  1. I agree. The doc did this to my dad, but along with that said go low several other things. No guidelines. My dad took that quite seriously and he went so low on some things he ended up having to have a test on his bone marrow because they thought something was seriously wrong. Noo he just went too low on all of these things. I'm a bit irritated that he had to go through all that aggravation (not to mention the money all of that cost) because of no guidelines. And I agree on don't go crazy. If you cut out the biggest offenders and don't add salt to anything, you'll probably be reducing salt to a decent level. But to never go out and enjoy a work party or a dinner once in awhile...well that's not going to end well.
  2. Yep My 16 year old told me the other day he tells me nearly everything, but not EVERYTHING. I said, that's ok...there are some things I'd rather not know about. Haha...
  3. My kids MAY tell me everything, but honestly there are some things I'd rather they not tell me. I never say so though because I don't want to discourage them in the event it is important.
  4. What is a hurricane party? What is jumping the broom?
  5. Yep I remember! Good to "hear" from you.
  6. I'm with you in this being a very challenging thing to write about. Many listed here I think...huh...not my tradition. So I guess I'd just pick one and go with it. Maybe pick a tradition you have that you know a lot of other people have. (I'm assuming you are American, but I don't know this for sure.)
  7. played on my tablet made coffee washed a few dishes played cards with DH washed, folded, put away 2 loads of laundry took a shower/brushed teeth
  8. One thing I notice about the almond flour is if it gets a bit too dark it tastes bitter.
  9. No. It was more like driven to survive.
  10. I like this one. I didn't use the honey, and I used a mixture of mayo and sour cream instead of the yogurt. https://www.buzzfeed.com/kwesijames/this-cauliflower-potato-salad-will-get-you-in-the-mood-for-s?utm_term=.ixbo3pd57M#.yiLlxeWXBZ
  11. I've made these before: https://jenniferbanz.com/pork-rind-crusted-chicken-nuggets I didn't use avocado oil though. Probably my favorite LC version of chicken nuggets.
  12. Have you ever tried using whole eggs instead? I think I'm going to just try it either way.
  13. I agree! Along those lines, my son wanted to get his ears pierced. So far nobody has given him flack for it thankfully.
  14. Um yeah I was wondered where one would get the idea that hairless was fashionable. I thought maybe those weird fashion, bordering on porn, mags?
  15. I see no reason why it would take my kid 3 years at the uni. He will be only 16 when he matriculates though so yeah there is less of a hurry probably.
  16. I would reschedule. I fractured mine 2x. Once from falling down and once from delivering baby #2. I was in some serious pain. I cannot imagine adding to that. Especially since you cannot take anything.
  17. No rule about having to follow any of that. I don't see a lot of bearded guys. And TMI, but I haven't been hairless down there since I was a little girl. LOL
  18. The only struggle he has is coming up with what to write about. And it does not matter if it is creative writing or not. IEW has made that a bit better, but he is still under the impression he has to produce something profound. For example, the past few days we have been working on outlining a short story. He was very excited about changing it up to make it a bit different. We brainstormed ideas, etc. Then when he went to write he flipped out. So after trying various things to help him along I just said write the story as if you are writing a letter to a friend about this event. That got him going at least. But even with non-fiction stuff requiring one to basically regurgitate the information, he flips. Not sure what to do about that! He does well with grammar, punctuation, spelling, structuring sentences and paragraphs, etc. I would like him to practice writing more, and I want whatever we use to be mostly open and go. Sometimes I spend so much time looking for the perfect story or resource that we might not get to writing because I haven't found anything. Apparently the indecisiveness runs in the family! Haha... I would be perfectly fine with not doing too much creative writing. He has a love hate thing with it. He loves the idea of it, but he hates having to actually do it because he gets stressed over not being able to be original and interesting.
  19. We used 2 levels of that. Not bad, but over half of it was just grammar without much writing.
