My latest journey involves a musical group called Postmodern Jukebox. They re-arrange popular songs in completely different and older styles. The first one that I saw was Def Leppard's Pour Some Sugar on Me done in a 1960s early soul style. That led me to Shania Twain's Man! I Feel Like a Woman! in a 1950s Marilyn Monroe style and Kiss's I Was Made For Lovin' You in a spaghetti western style (with an incredible singer). They have hundreds (literally) of songs that they've redone in jazz, soul, swing, doo-wop, R&B...you name it. They've done songs from Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Lizzo, Spice Girls, Blondie, ELO, The Police, Pearl Jam, Taylor Swift, Huey Lewis, U2, Rihanna...the list goes on and on. If you're looking to kill some time watching some very talented musicians, their main YouTube page is here. Don't say that I didn't warn you. 😁 I never heard of this group before.I listened to some of it last night.It was really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for asking.........Doing pretty good I think lost about 12 pounds. My Doctor put me on meds. Metformin HCL 500 MG Tablets, twice a day. Been cutting out just about all sugar and carbs. It's amazing how much better I feel.........except for some pants falling off me. lol I go back for a blood test in late June to see where I'm at compared to last time.

Jimbo Posted April 23 #119759 Share Posted April 23 (edited) Do however have a cheat night every now and then. Made homemade Pizza the other night on our outside grill. Heats up to about 550 degrees, cooks the pizza super fast, in just under 5 minutes. Edited April 23 by Jimbo 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a1c issues but I definitely need to cut down on carbs. The problem is I love pasta, potatoes and bread items. I try to avoid white carbs and eat multi-grain breads. I have not yet found a pasta I like other than traditional. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great news on all fronts. I have some jeans like the ones you have described after losing 20 lbs. sounds like you should have good news in June too. 11 hours ago, Jimbo said: Do however have a cheat night every now and then. Made homemade Pizza the other night on our outside grill. Lisa’s DR doesn’t like the words cheat night, as it is a negative connotation. The likes the term reward night as you have been good all week. It’s the term we use in this house. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted April 23 #119767 Share Posted April 23 Reward night sounds much better! I think I will have one tonight, having our favorite Joe and Pats pizza(for those who know J&P) and maybe swap out vodka for a glass of Pinot Grigio! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted April 23 Author #119769 Share Posted April 23 10 days of "nail biting" and emotional roller coaster ended today. After the last week Iranian attack upon Israel, most of the airlines cancelled, again, their flights. DS2 was supposed to arrive for the Passover holiday Saturday, the 20th. Rental car with 48 hours free cancellation. Checking with the airline early Thursday (18th) -- the flight is a "go". Friday morning "we" retaliate (who thought to attack Iran a couple of days before the Passover, with the risk of returning everyone of us to the shelters again??? no answer from "above")..... In no time at all, DS2's flight was cancelled. The airline agreed to reroute them via Paris. He counts himself lucky... Friends of his, who already checked their bags Friday morning, were rerouted via.... Abu Dhabi, spending the night flying East in order to get West. BTW, the rental were very understanding and waived the cancellation fee. Finally, we were reunited with our grands late this afternoon. What a huge relief and joy !! Mark @h20skibum -- what a beautiful party. Well done, so glad your granddaughter enjoyed every minute of it. @DaniDanielle -- hopefully Charlie is better and you're taking care of yourself too. @aussielozzie18 -- aussie, as usual, your pics are stunning.
