WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2017

Oh, whoopsie--and I meant to say on the veggie front, as Heather noted, I absolutely despise them as a group, singly and together. But, as I mentioned early on, I do get more willing to eat them as I get further into any program. And, for the beginning, at least, I don't even enter them as calories--it gives me a little more motivation to eat them. I do, however, log anything I put on them, such as sauces, butter, etc. Thus giving myself incentive to add naked vegetables in wherever I can. It probably won't ever be much, and never enough to have a negative impact on my total calorie level. A few bites and I'm done.

The reason I don't like the vast majority of green vegetables is because they taste quite bitter to me, or worse. Beets, turnips and most root vegetables are a whole different breed of foul--they bear a distinct resemblance, taste-wise, to the mud pies I made as a child. I've been told that my tastes never matured, as I don't like dry wines, either, and for the same reason.

Lisa

Grrrrrrrrrr! I've just rung the post office and the lady from the shop part, not the office, said that they have been "too busy" to sort out the cheque fiasco and it is in the tray to be attended to. :sad: :sad: She did go and speak to the idiot who messed it up. Apparently she has to speak to "Paul" about it to sort it out. I said I was extremely upset as it was a lot of money and I was very worried about it. Grrrrrrrrrr!

Wow!
•Carbs. The carb limits may be a bit tougher to do and track. But I think it'll be worth it. I'll become more aware of my carbs and measure more carefully. I did not subtract the fiber from the carbs. I usually do. But I'm confused about the proper way to do it. I think you have to do it per item and not just by the total.
• Exercise... forgot Fitbit on charger for most of the day. How convenient! ;-)
• Bed by midnight? Nope. Tonight I will.
• Declutter. Ambitious schedule. But I'll do office supplies today.

Have a great day!

Hello ladies,

Hi all - I've got to share this little story ... My boys grew up going to Catholic Churches and Parochial Schools; neither one is married to a Catholic.

DDnL#2 is a cosmetologist in Natchez, MS; and, one of the ladies she does hair for brought her teenage daughter in to get a haircut and style; which meant she also had her hair washed. She got a rag out, put straight shampoo on it and started rubbing the 'dirt' off the girl's head. She asked her what she was doing? Tami tells her that she had some dirt on her forehead and was just trying to get it off. The girls starts laughing; Tami follows her out to the main part of the salon and the girl is still laughing; first thing her Mother asks is, 'where are your Ashes'. She told her "Tami washed them off; well, she 'scrubbed' them off." Come to find out they always get their pictures made as a family with their Cross of Ashes on their forehead. She was so embarrassed and said she did not know what it meant. They said it was the Beginning of Lent, and then left. She goes home and tells Will about it and he burst out laughing. "Tami, the 'dirt' was the sign of the Cross and most Catholic leave them on all day as it is the beginning of Lent." Shrove Tuesday is the end of Mardi Gras; when you do what you are going to have to give up for Lent. Give up eating certain foods, smoking cigarettes, or drinking, etc.. She said, 'oh, so that is why they were laughing at me'. All I was trying to do was get the 'dirt' off her face.

She then called us and told us about it. We were both laughing. She had heard the stories of Shrove Tuesday and it being the End of Mardi Gras; but, never knew what it meant. Louis was telling her that Shrove Tuesday is when all the partying (reveling) went on because people were going to 'give up something' for Lent (40 days) starting on "Ash Wednesday". She asked him, like what? He said eating certain foods, drinking, smoking, (then he really started playing with her); and, said, 'oh things like having sex and kissing'. She said, 'uh, Papa; Mallory's in the car, so he quickly changed the subject; things like gossiping, anything that you normally do that might have become a 'habit' you want to break. She felt so bad about it. I told her 'don't worry about it, she can always go back and have them done again'. She'd just be 'blessed' twice.

Tami said there was so much that Will had never told him about his 'faith'. I grew up Baptist; and, wanted Louis to take me to the Catholic Church. We then went through Catechism classes together. His first wife had no problem signing papers for the Church to set their marriage aside. They were not married in the Church. Lots of paperwork; but, her 2nd husband was a Catholic and they were bring his daughter up in the Catholic Church. She had used that as a ruse to allow him to let her husband adopt her so people would not ask why her name was different. However, Louis knew there was a lot more to it than that and would not agree to it. But, it would give his 'ex' the right to 'actually join' the Catholic faith, although she had been doing it all along.
