    Cheri - Swai is the same as Talapia so any of the recipes for Talapia can also be used for Swai.

    I'm not sure if I had food poisoning or picked up a 24hr bug but was sick as a dog last night. All better today. tomorrow night is DGS#1's first concert of the year. Looks sharp in his black dress pants, long sleeve white button front shirt and school necktie. If I could just get him to practice his instrument. :/

    Off to bed as I did not sleep well last night.

    Ok I have to admit, when you are semi-retired, everyday seems like a Sunday. Especially when you have a teenager home for a Thanksgiving week! I suppose when son goes into the Navy I (might) get a part-time job, but I am not keen about it... There is a Walmart superstore that is being built, so maybe both husband and I can fiddle fart around in that, job wise that is. He said he wants to be a greeter! I can be a "samples lady", one thing I am really good at.

    I think I got my steps in racing around the apartment here today, trying to stay away from frisky husband. I don't know what the heck has gotten into that man... The fact that this darn apartments so small, teenager is in his room and I can't make a PEEP, has that enticing danger quality I guess. Silly fool! But I do love the man.

    Tonight I made blueberry pancakes and bacon for the guys. I cooked my bacon in the oven, first time I have ever done that. The fact that I have one good pan that I was going to use for the pancake making, made me just put them in the oven. I kind of like doing it like that. They didn't get really crispy, but they were a nice leathery done.

    Well, everyone have a great Tuesday...(looking at the calendar) yep tomorrow shall be Tuesday.....

    Becca - I make bacon in the oven also 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. Martha Stewart says if you want really crispy bacon put a rack in your pan and lay the bacon on that. My mom used to flour her bacon before she baked it and it was delicious and always crisp.

    OK really am going to bed now

    Becca - Just a quick heads up....I would not recommend working for Walmart! I used to work for them, then found out through doing some research on them that they are notorious for having a very high employee turnover rate, for not giving some employees the benefits they are supposed to and say they will (they did that to me...I was supposed to get health benefits when I went full time but had to fight tooth and nail to get it about 3 months later), and a friend that worked at the same store I did was wrongly fired but couldn't do anything about it because Oregon is an "At will" employment state. They tell everybody when they hire them that if you help a customer while you are on break or lunch they want you to adjust your time in the computer to show that, but when you do that they claim "time clock theft" and fire you. That's what happened to my friend and I found out to other people as well. I have seen several lawsuits brought by employees who were denied their breaks and so on and so forth. I would hate to see you get caught up like that so just be forewarned. Some people do last years there, but they are very few and very far between. Most don't make it long with them. I could tell you some horror stories of some of the other stuff they did to me and others in my particular store that would really raise your eyebrows, but it would take too much space here. Hence the reasons why I no longer work for them. I was only there a year, too. Just wanted to let you know from a firsthand point of view. If you decide to pursue a job there, just go into it with both eyes wide open and expect problems, and also don't expect much from them. I'm done, that's all I wanted to say about it. And "leathery" bacon, my favorite kind (I don't like crispy crunchy bacon)!

    Well ladies, movie is over....seemed like a long one and not sure how to feel about the movie. The actor who played the scientist in the first one who got killed in the lab by one of the aliens in the first movie, appeared in this one as a scientist and my immediate thought was "Wait a minute! Didn't he die in the first one???". Kinda made the story line unbelievable at that point. Oh well, it was only 25 cents, lol! Some fairly decent visual effects though. Don't think it's worth watching again unless it's on TV and there is nothing else on, lol.

    OK, time to hit the hay....I'm done lurking. I hope everyone gets good sleep. Sweet dreams all!

    Morning Ladies~
    Yelled at Tom when he came to bed,I see him for maybe an hour a day when we work and 45 mins of that is bi---ing at me.. I had a long hard day and he didn't care about that, right now its all about Homer... today I am dropping Homer off for a chest ultrasound, going to ask the dr to take a look at his right ear, he might have an ear infection..
    I just want to lead a peaceful life and enjoy my friends and family ,and cant do that the way my life is going now..
    I agree with all of you about being thankful for our friendship.. I truly love you all!!

    Good Morning my lovely Phat Chat chumbs,


    Carey, your quiches sound wonderful and now I'm wanting some. Don't do that to me when I have Thanksgiving dinner to plan. thanksgiving-family-dinner.gif

    Rita, just tell your DH he's not invited this year and is on his own while you go to your Mom's. LOL I don't know why they can be so difficult sometimes. I think it's a game with them.

    Sherry, the bold doesn't bother me as it's easier to read. reading-stories-smiley-emoticon.gif

    Marcelyn, Your Christmas sounds wonderful. Can we come and just watch?

    Cheri, I love the pictures of your family gathering. They look like Norman Rockwell paintings.

    Heather, reading about your daily life is like reading about an adventure, to me. I guess part of it is because of where you are..if you talked about crossing a bridge in Ohio, it might not be as exciting. Anyway, thank you for sharing your life and please keep it up.

    Margaret, I hope you enjoyed that half a beer. I'd have probably had a whole one to go with it. Did you have to get a new fridge? Hope things calm down for a while.

    Katla, (and Carey), I didn't know what "Liquid Egg Creations" was so I Googled it and found this recipe for Crustless Quiche Casserole. https://www.caloriecount.com/crustless-quiche-casserole-recipe-r5409
    Gosh I learn so much from all you ladies. I love it.

    jesuschar, welcome. This is a great place for support and information. You are so right about this being a lifestyle change and it's got to be for life. Please sign your posts with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific. Come often.

    Joyce, I'm excited with you about the progress on the small bathroom. I guess we are never too old to get a surprise.

    Rori, this is just a 5 day cruise to the Bahammas. We've always done 7 day and this year decided to book two 5 day cruises. I enjoy the cruise on the ship as much as the port so I don't really care where we go.

    Barbie, the PT saved me after my back surgery but then I wasn't even thinking about lifting weights. You are doing so great!!!!!! Just be patient.

    Pip, good to see you have up your Christmas profile pic. cheesy-grin-smiley-emoticon.gif

    Sherry, first of all, there is no reaching through the screen to slap anyone for missing someone on a post. We only do that to those of us that go crazy with eating things we shouldn't. Now, where is our picture of this cute Missy?

    Janetr, I totally agree with exactly what you said, "For all my dear Phat Chat ladies. I could not do this alone. You all give me the courage to say "I can" and to continue forward. So thankful for what each of you contribute and for sharing your life with me <3" I hope you all have the best Thanksgiving ever.

    Gloria, so glad your bug didn't last any longer. (((Hugs))) Thanks for the bacon in the oven info. I'm going to try it. Does it not pop all over the place?

    KateUK, welcome home. I'd say 2 lbs isn't bad at all.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gifto any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

    I've been helping my friend with things since she moved out of state so suddenly and not getting things done for myself. She has someone getting her golf cart to deliver it to my house and we will try to sell it for her. At least my friend that will be here for Thanksgiving is a good friend, so if I don't have everything spotless it's no big deal. I'd just feel better if things are ship shape.

    Sending love and good thoughts to all of you and I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy Day!

    DJ I am hoping things calm down for awhile too. DH is on a trip with his sister so I am waiting til he gets back to decide what to do with frig. I looked at new ones and since I want an almond frig that is out of style we can get one for $600-$700. It will cost $109 just to have them walk in the door to try and repair the one we have that is at least 10 years old. One glitch is our current one has a water dispenser inside the frig. If we go with a new one that option may have to go. It is fine with me but, not DH. I am noticing he is getting more set in his ways so we shall see. In the mean time I am getting extra exercise by having to go to our basement frig when I need something from the refrigerator.

    Sherry: A quotation just popped into mind, ----"and she called for her pipe, and she called for her bowl and she called for her fiddlers three. . ." Enjoy your movie watching! :smiley:

    Janetr: I love the little pilgrims poster. Thanks coming back atcha! :flowerforyou:

    Gloria: I hope you slept well and DGS has a good time performing in the concert. If he has fun, he might eventually start to practice. :wink:

    Becca: Tell your frisky husband that he can have fun when DS is off to school. I am so happy that he's feeling well enough to pester you in front of your son. :devil:

    Allison: (((HUGS)))

    DJ: Enjoy the company of your good friend at Thanksgiving. Good luck helping the friend who moved. :flowerforyou:

    Margaret: Good luck with the refrigerator. I hope you are able to get the color you want and the features DH wants. :smiley:

    Cheri: I always envy people with large families, whether close by or spread out across the country. I'm a lonely only. DH was one of three, and he and his sister are the survivors. We've developed a grand friendship. We'll be at her house for Thanksgiving. :heart:


    I'm walking with a former neighbor this morning and then baking for the Thanksgiving feast. DH is making pie and I'm making a pumpkin cake. We will be traveling tomorrow.

    Katla enjoy your Thanksgiving visit! I truly wish my siblings and I were closer growing up unfortunately we had a mother who operated in "survival mode" and was angry/resentful much of the time. Our father was a workaholic one because he had a passion for his vocation and two to escape home life. However, we can all get together and have a good time and of late are starting to share tales of our youths. AND finally at age 57 years have forgiven my mother for her behavior and that is such a huge mental load gone!

    Enjoy!

    Did 1 hr of the Jane Fonda Workout DVD that I made. It's really interesting to see how things have changed. The hair! And those leg warmers! Well, since they aren't having the water aerobics tomorrow, the plan is to do Weight Watchers 15 Minute Boot Camp DVD. I'll probably do all 4 workouts

    barbie - so happy for you that you can dance. Just take it slow and everything else will fall into place. Trust me, I know how hard it is to take it slow and not do the things you'd like to do like the plank. But you don't want to permanently injur yourself and never be able to do it! You'll get there

    Went to ceramics last night and this one gal asked me if I was going to the ceramics Christmas party. I didn't know anything about it. I went last year. It seems the invitations were passed out after I'd left. So I'll probably go. It's on the same day as the mahjongg Christmas party. As usual, I'm going to try to limit how many parties I go to. The mahjongg, ceramics, Newcomers, and we may wind up having an open house. I'm hoping that's IT

    katla - thanks so much for the pic of the spruce tree. I don't think that's the one we had outside our door as the one we had was blueish. Lovely lovely tree. I'm an only child, too, and so is Vince

    sherry - good luck at the eye doc

    Gloria - so sorry you were ill, but glad you're better now. Good luck to your gs

    Kate - welcome home! Only 2 pounds.....that's great

    Got things ready to take up to Jess'. Did 2 loads of laundry so I can start (well, really, continue) packing. Now I think I'll make these M&M cookies for the son of our mailman who usually comes selling these coupon books. I'll keep the rest for christmas. I just like supporting the schools (the book). I'm not crazy about those "cards" because I very very seldom go to the places you can use the cards at -- places like Dominoes, Pizza Hut etc.

    I'm the youngest of six girls. We were/are always close. My Mom was the adhesive that held us together. By the time we all married and had children, holidays were loud and chaotic and I loved every minute of it and miss it. As we have gotten older and have grandchildren and even some have great grandchildren, its almost impossible to eat together, but we do try for a family reunion once a year and go to a park, or use the church hall.

    Hi all!

    Just want to put in another shout out for YOUNGER NEXT YEAR and THINNER THIS YEAR.
    The science info on the value of exercising is mind boggling.

    We had a lovely yoga session this morning and then quite a few of us went off to the pub for coffee and to wish our friend Kathy luck. She is off around the world for 80 days. :D Going to Australia, New Zealand to catch up with friends and then on to Chile and Bolivia to meet up with her son. She is the same one who walked the 600 miles of the Camino in Spain. She is 60. A single woman with terrific spirit. <3 She used to be a midwife. She is incredibly fit. :o

    I am feeling a bit quiet today, having had two hectic days. Alcohol free today. It's good to have recovery time sometimes. DH went off and did food shopping and I had a nap.

    DJ - Of course I lived in London for 40 years, so it is my own backyard. But that doesn't stop me appreciating the beauty of the cityscape as I walk over the bridge with all the coloured lights and the buskers. DH and I so rarely go out after dark that it was great to find ourselves "on a date" and joining in the city fun. <3

    Love to all. I am going to have another go at my new laptop tomorrow. Couldn't face it today. There seems to be a Black Friday offer for Office on Amazon, so I might steel myself. My first job is to get my email up and running. Grrrrrrrrrr! I have read the instructions on Utube, so hope to get it working.

    Finally off... five whole days ahead! The young lady in the picture is the one I haven't seen for a year and a half... since she was four months old! Thought I'd give y'all a Thanksgiving giggle. The substance she is wearing all over her is chili... :) Now to my packing... we'll hit the road as soon as the DH is home and gets a shower and some food in him.

    Love, Lisa in West Texas

    Joyce – While I never used any ‘tan’ in a ‘spray’ because I tan very easily; my DDnL#2 who is a cosmetologist and owns the tanning booth at her shop says now they add something to the formula to keep ‘spray on tans’ from turning orange. She won’t let ‘anyone’ in the shop use it other than her boss. He does her tan and she has throw-away panties and bras.

    I often wondered if you had to drop out of nursing school if you could go back, since they are such small classes for RNs. One of my DDnL#1 went to nursing school to become one; but, had to drop out to ‘take care of her MnL who had cancer’. She was very close to her; and, instead of naming one or the other of her sons, she appointed the DnL as the executrix because she ‘knew’ she’d be fair and honest. I would want to go through a ‘ceremony’ if I had finished and was getting my cap and pin.
    I’ve gone to my HS’s 10th, 15th, and another one; either 25th of 30th; we did not have one for our 40th because one of the ladies who was ‘big’ to plan it had recently lost her husband (another classmate) after a long and grueling last illness. We’ve talked about it, talked about a 45th; but, nobody wanted to take the bull by the horns, so we didn’t. But, we are planning for a 50th (in 2019).

    I’ve been looking at a sofa and 2 chairs; but, that flew out the window when DH had to pay $2000 to get his truck repaired. It has more than 350,000 miles on it; but, it was better to fix it rather than start having payments at his age (75). I have a car payment; and, love it, but I wish I did not have a payment because the other one would have been paid off in a couple of years. It had started giving me a few problems, and I did not want to be looking at repairing or replacing a transmission.

    I would love to re-do our bath; but, it would require the services of a plumber to move lines. Probably won’t ever happen; I’d like to replace the short, deep tub to a walk-in shower; and move the toilet and put in a double vanity (with more storage). I rarely use the tub because it is so difficult to get in and out of it, even though DH has put a rail; he put it on the left side and I really needed it on the other side. Usually, he throws his work clothes (or jeans) over it.

    But, I’d also like to re-do the counter top in our kitchen and get him to paint the cabinets and put pulls on them. Right now, they don’t have any pulls and some of them are really hard to open, even though they do have a spot to put your fingers.


    Sherry – DH and I wait until the movies come out on DVDs, too. Mainly, because of the price. Last year DDnL#2 paid for 5 adults and 2 children to just get into the theater and spent well over $140; then she bought my ‘snacks’, along with herself and daughter. DDnL#1 paid for the 4 of them. I got unbuttered popcorn and water, water was almost as expensive as a Coca-Cola; and, I have not had a soda for nearly 2 years. But, I did not get the candy (although I love popcorn while eating chocolate and caramel.
    I need to make an appointment with the eye MD, just haven’t done it.

    Georgia is an “At Will” employment state. When you plan on quitting; and, give your notice; most employers will just tell you to go ahead and leave. You can’t file for unemployment and even ‘if’ you are supposed to get 2 weeks of paid vacation … you lose it. One of the reasons they do this is because a lot of people who plan to quit, can do things like put a password on their computers and other things that messes up the everyday running of a business and their their bosses don’t want to give them a chance to steal from them. You can quit without notice and they can fire you without notice. But, if they fire you, you can attempt to file for ‘unemployment; but the chance of getting it is slim. If the company goes out of business or something totally beyond their control, you can. My DDnL#1 walked out on her job; and, when she filed for unemployment they countered that she had ‘walked out’ so she was denied. It took her 6 weeks before she found a job and the first one she quit after one week; now she has a ‘state’ job with health benefits and retirement paid by the employer. It also covers their DOD throughout college, as long as she is a full-time student through her 26th year, unless she gets iinsurance through any job, or if she gets married.


    Kate – Do people in Europe have to have a passport to go to other countries there?


    KJLaMore – I went back to bed because my tummy hurt, Cracker doesn’t like it at all. DH left for work late because DOS was ‘hunting’.


    Jesuschar – Strange spelling of you ‘name’ … is is pronounce “Jessica” Jess-c-car?


    Margaret – Do you want an ‘almond’ fridge to match other things in the room? Have you ever thought at taking it to an auto body shop to be painted? That way they could take off any seals and stuff like that. I have known people who have done that. That way it it would be painted and sealed so it would not scratch. I’m sure it could be done at home; you’d just have to cover the seals so you won’t get any paint on them. You could call around and see if any do this; and then go to a paint store and get a paint chip that matches it and take it to them.


    Cheri – I’d like for my sisters to be closer; one live down in Miami; and, the other is down in Miami with her DH, who is still in the Rehab Center after being in ICU almost 2 ½ weeks after having a stoke. They have done wonders on him. Don’t know what type, if any, deficits he might have, maybe only weak arm … he has recognized sister and nieces all 3 times they have operated on him. He is a fighter. Another man entered the hospital about the same time; and, has moved along with him (he had an issue with his heart). They are Tibetan, and she was upset the other day because ‘he has given up’, so DS prayed for him and their daughters hope that DBnL#1 can meet and make friends with him, maybe cheering him up.

    My OS says that ‘if’ you don’t ‘forgive’ someone, you are getting in the way of God working in your life. You can ‘forgive’ someone and still not particularly ‘like’ them or want to be around them. I’ve tried to write down something positive about one person who I have ‘forgiven’; but, still and might always think she is very divisive [now I have to go write down something positive].

    Janet, what did your DD do to lose the weight? That is absolutely fantastic!!! Please give her a big CONGRATS from me. She is beautiful!!

    Pip, I love the picture. I guess you didn’t even have Yogi yet.

    Lisa, what a cute picture! Have a safe trip.

    I’ve been busy with Thanksgiving prep this morning. DH is running around like crazy trying to get my friend’s car in order to sell. He is doing this out of the kindness of his heart and not because I asked him to, but wow is he cranky this morning. He is getting a bit forgetful (even more than me) and I worry that he may fear Alzheimer’s. His mom had it for years before she passed away and I think we both worry about it. This morning he kept trying to explain something to me but couldn’t really get the story straight enough for me to understand it and he finally gave up. Just the thought scares me to death. Well back to my long list of To Do’s.

    Janetr - your daughter has smiling eyes. Hooray for her loss - you set a good example, she followed suit. What more can a parent ask for <3<3<3

    Carol & Cheri - you two are coming up with such awesome emojis I'm taking a break!

    Fingers crossed - I missed a call yesterday from the office manager where I interviewed on Friday so of course I couldn't sleep last night. I think I may have a job! I left a message just waiting for a call back!

    Making my traditional yam casserole, an Apple Brandy Pie, and a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bundt Cake to take to my daughter's.

    Last night I made a Dublin Coddle (potatoes, onions, bacon, bratwurst and I added cabbage wedges) which you put in a heavy covered pot and bake in the oven at 300 for 2-5 hours. First time I've made this so tonight we will be having it for dinner. The boys were all excited because they smelled bacon last night and thought they were getting it for dinner :o

    I just got the call and am starting work next Monday! Have a lot to get done now since I have to get after school daycare set up!

    Talk later - OMG do I have enough clothes that fit that I won't look like someone who lost weight and haven't bought anything new yet? May have to get out the sewing machine and do some alterations!
