Arielle, do a bit of research on package prices. We got a Fios package, and all we really needed was the internet. Thinking it would be cheaper just to get internet, we began checking prices. Nope. The cost of internet alone was as much as the package deal, which included all 3 services.
 
Unfortunately the donut was from Dunkin Donuts :lau :oops: normally wouldn’t have gotten it but my dad got it and I couldn’t refuse :lau :oops:

It was very good but I do think I want to make my own. That sounds delicious. Never have before.
We use a muffin tin that is shaped in rings.... to bake the donuts. Frying is a PITA. Son wanted to make french fries with the first potatoes harvested, and boy it makes a mess and takes a long time to make enough to satisfy 2 hungry teens. OF course frying in beef fat made them very tastey. Not sure donuts fried in beef fat would be so tasty....

Good to know.

THe honey moon is over and I know the cost for the services will go UP. How much? IDK. I cant live without internet, and the kids need to doalot of homework on line including submission to teachers.
 
I think the best thing for anyone is probably to try to just eat as healthy as possible and cut out or at least severely limit/reduce processed foods.

I’m of course still working on this. Not really succeeding. :hide

But I’ve been trying to eat healthier and cook and eat vegetables from my own garden and eggs and healthy meats and stuff like that.

There’s lots that claim certain diets are best. There’s a lot of people who claim the Mediterranean diet is the healthiest overall.

I’m not really sure anyone knows for sure.

And I actually think it’s almost somewhat similar to Keto in that it places an emphasis on lots of healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, lots of fish, etc.) and I think limited carbs, only whole grains, some would probably say that counts keto.

I think even just eating a lot of vegetables and healthy meats is definitely a lot better and healthier, and probably easier for most people, than trying to stick to one specific diet or plan or whatever.

Paleo is another huge one that people swear up and down by.

All I know is for me I think cutting out bread and sugar will be huge but I haven’t quite gotten there yet.

But I think that alone would be huge for most people.
 
Our internet is DSL from the phone company. The only other option is satellite.

Processed baked foods have very nasty chemicals in them that I do not add to my baked foods.
Which is why yours starts to mold in a few days outside the refrigerator and theirs is still good 3 weeks later. Makes you wonder just what is in that stuff!

We have Comcast not FIOS but what we do sometimes when the price goes up too much is we’ll call and complain about it, tell them we are going to leave them and switch to FIOS (for you it would probably be switch to Comcast or whatever other competing company you have up there) or if you have no competing companies, just plain say you’re going to cancel. They usually will do anything to get you to stay and will lower it for a while!! It works and they lower it but you do have to call every so often when it starts to creep up again. Still expensive but a bit more manageable.

Thanks for the tip! I’m gonna try that.
