    Hi Gals,

    Heather - how exciting! I think the waiting in your real estate system is crazy but the just do it on the move part is probably good, no time to get weird/emotional or anything – just do it.

    Sue – Oh dear I am so sorry to hear about DH’s diagnostics, Medicare or disability and/or a direct contact with the manufacture of the meds all can help with the financials – also if he’s a veteran, maybe they can help.


    It’s getting cold here at night (for California) so adding a blanket tonight.


    Smiles

    Kim from N. California

    Sue So sorry. If you haven't looked at this yet, it may be worth spending a few minutes looking at it to see if it will help: https://www.hrsa.gov/get-health-care/affordable/hill-burton/index.html

    Did 1 section of the 10MS Butt Lift DVD, held my plank, then took the extremepump class. The plan for tomorrow is to do some HIIT (haven’t done that in a while)

    Sarah – welcome. You know what I found curbed my sweet craving? When I got the craving if I had some vinegar. Yes, it tastes sour. But that seemed to squelch it. Just wish I could find something that would squelch my desire to have some raw cookie dough, etc. Also, don’t COMPLETELY eliminate sweets, at least not at first. But have only a little bit and soon you’ll find yourself wanting less and less. I totally agree with Kim, you need to do what works for you. I am also a modifier, I just couldn’t completely cut something out. But that’s what works for me

    Speaking of bees, I miss Wendy

    Ginger – we will miss you dearly, but understand and look forward to when you can come back

    Heather – one more day……

    M – sounds like you had a great getaway. I’m so happy for you

    Felicia – I’m not using a candy thermometer. None of the recipes for fudge that I’ve seen have called for one.

    Sue in WA – I’m so so sorry for your hubby and you

    Dana – I’m so sorry to hear about your daughter. Those photos are something else. How scary for everyone

    Michele below is a link to the recipe I use for fudge. I've used it for years and years and it always turns out perfectly.

    Advice please - How do you keep up with all the messages? I am so behind, and out of date with all your news.
    Going to start with the most recent posts and work backwards as starting at the earlier pages and working forward, I never seem to catch up.

    Heather seems you are on the move at last - congratulations.

    I have half an hour, see how many pages I can read in that time.

    Love to all <3<3

    Must go find last year's tax return. DH has been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Co-pay on chemo drug to stabilize the cancer not cure it is $3000 per month. We are applying for help with this as cannot afford it on our own. I really hate this kind of thing. Meeting with these people makes me really anxious.
    Sue in WA

    So sorry ... I hope you're able to get help.

    I had an appointment with a different Dr today.

    When I made the appointment, I heard one word of the name of the place and thought, "Yeah, I know where that is" and today I walked there ... 2.5 km up a gradual hill.

    As I got close to the place, I thought I'd double check the exact location ... but Google Maps said I was an hour and six minutes walk away from it. How could that be? I should be right on top of it.

    I double-checked ... same information. So then I rang the place.

    Turns out that there are two places with very similar names ... in quite different directions!!

    More walking!! Back out to a main road where I could catch a bus. Walking between buses. And then walking halfway up another hill to the right place!! On the way back I walked to a main road and debated about walking all the way back to work, but my feet were starting to protest, so I caught a bus.

    In total, I walked 7 kilometres ... in shoes that weren't meant for a 7 km hike!!

    I've got my feet up now.
    Regarding fudge ...

    The kind I used to make was something like this:
    https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-the-easiest-chocolate-fudge-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-180891

    Or this:
    https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/chocolate-fudge/

    With cocoa powder ... and using the drop in a glass of water method of telling if it was ready.
    Heather ...

    I'm glad to hear you're finally moving!

    Yes! That is the recipe my mom and grandmother used. Turns out great for me, too, when I abide by the temperature guideline.

    Sue- Sending prayers for strength and peace for both you and your husband. <3
    Lisa- I hope you are wearing your suit of armor! Into battle; onward and upward!
    Heather- This is it! By the time I go to bed this evening, you will hopefully have gotten a first nights sleep in your new home! I can't wait to see what adventures come your way! :*
    wizzywig- I think the majority of us do a fair bit of skimming, most days. Don't sweat catching up. As we all post our problems or little glitches we are having, we tend to solve them or they begin to resolve themselves within a few days. We are a chatty group; but we are also a forgiving group and don't expect each other to keep up with all of the goings on. <3

    So...I am beginning to search for recipes using lentils and beans. Does anyone have a favorite recipe or website they go to that they would like to share?

    ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
