I had never heard of this diet, but I do try to follow a lot of the guidelines. I usually eat healthy meals, but have a weakness for desserts. And then there is that sudden overwhelming craving for a box of cheez-its!
And what's this "use herb teas and coffee substitutes in moderation"? Is that because the real thing is better for you? I'm not letting anyone touch my coffee or tea!

bucka i'm with you- the principles make a ton of sense but I also believe very strongly that we should not deprive ourselves of the things we enjoy- how sad would life be if we never ate our favorite desserts! As long as we don't eat them everyday...

Hoppy, try to get young kale, and get organic if at all possible. Kale is one fo the worst for pesticide residue. I am going to try and grow some at home this winter using aquaponics.

you are way more ambitious then I, aquaponics.

What a beautiful painting of that sleeping girl. Nice composition and use of color. I like where you cropped it and the hair falling into the foreground. Do you have pics of your salt dough ornaments. I have thought a lot about trying this but couldn't get very inspired. I bet you have inspiration for me.

I spent a few holidays alone. I went out and bought myself some champagne and ate chips and cheese with it one year. That was delicious but still lonely. A BYC eat along sounds nice Potluck of course.

I was really shocked to see turkeys costing upward of 50$. So with that in mind I officially change my opinion on raising turkeys but not on turkeys in general. My son is thrilled of course! Widget... still want to split an order of ducks and turkeys? I only need a couple and if someone else wanted to get a couple we could all go in. PM me about it.

And thanks all for pooling your change with mine instead of throwing me out of the water I get a little preachy when it comes to things that I value I guess. I have no family that are biological to share with and clearly have spent my share alone. Its all made me realize what a value it is to have friends... even if they are pretend friends in a chicken chat

hey, I can only speak for me, but I am not a figment of your imagination and not a pretend friend.

Not being a person who likes to shop Black Friday is one of those days that I find a bit on the crazy side. However I was really glad that Tractor Supply had a decent sale on Muck Boots today. My original pair somehow became a puppy chew toy and were destroyed. That was a few months ago. I have wanted to replace them since then but did not want to spend the $100. But today they were on sale for $70. And my size was actually on stock. For anyone looking for a comfortable, insulated and waterproof rubber boot that comes in very handy in snow, mud and muck then I highly recommend Muck boots. A bit on the expensive side but so worth every penny. Now if I can just keep the dog away from the new pair.

Other than that I did an online order from Adam's Horse Supply up in Winthrop for a couple things. They were both 15% off. Again two items I wanted and needed but didn't want to pay full price on. So went my Black Friday shopping.

It can be done with a 5 gallon bucket, I want to do both a hydroponic bucket and an aquaponic bucket. i am still restricted from working in the barn or yard and in an air cast boot. It sure has been a long haul.

 

[hoppy]

any idea when that will come off?

I would like to get a few turkey poults also. Perhaps I could be part of the order?
