    Amber – we know our bodies better than any doctor. Doctors take care of multiple patients, and every patient is different. We know ourselves better than them. Sometimes it makes me wonder why go to a doctor, why not tell them what’s wrong and how to treat it? But then there are times when we just don’t know all the medical facts (only there are times when doctors aren’t aware of the most up to date procedures)

    Katla – I’m so sorry that the doctor doesn’t recommend surgery for your husband

    Cous Cous is a breaded rice

    Cous Cous is actually a pasta made from durum wheat.

    Unfortunately, it tends to be a bit higher in calories than something like brown rice but despite the high calorie count, I find it less filling. I like it ... but it isn't worth my calories. :neutral:


    Cous Cous - 100 grams - 1530 kJ

    Brown Rice - 100 grams - 717 kJ

    Barbie I learned today you can use the enhanced license with a car to go into Canada and Mexico, but not for flying. He got what is called a Real license that you can use for flights in US. You still need all the documents for that one. An enhanced license is another $14. He didn't think the Enhanced was worth it. Things have changed in the three years since I got mine. I will have to go through this process in a couple of months. Our DMV is having all kinds of problems here when they switched the computer system a couple of years ago. Learning we are living in a time where patience is key.

    Mint is a perennial here and dies back in the winter. Still it does spread like a weed, so i do pull out what I don't want. I can see where it would be problem in a warmer climate.

    Although I don't log as much as I should, I've got a pretty good idea how many calories I'm consuming ... at least up till dinner time. Dinner time does kind of depend on what my husband decides to make. :)

    11:45 am snack - crackers & cheese - 100 cals

    2:00 pm lunch - rice, chicken, veg - 337 cals

    3:30 pm snack - yogurt (175 grams) - 73 cals

    4:30 pm snack - either apple (or other fruit) or crackers & cheese - 100 cals

    Sub-total: 610 cals

    7:00 pm dinner - lots of veg + something else - usually about 400 cals, but occasionally more. Once in a while even as much as 700 cal!

    Sub-total: 1010 cals


    And then a couple evening snacks around 8:30 pm and 11 pm. :) These might depend on how much exercise I've done and how many calories I've got to work with.

    Also occasionally, if I'm feeling really hungry during the day, there might be an extra crackers & cheese or something.


    This works for me ... most of the time. :)

    Good morning beautiful ladies 💐💐!The elementary school that’s just 2 minutes from my house has Really gone downhill since my children went there,so that’s not an option.There is a school that will be on her way to her New job(if he doesn’t make her lose it),but she’d have to get a waiver and she’s not sure she’d get one.I think she’s afraid of making him angry and that’s why she’s reluctant to change schools.I worry if I step in that it could make things worse for them.Around here you really can’t speak to anyone “off the record “.
    The heat and humidity have been terrible-my heat rash is back with a vengeance.Witch hazel is the only thing I’ve found to dry it without drying too much.
    Mint-I grow chocolate mint and just mint.I use both in my nutriblast I the morning. I use cinnamon oil and water for snakes and ants and we’ve had an abundance of both this year.Prayers,hugs,live❤️,and so much gratitude for y’all.

    Try those gel ice packs. I found they helped me when I've had heat rash. No lotions or anything, just clean skin and ice packs.

    Also most sunscreen is really horrible ... I'd put it on, go cycling, and break out in the most terrible heat rashes. Until I discovered Neutrogena Dry-Touch Sunscreen. It was OK.

    BIAT (Brain Injury Association of Tasmania) asked me if I would be a part of this project ... a video resource. I thought about it for a little bit and then I agreed. My husband is part of it as well.

    Go to the link: http://www.brainlink.org.au/page/125/ilc-launch-of-new-brain-injury-resources

    Read through the intro and scroll down to the videos. Ours is "In the Hospital".
