    Machka I just added 3 more older works.

    They're really good too ... but I especially like that new one. The colours work for me. :)

    Taking me on the iPhone multiple tries to get in here daily still it gives me all sorts of fun sayings. Pushing star to bypass when I get passed the no connection screens. They hopefully will fix this soon but super glad the food log area works no matter what!

    Apple Pie 🥧 to cut down on sugar never use tart 🍏 apples! Use sweet apples 🍎 the natural sugars sweeten the pie so you can cut the amount of sugar used in the pie considerably! Saves money too!

    Term Family - never ending changing thing. Many households for my Daughter generations never had a biological father in the picture so a StepFather to even a grandfather gets the title Dad. Some have a Father but it was arranged older Woman who’s hubby wouldn’t let her have kids so divorced then meets a friend willing to help her IVF a few kids he may or may not choose a title (Godfather,Dad,Moms Friend, or chose to cut ties to let her do as she wishes). You have kids being raised by their parents but we’re not created from their Sperm,egg,or both they used a Donor to family member or even friends. Some Moms are carrying the children for their Daughters so can be multiple choices on where egg y sperm come from then it’s placed in Grandma 👵. Then they decide the names they want for after baby. (Grandma,2nd Mom,Biological Mom,etc) .Laws are still catching up in many states. Friend of mine y her Husband used IVF had a baby son.His ex wife y him had Daughters naturally that were adults by then in their 30-40’s. After his death the courts awarded everything to the ex wife y her kids saying IVF it wasn’t his! That was 20+years ago when IVF was still uncommonly used the young mans of course older than my Daughter now but his Mom found herself penny-less raising a baby her parents lived in another country! Luckily his parents took her in y she found a job scraping by until he was grown up. Surely the laws in Texas have caught up but who knows! Got to have lawyers for everything now of days. He grew up calling his Uncle Dad who took him to all his sports y events.(Too young to remember his real Dad at time of death)

    My newest Tuna Recipe:
    Tuna- 6-12cans in water drained
    Dijon mustard- very few calories use a lot
    Pepper- few calories I use a lot
    Purple onion- cut finely use 1/2 of an onion
    Lemon juice- few calories a quick squirt
    Mayonnaise- lowest calorie one you can find
    Mix can add celery to substitute salmon for tuna just use less mayo if you do.

    Rita-I apologize for your actual temps being that hot 🥵,our heat index is supposed to be 114 on Saturday.The humidity hurts a lot of people here and the heat is killing our crops.Storms took out power for some here last night.Its back on now,but some where quite uncomfortable for a bit.Im out in it every day and prefer it to the cold.And I’ve been getting those annoying messages also

    I understand about the humidity! I lived in middle TN for 16 years! Heat and humidity hurts many. Including my arthritis, my DH’s arthritis and the heat makes me light headed and feel faint. Worse with humidity. Humidity is one reason I’m in New Mexico now.

    No need to apologize and I’m sorry if I came across rude. Didn’t mean to.

    while I searched the world for Dulcolax liquid for my “mother-in-law”.

    Several of you have talked about cleaning around your spouse/partner. As single/never married...

    Connie in KY

    I’m curious how you can have a mother-in-law if you’ve never been married???

    It’s a very long story, but I’ll try the abbreviated version. I wanted to make sure that my daughter would be taken care of if anything ever happened to me. My sister just can’t be trusted, so my very best friend ever did a second parent adoption. He is legally her father even though we never married. His mom is a grandmother to my daughter in every sense of the word. She calls me her daughter-in-law, so I joke that she is my “mother-in-law by proxy”.

    I know some would not agree with the arrangement, but it works for us

    Connie in KY

    What an awesome way to provide for your daughter!

    My mother just now decided to have fried chicken for the family tomorrow night after my brother's funeral. I guess I could just eat one piece and try to eat something else before or after. It's going to be a tough day, the last thing I need is to eat high fat. The chaos of family is already getting to me.
