Doctor Congo is 91 today

I'd love to hear about this, too. This is some history that very few Americans know anything about, including me. I don't know much about what went on in Africa with the Europeans, other than little bits. I know a lot of nasty shit went down, though. I had a Dutch boss whose twin brother was in the French Foreign Legion and he said things went on that were too terrible to even talk about. One of my favorite films is the Battle of Algeirs. Another subject I'd like to know more about.

Sure you are mate, sure you are....

Wishing you a very happy birthday from rural SE Ohio, neighbor.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Am getting ready to feed the horses, probably get to see the sun come up too. It would have been nice to get some of that promised rain, but I need to move hay today.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday doctor Congo. When did the tribulation start from your perspective?

Re-post of what I think contributed to being healthy at my age:

My rules for living longer:

-Low carbs, lots of fresh stuff from the garden.
-One meal each day needs to be a big salad. Except Sunday.
-At least once each week just eat for a three hour period.
-Feast every Sunday.
-Keep moving, don't sit too much. I get a lot of exercise from walking with Ginger Granny and from my gardening.
-Be grounded, I almost always barefoot.
-Don't use aluminum or nonstick cookwear.
-Always have a plan for the next year
-Keep your mind active, I research conspiracies and do Sudokus.
-Be kind to your colon. Eat lots of roughage.
-Every now and then learn a new activity that will create some new nerve pathways in the brain. This year I tried to learn how to play the piano but I'm hopeless, music is beyond me.
-When you are young you should do some long distance running to get your heart big and strong. Lifting weights will help your bones to grow thick. Always eat enough. I see too many young girls today that have a cylindrical rib cages, that's not healthy.

But in the end genetics rule. Watch Hogans Heroes and look at General Burkhalter, that obese fellow lived to be 99. Adrenachrome might have been part of that though.
