My Gorgeous Self, My Genes, a Diet Chart , Etc.

Head shots of me in the 70s when I was in my 30s--no wonder i had such a successful sex life!!! :O)



In a new study scientists have shown there is a gene that will predispose someone to smoking and make it more difficult for them to stop. Let's see--I now have smoking, fat and gay genes--no wonder I always put pleasure before business unless I have a pleasure gene, also--waiting for the next report!!!

For those who asked--I made up a chart where I list my nutrient intake everyday with the MAXIMUM amount allowed per day--except for calories intake (which is lower for women) the counts are the same:

calories 2,000 sodium 2400 mgs cholesterol 300 mgs proteun 63 mgs carbs 300mgs fiber 30 mgs saturated fat 25 mgs and fats 65 mgs I keep a running total everyday--even when I go off my diet!!!

As I always do I went food shopping today--one of my favorite things!!--and observed what another blogger once wrote about (Sorry, I forget who) that men are neater in filling their carts while most women just throw the items in--never did notice that before--as much as I would like to believe that I gain weight just by looking at food or inhaling the aromas I know that isn't true or I would walk out of the supermarket 50 pounds heavier--I love walking around and looking at all the various items to eat and buy--hey, everyone gets their kicks in their own way!!

Just a reminder--for those who like Bette Davis or want to get familiar with her work on Saturday TCM will be celebrating what would have been her 100th birthday by showing her pictures all day and evening including the brilliant All About Eve and her Oscar winning performance in Jezebel.

Another beautiful day in South Florida--mid 80s with a cool breeze--I think I will go down to the point, stretch out on a chair and just enjoy the water, the sky, the fauna and life! (While I give into my smoking gene!LOL)

Oh, that weather! Sounds so wonderful. I know I toss my groceries when I shop. Who has time to organize a grocery cart--and who cares?

Great looking guy, Martin -- I like your beard/goatee you were sportin' back then. Cool look.
I didn't know about the smoking gene. Is that only for cigarette smoking?...j/k

Will you stop mentioning the temperature Martin, you make me so jealous.

You are such a stud, Martin.
I read about that study. It makes sense. It is a bit a tragic find. Not only do the genes make a person more likely to smoke, it makes more likely to lead to cancer.

Martin, you remind me of Howard Keel when he starred with Kathryn Grayson in KISS ME KATE. Do you remember that one?

You are right about the men shopping.They checked out everything more
so than a woman does.I know that this guy does.
Wow it has been that long for Bette Davis?Never realized this.
