Good Morning everyone, I got about 3 hours sleep until my neighbor decided to ring my doorbell over and over again. I answered in a stupor for sure. This neighbor of mine likes to drives through my yard with their car. You see they have 7 cars out there and only one driveway to fit two cars comfortably.

I live in a Cul-De-Sac and this neighbor takes up the whole circle blocking my driveway and others. I kept seeing tire tracks from my driveway across my yard in the direction of the neighbors back yard gate, always when I came home from somewhere. So, one day I came home and they were in the middle of moving a broken down car across my lawn having gone through my driveway to get it there.

I guess I don't have to tell you how mad I was and I let the screaming begin. Their teen son was always hitting my house with every imaginable kind of ball in the universe and I saw him hit my truck one day and busted the antenna off. I was constantly telling him to stay out of my yard and all his buddies too. The kid of course told me "Oh well that's how it works". I told him under no uncertain terms would he ever hit my house or car again and to stay out of my yard. He was constantly playing in my yard with his friends. I don't get it. These people have half an acre of land their house sits on and I don't see why they don't put in a gate on the other side of the house and drive their cars back there. Instead, I have watched them drive through the neighbors yard and mine.

I don't think I have ever had neighbors as disrespectful as these guys are. Imagine having no children at home but there are 16 of them in your front yard hitting your house and truck with their balls. Argh!

So anyway, done ranting. The daughter whose car they were pushing across my lawn tells me that her truck doesn't work and she needs to take the baby to the doctor. She wants to drive the other car parked in front of it and on the side of their house across my lawn to get it out Argh! These people are horrible neighbors.

Good Morning everyone, I promise to try and have a good outlook on life today.

Judyelaine1952, what foods are you trying to enter? I'll give it a try for you.

I've been playing around with it and have found a cumbersome way to do it. It's just when you go to log a baked russet potato and it tells you 8 oz is 27 calories it is very aggravating...especially when you can't find a way to fix it. I finally found one I could work with. Thanks

And yes those extremely incorrect numbers are driving me crazy too.

It looks like NM is actually pulling the plug on the 21st so all info should be saved by the 20th?

Mike told Ferris NM will be up all day Wednesday, the 21st. They wont pull the plug until midnight (Pacific time).

Wow, that means 2am my time.

Good morning, having breakfast with some friends this morning. That makes eating out twice this weekend. Hoping I can stay on target.

Arobed, I am glad you ejoyed homecoming. Those were always fun. I saved everything I could to a word document and then saved it to an external hard drive.

It messed up often but I got what I could. Now I am trying to save recipes from others and think I might give up on it. Journals are slow as well but I am stubborn and will probably keep trying to the end.

Just a quick note because I've made a great discovery I want to pass on. I have been able to copy and past my recipes into the recipe data base here fairly easily and am going to try and get them all in ASAP. Go to the recipe tab and when you get there there is a choice to add your recipes manually. By keeping 2 windows open I am able to quickly able to copy and paste, make sure you pick the servings size and label the recipe press match ingredients and then presto, it gives you the option to save. If the ingredients don't match do a quick search to find a comparable one and add it instead. I want to get my basic recipes and all my home canned recipes in. I can always tweak the amounts the next time I make the recipe. I am starting to feel a little better since I've figured this out. It sure beats scanning them in my documents every time I want to make a recipe and then adding it in here manaually. hope this makes sense. I had to do a little experimenting since my computer is a pain, but I finally got it!!!!

Wow, that works really great for the ingredients.

Hmmmm, MFP doesn't distinguish on the sodium for those older. Just noticed that. Started to check it out a little bit more.

Tammy, tell Tally we're with her but we have to adjust.

Birthday party was fun. Most everyone made it.

I also learned later if you take out all reference to name brand after pasting it usually matches everything and goes even quicker!!

Good Morning.

Marcie, thanks for the info on Gramma, I printed out your list of names and am adding to it as we go along.

Elaine, thanks for the tip on recipes, I've saved that in a "helpful hint" folder and will refer back to it when I need it.
I know you mentioned before, but I can't find it...what is the date of your surgery? And I'd like to verify that you'll be at the same hospital as last time.

Going to save more info, trying to find all of Sylvia's posts regarding the antics of Mama.
