Good morning. Jan so glad you’re back...and safe from the tornado and that wretched driver.
Roger hope you stay warm. I miss the seasons but then again am spoiled by the warm weather convenience... no scraping windshields no shoveling snow. Fitbit in the pocket on a treadmill wouldn’t count the steps because there’s no location change.
This morning I go for my cardiac stress test and echocardiogram. Mildly nervous (I hate IVs and I don’t want anything to be wrong). I do like my fancy scale. It was only about $24 on Amazon. Not a necessity but it’s interesting to see all the data. I like data!1 -
Hi JanGood morning!
You are too cold for me up there!! And cold for you means really cold!!
Some of those recipes looked yummy, especially the cabbage pie that was made. Some of the recipes in the last video, (not the only, lol...
) were awfully high for strict keto also. If your portions were in keeping, it might not be worth making for such a small amount. You have success freezing things, so of course always an option..
Butter here is only a little more than margarine, depending on the brand. I also use it less as what you are making can really be targeted specifically and is often less food than usual per day. I would not have believed bullet proof coffee myself if I had not tried it. The butter must be mixed with an emersion blender- that is a must. I am not fond of most flavored coffees.
It sounds as if they are selling a Butter and Margarine blend as butter. It just is not the same, We grew up using Margarine due to cost and ever since then I think of it as Yellow Grease and only use butter. My Brother does use ICBINB AKA I can't Believe It's Not Butter, TBH I have no problem telling that it isn't butter
Does the Butter make the immersion blender harder to clean or Do You just run it in hot soapy water to clean ?
They had a Theater in the Round out in California near where my Aunt & Uncle lived. They had some popularity and then sort of dropped off of the Radar. Is this the one You went to, I googled from curiosityMy daughter absolutely loves Patti Lupone. She would love to see her in anything!! How lucky to be able to take in all those shows..probably a really great time period in Broadway history. I saw Yul Brenner once in Cleveland in a small theater in the round. It was a great venue..and I do not quite remember where exactly it was located. Bugs me, I can think of no one I know living that could tell me. I remember we would go to Warrensville Heights, I think, to a Brown Derby for supper on the same day..I remember seeing Tom Jones and Mitzi Gaynor there too. ( theater, not B.D.!) A long time ago!! I enjoyed it a lot, but Jenny said they were not the best touring crew and had expected better. Not in the same league as the original cast for sure!!
Jenny said the Atlanta tickets were running over $400.00 for the nosebleed section for Hamilton, that new musical. She did not like a lot of the newer music in it, which included some rap...though the critics have all said it is excellent. I would not pay that, lol.. She said she would to ever see Patty Lupone!!
I was thankful to see anyone on that day!!
Val, great job on losing!! Hope your bruising heals soon!! I need to exercise for sure!! Not just run like a chicken with her head cut off!!
Very sad article on the "mini pigs."
Hope everyone has a very good day!! ...Jan
https://case.edu/ech/articles/f/front-row-theater
FRONT ROW THEATER
The FRONT ROW THEATER, built at an approximate cost of $3 million, was completed in 1974 and opened on July 5 of that year. It was located in HIGHLAND HTS. on Wilson Mills Road near I-271
Tom Jones and Mitzi Gaynor should have been able to do a great show with their experience.
Hamilton from the advertisements on the local TV stations has no appeal to me and It could be my age but neither does Rap or I think of it Garbage and noise. Then I also see on the TV news where some rap artists, I use the term artists loosely Physically attack others, Class acts the are not. I would not pay $4 to see Hamilton unless I could resell the tickets at a profit.
Mini Pigs, There is a lot of fraud out there in the pet area. Another sad time for animals will be Easter and baby Chickens and Rabbits. Why anyone thinks they are a good idea is beyond me. At least Rabbits can be a good pet.
Oh well, Moving On

I think I would miss the seasons and would not like the humidity and heat
Different people have different weather likes. We had a UPS driver at work who Loved Snow, Not something I like BTW.
The Cuisinart kitchen scale we have is OK. One feature my brother wishes he looked for is a zero button so as to allow changing things and then just hit the button to zero the reading. As it is You have to Hold the Power button until it turns off then hit it again with whatever on the scale to zero it out before adding anything. I hope I'm clear ?
I can see why You would hate the IVs.
Good Luck with the testing.

Good morning,
Thank you Roger! I believe that theater in the round was it! I enjoyed some of the other archived photos from the Case University too that I could see. I forgot how much of Cleveland's past is preserved. I went back to the area once, but it had changed so much, I was totally disoriented there, lol.. The neighborhood's were the same, but the system of freeways and other infrastructure since built was amazing. One of the areas I knew very well has multi freeway exchanges which just blew my mind. But the places where the houses were, remained as I remembered 45 years ago. Amazing journey. I wish I could go back just once more. Seems silly, but just something about it...it was where I grew up.
I have a nice place here where I am thankful to be, but Alabama was not where I envisioned retiring. So unlike my interests, though I like the warm weather, rare snow and being close to the ocean if I want to go. There is an element here though that they are years behind in their thinking sometimes, and somewhat uneducated as to the world outside their county, and proud of it. Southern hospitality and charm makes up for some of it.
With you on the rap music and lifestyle. So much of today's music and culture, like TV shows and movie I do not find at all appealing. Real news barely exists anymore. No wonder older people focus on a different time as they age, lol. All your posts were very interesting today.
Val, I hope your tests went well today. I know it is more nerve racking with the kind of care you have experienced in the past. Hope all the results help in some good care for you!! Keep up the mindful work you are doing towards your health!!
Hope everyone stays safe and warm!!! I am ready for a slight warming..not this week I do not think, however!!

Hi Jan. Thanks. I was most nervous about the IV insertion because of the hospital blowing every single vein last year. Fortunately the vein this lady selected worked just fine. I get the results next week. But sitting there waiting, I marveled at the small and seemingly fragile look of the heart and I felt very sad that I haven’t been taking care of mine. For 35 years I've forced my poor little heart to work extra hard because of my size. I felt okay during the tests, but when I got home, I only worked for an hour and a half and felt really shaky and sick. So i logged off and took a nap. I thought I’d set my alarm to get Em from school but apparently i set it for earlier than it was, do it was ready for the next day. Luckily, Em sent me a text asking when I’d be there. I wasn’t that late, but felt badly.0

If I said I feel like going back to the old neighborhood where I grew up for the first few years of grade school, Thus I know exactly why You wish that too. I might have been 10 years old when the family moved to NJ and I still remember the old street address

One reason I do not watch many of the TV shows is the Politicizing of them. Especially the Late night talk shows and SNL. Once I skip past the Political port ion of the TV news 20% of the news broadcasts are gone. Thankfully I can watch via the DVR and skip over the Commercials and Political BS.
I refuse to think of what passes as music as real music.
I am happy You are getting some good out of the News Links, I try to be selective.
Have a Good Day

Good morning!!
Another gray and rainy day with maybe up to 3 inches of rain. A possibility of a couple of snow flurries on the backside of it for 6 am, no accumulation at all. And possible tornado watches for this evening as that front moves in. We all may get whiplash from the changes in weather...but the bugs will survive!!
Val, I am sure Em understands, and you were there! I can not tell you how often I have set my alarm for PM rather than am and thought I had checked it, or hit the hour by mistake and threw it off..You are not alone!!
I had keto pancakes and sausage for dinner last nite. So good!! I LOVE breakfast for dinner!!
I am still getting used to my smart phone..Same things as my computer but formatted differently. It can be enough to throw off this non tech-y person!!
The shakiness and sickness is very much a reaction to those tests. Many people have that.
Love that scale, Val. Mine does fat, water, bone density and muscle density, and weight of course..but I think yours would be more useful. I do not remember seeing it when I bought mine. Sounds like you got a good deal!!
Hang in there everyone!! Have a pleasant day!! ...Jan1 -

Mini Review. I liked the new NS Cheese-steak Pizza, 250 calories and Total Carbohydrates 32g . I did take the Peppers off of it before heating. There was plenty of Cheese, Some diced onions and Beef. It did not have as much beef as shown in the picture of it. That quite possibly is due to a Quality control problem as I have had the other Pizzas where some were light on toppings and others that were over. The way I look at it the average is OK.

the weather forecast for here in NJ is 1 to 2 inches, As I sit here typing this I can hear a heavy rain falling. The heaviest rain is due later today around Noon and it should be out NJ by 3PM. I hope You avoid being anywhere near a Tornado.
I have done that too, I hate it when I set the alarm wrong, Luckily I rarely need it these days.
I see no reason not to have Breakfast for any meal of the day. That makes me wonder if I want to have my Dinner as Breakfast and Breakfast for Dinner and Lunch as Lunch.I had keto pancakes and sausage for dinner last nite. So good!! I LOVE breakfast for dinner!!

Hi Val2 -
Good morning,
Well, I did get up at 6 am this morning to meet some friends for coffee. There were a few snowflakes but not many. I am glad they were right, as I did not want to be caught in any surprises our on the road, lol..It was hard enough to see in the dark the first few minutes, but after I got on the freeway daylite came and behold I could see better.
Okay, the family being hacked thru Nest was creepy. I do not want that technology! My daughter did the Pri-med thing for a while, and I finally convinced her to see a regular doctor. The continuity of care is important, but you sure do need someone you like. They are great for the week ends though. Everything always happens when the doc is closed.
Today will be interesting. I had greek yogurt for breakfast but it had granola on top. Panera just has no good keto options. I also got a free bagel, and I brought that home. I am not supposed to have that at all...but did not say no, lol..So today I will think weight watchers and get to negligible carbs tomorrow. Still better than coming home with an entire baguette which I would have loved to have!! This is so long term I am trying not to be too obsessive about it! Probably not be sharing info with my daughter about this wandering from my usual eating day, however!
I have consumer telephone also and I love them. I am on my phone a lot to me, not like some though, and I thought I might be close to using my limits and I am not. It is only 10 dollars more at $30.00, so I consider that reasonable. Some of the girls I had worked with had phone bills in the hundreds every month. Crazy!!!
Take care all!! ...Jan0 -

You were an Early Bird, Unusual for You. The Big problem with night driving is that about the time Your eyes get acclimated to to dark streetlights or headlights ruin it.
I have no interest in any of that Internet connected things including Alexa. Baby monitors have been hacked too.
I do agree that the doctor is usually closed when You do need them. I have used a Urgent Care place in the last year.
I would have had a hard time telling them to leave the Granola off of the Yogurt too. Free Bagel, How Can You pass that up, Just curious, do You eat them plain, Buttered or Cream Cheese and possibly jelly to go with those ?Today will be interesting. I had greek yogurt for breakfast but it had granola on top. Panera just has no good keto options. I also got a free bagel, and I brought that home.

Good morning!
Careful on those icy puddles! Looks like we are in for more arctic weather as the next week rolls by. It is January, but I would also like to feel I am not living in Chicago, lol... I feel for you Roger! My heat feels like it is running constantly the last few weeks. I dread my bill.
Caffeine withdrawal give me headaches too. So do these fronts moving in lately as they go from one extreme to another. My joints feel it too. I picked up some chicken bone broth from Public's. Not as good as homemade for benefits maybe but less trouble. I mix it with some lemon juice and a little Italian season to warm it slightly and it is not a bad taste. While slightly higher than reg broth in cost, at $4.00, it makes quite a few 1/2 cup servings so to me seems economical enough.
Good articles.. I find myself running up my plastic a little more lately in the last few days before a payday. Something always comes up last minute and I do not want my balance too low. Usually it is a church meal, or someone asking me out. But I purposely keep the amount I can borrow low, so I am well below what they were talking about. I could do better, however!!
The alligators freezing themselves is fascinating..though I have always known animals are much smarter than man, lol...Okay, you will disagree and laugh at me...but in Birmingham, I am fully behind those teachers and the discipline. They also did not say how they were disciplined so I am thinking not too severe. The gangs up there and the violence are so bad there...and the way they dared they knew they were doing something wrong. What worries me more is the fact that they have been exposed to any influence that made them think of doing that in any fashion.They got that from somewhere, and that needed to be addressed and stopped. I have been in these classrooms and they are not classrooms of old, or even my children's classrooms. You would be surprised what happens at what age now. I have seen teachers having to stop 6 and 7 th grade students from full on sex in the bathrooms... 6th graders!! The fact it was in Birmingham also makes it more urgent also..Just my take in it...
Like the beginning of Lord of the Rings...and with Tolkien he had the theology to know it..."The world is changing..What was once is gone and is lost to the world of men..."

Hi. No headache today. Plus quiet day at work. I’m so overloaded im starting to drop things. But I think I’ve at least identified and prioritized my tasks. I will say that meat does keep the belly satisfied for much longer than veggies and carbs/sugars. I’m rarely hungry and keeping below target calories.
Such a relief that the furloughed workers will get paid, at least for a few weeks.
Jan - hope you warm up a bit. San Antonio weather has been quite pleasant. The violence and sex start even before kids go to school. Little ones watch big ones, and sometimes worse. Parents are absent or hands off. Terrified about where society is heading.
Roger - I’m with you...no interest in Alexa! There was a time when i had multiple credit cards maxed out due to my older daughter’s bills. I’m making good progress and am conscientious about spending (except when I have foster doggos...i spoil them).
Take care, Val1 -
