I'm built like a fire hydrant. It's my grandmother's fault. I am built just the way she was. She died 6 days before her 96th birthday. Not so sure I want to fiddle with that. Besides, Scots have always had difficulty with Catholicism, so writing the Pope would not be viewed as appropriate. Especially by the Catholics. Happy New Year, David. Give it up and just enjoy the carbs, Veggie season comes soon enough.
LOL! I share the same problem. I try to lose weight, but it always finds me! I love winter foods - the cookies, candies, tree-shaped iced vanilla cakes, soups, meatloaves, etc. I'm not fond of vegetables, generally. I do love corn, but I could never, ever be a vegan or vegetarian! When I tried to get more veggies into my diet, I was rewarded with diarrhea, so that effort ended real quick! Too much roughage! That roughage was rough! As for the calendar, the real reason Pompilius added the two months was that the older Roman calendar only contained 304 days and got out of sync with the seasons, which confused farmers and a lot of other people, so he added 50 days. That brought it up to 354, which was still way off, so Julius Caesar revised the calendar again in his day, keeping it fairly accurate by adding a leap year every four years. Even his fix was inadequate, so Pope Gregory made a correction in 1582 by eliminating 10 whole days to bring the calendar back into sync with the seasons. So, a Pope WAS involved with fixing the calendar! As I see it, I don't think Pope Francis is going to go along with your idea, David. I sincerely hope that no one really writes to him about it. He's old, and he's busy. At best, he might have a good laugh! Anyway, I like the calendar the way it is, and I have accepted my own porkiness as my fate. Maybe you should, too? LOL! It was a fun read! Happy New Year!
Ha ha ha ha... thank you. 😁
So good. Love to smile…xc
I laughed my One-Too-Many-Doberge-Sized Ass off. Brilliant! "Double chin up" I literally guffawed out loud. Thanks for the cheer!
You've done it again! Love your posts, they're the funniest thing out there (here?). XO from Paris, where Isigny crème fraiche is calling your name.
A wonderful hilarious post, I love your writing

Do you have the Pope’s number? I prefer to text.
This makes very very good sense.

My weight problems started in Greece and Germany. You keep me laughing, David!
Thanks for the chuckles.
Buon appetito!
In solidarity, David.
You put a smile in my day. Lol
Then, I'm doing my job, Ana!
