It's just not part of the culture, but you know that. If you really want a laugh, order a salad in 99 percent of Mexican restaurants.<br /><br />My sister-in-law, years ago, was invited to the home of a Gringo for dinner. The main course was a big salad. She later told my wife that ... all the vegetables were raw! She couldn't wrap her mind around the notion.<br /><br />You might consider buying a gym set from Liverpool or Sears. I'm talking about the full ride that has lots of options. I got one about six years back, and I use it regularly. Most people would not, of course, but I do. <br /><br />It's a great thing to have, but only if you use it regularly.Michael Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672834250325632231.post-36342590188013409752017-10-17T10:06:47.543-05:002017-10-17T10:06:47.543-05:00Deborah: I plead guilty to a charge of double-talk...Deborah: I plead guilty to a charge of double-talking when it comes to animals. I really care for them and it turns my stomach to see a truck full of pigs and chickens on the way to the slaughterhouse. Yet they remain on my diet. I admire your commitment to vegetarianism (for whatever reasons, humane or health-related). Stew and I have talked about it but then say, nah, it's too complicated, especially at restaurants. I think in a bigger city like Chicago or San Francisco where you have more options, it would be easier. Any suggestions how you and your spousal unit (like that phrase!) handle it here in San Miguel?<br /><br />Thanks.

She's also getting more steady on her feet, and has also lost a few pounds. <br /><br />Where you are (out in the country, in Mexico), I'd <i><b>highly recommend</b></i> getting into and staying in shape, or you'll have to move some place you don't like eventually. <br /><br />Congrats on taking the first step.

I like to call myself sleek or svelte. In 1980, I weighed 225. I took it off and kept it off. I'd love to have a bicycle now, but due to peculiarities of the location of my house, it's not practical. Pity. <br /><br />"Diets" are lousy idea. Just eat better and get moderate exercise. And keep doing that the rest of your life.Michael Dicksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01720359542700663699noreply@blogger.com
