Someone said something like "Nicotine is the perfect drug, it relaxes, it stimulates and always leaves you unsatisfied". Makes sense to me.Liver failure is hardly positive itself
Smoking can relax the smoker, if just due to calming the need for nicotine.
Tomatoes are pretty much the basis of the Mediterranean diet
Drinking in moderation has health benefits and won't wreck your liver.Liver failure is hardly positive itself
Smoking can relax the smoker, if just due to calming the need for nicotine.
There is no such thing as a safe level of tobacco smoking.

Sure, I was referring to the fact that they didn't exist in Europe, so that "med diet" is of recent or relatively recent times.
...for you or those around you.
Been in Europe for about 500 years.
So what? It's a staple of the current Mediterranean diet.You don't say. Med diet has been in Europe for a few thousand years
"So what"? Well, can you recall two posts ago?
You people make things strange; I was noting that "med diet" can mean other things (other documented periods) to what it is now.

Unfortunately studies have been hacking away piece by piece at that alluring factoid for quite some time. I too love a subtle hit of alcohol from time to time, but we should probably just make peace with the fact it's not doing our health any favours at all.
Funny how nobody who ever went public with having COPD has said, "I feel so relaxed."Liver failure is hardly positive itself
Smoking can relax the smoker, if just due to calming the need for nicotine.
It's also a great way to make other people sick.

There're several things that can calm one down - a hammer for example, usually found in most houselholds. One solid blow is enough for years but I wouldn't recommend it either. Nor does it make any sense to use nicotine for that if the mandatory prerequisite is being addicted to it.
Sure, I am not suggesting that anyone starts to smoke ^_^
It is very difficult to quit, and has no benefit for non-smokers (addiction soothing is the only benefit for smokers)
I don't know if this is a rave or a "Holy ****, what did I get myself into?" kind of situation.
Reverse back to last year, when LibraryThing (a website that you can use to create a virtual library of the books you own). There are numerous other reading and literacy programs connected with it, and there are discussion groups for various genres.
Well, it seems that some of the groups, for various reasons, found themselves without admins. I thought what the heck, I'll apply for two or three, just curious to see how this place runs, but wouldn't want it to be for anything I don't read myself, so... science fiction, fantasy, NaNoWriMo, and historical fiction (since I love Roman murder mysteries and Philippa Gregory Tudor novels).
Someone else got chosen for the science fiction group. This morning, months after I assumed they'd picked someone else for the Historical Novel discussion group, I got an email with the appointment.
So now I admin a group on LibraryThing in which the group discusses historical novels. Crash course on how this actually works is needed now (at the very least, I want to get rid of that godawful image of Napoleon that's the banner...
).
And this has become a hybrid of "Yay, maybe something will come of this" and "WTH did I just get myself into?"

I've been going to Mass for a couple months now. I hadn't gone for like two years because of COVID, and my life hadn't felt the same. Mia has been a challenge, but a good one, and Matt has been coming too and he's helping me a lot. A lot of people remember me and are so nice and are congratulating me a lot.
My Sundays just feel so much more right with going in the morning (we go for 9 am) I didn't realize just how much I missed this. And I feel so much better spiritually, and I feel much calmer and more like myself.

E/C squared = mass
Mass is no simple thing and the energy involved can be substantial.

I love you both so much.
