or slice of good cheese will take me to dinnertime. I have no need to eat in the evenings after the nice amount of food I just had for dinner. Blood pressure is low, cholesterol is low, I weigh 160 today, (I am 5'9", wear a 6 or 8.) used to weigh 231 when I ate everything that wasn't tied down in the house, everyday.
I really don't crave a thing like I used to, it was very bad. I know that I can eat really whatever I want in the dinnertime window, and if not today then I have tomorrow with again really no restrictions, other than timeframe. I never would have thought I could do this, but amazingly my cravings and need to snack went away with my body pain and acne very quickly. I wish you guys could feel how this feels. I am 54 and last winter I thought my life was going to be filled with crippling pain and fatness for whatever time I had left. Not so.

Anonymous/Hungry Girl~
If you come back and see this, I have a question. When you first tried IF, did you get dizzy or feel sick from it? I ask because when I go longer than 4 hours or so without eating, I get a headache, nausea, and feel dizzy. It is an awful feeling. Low blood sugar maybe? Did you experience this at first and if so, how long did it take to go away? I hit 'unable to function' at about 5 hours foodless.
- March 28, 2012 at 5:10 PM
Hungry girl here. I have not ever felt dizzy since starting IF. I did get a little foggy and angry around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. That's when I will now do the V8 or a little cheese. Both of these give me a little protein and don't seem to awaken the insulin surge monster that dominated my life back in my craving days. I do find that my one cup of coffee with just a little half and half for breakfast gives me the "nurturing comfort" that I need in the morning. The caffeine also makes me feel ready to go. Then one more cup of decaf with the same half and half and I feel happy and ready for my day, this one usually at my desk as my work begins. The next coffee, if needed, may come in the afternoon when I start feeling a little hangry. That and the V8 or cheese or whatever might give me a little protein with no need for insulin surges gets me through to dinner quite well. Once in a while I will have a day when I feel tired while fixing dinner, but I think everyone might. IF plans give different windows, between 5-6 hours and less. I feel I get along best with less, just really the one real meal. I was really so surprised when I started and ate that one meal a day, whatever I wanted, just like a normal person might eat, how well I felt almost within days. I could have cried, my life was so full of pain previously, I didn't honestly know if I could even be a grandmother to my new little grandson. But I am and I can. I'm really not trying to blow smoke, there are debates about whether there really is substantial evidence that eating many small meals a day is what our bodies have been built for. Many countries do eat one meal a day. That aside, as everyone has their own thoughts and I don't want to start a political diet debate, I really just happened to fall into a place where I was given the chance to try something different and see that for me, this worked. I have said before that my children, 30, 28, and 23 don't have my genetic issues, I am so glad for this. But I can see that my mom, my aunt and grandmothers suffered like I was, I have it in my family history.
I don't know what else I can share, as I do know that everyone's system is different. When I think back now, there were signs that I could do this and feel better, as those days when my client meetings and such kept me going all day with no time for breakfast, no chance to binge or snack at my home office, I always felt well and could eat dinner and be good. It was like my hunger slept all day and I didn't have to deal with the sluggishness that eating, healthy or badly, would do to my day. Or crawl out of my skin because I tried to avoid eating the Fig Newtons downstairs in the pantry, and then everything else. A few things came together that made me think this is part of what my body is trying to tell me, I was just too caught up in obsessing about what was in my pantry to think straight. Working out of my home office is wonderful, but it does keep me there with the food all the time. I don't seem to be bothered by that anymore.
I know you may be different, I really only wanted to share that my past is so much like yours. Ugh, pain, immobility, food obsession, feeling trapped at home. Maybe try a few days and give yourself a low sugar-load snack and a decaf in the afternoon, see if it helps? And if this isn't for you, I did not mean to say it's my way or the highway. I just never would have thought myself...
It's 8:39pm here now. I can feel a little hunger in my stomach, but I feel absolutely no desire to eat anything. For me, it's a miracle. I wish the same for you.
- March 28, 2012 at 6:46 PM
Hungry girl with one more thing--I do wake up in the morning hungry. This is what my coffee takes care of, with it's appetite suppressant and "get up and go" qualities. If I did or do eat breakfast, I could not go through the day fasting until dinnertime, as the hungry, food addicted beast in me would now be awake and I would probably require a nap to get through a sluggish day. I wish I wasn't this way, but I am glad to be able to deal with it in a way that keeps my addiction at bay. This is not for everyone, but it is a working solution for my body and keeps my food addictions under control and has changed my life, my health. :)

While I will acknowledge that during the times when I was exercising consistently, I have had more energy, that isn't usually enough for me. I haven't been able to make working out a permanent part of my life. When I am short on energy, I usually use caffeine (from diet soda or tea) to get me through the day and then I try to get more sleep that night so I can catch up.
- March 28, 2012 at 7:06 PM
Lyn, have you ever noticed that your car seems to have more energy after an oil and filter change, without all the old thick sludge gumming everything up?
Similarly, I've noticed recently that: I feel much better when I avoid thick sludge-y foods.
In other words, I am trying to avoid solid foods and even thick liquids. That means no creamy soups, no milk, not even Slim-Fast.
Instead, as much as possible, I am trying to drink thin liquids like water, diet green tea, and even Diet Coke. And for foods, I try for things that quickly break down to water, like sugar-free popsicles and Diet Jello.
Of course, since all those things have very few calories, I lose weight, but I need to change gears occasionally and eat something with a little more nutrition, like a few steamed vegetables and some scrambled eggs.
Anywhere, that's what I am trying now -- The No Sludge Diet.
- March 28, 2012 at 7:24 PM
Rhodiola root is a great herb for energy. It supports the adrenals rather than overstimulating like lots of caffeine can do. Taken with caffeine, it helps prevent a crash coming down from the caffeine. 500 mg of a standardized extract gets me through the better part of a day.

I don't really do caffeine, don't want to feel like my heart might race or anything. Not that it would, but don't wanna chance it.
As Jocelyn said, I try to adhere to just enough sleep, not too much (which would be my tendency) and not too little. Also avoid unhealthy sluggish type foods, eat well/healthy, drink a lot of water, and the best thing probably is exercise. I'm working on it! I have learned that is what will give me energy, but of course when you feel like you need energy, you want to try to talk yourself out of exercising. But I can't fool me, I KNOW by now that I will feel great after a walk or workout. :)
ps-another thing for feeling sluggish on an at home day is taking care of ME..like wash & moisturize face, fix hair, wear decent clothes that aren't too baggy, & put on shoes! Yep, sounds silly, I'm sure, but I do mean it.

Lyn and hungry girl, last time this subject (one eating window per day of eating ) came up, I added some detail to my reply to her but it did not show up in the comments. I assumed it was too much on a topic that may be considered controversial. If today's comment meets the same fate, it is not a problem; I understand the reason.
The word she used "miracle", was how I felt too, for all the reasons she mentioned. Also, like her, my entire life consisted of eating this way, but then I bought the "many small meals a day" suggestion, which just about destroyed my sanity, my normal weight and energy levels. I also developed a brand new obsession with food as well as constant hunger when I did not feel any, previously. We are the same age, hungry girl and I.
The suggestion to try this OLD (for me) way of eating, came from some 3fc members, at a time when I was desperate and completely out of control. In a way, I felt that somebody threw me a lifeline. Unlike hungry girl, I did not need anything during the day, except water and perhaps some green tea with a bit of artificial sweetener. My eating "window" was from 4PM to 9 PM, therefore I was not hungry at all in the morning.
I don't wish to engage in debate either, since everyone is different and there are as many theories out there as there are people, regarding eating styles and patterns. Some become quite militant about their way being not only the best way but the only way. Everybody who does not do it exactly their way is just wrong. I do want to point out, however, that a fast of 19 hours is not that unusual, if one considers that a typical pattern, for most people, may entail not eating between the hours of 6:00 PM and perhaps 8:00 or 9:00 AM. By adding a few more hours to the so called fast, I eliminated all thoughts of food from the time I woke up until 4:00 PM, when I could eat pretty much whatever I wished. I rarely, if ever, went over 1500 calories. Eating that many calories over a period of 5 hours makes me feel stuffed (which I LIKE). Every day felt like I was having a mini binge, which some may say is not a positive goal and I say, if it works for me, you follow yours and I follow mine. There are studies and theories that indicate that we are not benefitting from having our organs work all day long, in order to process the nutrients we feed it. A 19 hour fast is not a condition that stressed our system. I will not belabor this point, however, because the information regarding this subject is available to anyone.
The food choices need not include unhealthy, sugar and saturated fat laden food or anything else that makes one feel lousy, like all simple carbs, if these cause problems, which for some, they do not. It can be all whole, organic, whatever one selects for feeding one's system.
Another advantage for me, though this may be considered a negative by some, is that fasting produces low level euphoria (look up the bio reasons), therefore my energy was through the roof!
So, without any desire to suggest that anyone else will benefit from this schedule of eating, I am adding my "anon" to hungry girl's experience for you to see it, regardless of whether it appears in the comments.

Hungry Girl... if you happen to see this.. your idea reeeeeally intrigues me. I have noticed that when I eat like you are now, (by accident/due to work)- I also can have a lovely large dinner & still be ok. It seems to be one of the only scenarios where I don't binge (never realized it!) Thanks for letting others know about this.. I will def give it a try. I really think it might work for me. I just wanted to ask you if you had sugar in your coffee, since that activates some people's bingey sides. Thank u sooo much. Lisa

hi again and thanks for the information! I don't recall seeing the extra info comment you mentioned not showing up, but wanted you to know I don't mind controversial topics at all! As long as people are civil, all kinds of discussion is welcome. Sometimes things get caught by the spam filter and I approve them later if I catch them. Thanks for all your insights!

Hungry girl here, again. I don't use sugar in my coffee, just a splash of real half and half. I am lucky that I have always liked unsweetened coffee and tea. Anonymous with the larger "eating window"--I think I am much the same as you, my "window" technically starts mid afternoon when I have that little protein snack. I just stop eating after a normal dinner, not into the evening as you do. And once again I will say we are major foodies in my family, but we are also very health oriented and do have high quality foods from scratch for the most part. Desserts too, and party food is also mainly made here at home, as we do like to cook! Tonight will be a nice London Broil, creamy mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and maybe a little dessert. I feel a little hunger now at noon, but just thinking about sitting to that meal later gives me the determination to wait for it, with my little snack coming up. But seriously? My body chemistry is also different, because I know how the binge monster controls someone who is out of control, it's almost impossible to resist that behavior when in the middle of the slog.
Now, I do have days when I vary from this, if we go out to lunch or breakfast on the weekends, or are out at night late once in a while. I find it doesn't effect me too much, unless I eat pancakes or waffles for breakfast instead of a nice high protein egg something. Then I need a nap and can be very groggy.
Lyn, I also had more trouble as I headed in to menopause. Now I went later, at 53 still had some monthly action going on. But this time of life did bring more weight trouble and a fat belly, where I always was the pear shape before! But that has passed with an intermittent fasting lifestyle.
