Random commentary

neadodsEvery time I see the "pick a topic for me to rant on" meme crop up, I think "Dudes! I find plenty of ways to raise my blood pressure on my own!"
Speaking of which, more on Spongebob. Mostly funny - definately read it just for the snark factor - but there's one quote that is stomach-turning: "Tolerance" and "diversity" are part of a "coded language that is regularly used by the homosexual community," said a spokesman from the reliably over-caffeinated Family Research Council.
There you have it - tolerance and diversity are teh gay. I'll let y'all do the relevant links to quotes from the founding fathers and the gospels about how "unAmerican" and "unChristian" that interestingly twisted mindset is.
(In a side note, I aspire to write like Bruce Kluger...)
And in other news... remember my father's heart attack? Which was at first a "oh, don't worry, it's kinda a complication of surgery" and turned into "he was due for this regardless"? My mother is sticking with the "regardless" side of things and she was there. But I made a chance comment to my aunt (father's sister) about how I was going to eat heart-healthily now (well... soon...) because my Dad had a heart attack and their Dad had died of one.
"Oh, [our] Daddy had an enlarged heart and blood pressure problems and all kinds of things," she scoffed. "Totally different."
Well, that was encouraging. Until my Mother told me that my Aunt has just been diagnosed with heart irregularities...
Oh, and have I mentioned that I'm terrified of going of Alzheimers, as both grandmothers did? And that google news had a series of articles yesterday about how heart health seems to dimish the risk of going gaga?
Expect me to start doing some serious posting of recipes on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
poly_diet. I'm finding very dark chocolate surprisingly unpleasant, and I've tried and I simply cannot, cannot drink even half a glass of red wine. Feh. So I'm going to look into wine-and-fish based Mediterranean recipes. (And wistfully wonder if drinking a peppermint patty every day would fill the flavinoid/alcohol requirement.)
