I started doing no seeds, on Saturday. Two days of low fiber and then 1 day of clear liquids.. Hubby is out and about and will get some canned something..canned veggies is not our norm! I found some squash ravioli pasta in the freezer that I will make tonight.. . I have applesauce, saving it for snack if I need it. Fish, mashed potatoes and mashed carrots tomorrow night is my menu. Was going for something different tonight. I had a colonoscopy (GI bleed) a month ago. That’s when they found the polyps, but they didn’t want to remove them at that time as to confuse the bleeding issue. This split prep is obnoxious. 5 years ago I did the Miralax, gaterade prep and it was intense, but not a big deal. No food restrictions prior to the day of the prep. I was told come back in 10 years, but my baby sister passed in January from colon cancer. I am thankful the GI bleed happened and the polyps were found. Now I just want them gone.

Thanks. That’s my thought ,but I was seeing conflicting info. I am feeling nauseated from white bread turkey sandwich for lunch. ( too much coffee as well) I don’t eat this way normally! Trying to figure out a side for pasta…

I would call The Corner Record Shop in Grandville. I don’t think they buy or sell comic books, etc, but maybe they can point you in the right direction.

Having finished 2 8x8 albums for our youngest granddaughter , I am working on another photo album. 2016 we had our “family” photographer spend an afternoon with our whole big family. He had done 2 of our kids weddings, and several family photo shoots for us, so we were all very comfortable just hanging out with him. The plan was to just play with the grands kids the way we just hang out and goof off. We have moved so this album is now loaded with memories . Highlights are the “grandpa built” sandbox, , grandpas pedal cart he gave them all rides around the neighborhood, hanging out in the apple tree they all loved to climb, and blowing giant bubbles. At that time we had 12 grands, ages 13 to 6 weeks. It was a joyful fun day. We have one last granddaughter who arrived several years later, but she was there for a few years before we all moved and I am including a photo of her with grandpa by the firepit. It did rain, so the fire pit didn’t happen that day. But we tried to catch all the things the grands all love about that back yard.

I received plain white corelle for a wedding gift, 48 years ago. I thought the green blue etc were ugly too. I have replaced my original white with the scalloped edge white. I add color to my table with serving dishes and cloth napkins. For kids, get the corelle. It works great,

If I am microwaving a plate, I slide it onto a pad as I am removing it. I usually put a bowl on top of a plate when heating. The plate doesn’t get hot around the edges as no food is touching there.

My son in law got them last year I think after after several months of double vision. He’s never worn glasses. Eye Dr told him he likely always had double vision, but his brain? ( not sure what he says) was tired and couldn’t deal with it any more. He is in his mid 40s.

My sister passed a month ago. We(family)wanted to save her posts of meditations she wrote weekly the last 2 years. 2 of my siblings did, but I believe they had to cut and paste. My brother put them in PDF form so we can orient them out. I plan to put them in some kind of sleeves in an album.

I would have him checked.

I can do 10 cups of flour at a time, which makes 6 loaves of bread. I make a friend h bread recipe my mom wrote, but I grind my own wheat berries and add multi grain cereal…so it’s decently healthy with very little white bread flour in it. I don’t recall have it walk around ever. I agree something might be off kilter with yours, or maybe the dough was just unbalanced that time.

I just finished The Maid, by Nita Prose. Enjoyed it. Just wanted a break from my usual.

I have used it for large (5#] batches of meatloaf for the freezer, and larger batches of cookies..etc. Whipping cream, cake, Etc, the old hand mixer comes out. I have no room for KA. They are much Cuter tho!

I wonder why ATK didn’t review the Bosch. They did several years back, but they set aside it being a workhouse and claimed it didn’t do small batches well..like a cake, or whipping cream, therefore they didn’t recommend it. At least that’s how I remember it.

I had a roll out shelf cabinet built and and just lifted it to my counter when I wanted to use it.

I use a Norwex mop , but any microfiber mop would work well. I then use a hand vac to pick up the “pile”.

Downsizing and the cost of hanging on to items, esp large items

Do you know about Love Your Neighbor ( formerly Love Inc) in Hudsonville. They have a building just for medical equipment, which as I understand they loan out for free. When we moved 2.5 years ago, after our moving/furniture sale, we donated a trailer load to them. They will do a pickup if you have enough stuff , but I don’t know if you’re in their pick up route. Give them a call! -

Nope! They are part of most of my immediate family gatherings. My DIL adores them, so between her and myself, they show up. My son’s in-laws have a cottage on a lake where the owners all get together every Sunday for brunch all summer long. J says Mom, I love your deviled eggs! He has eaten every kind of deviled eggs there are recipes for…he doesn’t want avocado or shrimp or whatever else people are adding..just the Mayo, mustard, S&P ones that I make.

I’m sorry, this just stinks. It sounds like the virus I had in December . For 2.5/weeks I ran a low grade temp but other symptoms were as you described. Eventually it settled into my ears and even my teeth hurt. I did go on an antibiotic and used Bromax to help clear the crud out of my ears. I would take the Monday appointment but consider UC if symptoms get worse. Blowing yellow is not a symptom I had, but I would have gotten in sooner if I did.

Straight Mayo and sugar is just too sweet. I usually add apple cider vinegar and far less sugar than most recipes call for. Adding in some parm sound delish!

We inherited some money and after paying off the mortgage in one of our small rental homes, we went to Hawaii! We loved it so much we went on our 30 and our 35th. We are closing in our 50th next year. Maybe we’ll get there again.
