    Good morning,

    I feel like that too about the keto, Val, lol..I had keto chocolate chip cookies for lunch after my tuna... :)

    Hey, down here Roger I have worn flip flops to church! Just not for the Sunday service, lol...

    Nice day in the 60's with sunshine...you never know!

    Awfully young kids to be getting in that kind of trouble like Columbine..very scary.

    I have a funeral to attend on Saturday. the mom of one of the ladies that I go to early breakfast at Panera. One of those sweet southern women for whom they broke the mold..

    We ALL need to cut out our little cheating it seems!! Me. too, Roger...

    Good job Val!!! ...Jan
    Hi Jan
    It sounds as if Your church services as not formal dress up affairs :wink:

    I can not wait for the warmer weather that the forecast shows is coming to get here.

    I have no idea what goes through the kids minds these days, I can only guess that part of it is the impact of social media. If I had kids today at best they would have flip phones and the only computer access would be a common room where they could be monitored.

    I'm sorry to hear about that funeral, They are so sad to attend.

    I have a method of cutting out the cheating, It is a little drastic however. I spend all my cash so I can't get cheat foods :wink: That seems like the best method if a little drastic.

    Enjoy the Day
    Roger

    Good morning!!

    I am a combo of the Stay-Puf man and ET!! LOL!! I got a huge laugh out of those pictures!!

    Okay, the story about the Walgreen's tech is rather frightening. I can see her obtaining the tech level and having a blur of certification depending what she learned on the job. But how can they really justify that overstep into the pharmacist when so much schooling is required. My mouth kind of dropped reading she would just like it all to be ignored, please...Oh my...

    I love, love, love beans and legumes but to me it is hard to control the quantity . I feel hungry eating them and require several servings to be satisfied. My blood sugar rises high after eating them, even at a serving size. That seems what Dr. s and researchers never address. You are just to eat and be magically full, just like people that do not like to eat or do not eat much. Until that is addressed I see obesity still on the rise.

    Good thing you are not funding anything huge with the money you find!! It is a slow year.. ;)

    Your weather is still pretty chilly!! Typical still for February. No ground hog in my yard would have seen a shadow this morning!! Maybe by 11 am now as the sun is slowly creeping out. Pleasant in the sun outside but very chilly in the house. Feels very much like winter will be here yet a bit...

    Great job Val!! I am encouraged on reading of your progress. I find the fats on keto do help to keep one satisfied. I want to pick up some avocado oil for drizzling, but it is expensive. My daughter says Walmart carries a salad dressing that contains it with little additives or sugar. A Greek type dressing at 2 dollars compared with the 8 dollars for a little tiny bottle of just the oil. We will see. Helps to keep my fat grams more than my protein grams. That to me can be hard without a little foresight.

    Hope everyone enjoys the week end!! ...Jan

    Hello Val
    that reminds me of something on the local news a few years ago where the young man set up a Gofundme page to get the money to remove all the loose skin from his weight loss. The image of him there on the TV was worse than what we see with ET.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Jan
    Pillsbury Doughboy in the past here and who knows, in the future. The last time I lost weight I said never again and ended up where I needed NS :(

    The Walgreen's Tech is what can happen with a big chain, not enough oversight in the name of saving money.

    Beans IMO are not a low carb food so I am not surprised they raise your blood sugar.

    I am still awaiting the so called weight loss pill that works as previewed on the medical segment of TV a fair amount of years ago. My guess is that they jumped the gun with that report.

    A slow year for finding money indeed.

    Re: Groundhog accuracy I saw this reported yesterday. The TV reports yesterday said that Punxsutawney Phil has a 40% accuracy rate at predicting the weather :wink:
    I could do better by flipping a coin and calling heads or tails.

    Good Luck finding the Salad Dressing, so many foods have sugars hidden by using other types so that it can be disguised.

    The article about a woman using DNA testing accidentally finding her child’s annonymous sperm donor was particularly interesting. To conceive Em, my now-ex and I used that same sperm bank. Certain donors welcome contact. I would have preferred that, but the one we chose did not. The bank said when the child is 18, he/she can mail a letter to the bank...and the bank would contact the donor to see if he’s open to contact at that point. The bank allows the moms to choose if they want to know sibling moms. We’ve met Em’s 1/2 brother and sister. For a few years, it was nice...but over thanksgiving their mom suddenly became extremely mean, controlling (of me!), and insulting. Um, no! She called 6 times (I had srnt to voicemail) in less than 2 minutes. I was in really tough traffic at that moment. But I finally answered to find out the emergency. She said “I’m bored.” I replied that I couldn’t talk right then...and she went off! (And continued crazy crap for 4 days (e.g., calling me at 1am demanding to know where i was). I texted her to stop so she blocked me on FB.
    We know there is at least one more 1/2 sibling, but that mom didn’t provide contact info.

    Good morning,

    I came home so tired I was literally useless. I did not even have energy to play with May May after church.
    To make matters worse, she has really gotten some mental block over coming in thru the doggie door. She goes out with no problem and has used it with no problem for 4 years. All of a sudden she cannot bring herself to walk from outside to inside. It can take her 20 tries sometimes, even with me encouraging her. I do not know what is going on- but it is a serious mental block. I have cut off about 2 inches which included the magnets thinking it might help. For the most part it has done little to help, and hopefully I will not have something else come in with an opening like that. I have given her treats when she does get in and praised her. it helps but just a little. I am kind of at wits end with it. I loved she could go in and out safely when I was gone longer than I wanted..like church. It was pretty today, but I think she was out all day. I am afraid she will no longer come in when cold or bad weather! Help Val!!! :'(

    Val, sounds like you are far better off not knowing that lady!! I wonder why she had that change though.

    Funny Roger, I am waiting for that pill myself!!! Instant Slim!! :#

    Did poorly today on my diet. Most was keto friendly but a really good broccoli salad which I knew had some sugar in it. Lots of bacon, and unfortunately golden raisins that I realized too late were not bacon, lol! At 55 carbs just for that, I would say I blew it! :s

    Tomorrow is another day!! Have a good one!! Hang on to your organs!! ...Jan

    Hi Jan. That’s a puzzle about May May nit coming in through the doggie door. I have two thoughts. From the yard looking at the doggie door...is there something she’s afraid of? Ex, hornets or ant nest, a broom that could fall onto her, a wobbly board, or somewhere her paw could get stuck. My other thought is her vision. Is there a light on inside so she is sure where she’s going?

    My keto journey is progressing. I noticed i was exceeding my protein target bet not close to my fat target. Society really brainwashed me to avoid fat. I cannot stand black coffee. Yesterday (my first time), I added cream and coconut oil. No sweetener. It was awesome!!! My brain perceive fats as sweet. Which is really handy. To me coconut oil and cream cheese (not together) tastes sweet. I’ve also decided I need to go back to veggies more. My food had gotten skewed towards meat. I also need to stop cooking so much!!! My mom lived through the Great Depression and always hoarded food. I learned some of her mental issue around fear of not having food available. Other than in college, I’ve never never never had a limit in food access. So, this is just in my head. 🙄.

    More humor is about to be posted

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and for once money was found, 2 shiny 5 Nickels . The Temperature out the door was 30 degrees. Sunday here in NJ most of the state was around 50 degrees with a reported 60 degrees in Trenton the state capital.
    We are headed into a short stretch of nice weather and above average temperatures here in NJ, Whee.

    There was a coupon in the ShopRite circular for 80% lean Ground Beef in the family size package for $1.99. According to the Meat department person my Brother talked to they are having trouble keeping up with the demand. My brother had to wait in line to get a package and when he got one off of the newest tray and turned back from putting it in the cart there was only one left. They Grind 80 pounds at a time and package it in 3 pound packages. The one he picked up is already in the oven baking after having been formed into Hamburger Patties. I may run out Tuesday and use a second coupon on the key tag I use and get another one for the freezer being somewhat of a cheapskate. Also a Coupon for $2.99 one pound package of Oscar Mayer bacon, A good price too.

    Hi Val
    I have to wonder if it really was a accident. This DNA testing is a double edged sword. If You wanted anonymity and that breaches it IMO that is wrong. I also disagree when states

    I wonder if she was always that way or if something in her life or health caused it. This one bother me FWIW

    Hi Jan
    You would think that a Broccoli Salad would be safe to eat :(

    That wish for a magic bullet for weight loss is what leads to the large weight loss market items on the shelves.

    I hope that the door avoidance issue is cleared up, Maybe bring it up on the next Vet visit as well as trying Vals Ideas.
    Good Luck with that

    Hello!

    Well, made a stab with my income tax. I am waiting for one thing yet. Oh well... At least I am farther ahead than last year!! So many new tax changes..and I never seem to qualify for any of the good benefits. Just my luck!!

    We will be getting into the 70's this week. hard to believe. My forsythia is blooming in a few place and the birds are migrating back. They will be surprised by more winter I am sure.

    Val, great job on your loss! You are really doing well!! <3

    May was a little better coming in. Treats help a little. I checked around the door and tried leaving the light on for her. Maybe that will help some.

    Interesting articles. And great deals you found on ground beef! Isn't it nice to find a deal!! I did get two packs of spareribs that were over 3 lbs for a little less than $9.00 a piece. Usually they run about $12.00 or so. I was happy as I had a taste for them!

    Enjoy the prettier weather!! Take care ...Jan

    Hello Jan
    I plan on doing my Taxes this week, I have everything I need as far as I know. I would think that by now everything should have arrived.

    The problem with the Forsythia blooming early is it might get blasted by frost, I have seen happen here in NJ.

    Hopefully May gets even better at coming back in. When You say treats were You there to hand them out ? I wonder what would happen if they were in a bowl inside the door as a incentive to come back in ?

    It took about 25 minutes in the oven to bake the Hamburgers that I made from the Ground Beef.

    I love Spare Ribs especially when they are cooked to where they are falling off of the bone, Not just cooked but super tender. 25% off is a good buy IMO.

    Wow, 70s, I am happy that we are in the 60s for a few days.

    Congratulations on what I just saw.

    Hello!

    Beautiful picture, Val. Is that a park close to where you live? So glad the appt. went well!! Good to get those pesky things out of the way. So many people neglect doing that.

    Roger, I was so shocked you found money the other day! Hope you find more, lol!! :) I just handed her some treats when she came in the door. I think she would eat the whole bowl at one sitting otherwise!!

    Interesting articles, especially about the genocide that caused a mini ice age. Hard to believe.

    I can attest to Muslims becoming Christians after the harshness of Islam. Our friend in our church is from Pakistan and they have started a Christian school. But they are always in danger and must keep a very low profile. It is frightening.

    It reached 77 degrees today and will be in the 80;s on Thursday. Too warm, though nice. Our flowers and trees have been caught by a "late" frost more often than not especially in the last several years.

    Take care, and no one work too hard!! ...Jan B)

    Hi Val
    having a POA is not something I would have thought of, I have had a will for many years OTOH. Did You think os a POD for the bank also ?

    It looks a bit wet there too, things here were wet while walking, I am thinking that a heavy dew possibly is the cause, at least it was warm enough not to be slippery.

    Have a Good Death

    Hello!

    Beautiful picture, Val. Is that a park close to where you live? So glad the appt. went well!! Good to get those pesky things out of the way. So many people neglect doing that.

    Roger, I was so shocked you found money the other day! Hope you find more, lol!! :) I just handed her some treats when she came in the door. I think she would eat the whole bowl at one sitting otherwise!!

    Interesting articles, especially about the genocide that caused a mini ice age. Hard to believe.

    I can attest to Muslims becoming Christians after the harshness of Islam. Our friend in our church is from Pakistan and they have started a Christian school. But they are always in danger and must keep a very low profile. It is frightening.

    It reached 77 degrees today and will be in the 80;s on Thursday. Too warm, though nice. Our flowers and trees have been caught by a "late" frost more often than not especially in the last several years.

    Take care, and no one work too hard!! ...Jan B)
    Hi Jan
    I have a suspicion the money may be tied to more people being out and about with the warmer weather ?

    You could just put a couple of treats on a plate when May is outside and see how that works, Possibly even let that be seen on the way out ?

    I found the cause of the Mini Ice age hard to believe too.

    The conversion to Christianity is something that never occurred to me, You would be more likley to see that.

    I have a suspicion that a late frost may be why the Apple trees out back only had one apple last year.

    Have a Nice Day

    When we first moved to San Antonio we lived in an apartment. The walking trail i was on connects my old apartment with my doctor’s office. 8 years ago, I regularly went on that trail...but it’s about 10 miles from my current house. It was drizzling and a bit muddy so on the return trip, i walked on the sidewalks. Plus, a guy let his Doberman loose, and I didn’t want a repeat injury. My reason to have my illness/death papers drawn up...when i had sepsis, I was helpless and none of my people could legally act on my behalf. Fortunately Emily has a credit card on my account so she could make all necessary purchases but it was an issue for disability paperwork. Plus that event forced me to face the reality of my mortality.

    Hi!

    Roger, you are rolling in money! :#

    May May did so good yesterday coming in with the treats. Today about a third of the way thru the day, she was stopping dead again even with treats. At one point she would not come in and she had been out a while. I opened the door and she was afraid to come thru the entire door. I do not know what has mixed her up, but it is really strange. I know horses learning curves can be 2 steps ahead and one back..Sounds like May. Geez..I wonder if they have dog psychiatrists in Montgomery...Good grief...she goes to her regular doc Friday, maybe he will have some answers.. :|

    Val, you are just wise to get things organized, no matter your age or condition!! :)

    Today was for nutty articles. Read them with amusement and horror!

    I did better today..Chinese Thursday. Always a challenge!

    Take care all!! ...Jan

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 39 degrees. Yesterday in the evening into earlier this morning there was some rain that had ended at some point in time before I left the house, Things were wet but not super wet so it was OK for walking.

    Hello Val
    That made for a lot of walking, if I understood You correctly, 10 miles each was ?

    If I had Your experience with a dog I would also be leery of a off leash dog. Around here they are required to be on a leash unless in a fenced in yard, Is that Your area too ?

    That makes sense to me, if You are incapacitated someone must decide what to do. Is Emily old enough to do that legally ?

    Death comes to all of at some point, the trick is to not let is rule Your life. It is like an airplane, "Take offs are optional, Landing is not" :wink:

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Jan
    Just curious is there a alternative door You could use as a test to see if it is something about that door or something else ?

    I have actually heard of Shrinks that treat dogs, Methinks that would be very expensive however.

    I found the Hospital Bill, the Boomerang Plane that returned three times and the Addicts outnumbering students. SF :(

    For Chinese if You were to order Beef, Chicken, Pork or Shrimp Moo Shu and have them hold the 4 thin pancakes and the rice it is reported to be a Low Carb Chinese Meal and at least here the Takeout portions are large enough to get more than a meal from it. Basically a Vegetable dish in a tasty sauce. Oh Oh, now I'm making myself want some, So tasty IMO :(

    Good Luck at the Vet Tomorrow

    Good morning,

    Did okay I think for Chinese. It was a buffet but I ate mostly crab, chicken, spare-ribs and some cucumber. I will see tomorrow, lol... :D

    I used my firepit outside for the first time. It was awesome. Really pretty with a dura flame log in it. Safe and out in 2 hrs. Easy clean up. A 65 degree nite under the stars!! pretty perfect.

    I will try another door and see what happens.. just to test. Good idea!

    Headed to read, and sleep!!

    Take care!! ...Jan

    Sorry for my clumsy wording. I drove the 10 miles yo the doctor. The walking path only connects my doctor’s office with my former apartment complex.

    We have leash laws. San Antonians don’t respect the law. Drunk driving is illegal but we have very high drunk driving rates. Texting and driving is illegal but 90% of drivers do it.

    Embis only 16. She needs to be 20 before she is legally aloud that responsibility. So my paperwork is written with one friend as the primary responsible party, then Em with the caveat that it’s after her 20th bd, then two additional alternates.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 43 degrees. I heard rain hitting the Window AC a little after midnight. When I left the house it had ended and then as I neared the house a light rain started up.

    Hi Jan
    Well, except that the ribs were likely not a dry rub it sounds OK, I tend to head for the Chicken Broccoli or Beef Broccoli and go heavy on them at the same time letting much of the sauce drain off as that leave enough for taste IMO.

    Dura Flame, That would be the brand You see everywhere for sale :smiley: God that You enjoyed it and first time too.

    Good Luck with another door and the Chinese foods reaction at the scale
    Roger
