There are always overzealous yahoos possible, but I think the majority of Canadians are mad at Trump (and Elon!) vs ordinary folk. Can always wear a bumpersticker on your jacket that says I stand with Canada or some such sentiment - goodness sakes what a mess 😘 Grapefruit spoons are also great for taking tops off of…

Android. I eat bought kiwis skin on when they are the thinner skinned kind, these local ones have thick, thick prickly skins. You can rub most of the fur off, but the skin still pretty thick. I mostly use them in smoothies. My brother has gardening authority over a tree at his in-laws that produces abundantly! Plus I get…

Yooly, there is a message at the top of the Community page about the new forum editor. Quoting is kinda useless now, even if it doesn't ask for permission. I get capital letters, but often it doubles them! And I don't like the automatic double spacing when you hit return…

Posting a random pic to try it - hit the camera icon at bottom of post box. This is how I froze the local kiwi given to me last fall. It has thick fuzzy skin so I peeled/scooped them out.

@springlering62 are you an international spy? I've never known one in real life! At least, I don't think I have? 🤔 @AnnPT77 - your new scale sounds quite entertaining at any rate! 10 days from now I shall be arriving in sunny Puerto Vallarta 🌞. Just gotta survive 5 full days of daycare first (Spring break starts tomorrow,…

10 days from now I shall be arriving in sunny Puerto Vallarta 🌞. Just gotta survive 5 full days of daycare first (Spring break starts tomorrow, looking after the grandkids 3 days this week and 2 the next). They are my son's children. My (childless) daughter is gifting me this vacation as it is my 65th birthday next Sunday!…

I fold out of the drier straight into the laundry basket, which keeps the hot irons at bay 99% of the time, but I'm not gonna pretend I don't employ one from time to time - must wield authority over the otherwise unwieldy. Or shouldn't that be unwieldly? My phone is in full disagreement…perhaps it should be the…

At least, you think there was fog 🤔 You must show us the finished painting when done Laurie, now that we had the exclusive preview!

Dun dun dun - I am awaiting cataract surgery and now am NOT looking forward to dust bunnies nor the desperate need of fresh paint/good clean that no doubt will greet me on my recovery!! Thanks y'all 😜 Great to hear about your amazing vision though Laurie 🥰

I've been on a grapefruit kick lately too - red or pink, and I do doctor them up with a packet of Stevia…pricey though, at least around here…now if I lived in Florida, you probably get them by the bag lol 😅

🥁 Drum roll please! I have officially dropped the 2nd 5 gallon water jug in weight as of weigh in this morning. I am down 84.5 lbs since joining MFP August 2021. It is dreadful to think of carrying all that weight around now; day in, day out…up & down stairs…everywhere I went! Since starting this final push I've had some…

🥁 Drum roll please! I have officially dropped the 2nd 5 gallon water jug in weight as of weigh in this morning. I am now down 84.5 lbs since starting this push to the final frontier in August 2021. Just lately I can really see a smaller me emerging and my size has dropped - yippee!

I am very good about putting things away so that oldest is up front and gets used first… What I am not as good about is eating from my store! And I make large batches of stuff to put extras in the freezer, which I also excel at stockpiling vs eating lol. I think this will be my goal too, eat from my stock, especially…

Always happy to find new uses for grapefruit spoons 🙂

I have always eaten kiwi with the skins on, but the thin skinned kind. Last fall I found out a variety grows here when I was given some (Vancouver area of BC), but it had a very thick furry skin - almost prickly - so if you rubbed most of the excess off, might be edible - but I used a grapefruit spoon to scoop it out 😉

That is GREAT news, to be sure. My grandkids were griping about something, jist of which that they are very put upon as children...I explained that kids think adults get to do whatever they want, but it's not true - they have jobs and bosses to answer to, bills to pay, and chores. And I said most adults think kids have it…

LoLol, we're Scottish, hence oats vs breadcrumbs…

@springlering62 Hello, my mum always added oats and an egg to extend the Hamburger meat when making burgers - so maybe just an egg, since it's already dry? This quark stuff sounds very interesting!

I saw lots of yellow and purple crocuses out on my walk today! We are having a late Spring , was lovely to see them 😊

I have promised myself a trip to Turkey for a body makeover if I *really* don't like what I see in certain areas once 2 years into maintenance. Now, that's at least 3 years away lol, plenty of time to go back on my word, but I did promise 😁 Did you catch me lurking PAV? Made note of your PC rice recommendation - it's on…

b]NSV[/b] - last September when I started my first round of BodySlims, I hung a pair of jeans on my closet door as a visual goal - they barely went over my butt, certainly could not zip them! I try them on every week, and by the beginning of the 2025, I could put them on & do up the button (with struggle) but still not…

@tysgma welcome! I'm 64 too (for another month!). The 'trick' this time around is simply sticking with it - simple, but not always easy. Any deficit will move you in the right direction, it's just a matter of time if we keep on the path. 🙂

You guys had me googling and checking with Amazon! Per Google: "popcorn tea is the same as genmaicha, a Japanese green tea blended with roasted brown rice. The name comes from the sound the rice makes when it pops during roasting." So now we know!

My goodness, why are you barefoot?? I don't think my feet would ever warm up, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at all... That wall covering sounds diabolical! Is there a thrift store you could get a couple plates, kettle even, from for a couple bucks maybe? Where the heck are you anyway with this strange wallpaper and oddly…

Week 3 BodySlims, down 2.3 - 7.7 total so far this round. Happy with that 😊 NOT however happy with my LNS last night...wiped out any deficit, that's for sure. Hungry evening. Not particularly bad food choices per se, just too many portions. 😳 Today, I go again! 👍 It is not what we do spectacularly, but what we do…

That's hilarious, never heard of them. 😂

Slow and dreamy 'Ring of Fire'??! Moody 'I Want to Dance with Somebody'???!! I think not, snort. I'm with you @springlering62 😁

Our Fall cruise circles New Zealand and makes 3 stops, so will get the flavour of the country for sure.

WOHOO indeed!! That's fabulous Yooly!

I have a Fall trip booked too, at least the main leg of it - cruising from Hawaii through the South Pacific to Tahiti, New Zealand, and disembark in Australia, with a few days in Sydney before flying home. Super excited about this one, all new territory to discover. We may cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii, same ship, or we…
