[15:35] <BluesKaj> so there's no #kubuntu-ca .maybe we should apply for one
[15:37] <genii> Heh, maybe
[15:37] <BluesKaj> seeing that canonical is going in a different direction now
[15:38] <BluesKaj> or maybe #kde-ca , who knows what will work
[15:40] <genii> BluesKaj: Well, if we have only 27 in this channel, I'm not sure how populated any other one might get.
[15:41] <BluesKaj> yeah genii , unfortunately
[15:41] <genii> BluesKaj: On a related note, I'm wearing my new Kubuntu shirt today :)
[15:44] <BluesKaj> show us :)
[15:45] <genii> BluesKaj: OK, give me a minute :)
[15:49] <genii> BluesKaj: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=277879
[15:50] <BluesKaj> genii. looks cool , probly not available in my size tho :/
[15:51] <BluesKaj> <---tall and kinda heavy in the belly :)
[15:52] <genii> BluesKaj: I think next jussi will have some hoodies (hopefully)
[15:53] <BluesKaj> altho I'm down to 300 from 320
[15:53] <genii> BluesKaj: Yeah they are sold out now of the polo shirts, just checked at https://holvi.com/shop/Kubuntu
[15:54] <genii> BluesKaj: You should get some exercise soon shovelling when the snow finally hits! ;)
[15:55] <BluesKaj> genii. I'm going to start walking again now that my back is so much better
[15:56] <BluesKaj> been lazy this last yr or so
[15:56] <genii> Yeah walking is about the best overall, maybe aside from swimming
[15:57] <BluesKaj> yup
[15:59] <BluesKaj> 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] <genii> 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] <BluesKaj> older one gets the more difficult to get rid of the excess
[16:02] <genii> Guess I'll have to sign up at the Y for swimming
[16:03] <BluesKaj> not fond of chlorinated pools ...swam at the Y for 4 yrs as a kid ... had skin probs for a yr afterwards
[16:04] <genii> 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] <genii> Now it's just creeping up on me
[16:04] <BluesKaj> wow , you must mean2000-2500 ?
[16:05] <BluesKaj> that's alotta cals
[16:06] <genii> No, 20 thousand to 25 thousand :) Turns out I have a thyroid situation which makes it almost impossible to gain weight normally
[16:06] <BluesKaj> 2200 is std requirement for most ppl
[16:06] <BluesKaj> are you on thyroid meds ?
[16:07] <BluesKaj> must be hyper-thyroidism
[16:07] <genii> 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] <genii> 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] <BluesKaj> that's alot of processed food , odd that you didn't gain water weight just from the sodium content
[16:09] <genii> I guess hormone changes etc
[16:09] <BluesKaj> wife is hypo , takes levothyroxin
[16:11] <genii> My current doctor is more worried about my cholesterol and hypertension
[16:12] <BluesKaj> yeah , that's probly more important
[16:15] <genii> 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] <genii> So now it's the diet thing, trying not to eat so much garbage, etc
[16:18] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> 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] <BluesKaj> 12beer /wk isn't a ridiculous amount
[16:20] <genii> Beer in moderation isn't bad. A dozen a week is totally fine
[16:20] <genii> A dozen a day, that's another matter....
[16:21] <BluesKaj> genii. lots greens and veggies and protein and a few natural carbs is the way to go
[16:21] <genii> My main problem is I like to eat pork chops :)
[16:22] <BluesKaj> hehe, a dozen a day, gawd ...don't think I could handle that physically or mentally
[16:23] <BluesKaj> chops is good , red meat for hemoglobin / iron is important
[16:24] <BluesKaj> and protein of course
[16:24] <BluesKaj> cut away the fat , that's all
[16:25] <genii> 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] <genii> 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
[20:51]  * genii makes another pot of coffee
[20:55] <genii> BobJonkman1: Should it be posted to http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca/ ?
[20:56] <BobJonkman1> genii: Yes, I'm just creating an Agenda page now.
[20:56] <genii> OK, cool
[20:58] <BobJonkman1> 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] <BobJonkman1> Never mind, I'm in now
[20:58] <genii> Odd, I just logged in without issue.
