Goodnight Cap, don't let the bed bugs bite!

Assuming it's probably too late to plant it

If your ground is still warm enough to germinate seeds, you might try and see if it will grow.
I can't grow cold weather crops here...too far south.

Too many excuses for everything Kdogg - Come on . First you need something else to do besides eat. When I was in the hospital someone gave me a Find A Word Puzzle Book- it lists the words and you have to find them and circle them. I get mine at $dollar tree.

I figured it would improve concentration and maybe boost eyesight(?) .After a while I could find words, backwards, vertically, horizontally, etc. etc. Also got a lot faster at finding them.

When I first look at a puzzle, I can't find anything. So I just wait a bit and slow down. Funny how words start to appear . If you are doing it right you are too involved to be stuffing your face I dont. If you have to eat - bite your nails - no calories!

Some days I get so pumped I am finishing puzzles right & left. Then it's hard to quit. I know not as thrilling as bingo . Might even take your mind off of sheep or goats, Great Dane or poodle, guineas or parakeets, beets or bananas.

Blooie, I wouldn't take both dogs either - just the one that looks more Wolfhound,

Actually I kinda thought they were both ugly. Don’t 5hink I’d break a sweat trying to arrange for even one of them. Sorry.

Tucked into our hotel room in Torrington while the snow falls around us outside our window. Went through some beautiful stuff today, I took a ton of photos. Ken is making a positive difference in the lodges, changing “that’s the way we’ve always done it” to “oh, yeah..that makes sense”. Me? Well, frankly my back, the right side of my backside, and my upper thigh are trying to get my attention to tell me that 6 to 8 hours in a car sitting is not helping. I do so much better standing or lying down, but that’s not in the cards and won’t be until Friday night.

Well glad you and Ken are safe and sound at the hotel. Sorry about your pain, my leg starts hurting bad after just 10 minutes in the truck. I feel for ya, Blooie.

Doesn't ganglion only occur in the wrists? Or can it be in other places?
An ex boyfriend had to have it removed from both of his wrists. Nice scars. Made him look like he was so dumb that he tried to slit his wrists on the wrong side.

most common places is wrists and hands second most common is ankles and feet. form in the joint or tendons...

Yep I had one and the Doc explained it to me... and No no book slamming though he did try to drain it using a syringe... came back.

I had no pain but it was in an interference location so they took it out.

Peanut butter is a high fat food.... Just sayin... Keep that in mind when you eat it.
Read lables on everything get familiar with whats actually in what... dont have to go to the grocery store either you can get dietary lable infor on line for anything.

I am a life time member of weight watchers and learned lalble reading through them.

Watch Fats Carbs and sugars.... There are a couple of good siites that are free on line that can help you with it all.

Yummy carrots which are almost free on weight watchers.

Slice in chunks rotatign the carrot each time you slice it just a little bit. Makes em interesting and have a good surface for cooked yummy ness.

Cook in good olive oil or Fresh Butter just a talbespoon for flavor ....toss the butter and carrots in a frying pan and gettem started cooking... Sprinkle on Garlic salt and pepper and a bit of dried dill. Once you get the cooking started pour in some low sodium chicken broth. about half a cup and turn down the heat a bit and cover the pan.

Keep an eye on it... stirr occasionally. And by the time the carrots are soft enough to eat the liquid will be gone cook em a bit more to brown more...

Serve them as a side dish or as a main dish... I like em just like that with nothing else. You will think they have had sugar put in em.


You can cook Brussles Sprouts the same way... I split them in half after peeling off the outer leaves and cleaning. Once they carmelize then you can sprinkle a little parmesan Cheese over them.... OH yummo...


But serieously in order to gain the upper hand on control of your food... You have to learn to cook... Start simply then move on to something else.

deb Whos failure to do this has been my down fall. I am 63 years old and about 365. I can no longer stand for more than about thirty seconds... Kneeling is out of the question. I had to give up my horse because I could no longer care for her... Ripping my heart out in the process.... I am Terrified to get in the shower because i am afriad to fall in there. I CANNOT walk up and down steps...

I am looking at Gastric surgery in order to survive the next twenty years...
