Sold a couple small items. Need to put more in the market! Happy Friday!
HI Val
That sounds like a good idea, Hopefully they will find the problem. No one should have to endure long term pain.
Congratulations on the continuing sales and the item below.

Hi
I'm back from walking no cents. The temperature this morning was 55 degrees and the walking was good considering the light rain falling. Our Friday was a really nice day, not to hot, not to cold and dry
This mornings rain is forecast to end in a while then a break before what is predicted to be heavy rain lots of wind, lightning and a possibility of rotating winds
Today I need to resist the temptation to go get some PAD SEE EW, Stir fried broad rice noodles in sweet soy sauce with Chinese broccoli and eggs
or Pad Thai, Stir fried rice noodles with eggs, bean sprouts, tofu and scallions.
I had the new NS Lemon Zest Cake @ 140 Calories before heading out the door, I put it in the refrigerator overnight and gave it enough time in the MW to warm it up. It was tasty I think I prefer the Cinnamon Coffee Cake. I consider all three of the new snack cakes to be a good addition to the NS snacks.

Hi Val
I have been thinking about looking at the Atkins foods since I am sensitive to Carbs, However I do think the Net Carbs thing is somewhat misleading. As an example the total carbs are 15g vs 3g net carbs. The rest of the carbs are supposedly offset by the 13g Protein. At least in my case the Total carbs seem to what I am sensitive too. Too many carbs and I go off the rails for what I eat, they seem to be a trigger for overeating and then they make me feel heat more than if I avoid them.
Having said that those bars would work for me if I were not overstocked with NS snacks, Thanks for the mini review.
Congratulations

Hi Jan
That price sounds like a good price for a Buffet with those seafood's included. I am guessing pastas and meats plus things like Chicken Broccoli ?
BTW There is a video on YouTube about Buffets

Dehydration headache ? Sorry to hear that.

Happy Mother’s Day Jan! Hi Roger. I’m continuing to eat well and that feels good. Took my kiddo driving today. I love that kid. She’s doing well, but needs time to get comfortable behind the wheel and grow her skills and confidence. Glad we started early. Otherwise I didn’t get much done today. She has a 4.0 GPA, but Harvard minimum GPA is 4.4, so she’s a little glum. I’m thinking Rice might be nice for her. It’s #8 nationwide for math, 1/4 the cost of Harvard...and an easy drive to visit me! So I’m going to take her on a tour there. Plus they take top 15% of students and an is in 9th percentile nationwide so that should be doable.1

Hello!!
Val, hope your Mother's Day was great! It sounded good, spending it with Em! You must be so proud of her!!!
Sounds like a good plan you have going!! Hope the headache was a short one!!
Roger, Great articles. Wish I had enough money to name the dinosaur! Chinese had chicken broccoli, Taos chicken, honey chicken, fried shrimp, coconut shrimp, dumplings, dim son, pea pods, fruits, desserts, low main, fried rice, bok choy, green beans, ..more..I can not remember!!
Tonite we ate Mexican, but beach Mexican! All the favorites plus made also with grilled shrimp/ fish. I had the shrimp quesadillas, and Jenny had fish tacos. Food is GREAT! We have eaten there before. I also had a wonderful grilled street food- corn on the cob, with queso cheese, tomatoes, and a good sauce. Probably not spelled right. Jenny had a rum and ginger-beer, that was awesome. I tasted! And light on the rum, which was nice! We are going to a Philippine buffet for lunch, after the last morning on the beach. We are in bed early and hit the room after supper to watch the sunset on the water from balcony and bed we are so wiped out. Getting old!! Take care all!

Hi Val
I must be stupid, I did not know You could go higher than a 4.0 GPA, is that a recent thing ?
For a moment as I was reading I thought Rice, What does food have to do with it and then I read further
I Would be afraid of the cost of Harvard if nothing else.
Driving is a skill that takes time to get the proper reflexes. I was hit years ago by a new driver, they drove through a red light, hit traffic on the street and that changed their course to where they ran head on into my car where I was sitting on the other side at the red light with no way to avoid it
Good Luck

Hi Jan
Wow, All those Buffets...
If I said I like the green Beans with a sauce at the Chinese buffets locally. I tend to also get the Chicken Broccoli and try to drain off a lot of the sauce.
Beach Mexican ? In what way is that different ? It as my understanding that Queso is the Spanish word for cheese
Have a Good Time

Taking AP courses can raise a GPA above 4.0. I have no idea how long that’s been going on. When Em first said she wanted Harvard, my mind went to cost then the Boston density (Em’s an introvert and that could really bug her). She assumed my pause was thst I didn’t believe in her. This morning we had an argument about even visiting Rice University. But after school she wanted to...and her friends wanted to come on the tour too. I felt awful all day today.1

Good morning!!
Yes, the buffets are killing me! I will not step on the scale for days.... I got home around 4 pm and had enough time to pick up May early! No bath or nail trim, but well worth it. She just wagged her tail at the front door and has not stopped. We are happy campers! But pooped!!
Val, your new foster is so cute! I would not have the energy! Bless you!! I had forgotten also about the GPA's! Glad you explained! Harvard is overpriced, actually and not held in quite the same regard it once was. So many better U. out there for less money and are quite esteemed!! Glad she wants to check out others!
There is a cheese just named queso down here..Not a brand name. Kind of crumbly, like another I forgot the name of..and starts with a "c". the c one was the cheese on it, come to think of it. Cotilla or something! They had all the reg. foods, just more offerings with fresh fish than you would find. I had some really good grouper. So meaty I thought it was chicken at first...
Not as good as Texas Mexican foods however, or Arizona. But better than Al. Mexican....
I am getting up early unfortunately in the morning...so headed to bed! Take care all. So glad to be home!!

Hi
I'm back from walking no cents. The temperature this morning was 65 degrees
I had the New Baked Banana and Chocolate Oatmeal for breakfast Monday, I had ordered two and I wish I had only ordered one to try, oh well, I will not be reordering them FWIW.
My brother cut the grass yesterday, that makes the third cutting already. He did the initial cut two weeks ago, last week I did it and then it was his turn again. It does make it a bit less tedious alternating like that. Today is forecast to be in the 80s. It felt humid outside while walking and there was some fog in the air

I am not surprised about the buffets, OTOH it was a vacation, been there done that
IMO many of the so called elite colleges have gone downhill and have been coasting on their reputations. I could also be wrong.
That is pretty funny a cheese with the name cheese in Spanish
I am not a big fan of Mexican foods since I do not like foods with peppers in them or heat. That includes Green or Red Peppers and forget the ones with Hot Peppers.
Have a Good Day
