This is what I let him do his Senior year of high school! Piercings called "snake bites". They were out before he went into the Navy! That was the deal!

Me, way back in 2011! I was tan, slimmer, but not happy! My husband was getting sicker and sicker. My life was pretty much out of control.
The whole pic. It was our middle son's graduation.
Found this pic in my sons Facebook pics. This is a prime example how smiles don't reflect what is in your heart or head.

Yvonne I am not sure if campho phenique has tea tree in or not. I just remember my dad thinking it was a cure all and it has a strong smell like tea tree oil. It probably reminded him of the tea tree oil. Thinking about it just triggered that memory for me. It more than likely had camphor in it. ( a strong smell too)

Becca ~ Thanks for the picture treats. Yes, you do look very tan. I am glad that bad time in your life is better today.
We have walked the Pom 3 times today and he still has done his business. Hope I don't have to clean up a mess in the morning. I have read you should give them pumpkin when this happens but there is no way this spoiled pet will ingest that.

Margaret - my grandfather (WWI veteran) believed in campho-phenique. When I was 2 - I got into an ant bed and had bites on my feet and legs. Grandpa doctored me with campho-phenique. I swelled and bruised. Mom took me to doctor... they thought someone beat me. I was allergic to the camphor. Flash forward 20 years... I had a fever blister. Put campho-phenique on it and the blister spread across my lip and up my nose. I called my Mom... she said: THROW THAT STUFF AWAY! YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO IT! Now I know...

Rita - so sorry you were scammed. I hate how the world has changed to make it harder to trust in the goodness and honesty of people. There have always been scammers - but with the internet and cell phones it's become much easier for them to reach more people.
There are scams where they pretend to be the IRS. Or a Windows Technician. YouTube has lots of videos where people play along with the scammers to waste their time or aggravate them.
In 2010 was scammed out of $70 for craft supplies I purchased online and never received. I paid with PayPal. The seller kept giving me excuses until the time ran out and it was too late to dispute through PayPal. I tried sending her payment requests through PayPal. I set up another email account and contacted her again as a different person - and she was very willing to fill my huge phony order. Right! I just wanted yo see if she was still scamming...I regret I didn't pursue it and take her to court or something. She disappeared off the internet for a while. But I see her on FB now. Pictures with her children and grandchildren. Think I'll reach out to her again to see if she'll make good on it.
Just checked the internet and see several complaints about her - one into 2012. Makes me angry when I think about it.

JanetOKC: I log my coffee & drink it black. It says that 5 cups are 12 calories. I doubt that all our cups are the same size, but it does give me a summary of what I'm consuming. I don't add creamer and my sweetener is stevia sweet drops unless I am travelling by air. I don't demand scientific level information on coffee calories as long as I'm not adding sugar. :noway:
Becca: I like the positive message on your coffee cup.
I love your family photos.
I have been cooped up too long. I'm feeling tired after doing nothing, and grumpy without provocation. It isn't nice outside, but I might take the dog for a walk anyway. I suspect it will make a difference in the right direction to improve my mood.

My lunch is a repeat of last night's dinner. 1/2 cup rice-a-roni, walnuts, and 100 grams of fresh spinach, with 1/2 of a health bar.
Glad you enjoyed my family pics Katla, I sure do miss that boy!
Nursing a sugar detox headache! Grrrrr!

Just watched a wonderful TV programme on GRAVITY. Didn't understand all of it, but I really enjoyed it.
Like to keep my brain ticking over!
Going to bed to read now.

Salad with Canadian bacon, ground flaxseed and Rsnch dressing. Plus my homemade "Cheezit" crackers/croutons - made with an American cheese slice cut into 16 squares, sprinkled with chili and garlic powder and microwaved for one minute.

Hello ladies:
Rita So sorry to hear about the scam, it feels so very violating and personal. I like to believe in karma that this evil act will turn back on the sender
Lisa thank you for the "yes" tip, I never heard of that one. It is so hard to keep up with all the scams and like someone else said in an earlier post, the on-line dangers are new to us older gals and now it is another place where we have to be vigilant to stay safe.
Had an extremely busy day, worked straight from 0700 until 4:30 with no breaks and just ran from one task to the next. Then came home and together with DH, whipped up our dinner and lunches for tomorrow. Will be the same pace tomorrow so need to breathe
Have a great night. I leave you with a pic of my daughter walking in the beautiful lavender fields in France. Sarah, not in France but wet Ontario.

Becca, I like the pictures you post - food and family! The photo of you and your gorgeous tan and family - sorry it was a sad time for you with DH's health - I think you have the gift of smiling when you don't feel like it to help brighten the day. But, that can be hard on a person. Living on that beautiful coast and being a hearty Oregonian has to help. Glad he's doing better and stabilized.
I stopped putting sugar in my coffee decades ago, but always use a little milk - can't stand it black. I read someplace milk helps prevent teeth staining but I'm not sure about that. I drink teas plain - no sweetener or milk. Black tea does the staining on my teeth no problem-o.
Katla, hope you were able to make it outside for a walk. Nice that it's getting lighter in the morning and staying lighter in the evening - improves our odds of walking safely and not getting drenched!
Lenora, wow, they sure put Louis through a time yesterday. How often does he have this done? Good gravy. Hope he's doing better today.
Michele - cute bumblebee! Great idea using it to brighten up that pool area.
Rori, have a good time in Hawaii! Sounds like you have things all set for your DH. I would always worry about mine when I'd go out of town for more than a day. I discovered mine isn't as helpless as he appears, tho he does have the tendency to climb ladders he's not supposed to climb and do scary stuff with power tools and chainsaws he knows I would not like. He rarely drives anymore but if he does, aims to go when there's little traffic and other shoppers.
Carol in GA, does your Pom like to eat people food like apples? Lately, DH peels an apple each day and shares it with Sophie. She doesn't get a lot, but the "tip" off each slice - enough that she's not very hungry for her crunchies come suppertime. I think it keeps her walks "productive."
Ginger, your salad looks yummy. I'm going to try those cheezits!
I managed to get 2 walks in today plus hit Walmart this morning. DH discovered "Lilyhammer" on Netflix - he's a Soprano's fan and this is along that vein. Almost done with Season 1 and we'll resume it tonight. Well written. Heather, I too don't like the sitting I do in front of the TV and reading/messing on this laptop, but at least walking has to help. I was a lot more active when I worked - up and down to the files, copy machine, etc.

Becca: The heated orb is here a little longer each day, but has been hidden by pesky rain clouds. :grumble: Your food photos are lovely.
Sarah: Your daughter is gorgeous in the lavender field. Enjoy Ontario.
I took the dog for a walk today because it is NOT RAINING!!!!! We walked along the riverfront and had a lovely time. I took pictures to show DH but don't plan to post them here.

Becca - I don't mind if you post pics of your meals. Gives me ideas, really. Say, would you post some of your breakfasts (I'm assuming they're not conventional cereal and milk stuff)
I've pretty well cut out sugar. If I have tea, I almost always have it without anything, same for ice tea, really anything else. I'll make Vince an apple pie (which apples does everyone use and what do you do to not have the space between the apples and the top crust after it is baked -- besides using a crumb topping) and use sugar in that and probably have a taste of it. But I'm really not a big sugar eater or desserts for that matter.
Ginger - your cheesit looks scrumptious
Lanette - I have quite a few other "creations", preying mantis, turtle, ladybug, welcome sign, snail, alligator, dolphins duck, frogs that MIL made, mermaid (just wish it was larger) and probably some others that I'm forgetting. Actually, the ladybug is what got me started in ceramics. I saw it at a friend's house and thought that would be a good way to add color into the pool area. Now you should see our back bedroom with all the bisque that needs to be painted! The gal whose house I go to on Mondays to play mahjongg her dogs think that the romaine lettuce ribs that I take to them are like T-bone steak! they go absolutely wild for it. They also like cauliflower.
Lisa - woohoo!!!!!!!
