Best Lifestyle! Coffee, Cigars And Sex!

[Videoskooter]

A study on old people in Cuba has revealed some amazing results. If you want to live long and in good health, follow thes rules (and I know that some will hate me for this but it's proven).

-eat lots of eggs, cheese, vegetables, garlic (!) and no salt (I do)!
-drink gallons of coffee (I do) and little or no Alcohol (I do)
-smoke cigars (I do sometimes but mainly cigarettes)
-have lots of sexual activity ( )
-live a daily rhythm!

As I've followed these rules for years, there's a fair chance that you will not get rid of me for a long time :-o

So, Hollywoodian "healthgurus" with all your sports and pills and daffodils: kiss my tralala!!!!!

And singalong with moi on ze German Disco ja:

-eat lots of eggs, cheese, vegetables, garlic (!) and no salt - Plenty of veges in my diet.
-drink gallons of coffee (I do) and little or no Alcohol (I do) - If you include Coke(caffeine), then I get plenty.
-smoke cigars (I do sometimes but mainly cigarettes) - I don't smoke :-o
-have lots of sexual activity - But of course. This is a age reverser
-live a daily rhythm! - I'm with that.

Looks like I be keeping you company Johan.

Remmy, my dear and beloved sweetie,

in Belgium everybody is covered by health insurance, even the ones that can't afford it, we are envied all over Europe for our health care system.

Extra, read all about it: http://www.expatica.com/actual/artic...&story_id=1493

But...it was achieved without having a dictator ruling us, without communism, without negligence of human rights, without censorship of the press and without a junta.

It was created by Christian-Democrats, caring conservatives and the holy church :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen: :icon_mrgreen:

Excuse-moi :icon_twisted:

Remmy, click this link and your life will change:

Hahaha, Thats why we exiles here in Miami have been sending millions in medicine every year to our families for 45 years.

Why is cheese good for you? Surely it's better to eat white meat & nuts for one's protein intake? I don't like cheese & have always gloated because i believed it was full of fat & bad for your health!:-?

Hi Dave.
You are right about the cheese, but its a weakness of mine. I adore it (especially the blue cheeses)

That's too bad it's that way Mixmachine.
But honestly , do you think that's the way Castro wants it for his people .... do you think he purposely chooses for the people to not have these medicines ?
.....Or is this the fault of the US ... and what happens when you're a small country that goes against the design of such a big neighbor that wants to rule the ... I mean spread democracy everywhere ......

REmicks, I think you are both very naive and very un-informed on this issue.

Medicines have never been part of the embargo, and Cuba can now for the last few years even buy food stock in the USA, they need to buy in the US now everything we had plenty of before.(Rice. Beans, Chicken, Wheat)

In any case the Embargo (basically symbolic) is not the 'cause of Cuba's problems, it is the failed system, Europeans and Canadians have been investing billions in Cuba for decades to help "OPEN UP" the system, (same argument used here by those that want to remove the embargo ), this approach has been an absolute failure both economically and politically , Castro is more entrenched than ever and could care less what anyone says, (Check on recent crackdown on Dissidents despite UN concerns) and many of this Europeans investor lost their money as the Castro government confiscated their investments and/or reneged on the original deals.

Some Italians and Spaniards investors are stock in courts fighting to salvage what they can, as well as the Canadians, I hope they loose it all for been nothing more than leaches sucking on the last drop of blood of the enslave Cuban people.(Italians go to Cuba to buy off our desperate young Cuban women for a pair of jeans as the Canadians and others do as well):evil::evil:

Castro is (was very soon) only interested in staying in power and playing Politics in the same field with the Superpowers of the world (tell me what Biz a small country like Cuba had to get involved in the cold war or send thousands to die in Africa for instance) He thinks that 45 year of backbreaking poverty and sacrifice of Cubans is worth it (while he and his cronies live the good life with Millions in the bank) and that the majority that disapproves should be squashed, jailed or pushed out into exile.

Anyone staring down a Cuban street can see the country is in shambles, and the people are desperate, ( many prefer to fight Sharks in the Atlantic) He most of all, but he never cared before, and he’ll die never caring at all, as admitting he is a complete failure will not make a good chapter entry in his biography. (We’ll write that chapter later on!!!)

Mixmachine, You're right this is not a strong subject at all for me. I doubt I have even one thousandth of the reference to it you do , who are so close to it. Thanks for taking the time to lay some of it out.

It still doesn't compute for me why Castro .... or any leader of any type .... would purposefully deny their people access to medicines. What is there to be gained by this ?

Well, they do have medicine just not enough to go around for everyone, ( money is wasted on weapons to fight against the “ invasion” among many other things ) Pharmacies are chronically ill supplied and the average citizens in need of constant medication ( or more efficient one) has to ‘hustle’ in the Black Market to get them or hope their families in exile (if they are lucky to have any) will help them. Sending medicine (and packages of all kinds) to relatives is a huge Business here in Miami.(and full of controversies)

In the Island's interior (out side of Havana and other main cities) things are much worse, since this areas doesn’t received as much attention as priority is shifted to more populated areas.

Cuba has a lot of graduate doctors per capita but for years now they have been “Shopped” around the Americas (and the third world) for hard currency and many Cubans in the Island have recently been vocal with their complains - something many never dared to say before- as the quality of care has suffered tremendously because of the reduction in Doctors numbers which has made an already dire citation even worse. For instance they pulled hundreds of doctors from their posts in the country side and sent them to Venezuelas’ Chavez as pay off for his “free” oil.:evil:

Many good old experienced doctors in the Island also quit their carrier to do other things (Black Market) to be able to survive with any sense of dignity since the majority can’t live on a Doctors’ pay in Cuba, :-(I’ve heard first hand account of Doctor driving a cab or working in Hotels so they can get tips in ‘Dollars’ from the Tourists, many others volunteer to go abroad to be able to bring back something to their families - they are allowed to ship back into the island appliances and Electronics they pick up during their stay abroad - not much else they get for their sacrifice ( they send them to some of the worse places in the world!!:-x) since Castro’s government pays them in Pesos and keep all foreign funds the doctor made abroad.

Many of this doctors are defecting from Africa to Venezuela, this brave young Cubans (sons of the “Revolution” mind you:roll:) not only have to be able to avoid Cuban intelligence goons to escape but they need to survive the host governments actions too, since this Governments don’t want to look bad in the eyes of Castro ( they get cheap educated professional doctors at a bargain) and if they get a chance will ship this discontented defectors back to Cuba without granting asylum..

This Defectors unusually escape (smuggled) to neighboring countries , in one recent case in Africa they were caught and thrown in jail for weeks as families worried about what had happened to them, this couple only escape because exiles here in the US found out and warned/contacted our congress people in Washington and they in turn immediately contacted the UN, which demanded to visit the prisoners and even accompanied them out during the flight to Europe, Cuban intelligence goons will do what ever it takes to take them back to the hell hole and keep them from telling their story(ies)to the world, they’ve since married here in Miami and are working in the Health Industry. Their escape story has been written about and broadcast around the world, (obviously not enough), I’m sure some Castro intelligence goon is working the coal mines as a result, I hope he rots in there!!!.

You paint a bleak picture of Cuba as it is today Mixmachine. Thanks for taking the time to review it.

I do not want to seem a Castro apologist ...... but still I can't believe this was the vision Castro desired for his people ... all those years ago.

Maybe like me , he was a romantic who thought he could just take over and once having done so, easily change things ... just from the power of such intentions alone. He probably never imagined the degree of resistance he'd have to deal with with the likes of crushing powers like the US. Once you are in power and are confronted with the complexities of a world designed to fit a new world order .......well no doubt he found he had bit off a bit more than he expected to chew .

Maybe the experiences of treason from within ....the distrust even at that level ... hardened him into a ruler that felt it neccessary to rule with this iron fist . Or maybe he was just an ******* all along , simple as that ..........This is something I can't fully reason .... its an unsuccessful tragedy because of a number of causes; the results a failure no matter which way one tries to view it .....

thanks again .....

and you don’t know the half of what goes on in there, believe me, Have you ever seen a Cuban from the Island posting in any forum??.

I do not want to seem a Castro apologist ...... but still I can't believe this was the vision Castro desired for his people ... all those years ago.

He wanted to run an economic experiment with the people of Cuba and He failed, all those that from the very beginning objected were eliminated and the majority left behind have been kept in control under the gun by a minority..

Maybe like me , he was a romantic who thought he could just take over and once having done so, easily change things ... just from the power of such intentions alone. He probably never imagined the degree of resistance he'd have to deal with with the likes of crushing powers like the US. Once you are in power and are confronted with the complexities of a world designed to fit a new world order .......well no doubt he found he had bit off a bit more than he expected to chew

Well, you once again have confirmed my opinion that debating with people in your mind set is a wasted of time. You come from a point of view that America is an evil place and should be destroyed and drastically changed to fit your “Romantic” views, people like me see America as a force of good, you should read carefully again some History books and see who really are/were the crushing powers of the world.

Maybe the experiences of treason from within ....the distrust even at that level ... hardened him into a ruler that felt it necessary to rule with this iron fist . Or maybe he was just an ******* all along , simple as that ..........This is something I can't fully reason .... its an unsuccessful tragedy because of a number of causes; the results a failure no matter which way one tries to view it .....

The only traitor in Cuba is Castro, he betrayed even the ones who fought with him and betrayed the trust the country put on him after the fall of Batista by turning the Island over to the Soviet block and communism, all those that fought against him were executed or pushed into exile (including some naïve American ‘Romantics’).
