I am so sorry for the loss of your sister. I would do the normal calendar, but maybe ask them if they would like one of your sister.

My mother used to say "and everything, and all, so..." Not sure when she stopped, but very glad she did.

Seafood will do it to me.

No clue. Now we still have analog, but they they are being slowly replaced. The younger crowd mostly do not even wear watches anymore.

Thanks everyone. The only request dh will have from me on his next two nights off is to read this thread.

Clockwise Counter-clockwise

For the second time this year, we have a mouse problem. The first time, it took Forever to get rid of them. We had out about 10 traps, then called the exterminator and he set out some more in a single wide trailer. Still, it took another month or so. I really want this to end. Would a cat help me?

I need to lose at least 80 pounds, so I know how you feel. I joined Weight Watchers back in December, and have made only minimal progress. It is so embarrassing. I am so addicted to sugar that if it was a drug, I would be in real trouble. I will be watching this thread for more inspiration. Good luck!!

I remember people saying that the vitamins in vegetables were right under the skin, so they should be peeled or only lightly peeled.

Rabbit alert- I wonder how long it will be before people wonder what "like nails on a chalkboard" means?

I remember hearing that one could catch a cold by going to bed with wet hair. My mother also believes that her shoes will stretch if she wears them with pantyhose, well knee highs.

I hate waiting for prescriptions to be filled at the pharmacy. I really don't mind the wait at other medical appointments, but the pharmacy is something I try to avoid. Now my meds come mail order, so that's great!!

We just eat food. I do not eat as much meat as dh and ds, but I do eat it. I even fry food!! Venison steak, chicken strips, squash, zucchini, fish, pork chops-fried is dh's favorite way to eat it.

What an impossible situation. It seems that you can either please SIL or MIL, but not both. I really feel for you. I don't know if this will mesh with her beliefs, but a wise man of God once said, "I might not can always understand God's hand, but I can always trust His heart." Good luck and prayers for finding common ground.

I very rarely cry, even when I am upset, mad, hurt, disappointed, etc. I wish it were otherwise, but I can't change it.

I had to read Awkward for a Children's Lit class and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

What about chicken fajitas?

Last night was cabbage/smoked sausage, fried zucchini, blackberries Tonight is fried chicken strips, creole corn, and ranch potatoes. Probably tomatoes.

It is not summer unless I am eating produce from my mom and dad's garden and peaches from a local orchard.

There are several exercises that a google search will turn up, but the one that helped me the most was to use a towel while sitting down. Kind of fold the towel as if you were going to pop someone with it (:)) then hook your foot in the middle of it right below your toes. Pull back on the towel and hold it for maybe 30 seconds, I can't remember exactly. I tried several but this one helped me the most. Also, I wear Fitflops almost exclusively.

I agree with the other posters. One thing I would add is to take a lunch with you. At my school, lunch is only 30 minutes, so you want to be prepared.

Saute onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a little olive oil or butter. Add beaten eggs and cook until desired doneness. Add feta cheese and serve. May add salsa if you wish. Maybe some toast if you wish.

I deal with that a lot while looking at pictures on FB. It's like, OK, something else I wasn't invited to.

I love horseradish and constantly looking for new ways to have it. I put it in potato salad, deviled eggs, mixed with miracle whip on roast beef sandwiches, mixed with ketchup to make cocktail sauce. My new way is mixed with miracle whip for a bacon tomato sandwich. I also love okra, squash, zucchini, venison, crawfish tails in crawfish etouffee

Quinoa Twizzlers Those are the only two things I can think of I actually dislike. Those of you who dislike desserts, I so wish I was that way.
