MAYBE THE GENTLEMAN PICTURED ABOVE SHOULD GO GOLFING. ( CADDY IS REFLECTED IN THE GLASSES) HERE ARE SOME TRUE GOLF FACTS TO LIVE BY:

These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow.~ Sam Snead
I was three over today: One over a house, one over a patio and one over a swimming pool.~ George Brett

Actually, the only time I ever took out a one-iron was to kill a tarantula. And I took a 7 to do that.~ Jim Murray
The only sure rule in golf is - he who has the fastest cart never has to play the bad lie.~ Mickey Mantle

Sex and golf are the two things you can enjoy even if you're not good at them.~ Kevin Costner

I don't fear death, but I sure don't like those three-footers for par.
After all these years, it's still embarrassing for me to play on the American golf tour. Like the time I asked my caddie for a sand wedge and he came back ten minutes later with a ham on rye.
~ Chi Chi Rodriguez

The ball retriever is not long enough to get my putter out of the tree.~ Brian Weis
Swing hard in case you hit it.
~ Dan Marino
My favorite shots are the practice swing and the conceded putt. The rest can never be mastered
.~ Lord Robertson
Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.~ Jack Benny

There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.~ Ben Hogan

Professional golf is the only sport where, if you win 20% of the time, you're the best.~ Jack Nicklaus

The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf. It's almost a law.~ H. G. Wells

I never pray on a golf course. Actually, the Lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course.~ Billy Graham

If you watch a game, it's fun.   If you play at it, it's recreation.  If you work at it, it's golf.~ Bob Hope

While playing golf today, I hit two good balls.  I stepped on a rake.
~ Henny Youngman

If you think it's hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
~ Jack Lemmon

You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives.  Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.
I'm not saying my golf game went bad, but if I grew tomatoes, they'd come up sliced.
~ Lee Trevino

That has never happened. Should I be worried? I tried using the specific URL for the post and got this::Sorry, the page you were looking for in the blog MY QUALITY TIME does not exist.

“10 New Ways to Eat Well”

Good news if you love potatoes like I do. A My Quality Time post from Lancaster,Ohio

  WIKIMEDIA

“The boring, old rules of healthy eating are landing on the scrap heap as new research uncovers the intricate ways nutrients work within our bodies. The result? Some surprising shifts in what should really be on our plates – and more food flexibility and fun as well. Here are 10 things you might not have known about eating well:” Click on above photo to read more.

In my life today the two main worries are Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. I am not diabetic at this time but does run in the family. If I eat right and loose about 30 pounds/exercise I think the high blood pressure will be taken care of. The article “10 New Ways to Eat Well” addresses these concerns. The photo below is what I try to eat/drink/take on a daily basis.

framed1

I skip alcohol in any form (I never was a moderate drinker) but I do love my dark chocolate in moderation. (helps with blood pressure regulation). B12 daily with Folic acid a couple times a week. (B12 is very poorly absorbed in the GI tract and Folic acid must be present for the B12 to be useful to the body). An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Q10 and Vitamin D (blood pressure). Banana  high in potassium. Yogurt & a Probiotic. ( in my opinion a good probiotic supplement needs refrigeration). I recently switched from diet soft drinks to diet green tea ( I have always read healthy reports about green tea but not necessarily so concerning soft drinks).

frame2

 Last, but not least Fish Oil (omega3). If you want to learn more about Omega3 read “The Zone”. “The full title of this book is 'Enter The Zone' - a dietary road map to: lose weight permanently, reset your genetic code, prevent disease, achieve maximum physical performance and enhance mental productivity. The author is Dr. Barry Sears Phd. Doctor Sears is a pioneer in biotechnology, developing drug delivery systems for cancer and heart patients and holds 12 patents for cancer treatments and dietary control of hormonal responses.” Click on the Fish Oil photo to read more. ( The Zone helped my golf game and stock trading)

JOETODDSAYS210 Thanks for stopping by. I hope the above info was helpful. IMPORTANT: Diabetes & High Blood Pressure are serious diseases. Always—Always consult a physician. Now, I have to put away my “photo Display” before Linda wakes up. I don’t think she knows about my stash of Hershey Dark Chocolate. LOL

P.S. If your interested in buying the book “Enter The Zone” go ahead and shop from the Amazon widget on this blog. I might make a dime… I’ll leave with a beach photo from Hilton Head Island.

I hope you had a cup of “Joe” while reading this. Sounds like it might be better for you than what was once thought.

Harold's Diner in Hilton Head, South Carolina

“THIS IS NOT BURGER KING YOU DON’T GET IT YOUR WAY. YOU TAKE IT MY WAY, OR YOU DON’T GET THE DAMN THING.”

MY QUALITY TIME AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND

Linda and I are back from our trip to the beach and after all the rain in Ohio seven days of SUN in Hilton Head, South Carolina was wonderful. Just as wonderful was a “New Find” for us “HAROLD’S DINER.” 641 William Hilton Parkway, Hilton Head Island SC 29928 (map)
843-842-9292. A REAL DINER WITH ATTITUDE.

harolds

Do you see the reflections of all the cars? Yes, the front parking lot was full. If you're new to the place, beware—there's a good chance you'll get yelled at. Linda (my wife) and I walked in, Harold looked at us and said to me “GLAD YOU BROUGHT YOUR DAUGHTER.” LOL .

sorry The diner is tiny. About a dozen stools line the counter, and about eight more seats with  small tables line the opposite wall. Just looking at their wall is an experience:

beersexA visit to Harold's means setting you diet aside and enjoying the amazing hamburgers and hot dogs served with hand-cut french fries and onion rings. enjoy the crazy bumper stickers and signs and don't forget to read "the rules" for ordering. Bring cash because they don't take credit cards. The guys that run the place try to act mad if you don't follow "the rules" but they don't do it very well - it just makes them more endearing. Food and humor go great together!” Visit Trip Advisor for more info.

“Harold’s Diner is an exception .  Harold’s does not have a website.  They do not advertise. The only Internet notes you will find about them (other than rave reviews by regular diners) is a small notation that they have the “Best burger on the island”. READ MORE

Linda and I love Harold's, and would recommend the experience and the food to all our friends. We are sorry we didn’t get to try their breakfast.

“Their motto: 'Eat here, or we both will starve' says it all!

Don't take the staff's comments personally it is part of the "floor show".
