=== RoddieKieley1 is now known as RoddieKieley [15:35] so there's no #kubuntu-ca .maybe we should apply for one [15:37] Heh, maybe [15:37] seeing that canonical is going in a different direction now [15:38] or maybe #kde-ca , who knows what will work [15:40] BluesKaj: Well, if we have only 27 in this channel, I'm not sure how populated any other one might get. [15:41] yeah genii , unfortunately [15:41] BluesKaj: On a related note, I'm wearing my new Kubuntu shirt today :) [15:44] show us :) [15:45] BluesKaj: OK, give me a minute :) [15:49] BluesKaj: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=277879 [15:50] genii. looks cool , probly not available in my size tho :/ [15:51] <---tall and kinda heavy in the belly :) [15:52] BluesKaj: I think next jussi will have some hoodies (hopefully) [15:53] altho I'm down to 300 from 320 [15:53] BluesKaj: Yeah they are sold out now of the polo shirts, just checked at https://holvi.com/shop/Kubuntu [15:54] BluesKaj: You should get some exercise soon shovelling when the snow finally hits! ;) [15:55] genii. I'm going to start walking again now that my back is so much better [15:56] been lazy this last yr or so [15:56] Yeah walking is about the best overall, maybe aside from swimming [15:57] yup [15:59] we have pool facilities available for the townsppl at the sports complex here , but it's such pita to go thru the rigmarole [16:00] Now that I'm not doing physical labour every day I'm starting to notice how out of shape I am and gaining a bit of weight. Since I was always between 125-130 ( for like 30 years ) it feels weird. Not much but I notice it now.. I'm up to 137 atm [16:01] older one gets the more difficult to get rid of the excess [16:02] Guess I'll have to sign up at the Y for swimming [16:03] not fond of chlorinated pools ...swam at the Y for 4 yrs as a kid ... had skin probs for a yr afterwards [16:04] I remember my doctor trying to help me put on weight, I was consuming 20,000 to 25,000 calories every day but only went up 3 pounds after a couple months of this. [16:04] Now it's just creeping up on me [16:04] wow , you must mean2000-2500 ? [16:05] that's alotta cals [16:06] No, 20 thousand to 25 thousand :) Turns out I have a thyroid situation which makes it almost impossible to gain weight normally [16:06] 2200 is std requirement for most ppl [16:06] are you on thyroid meds ? [16:07] must be hyper-thyroidism [16:07] I was drinking about 15-20 cans of Ensure every day, plus usually a box of cereal in the morning, 2-3 subs at lunch, couple large pizza at dinner, 2 litre containers of ice cream, etc [16:08] BluesKaj: Not on meds (currently). My sister has same situation but after she had her kids needed to go on meds for it. [16:09] that's alot of processed food , odd that you didn't gain water weight just from the sodium content [16:09] I guess hormone changes etc [16:09] wife is hypo , takes levothyroxin [16:11] My current doctor is more worried about my cholesterol and hypertension [16:12] yeah , that's probly more important [16:15] Heh. I remember when he saw the results of my cholesterol testing, he thought the lab messed up and sent me back for a re-do. And then the second time it was even higher. And then he told me it's the highest bad cholesterol he'd ever seen from someone that wasn't obese. [16:15] So now it's the diet thing, trying not to eat so much garbage, etc [16:18] Ive 'be been on the edge of diabetes for a few yrs now, and my ulcer incident put me over the edge so now I'm looking at watching my diet and blood sugar levels , the fun is over til I get stabliized [16:19] havent had a beer in over a month ...wife is convinced it's the beer that's to blame, not my food diet [16:20] 12beer /wk isn't a ridiculous amount [16:20] Beer in moderation isn't bad. A dozen a week is totally fine [16:20] A dozen a day, that's another matter.... [16:21] genii. lots greens and veggies and protein and a few natural carbs is the way to go [16:21] My main problem is I like to eat pork chops :) [16:22] hehe, a dozen a day, gawd ...don't think I could handle that physically or mentally [16:23] chops is good , red meat for hemoglobin / iron is important [16:24] and protein of course [16:24] cut away the fat , that's all [16:25] I have a pretty regular routine of after work on Mon, Wed, Fri to go have 2-3 Guinness around the corner, then home for dinner ( usually something like salmon with spinach and a salad on the side) [16:26] In my 20s the roofing crew I was on, we used to drink insanely every night, so this is a major reduction in alcohol for me! [16:33] * BluesKaj nods === cyphermox_ is now known as cyphermox [20:51] * genii makes another pot of coffee [20:55] BobJonkman1: Should it be posted to http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca/ ? [20:56] genii: Yes, I'm just creating an Agenda page now. [20:56] OK, cool [20:58] Conveniently, I created a template some time ago. But I'm having a bit of trouble logging in. The Ubuntu OpenID server isn't responding [20:58] Never mind, I'm in now [20:58] Odd, I just logged in without issue.
