Re – I’ve found that ‘fried rice’ (w/vegetables) is ‘high’ in calories because of the oil that gets soaked up by the rice during cooking. Some others are also high because of being fried and/or covered with sauce. I love Chinese food; and, the place we go, piles the food on; can eat it for 2 days. Got to figure out how to…

Kay - @$$ does it. LOL!!! Joyce – To open up a word processing program; [well, it works for me] with Windows/Outlook. I ‘minimize’ the MFP community; (and it will take me to my desktop page surrounding it) where the icon appears; I open it up and hit the blank page; and, when I do it is also ‘minimized’. I put them side by…

SueBDew – In this area of the state (SWGA) it is against the law for people to pick up nuts that have fallen on the right-of-way (or under pecan trees whose limbs hang over the fence that surrounds the pecan trees. We occasionally still see people getting out of their cars to do so; but, if they get caught they are given a…

Janetr – Now in Swannanoa, NC – Beautiful view! I’d have to build up a ‘lot of courage’ … not so sure that I could have my eyelids tattooed without a little “Jack in my coke”; and, I don’t even ‘like’ Jack or 'coke' (haven't had one in 2 years). I’d have to have something that would basically calm me down so that my…

THIS IS A LONG POST; BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOWN FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND, SO IF YOU DO NOT CARE TO READ IT, JUST SKIP IT. I have highlighted the names of people that I did respond to one or more of their posts. Michelle – I agree, that happens … even here. At the Women’s Retreat found a couple of ladies to play “Mexican…

Mary from Minnesota – When talking about ‘medical marijuana … since we don’t have it in Georgia, and probably won’t for some time; or at least, I don’t think so. What does high CBL and lower THC mean? Not that I would try it because of the bipolar meds I take, since I cannot take any OTC meds unless the MD says it is ‘ok’.…

I bought the 'coolest' thing the other day; it is a motion sensitive commode light. It turns on when you go into the bathroom; then turns off when you leave. Now I will no longer 'miss' sitting on the darn thing; and, I won't have to turn on light and disturb DH. He thought it was stupid, until I attached it to the…

Mary - Thanks! Love 'em both. Both keep me laughing and happy! Thanks for the compliment as well. I can really see the difference between my avatar and the picture as it relates to the weight I have lost. I will soon post a 'before' picture and an 'after' picture. Just can't decide if I will wait until I get to my goal…

Dammit – Lost my ‘post’. Now, to start over. Lois – I’m planning on the time when I can take more clothes to the ‘drop off’ place. Since I have not found good luck with the consignment shop; might try another. Or else, do the ‘donation’ route and take the ‘deduction’ off my taxes. Janetr okc – That is one huge tree; we…

Sherry – BROWNIES! Hear it has a lot of good fiber! Just kidding … Did you have your tiny house customized for you? I’ve enjoyed watching the show and how ingenious some people can get to use every square inch of space. I might be able to live in one, if I were single; but, I like my ‘space’; but, being able to go wherever…

Kim - I hope you get to feeling much better real soon! {{{{{hugs}}}}} Lois - That is what we call a NSV (non-scale victory). While you might have kept them in your closet; you are doing something with those clothes you have shrunk out of; getting them out of the house so there will be no chance to gain it back. GREAT…

Oh dear; he looks like he has had 1 Margarita too many; but in the other picture he was making a 'funny' face.

This is my 'honey'. I have a 'new' haircut thanks to DDnL#2. But, I do find it hard to 'fix' than she did. But, she was standing over me at the time. Lenora

I meant to say that DYS is not going to be here at Thanksgiving. BOO! HOO! But, they did surprise me at Easter; so I can really say too much about it.

Cracker has 'lamb ears' and 'Grinch feet'. Welcome to the 'newbies' Condolences to those who have lost family or friends of the family. I would not 'ever' try Red Bull or any of those 'energy drinks' because of the meds I have to take. MD told me 'specifically' NOT to do so. It's sad that there is no warning on them, not…

Becca - My MnL, especially, did the same; had to have the same ### of presents; and, also keep what she spent even. I sometimes find that more difficult to do. You are so 'blessed' to be able to have all 3 of them home (basically) at the same time ... or having all 3 at the same time. This is the first Thanksgiving that I…

Yeah, got help ... but, got it. Cracker, when she is perky; then Cracker in her favorite sleeping position. Only thing is whenever I tried to take a picture of her sleeping, I'd wake her up.

Nope, that did not work; maybe I'll try it later (did the .jpeg show up inside your post as only a bunch of letters and numbers? Or do I need to go back in and actually 'name' the picture?

Penny – For snow; it is nice to look out the window to see; but, inside for warmth. I know a lot of you who live in Snow Village – love it! I’m too cold natured. Right now it is in the high ’50 or ’60; and my feet are still cold. I can’t get them warm. If I wear socks, they feel wet, so I am usually colder. Have a couple…

Klanders – Just found out, I’m not hosting Thanksgiving! Will miss DYS’s family; but, happy that I am not having to worry about all the cooking, cleaning up, and putting away. I will bake a ham the night before, for the weekend. Re – I ‘think’ he would prefer getting the PB&J over the ketchup; but, that is a close call.…

Joyce – My sister who lives in Miami is redoing her entire condo; both baths, floor and paint in kitchen, new floor throughout. She is ‘trying’ to live through it. I’d be going nuts. We have a bath-and-a-half; toilet tank in ½ bath is leaking, so we can’t use it. I’d love to do some things around my house, we’ve been here…

Re – Thanks! We are all glad that he is still fighting. Now has had some small bites of food and drink. Everybody wonders when they are going to let him have his PB&J sandwich for breakfast; and when they are going to let him put ketchup on just about anything else. When that happens … we’ll know we have him ‘out of the…

Janetr okc – Did y’all climb the lighthouse? We (DH and DGDs climbed the one in St. Augustine (up a winding stairwell) people going up and down at the same time. Hot and stuffy; but, the view was the die for. But, it was my first, only, and last lighthouse to climb. Was this one 6 or 8 sided? The one south of St. Augustine…

llbrixon – Thanks for that ‘tidbit’ of news, never thought of that being the reason. They went in and removed one clot; then they had to get sister to come in and sign a paper to use a stronger anesthesia because he was moving too much. But, the anesthesiologist involved had already done another one of his surgeries. As of…

Becca – DH’s brother went to Vietnam 4x as a MP. Doesn’t talk about it, other than he has told the boys what it involved. Walking the perimeter of their camp. He really hates talking about it; gets extremely moody if he does. He says he saw things that no man ought to see. Kids were friendly; but, would be fighting with…

MountainM – Picture is of a ‘beautiful’ bride, thanks for sharing. Joyce – Sounds like you are describing “crimson pygmy bayberry”. It is an ‘ever-green’ (not really); but, it doesn’t lose it leaves. It has pretty small pink blossoms on it in early spring when the leaves are green; then it turns a really pretty purplish…

Michele – Welcome back!!!! Glad the Goblins and Ghosts and Witches and other things that go ‘bump in the night’ did not get you! I haven’t been doing too much exercise; other than walking around the property. Made a huge mistake by trying to walk on the easement and doing so when it is so dry. Like walking on talcum…
