Question for keto singles

(Laurie) #41

I’ve certainly felt that way; in fact I’ve used those very words!

Painkillers suck when you need them on the regular, so much.

#thingscarlsays

OK, so this justaposition is amusing…

Not sure if that’s a compliment, a backhand or a backhanded compliment. :stuck_out_tongue:

“l hope that one day l’ll find happiness again but this involves a bit of dating first”
No, it does not, happiness comes from within.

Juice … buddy … nothing, I repeat NOTHING is better than The Young Ones. I mean, how can you beat dialogue ike this:

“I’m not really foreign, you know. I just do it to appear more sophisticated. I mean, nobody’d buy Evian water if it was called Blackburn water, would they? Nobody’d wear Kicker boots if they were made in Scunthorpe! Abba? Abba, Swedish? I knew then when they were a Lancashire clog dancing trio! Arthur, Betty, Boris and Angela! Solzhenitsyn, Solzhenitsyn? A former pipe-fitter welder from Harrogate!”

My wife says I was more fun when I was a fat drunk. Ha!

In Keto terms, if you are relying on an on anther to bring you happiness, may as well eat sugar by the mug full.

Now we know why people try to sabotage our keto and weight loss efforts!

No, no. I LOVE the Young Ones. LOVE THEM. (Except for Mike, his character NEVER worked.)

VYVYAN: I’ve finished the new car competition. I’m gonna win a Ford Tippex any minute.

[RICK enters, stuffing his shirt into his pants. He sits down.]

VYVYAN: It’s quite easy really. All you gotta do is match up six pictures of famous noses with six pictures of famous bogies.

[The only reaction to this is Rick examining his own eye jam.]

VYVYAN: Thought that’d shock you. Well, it’s not true, because then, then you gotta say in ten words what cornflakes mean to you. So I put: “Cornflakes. Cornflakes. Cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes… cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes, cornflakes.”

RICK: Pathetic. You’ll never win, Vyvyan.

VYVYAN: Why not?

RICK: It’s only nine words.

VYVYAN: Oh yeah. Corn … flakes.

But one of the things about it was that it was variable (see above Mike example).

FT, OTOH, was pure spun gold from start to finish.

[Leaves readers to recall the conversation between basil and the Major about cricket v India, not quoted here due to political sensitivities.]

But, also from the SAME episode, the best bit of television in the history of television.

Juice –

I know you absolutely LOVE The Young Ones. I’m just rattling your cage.

In college, there was a serious drinking race where you ran a mile and stopped to chug a beer at six bars around campus. Then there was the other race where teams dressed up and spent 6-8 hours at the third or fourth bar.

My senior year (the second of my two senior years) my friends and I went as The Young Ones. I wanted to go as Vyvyan and wield a frying pan. But I looked a lot like Mike and got stuck going as him. That sucked.

However, as part of my Mike character, I made a button that read “Advocate of Unrestricted Capitalism.” A young lady came up to me about 25 beers into that evening and asked me what my button said, even though it was a college town and my button was written in plain English.

One thing led to another and I ended up taking her home and shagging her. So, you’re wrong again, the Mike character really does work!

Exactly, I met my late husband in a bar back when you weren’t supposed to meet people in bars. We were together for a lifetime… unfortunately his life was cut short thanks to the gd cancer, so we only lasted for his lifetime. Cancer sucks! That’s one reason I’m keto.

#55

Haha, yes, this totally happens :smiley:

Still fun though

Oops Sorry @Chipmunk

Definitely agree that nothing external should affect your happiness. Happiness is a state of mind; a choice. You can be mourning but still be happy; just as you can be laughing but be profoundly unhappy. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there, other than to say that be happy BEFORE you date :slight_smile:

@juice - I see what you were getting at; but despite my “the cheater” moniker, keto is the only thing I cheat on. I know there’re some who push to call it a free day or some other euphemism, but I figured I’d just own it. It’s cheating. I don’t care. I’m still ultra-successful in my health and weight-loss due to keto in spite of regular cheat days :slight_smile:
