What the heck did I do to lose several posts? Time is now running short as I promised my friend's daughter I would talk with her....oops, she is calling now regarding her Mom, who is descending deeper into Alzheimers, and blaming her daughter for the paranoia! Maybe back later!

I lost a long post yesterday. Just haven't made up the time to retry. Enjoy the football. We will listen.or stop and watch. Jim's for Carolina. The Quarterback is from Georgia.
Will get back tomorrow

Always behind on Sundays. Will probably watch my regular programs tonight but right now I do like Lady GaGa!! Great job.
Hugs.

We aren't watching the Super Bowl....the SeaHawks aren't playing so we don't care. 0 -
Spent the day getting ready. We have invited a couple over for lunch. Ed made a delicious fish chowder which we will heat up tomorrow am. . At the point he would add milk we separate it as I am allergic to milk products. I added coconut milk to mine. To thicken it up I blended some of the veggies in my Vitamix. Turned out delicious. I also made a very nice quinoa salad to serve on the side. I think I'll do a green salad too in case they don't like quinoa. I'm very organized - even the dining room table is set.
Tomorrow morning I will get up early and make fresh gluten free buns. Both myself and the other lady eat gluten and dairy free so it'll work out great.
It took quite a bit to pare down the WW smart points for the meal but I think it is pretty doable. Here's hoping.
I might have made a more WW friendly meal but we promised fish chowder before I started WW. Oh well. It's only One day and I will make up for it later in the week.
Marie- thanks for the videos on beans.
Barbie - I don't watch sports at all. Did enjoy the half time show tho.
I'm afraid to page back as I am on my iPad. Good wishes to all and have a wonderful day tomorrow.

So far today the promised damaging winds haven't been too bad although George and I came close to being blown over a couple of times during our walk around the village. We also had rain, sleet and hail thrown at us but we're used to that now! Nothing took my fancy at the auction viewing so today I'm home and planning some boring housework that needs to be done and then tomorrow I'll look at a different auction viewing in another town that looks interesting on their website catalogue.
Anne ~ I did hear comments have been made about some of the clothes worn in War and Peace, especially by the aristocratic women who all seem to have plunging necklines while the men look like they're on their way to a ball even when on a battle ground.... not authentic but certainly colourful!! The final episode was typical Russian head in hands drama with people dying left right and centre but the only thing that brought a tear to my eye was a cute black puppy but I won't type more in case you get to watch the series!
Barbie ~ The Superbowl isn't my sort of thing whoever is playing but we have started our 6 Nations international rugby tournament so my weekends will be taken up with shouting at the tv for the next 5 weeks!!
I can't get my car into my garage at the moment because the property opposite has run heavy timber and rocks along the ground in front to redirect flood water from their door but I won't be asking how long it's likely to be there because she was heard screaming at another neighbour because it happened to be running off his drive although there was nothing he could have done about such unprecedented amounts of rain!! The car is now parked under a wall out of the way and I'm staying out of the way too!!
Time for lunch and then some dusting etc.
Have a good Monday.

Happy day everyone. Snow, winds and wind chill! Winter is back!!! I am working on doing laundry and sorting through stuff that accumulates. Some day I hope to tackle every piece of mail and email as it comes in. Thinking about things I receive is not good for keeping a tidy desk.
I went to the web site to order purple sweet potatoes and they are closed for Chinese New Year through the 20th! My goodness but in the spirit of celebration, HAPPY NEW YEAR (although my calendar pegs it as occurring on the 8th).
Stay safe my friends.
Hugs.

Down to 182.8 this high starch diet is the answer to my prayers. after 8 years of posting on my MFP I finally found a plan that's work for me. But it must be the right starch. I was eating a hig starch meals and mostly snacks. but all the wrong kind. now i am eating Beans Potatoes, white and sweet whole grains , corn, peas. and some non starchy veggies But very little, No dairy , no meat, no cheese no oil , no nuts. And i feel great. I eat most;y Beans soup with different kind of beans, potatoes, corn or hominy mixed veggies, onions. garlic. tomatoes. I do used canned veggies,, fresh veggies and frozen veggies
I am not saying this works for everyone but it darn sure is me and i love the food. I will be eating let over white bean chili to all day. If I get the munchies I grab me a big cold slice of Kosher dill pickle. I don't miss meat at all now I do miss my cheese. tho and have not found any vegan cheese yet.But looking.
My thoughts for the day.
the Ip sure is coming in handy for all of these soup. Makes life so much easier.
Marie0 -
Great great news Marie. Everyone has to find what works for their body, their health conditions and their circumstances. Congratulations!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR OF THE MONKEY! Super year for some but apparently not so good for little pigs, the year I was born in!
Time will tell, lol.
Enjoy wash day anyway, everyone!

Can't remember what I posted in my lost post, lol.
Hope you are having a good week so far.
Going to try those vitamins, Bausch and laumb. Thanks for the tip.

Sandy posted this on another thread in this group.....was afraid some might not read it so I am copying it below:
Happy Monday!! Mondays are always the hardest day of the week after the weekend but I did take a short nap while Robby took his nap. He loves his new kitchen set and new vacuum cleaner. He was busy all day so I am glad I made the investment. Poor guy just can't beat his runny nose, I can't wait for warm weather and sunshine which I am sure will help him. Lisa's parents are leaving for Florida today and I just found out her mother had a little scare with her mammogram. She had to go back for a biopsy but all was well so she is very grateful and relieved. I felt a little guilty because she had asked me to watch Robby last Wednesday but I had blood work and a dentist appointment so I had to decline. Had I known she was going for a biopsy I certainly would have changed my appointments but she told me today that her husband was fine with Robby. I am just glad she is okay and can now rest in Florida. I think they come back in May, so I have four months of five days a week except for holidays and when my son takes off to help me. I will be tired but since this is Lisa's last year I will be fine.
Marie, how exciting for you to be down to your lowest weight in ten years. Finding the right way of eating has been a blessing for you, I am so happy for you.
Lin, we also are expecting some snow and cold weather, just when I thought Spring might be close at hand. I am one of those people who opens email and snail mail as I receive it, I am too nosy to wait.
Jackie, your weather sounds horrific, you are one brave lady to walking George in such terrible surroundings. That is too bad that you can't confront your neighbors about moving the timber and rocks so you can get in your garage, but I if she is already screaming at one neighbor I don't blame you. Good luck at the new auction.
Jeri, you and Ed are such good hosts making home made meals for your friends, I would probably just order out. LOL
Barbie, I only watched the game because of my pools and commercials. I did not win any pool and was very disappointed in the commercials especially with Budweiser since they didn't have the Clydesdales. I did enjoy the half time show but I am in the minority.
Phoebe, sorry Carolina didn't win, I had no favorite but found out that the Sandra Bullock movie was about one of Carolina's players so it would have been great for them to win.
Buzz, you are one of the busiest ladies on this forum, you are always doing or going somewhere. That is good, keeps your mind active.
Sorry for those I have missed but I am tired and my nights before having to go to bed are short so I need to catch up on things on the computer.
Have a great evening.
Sandy

Evening,
Just peeking in to say hello. We had a nice dinner with our friends on Saturday night and Sunday was just a rest day.
Dave has gone to a sailing board meeting and I am watching TV.
Nite Night

Sandy I get the two mixed up to. maybe We need to change the name to Plant food Discussion and leave off the senior golden sneakers
marie0 -
Oh dear, I hope we don't do name-changing. I have a difficult time some days getting back here. MFP is not that friendly these days.
Meanwhile, a few hours early here but on the way soon.
Celebrate!!

I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. It will be darn cold but I have to run to the bank tomorrow--I got a letter today from the attorney handling my dad's estate and was told ALL assets should now be out of my dad's name and into mine so I need to get the last account taken care of. Wish they would have called me. Letter was dated the 4th.
And joy, tomorrow is coloring afternoon at the library. I plan to go once again.
Excitement. Oh and a new store is opening tomorrow. It's called Natural Grocers but it's too far away given this cold weather so I'll check it out another day.
A new episode of Castle is on a little bit later. Hope I can stay awake.
Lin0 -
Lin I was trying say change the name of the golden Sneaker plant discussing topics to Plant base discussing. and just leave the first part off the name and leave the original Senior sneakers alone.0
-
Okay, Marie, just tell me where to go!!!0

if that is confusing it should just be left alone Lin.
Sorry I mention it.

Our seafood chowder lunch turned out delicious. Unfortunately the female half of the couple couldn't come. She has a friend whose husband is in a hospice and it looked like he could pass away today. Leslie has been her best resource as they don't have any children. So sad. We packed up a a take home package for her. She can eat it when she gets home.
I was so tired though, had a bad sleep, that I laid down and had a nap afterwards. Feel pretty good now and I even went down to get in my 30 minutes on the treadmill. Good thing I did that because I definitely ate more that my daily WW points today. Darn. But that's life and as long as I am right back at it tomorrow. Not much damage done.
Best wishes everyone

Thanks Lin, I told you I was tired. Marie, if we make a change to plant food discussions and take it out of our group it will confuse the Sneakers. I would just leave it alone.

LIN, you're leaving yourself WIDE OPEN
lol!!! (You know we love you!)
Well, it's later than I had hoped and I've had an exhausting day. Instructions that came with our new home cordless phone set are not very clear, so our messages are coming in online!!!
Visited my friend who is now in the Alzheimer unit, and she seems so lucid! She is a brilliant woman, retired professor who fought in the French Resistance Movement during WW2! Very beautiful lady, around 93 and seeing her deteriorating memory is so painful!
JACKIE, your weather and its problems are horrifying! Wishing you a quick improvement, though I notice weather everywhere seems to be topsy turvy! I agree with SANDY re the nutty neighbor!
JERI, the chowder sounds fabulous! No wonder you felt tired with all your fuss and preparation!
MARIE, WOW!! Such great news from you. P.S. keep the names as they are!
PHOEBE, happy for you you learned about those eye vitamins...and good luck!
ANNE, SHIRLEY and BARBIE, just a sweet hello, and apology for having to hang up now!
HAPPY MARDI GRAS! Buzz 0 -
Happy snow day, never mind about happy Mardi Gras! No self respecting reveller would be out today in dear old Ontario, AND it's going to get colder by the weekend. Brrrrrrr.
Maybe the gremlins were at work again yesterday, re the Sneakers versus Plant Discussion. I THOUGHT I'd posted a piece on vegan cheese products one can buy up here MARIE, but when I looked later there was no sign of it in EITHER group!
So maybe we should create a "confused" group as well for us lost souls, and I'd be the first to join! It's sure an adventure posting with MFP these days! LOL.only joking!! Like BUZZ remarked keep everything as is!
Anne0 -
Good morning. I am wearing green and purple today and that will be hidden by my coat! I agree Anne, celebrating in a cold climate can be more challenging.
Hello all. I think I need something warm to drink before starting errands.
Lin0 -
P.S. To add to the confusion, when I go to my home page I often find my name, but my accompanying photo is changed to a lady called Quilterbunny. I'm not complaining because Bunny is a very pretty lady, but it's very confusing, almost like waking up and finding the face you've been stuck with for years, gone! Apparently everyone else sees the real me, but I don't! After a while everything returns to normal. As far as I know I don't suffer from double vision. Because of time zones she usually precedes me for the day. Could that be why she appears twice. Very strange! It makes me wonder if she sometimes ends up with me! Must ask next time!

Laissez les Bon temps router! Let the good times roll! Happy Fat Tuesday! Happy Mardi Grau, y'all. I have never made King cake, we always bought them at a special bakery that knew what they were doing. They were exquisite and beautiful. Those were great times, visiting New Orleans, seeing the most amazing parades. I would have bruises from the beads thrown from the floats. Wow! It is a stew of several cultures stirred together. I love the whole thing. John thinks it is bazaar and sort of overwhelming. It is! I guess that's why I love it!

Have you noticed how MFP will just decide to correct words and substitute another that makes no sense? I should proof read every post but I get in a hurry!

Yep, I've noticed that. It's annoying. I almost always read before hitting post and then I read it after I post and sometimes still have to edit and change some words that I'm sure I typed correctly. Annoying.

We woke up to snow this morning down here in the southeastern part of the U.S. (Atlanta, GA area). Fortunately, it's the nice kind of snow that looks pretty but with temperatures that are warm enough that it should soon melt and not cause any serious traffic issues. Other than that, I'm looking forward to a quiet paperwork kind of a day in my home office.0
