I grew up 30 miles east of Bartlesville and was planning on going up there this weekend to go fishing with my dad. But that may be put off for a couple of weeks now. My folks drive to Bartlesville to go shopping at Wal-Mart.:D That is about their only option.

Woolaroc is great. Tulsa has a great zoo and it is on the north side of town.

That is the Sh!t. :D Excellent.

No, I am just a bystander watching the video feed. We just got home and I thought I would check in on Tara to see if anything was happening and there it was. Looked like it was just minutes old. Wish that I could have watched the birth.

There is a baby on the ground!!!!:w00t: What a beautiful foal. Still trying to stand.

She does look uncomfortable. This is so cool.:D I just checked the due dates and Tara isn't due until 4/12. Maybe she is planning on being early.

A good author to read more about the paleo aspect would be Robb Wolf. His book 'The Paleo Solution' is written in terms that I can understand plus he gives you the geek speak on the particulars.

I buy grass fed/grass finished beef from these folks. www.paidom.com I buy a side at a time, wish that I have room for a whole cow. Their prices are very good for the quality of the meat. They make deliveries every two months around Texas. The next delivery is the last weekend of this month.

My sister has had every surgery under the sun to try to get pain relief from her scoliosis. So far nothing has worked. She is surviving on pain killers. I hope that your dd has much better success than my sister.

I found a delicious oil and vinegar dressing that I can handle. I never have been an oil and vinegar fan. This dressing does have sugar in it though. It is Hendrickson's Original Sweet Vinegar & Olive Oil. It is usually up on a high shelf and you have to hunt for it. Our whole family use it exclusively. And yes, the darker the green the better.:D

HEHEHE.:lol: I know, juvenile.

I was just made aware by my daughter last night. She wants to be involved and get the message out.

Israel

:iagree:

I have broken the tie for now. I would go for #2.

I did have a wonderful time. I actually connected with a lady. She is about my age, but her kids are grown. She homeschooled them up to high school, we connected in many areas of thougths and process, iykwim. She is new to Houston, she moved from Florida about 6 months ago. I hope that we can develop some kind of relationship. We exchanged phone numbers. :D

Thanks for the push. I did check out meetup.com and found a group that meets to have coffe or tea. They are on the other side of Houston, but I am going down there today to participate in a coffee roasting demonstration. It's a start.

Excellent point. I am guilty of this. I tend to carry a look on my face that I know makes people think I am mad at the world. My dd tells me all the time that I look like am ready kill something with the look on my face, even when I am just on the computer. :glare: Kinda like this. I had a very close friend many, many years ago that intially thought that I was a very mean person. We both had horses at a stable and she was having trouble with her horse. Another lady that I knew at the stable told 'Pam' to talk to me about her horse problem and that I could probably help her. Pam told the other lady that she didn't think that I liked her because I always had this mean look on my face when she was around me. The lady told her "That's just Sam! Go talk to her.". Thankfully she worked up the courage and did come talk to me. We became extremely close friends for several years. So I most likely send the wrong kind of vibe, I do try to be aware of what my expression is when meeting new people. Being 6' tall and towering over most people doesn't help in not being intimidating though.:D

Oh My, we could be twins. The bolded parts are me to a T. I work part time and it might be full time at some point. But there isn't anyone to socialize with from there. And I have actually known most of them for about 15 to 20 years, I worked there before having the kids. I have spend so much energy on being a sahm/homeschooling these last 10 years that I have lost any interests that I use to have. I am not passionate about anything anymore. The Meetup.com site hasn't helped me much so far. I haven't found any groups around me that doesn't revolve around drinking alcohol. I am just not interested in that kind of socializing. We were part of a great homeschool group, but it is mainly younger kids. It seems that once we got into the teen years, there was less opportunity to hang out with that age group. The teen groups around here have become very cliqueish and were excluding my kids because they didn't go to the same church and we aren't Christian. We had been going to the weekly park day mostly for me, the kids had already expressed that they were not getting anything out of it. But I was, at least I was able to sit and be involved in the conversation with the other moms. But even after being a member for about 3 years, I still didn't have a 'friend', no one seems interested in getting to be a closer friend and I did try. Now, we haven't been to a park day in over 3 months and I doubt anyone cares. My kids will be 15 and 16 next month. It is such a bummer that lala land is so far away. We could do boring things together. ;) Sorry for the rant. :tongue_smilie:

I have read "The Confessions of Fitzwilliam Darcy" by Mary Street. I can't recall anything too racy, but it has been a little while since I read it.

You sound a lot like me. I do work though, but I don't socialize with anyone from work. So that hasn't been fruitful to find any friends. I lost my bf about 4 years ago also, because we left the church. I wish lala land was somewhere close to Houston, we could hang out. :D

I eat a lot of salads, but I really like salads. :D I like to put everything in my salad: green lettuce, spinach, cilantro, purple cabbage, cucumber, carrots, celery, radishes, jicama, green olives, little bit of pepperjack cheese, boiled egg, bacon, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, salad peppers. I don't eat tomato or bell peppers anymore but I used to include them as well.

I don't know about the capsules, but I buy the organic expeller pressed coconut oil from http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/. Today they are having a buy 1 get 1 on the 32 oz jars. Last sale I bought 16 jars. :D

My mom, and all three of us girls are lefties. Only my baby sister hooks her arm. My son is a lefty and he does not hook his arm either.

I am a lefty and that is how I cross my t's. When writing cursive, I wait unit I am finished with the word then quickly go back and cross t's and dot i's.
