Prunes and raspberries are the highest. Raising are good too, just
watch out for the sugar.

Peas and beans are best in the veggie side.

Prunes n' raisins do nothing for me.

I still have some red beans, left. See above.

I bought some "dorky dead guy" nukeable popcorn.

They didn't have any "hull-less" popcorn of even "hull-less" popcorn
cakes (like rice cakes, only less "gaggy")

OR "Tender White". They did have organic popcorn, but OR's about the
same. No GMOs or antibiotics.

Prunes probably have too much sugar for you, but they're
the best. Fiber, plus they have chemicals that make you
go:

Stewed prunes. I love them, but I have zero need for laxatives.

Why stewed? I eat 'em right out of the package.

I don't like prune juice because it's... cooked. All of
the tartness that tells me prunes used to be plums is
gone.

I don't mind them right out of the package. My mother used to stew them
and serve them for dessert.

Speaking of which, screw them Rubbermaid ice cube trays. After they
are a couple yrs old, they start degrading and leave small amts of
sediment in yer glass. I gotta start looking fer them aluminum trays,
like they had in the old days.

I like water, but cold water. And it's getting to be Summertime
.....time fer iced water.

Magnesium. If your body is low in magnesium that can be a big cause. Take 500 mg of magnesium 3 o 4 times a day for a day or so. You'll clean out.

and fiber is more of a cause than a cure for constipation......lots of water, drink lots of water, doesn't hurt to put some electrolytes in there too.

As a person who suffered mightily from thrombosed hemorroids, in my
youth, I NEVER use laxitives.

BTDT!

When my system stopped being a digestive tract and became an aquaduct,
fer a week, I usta drink a lotta Gatorade. I got so dehydrated, I
went to the pharmacy and asked the doc which had more electrolytes,
Gatorade or baby electrolytes (fer infant diarrhea). He sed Gatorade.
Which was good, as the baby electrolytes were insanely expensive.
Now, I cannot drink Gatorade, as it has tons o' added sugar. (did I
mention I jes lost 30 lbs?)

Besides, I been drinking nothing but water fer about 12 yrs. Beer,
also, but I essentially stopped drinking.

Too much too fast, even on a diet. If I went on a diet and lost 30
lbs in 6 weeks I'd be asking my doctor for further investigation.
Large rapid weightloss can be a symptom of serious problems.

Assuming you are fairly healthy, it can be done. A few years ago,
I dieted severely for about 60 days and I did lose 30 pounds. It
was a 1,000 calorie a day diet combined with lots of exercise.
Started out hard but once I got into it, I was fine. The almost
daily results overshadowed the small amount of eating.

I could stand to do that again but just getting started is hard
to do. It's a mindgame thing.

That's five pounds per week he lost and men seem to be able to drop more
weight and faster than women. *Sigh*

My son's girlfriend's father has had sudden weight loss. They're scared to death. I can't say what's happening with that because they're either not telling us or they're ignoring the problem.

I think it depends on how much weight one is over by?

The reasonable standard is no more than 2% total weight loss per month.

Translated for me at 127lbs (yes, I really do average that), 30lbs loss
in 6 weeks would indicate extreme medical issues. So if i wanted to
trim down in a healthy manner, it's 2lbs a month max here. It's only
that I am 5ft1 that makes me a bit 'pluffy' and not hugely pluffy even
then. Reality, 1lb a month for a short time is smarter here and that's
because I'm not particularily overweight.

Most beers are very cheap... and the pricier ones really don't taste
any different... after the third beer they all taste the same. Anyway
I've no idea of the price of that Steel Reserve but it has about twice
the alcohol content of most beers so I'd figure as a "designer" beer
it's costs more than most. However in most every case the price of
alcoholic beverages has to do with packaging/advertising and not a
whit to do with actual quality. Madison Avenue is expert in training
people into prefering what they're selling regardless the value.
In most all cases people prefer the brands they grew up with

I keep some cheapo beer in my basement fridge (Genesee Ale), primarily
for cooking and if I have a beer drinking guest. I use beer for
braising beef stews/pot roast, I think beer is much better than wine
for cooking beef.

Sauerkraut or any cabbage dish.
Basic cereal like Cheerios or Bran Flakes.

Really strong coffee.

I drink two large mugs of really strong coffee every morning (black no
sugar), does nothing to my digestive system, but it does make me pee.
Prune juice with vodka is a good pile driver...

Sheldon, your body is probably used to your coffee drinking; mine isn't. I just drink a medium
roast decaf. If my system needs a nudge, I drink dark-roasted decaf.

Sorry, folks, TMI.

It should be noted that the top selling beers are mostly lite beers.
Canadians pride themselves in having better beer than the US, but the
sales show the same thing.... lite beers.

I read that beer sales are down in the US, I think even lite beer has gotten so it's too strong for the girly men.

Molson Coors sales are down. Part if it is the result of lowered
production and the slow roll out of their new ordering system. They are
also blaming the weather. It was a long, cold winter and spring. Now
that it is hot beer sales are booming.

If you've driven drunk you for sure have been in a car with a drunk driver.

My wife's mom was in a car that was driven by a drunk person. Heck, she could have been driving. My guess is that everybody in the car was drunk. Back in those days, the designated driver was the person that was still able to get the keys in the ignition. Anyway, there was my wife's mom, one other married guy, and a married couple in the car - when they drove off a cliff.

This was in Montana back in the late 50's. They had big families back then so, near as I can figure, the number of kids that lost a parent or both parents approached 20. The rest is history - very likely of the worst kind.
