This is MORE than alarming! "Insect Apocalypse" predicted by scientists.

Robecology comments on Feb 11, 2019:

I love "Huff Post" and I consider myself an Ecologist/Environmentalist....but I must warn you about "alarmists" . They're scaring off those in D.C. who can legislate change, and control. I'm sure you're aware of Trump's anti-eco spirit...denies Climate change. wants an oil lobbyist running the EPA. etc. Here's a study that Snopes re-directed me to; note that it's informal, based on "car impact surveys" and just some data in Germany. Obviously there's a climate shift and global warming. Obviously the root cause of the problem is the still growing population (158 more births, than deaths, per minute, 227,000 more per day) and the push to keep fossil fuels. But beware the alarmists. They make us serious scientists look bad. https://apnews.com/eccd411638994db6b5388c052c00dd3b

The smaller ones work in a small jar. The secret is also in how hot the water is that the cukes sit in....and for how long. I microwave the cukes with the spices and vinegar about a minute - or until the liquid is too hot to touch...but not boiling. Then I close the jar, let it sit on the counter to get down to room temp....and then in the fridge.

Written evidence. By the person acting "insane" His twitter account will - I am sure - some day be used as evidence that he was, and is, certifiably insane. It wont be me.

That's game playing.

Then you're being honest. You eliminate the ones that are "trying too hard". Many won't be up to the challenge; some will. If you're impressed with what they tell you then at least you can get back to them knowing you were never dishonest. I would reject a "game player" who said "you passed the test'.

#1. Don't keep junk food around. Easy if you live alone, tough if you have a family. #2. Don't kick nor punish yourself for "cravings"...they're actually addictions created before you could walk and talk. I'm not blaming parents here; we all did the best we could...but there needs to be more awareness of when cravings are created, and how to make the cravings for healthier food important for parenting. #3. What you're doing....talking about it....is a big first step. Kudos on that #4. Let Hunger be your friend. Do some research; don't believe me; but it's been my discovery that all animals who go "hungry" or experience "hunger" every day live longer. It's not so much the thin-ness of these people, it's their tolerance for hunger. We've become afraid of hunger. Let it be your friend. Try to feel "hungry" even if just for s short time every day. Don't believe me; check this out. The sensation of hunger is instinctual. For many people, the first twinge of hunger sends them searching for food, often before they need to eat. Feeling hungry at the start of a meal is good, but eating every time you feel hungry can result in overeating. .. https://www.sharecare.com/health/healthy-eating.../why-eat-healthy-food-hungry

If we want to lose weight/get in shape, we have two options (I'm talking to myself, as well, here).... 1. Get stricter with our diet 2. Get stricter with our exercise. It's been my experience that it's a whole lot easier to work on #1. We eat often during the day. We just need to measure portions. Time our eating. Avoid the "tempting" junk. Go to bed kind of hungry. #2 is way tougher (as the cartoon suggests)...and we work out anywhere from a few minutes to an hour....once a day. It's just far tougher to "change" this routine than to adjust our portions and meal timing...IMO. Of all the holiywood folk who talk about diet and exercise; I like what Matt McConaughey (who was famous for getting horribly thin in his great movie "Dallas buyers club) said about exercise ; "do any exercise that makes you huff and puff for at least 10 minutes, and makes you break a sweat. You need to sweat every day....it's almost like pissing...your body needs to do it". (my history; used to be 50lb over..now barely 10...fighting to lose that final 10).

Found a great read; for those who prefer reading the facts vs lies/exaggerations, etc. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/05/us/politics/fact-check-state-of-the-union.html

Why would someone not have a profile picture on a dating site?

Robecology comments on Feb 6, 2019:

I can understand kids asking this, but not mature adults. There's a thousand reasons for going through various stages of anonymity -not yet divorced. -not yet "broken up" -shy/embarrassed/ poor self image. -little access to good pictures. -I'm sure others will come up with even more. Don't question it; just avoid even contacting them. If they're ready and willing to "jump in" they'll act like it.

I've come across another amazing photo, not by me. Lol Hidden in the nature ?

Good morning! Here's today's question: Would you rather go hang gliding or whitewater rafting?

Robecology comments on Feb 6, 2019:

I've been on three rafting trips, no "hang gliding" nor "sky diving". I've also been on a couple of "zip-lines" but they were too fast! After I saw Lorraine Bracco go on a slow zip line in "Medicine Man" I've wanted to find a slow zip line experience -but never had. If anyone has...please let me know where? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8YDQdLVYiY

This came by. Happy to be able to provide credit for a change. by hirokingraphy | IG

I don't think he caught the sarcasm. His ego is in the clouds.
