BRENDA: Yup, then my boss took me out for a belated birthday supper. Her husband and oldest son were suppose to join us but they opted out.

It was nice and I didn't have to cook anything. Eve brought home half a piece of apple pie. We got desert and split it. The pie was good.

No pasta or cheese!!!!

I probably shouldn't eat cheese either, since it doesn't agree with me anymore, but it's one of the few food sins I still indulge in.

I'm pretty much still gluten free, but I've always made exceptions for when I eat with other people. I just don't "cook" it for myself. The spaghetti, ravioli, mac and cheese and frozen pizzas that I'd make for myself was definitely not real Italian food.



But by not eating something much, you REALLY enjoy it on the rare occasions that you indulge.

I don't get the same level of enjoyment out of the rare soda, but every once in a while if I'm down by my brother's with my Dad I'll have one and it does taste about 10 times better than I remember it tasting when it was a staple of my diet.

https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/risk-fact-sheet
Based on current incidence rates, 12.9% of women born in the United States today will develop breast cancer at some time during their lives.

About 16 per 1,000 women in America had abortions in 2018. It was 29.3 per 1,000 in the 80s. So in any 10 year span, more than 15% of women have abortions.
But the breast cancer rate is only 13%.

First pregnancy abortions were already known to be the highest correlation with breast cancer. Sounds like it still is the case, despite the denials from SJWs.

It's nice to know that you're getting out again, seeing people and enjoying yourself.

So I read that you're now working once per month?
Must have something to do with your boss retiring, I guess.
How often were you working before?

So of course I saw the neighborhood bird families: the California Towhees, the Scrub Jays, and the Mockingbirds, the House Finches, the House Sparrows, and the LBJs (little brown jobs). I also saw some western goldfinches. In addition I saw a California trasher. At first I thought it was a towhee, because it was well hidden under the trees, and it was about the same uniform brown, size, and shape. But then it came out to work on a fallen cherry, and it had pretty long legs and an extremely long, narrow, down-curved beak. If I've ever seen one before, I don't remember.




And as well as the monarch butterflies that come to visit the passionfruit vine, and the medium-sized white and yellow butterflies, I saw what may have been a painted lady which looks like a smaller, duller, chunkier monarch, and a HUGE - over 3" across - bright yellow butterfly covered about 50% with deep black margins. I'm guessing it's the anise butterfly.

Among your Mah Jong group, how many are regular attendees? And how many different players are usually the winners? Do most of the same players win most of the time?

Although I finished with the fact that SJWs were denying it, I did not choose to include "cue denial by PC activist in 3...2...1..."
Think I missed the opportunity? But the reply was right on que.
And she even included the PC-scrubbed-of-inconvenient-facts linky which I implied but did not specify.

Back when that correlation was first learned, there was a huge storm of PC funds being thrown at gobs of new "studies" with pre-conclusions to disprove the facts. Overwhelming resources to thwart the reality and facts. But the real world facts have continued to prove out the correlation known long ago. Almost funny, if it wasn't so sad. So much "anti-breast-cancer" money thrown at getting more women breast cancer, it is a shame.

I ran across some more info. Even Breast Cancer activists are getting sloppy, letting slip some actual facts instead of their PC mantra.

https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/breast-cancer-statistics/
Of the nations with the highest rates of breast cancer, US apparently ranks 22nd.
On that list, curious how you don't see Brazil, Poland, Columbia, Mexico, Spain, Israel. Israel seems, from what I gather, to encourage offspring. The rest of those are highly Catholic nations.

And from

another inconvenient fact:

Quote:

---

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/highest-catholic-po
pulation
Of the 10 nations with the greatest Catholic Populations, only USA, France, and Italy are on the top 25 list for breast cancer. And that France entry might not count, not sure of the "metropolitan" notation - perhaps France as a whole does not rank in the top 25. These are the most aggressive abortion nations.

Of the 10 nations with the greatest percentage of Catholics, only Italy ranks in the top 25 of breast cancer nations.



Golly gee whiz, the nations with the lowest abortion rates also have the lowest breast cancer rates? Say it ain't so, Sally.

I've got 3 aunts and a grandma who have died of breast cancer. I have one aunt who is still fighting against it.

Unless they're all really good at keeping secrets, none of them had abortions. The chances that the 4 aunts all had abortions and nobody knew it are astronomically small. I'll bet my life that my grandma didn't.

Women do die of breast cancer without having an abortion first. You do know this, right?


P.S. Could you start another thread about this or something? I shouldn't have commented on it not once, but twice now.

This is not the place.

That sounds very autumnal. Too many days of gray skies with nothing to look at except bare leaves is so dreary.

But, I do like those sunny, breezy autumn days. I hope you have many of those!

And I still like snow. Having lived in socal almost since I graduated from university means I never got burned out in the experience of having to get back and forth to work in it and, at my age, shoveling snow was fun. The quiet landscapes and sparkling snow, and especially Xmas lights shining thru and on the snow made up for the blizzards, mush, ice, shoveling and general pain in the *assedness of winter.

At my age, tho, I would probably want to escape.
