August 11, 2011 Tuesday #breakfast#fatsoul#morefat#badchild#good history

Get Fit
Now the debate is whether to eat breakfast or not.  The latest study showed that people that don't eat breakfast lose more weight.  But is it healthy?  I would have to sleep till noon to not eat breakfast and then just start with lunch.  Is that what they are talking about?  I admit - when I was younger, out all night and sleep till noon - I was much thinner.  What do you think?


Get Faith
Proverbs 13:4   The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.  The writer says "Where parents do too much for their children, the children will not do much for themselves."  Guilty, but I do that for everyone that I can, not just my daughter.  Do you do too much for your family? Is it making me fat?


On this day;
1986 - Who doesn't like Big Boy restaurants?  Mom and I took Nicole there for lunch, she was two.  There was a Big Boy at 9 and Jefferson forever but, it was sold.  We still have one at Vernier and Mack and also at 9 and Gratiot.  I remember when I was young the one at Grand River and Greenfield and the one out on Telegraph.  Some of them had drive-ins.  Which one did you go to?  Now I want a Slim Jim.  (for lunch)


Parenting
On the same subject, they were talking about how they had sent home letters to parents whose children were obese, suggesting they alter their diet.  School lunches can't satisfy those kids.  What do you suppose happened?  Did the parents respond?  Did the kids lose weight?  No. Do you think the parents were thin?  I wonder if they ate breakfast and if so, what did they eat? 


Come Get These Memories of the Sixties
     I would already be in bed when Grandma would come down the hall and put on her nightgown in the light from the hall, not to wake me up.  She was older and on the heavy side so it took her a while to move around and find her clothes and hang up her dress and I would pretend to sleep while watching through mostly closed eyes.  When she would turn off the hall light and carefully find her way to the bed and lie down and pull up the covers, I would burst out laughing.
Netherlands Holland
The prehistory of the area that is now the Netherlands was largely shaped by the sea and the rivers that constantly shifted the low-lying geography. The oldest human (Neanderthal) traces in the Netherlands were found in higher soils, near Maastricht, from 250,000 years ago. After the end of the Ice Age, various Paleolithic groups inhabited the area, and around 8000 BC Mesolithic tribes resided in Friesland and Drenthe, where the oldest canoe in the world was recovered.[26] Autochthonous hunter-gatherers from the Swifterbant culture are attested from around 5600 BC onwards.[27] They are strongly linked to rivers and open water and were related to the southern Scandinavian Ertebølle culture (5300–4000 BC). To the west, the same tribes might have built hunting camps to hunt winter game. People made the switch to animal husbandry sometime between 4800 BC and 4500 BC. Agricultural transformation took place very gradually, between 4300 BC and 4000 BC.[28] The farming Funnelbeaker culture extended from Denmark through northern Germany into the northern Netherlands, and erected the dolmens, large stone grave monuments found in Drenthe (built between 4100 BC and 3200 BC). To the southwest, the Vlaardingen culture (around 2600 BC), an apparently more primitive culture of hunter-gatherers survived well into the Neolithic period. Around 2950 BC there was a quick and smooth transition from the Funnelbeaker farming culture to the pan-European Corded Ware pastoralist culture.[29] The Bell Beaker culture was also present in the Netherlands, that apparently arose out of the Corded Ware culture.[30][31]
This is a well documented area back to ancient times.  Interesting history.


Enjoy the Day!  Make it Memorable!  Happy Birthday Brett! Pat!
