I am sure for most collecting movie posters is a relaxing hobby, do you have others?

I ride a road bike, 2+ hours of desperately sucking air into lungs really takes your mind off the world...

    I did rather one you posted recently with the woman eating at an open window....  Looks like it came from a magazine!

    I liked that one too...

    I know a lot of members are either amateur or professional photographer and perhaps it'd be cool to have a section for member's photography but I'm pretty sure Dario would 'own' it (and us) 
    :P
  • DarioDario
    Haha, Thanks Dave!

    I don't know if I am that good. Just really enjoy walking around with camera and shoot everyday life.

    Well I would be all for a Photog section. I would be fun and it would break up the O'so ever passionate paper talk, which is fine with me.

    Best,
    dario.
  • DarioDario
    This one?
  • DavidDavid
    Yup that one, very cool.
  • DarioDario
    I was parked and waiting for jojo in the car.She had to get something at a store round the corner.

    I spotted this potential shoot. So with camera in the lap, I rolled down the window and snap!

    This what I like a bout street shooting. So spontaneous and sometime you only get few seconds.

    So a bit of luck and a good eyeball.

    Best,
    dario.

    For me it had a 'French' feel about it - but like all art everyone takes something different from them

    I piddle doing all the things that need to be piddled with.  As the Hausfrau, I'm the CEO of cleaning, cooking and bottlewashing, cat wrangling, making groceries, car mechanic, fixer of broken stuff, fixing stuff I broke while fixing, lawnboy and general jack of all trades and master of none. Latest project was landscaping two flower beds by the back patio, left side for herbs and the right for flowers.  Next up is constructing a dvd/bookcase for the insanely fast growing pile of movies. After that, what ever comes down the pike.
    And sometimes I get to torture the guitar and annoy my neighbors.

    Mighty personal there David.

    Use metric, will sound bigger - I'm easily impressed...

    Diet research...  I am now convince that carbohydrates are killing us all.








  • DavidDavid
    Carbs, amongst other things..

    My diet for the last six months:
    • Cut out/down sugar, used to have 2 sugars per cup of coffee (6-8 per day), now use a natural sweetener or nothing if it is a bought one. All other foods I check carefully how much sugar is in it - it's been an eye opening exercise
    • Don't drink soft drink - except Coke Zero.
    • Haven't had fast food for six months, Maccas, Colonel etc
    • Drink alcohol only Fri-Sat-Sun and/or if we are out to dinner (previously a half to a bottle of wine each night).
    • No White At Night. No carbs, no bread, potato, rice, pasta etc after lunch.
    • Back on the bike
    • Back at the gym
    Lost 8 kgs/17.5lbs in six months (6kg/13lbs in the first 3 months) and 3 notches on my belt.

    Way to go David.  I gave up sugar several years ago and moved to a high protein/low carb diet about the same time.  Did wonders for my HDLs and LDLs.
  • DavidDavid
    Hard work the low carb diet - I love pasta. Have to carbo-load at lunch now.

    And I have no idea what an HDL or LDL is...wearable art?
  • lynaronlynaron
    Good and bad cholesterol.

    I've been on LCHF for three weeks this coming Friday... I found these videos and others and just went <20 carbs/day right away.  I've maintained ketosis for the entire time. I immediately dropped 8lbs (mostly water), gained back 4 week two (guessing water redistribution), and have been dropping a pound or so every few days.  Down 8lbs this AM.  My clothes are fitting much nicer and my tummy that use to hang out has flattened considerably.  Other things:

    • I find that I am full and hardly hungry unless I go long times without eating.
    • After the first week I don't crave sugar at all. I do get pings of interest when I see them in front of me.
    • I no longer have that boredom hunger, which I imagine is due to blood sugar fluctuation.  
    • I feel like I am thinking better.  
    • I worked all day to finish off tiling my kitchen and still had energy to BBQ that evening.  Before I would have just crashed on the couch and ordered a pizza.
    • Although, I think it also changed some of my idiosyncrasies.  I often would try to find other things to do instead of eating like play on the forum, mess with posters.  I find that in as little as three weeks my appetite for this busy work is much less.
    • My teeth became less sensitive, presumably from the lock of sugar presence.
    • I feel I am more disciplined all around.  Cleaning the house finishing what I start etc.
    I have been saying to my friends and family for years that one day sugar will be considered an addictive substance.  They have proven that to be true.  I also like that if you look at the history of man 99% of it were without the fructose and refined starches.  Obesity has tripled in the US to 33% of the nation since 1984.  

    I just don't think humans were designed for the food we are eating.  There is also a comparison to sun exposure.  Some people are built to digest carbohydrates, some are very sensitive to it.

    This is a very true, well said.

    Keep at it Charlie
