Machka -My MIL told me that if you are worried a cucumber might be bitter to do this. Cut the end off of the cucumber and then rub in a circular motion, the piece you cut off onto the rest of the cucumber. A white substance will form around the edges. The longer you do it, the more there is. Once you are done, cut off…

I’m in! I like the calories in Green and it works with the green shamrocks! Thanks!

@aubyshortcake - Ive had to have those conversations before they can be awkward. I know there was more but I didn’t take notes and can’t remember. Today I am definitely NOT in the Green. Ate well avoided Chinese food at lunch when everyone ordered and ate what I brought. Rodger wanted burgers for supper, this is only the…

This was my memory on Facebook this morning from 4 years ago. The top photo is my eldest daughter, Lauryn. The bottom is her daughter taken at the same age in the same dress. Funnily enough there are pictures of my Mom, myself and Lauryn at a different age in sitting poses and we all look alike.

Flea - Hugs to you it sounds like a true mess. Carol - I don’t think that’s cheating, I think it’s smart. Here in Canada we don’t have to worry about those things as much, but my Grandmother signed everything over to my brother and mother years before she passed so the government couldn’t get anything. She even changed her…

@mytime6630 - thoughts and prayers for good results for your husband. @cschmitz110515 - I noticed this morning it was getting light on the way to worn and when I ran out this evening there was still a hint of blue in the sky at 630. Like you, I am don’t with the dark and cold. It’s been a long winter. @PackerFanInGB - I…

@machka - love the description of the filling falling out. From recent experience I will say don’t leave it too long. I don’t have a lot to say tonight. I have read and caught up. I do have to say it was nice driving to work this morning as there was blue skies and I noticed blue in the sky at 630 tonight still. Can’t wait…

Viv - I just love that flooring! Michele - Rodger has completely changed his diet. He is eating much healthier now. He used to eat burgers at least 3 times a week and pizza one other. He hasn’t had a burger in out about a month now, we still do pizza every couple of weeks but he doesn’t eat as much. He has cut back on…

Hi everyone, I have read and caught up yet again. We had three Grands this weekend and they played me out! I need to get back in shape since I’ll be having them more often for the foreseeable future. I was in the red all weekend. I hope that I’ve behaved better today, I still need to log my food for the day. JFT - Tuesday…

Barbara - I hated living there as a teenager, we were 7 miles from town. We couldn’t do any extracurricular activities after school because we only had one vehicle and Dad had it at work. We (Rodger and I) we’re given the opportunity when our girls were little to have two acres given to us if we wanted to build on it. I…

heather - we are working on get back to a “proper” marriage and friendship. I think the biggest problem we’ve had is he had been depressed and didn’t know or acknowledge it. He seems to be getting back to himself now that he is taking care of his health. I do know he has my back 100% and loves me deeply. Rebecca - I am not…

Yesterday I said I would share a photo of the view from my Brother’s porch. The other house in the photo was our parents house. It has been torn down since I took this photo in 2016. I haven’t been home since it was demolished and I’m not looking forward to seeing the empty spot when I go. This was the house I grew up in,…

Heather - I was raised to offer to bring something for a meal at a friends house, either a dessert or salad. Or like you suggested wine. Like you, I would be very upset if someone brought something because they were scared they wouldn't eat what I served. I am a very fussy eater and I "fake it, til I make it" if I run into…

Just got back from driving outside the city for 5 minutes so Michaela could see her stars. We need to do this again in the summer and just lay under them on a blanket for a bit and have a moonlight picnic. She was so excited. I have a video of their reactions. I just don’t know how to post it here. So worth a late night…

Rebecca - have you and your son seen the new show on called LEGO Masters? My Grandson and I are watching the first episode it’s pretty interesting.

I was way behind, 182 posts, I just didn’t have the energy to read each night after work this week so I cuddled up and binge watched tv. Heather and Machka - I love the country and miss it so much. I grew up in 400 acres of forestland. The only chainsaws were my Grandfather’s and the only dog was ours. Now I live in a…

Certainly not in the green today. I didn’t want to use my bank card for just 2.00 this morning for coffee, so bought a McDonalds breakfast. Still would have been ok, but then I was offered bandera bread from Boston Pizza for lunch and ate more than the one piece I said I would have. When I got home from work I was already…

Yesterday and today were the first two day’s since probably August that I was in the green. I didn’t get all of my water in but I got more than I have been so I’ll take it. @TerriRichardson112 - I saw your challenge for the roses. I’m game. I need to go back and catch up on posts I have just skimmed this week. Hopefully I…

@PackerFanInGB - that’s an awesome challenge. I could use something like that. I have a confession to make. Rodger is doing well in his health goals. He is walking 10K a day, tomorrow he is starting weight training after being cleared by the doctor. He is eating and staying within his calorie goals. I am so proud of him.…

@mytime6630 - I’m sorry to hear about your husbands results. You and him will be in my prayers. @HEGoddard0928 - I’m sorry to hear about Matt’s reaction. Hopefully it heals fast and doesn't affect his job. @Faebert - today is my daughters birthday as well. She is 31. My youngest will be 29 on Wednesday. Isn’t Casey’s…

Katla - I hope your hubby is better. I reread books quite frequently every 5 years or so. I find sometimes it’s like I’m going back to visit and old friends and other times like I’m meeting strangers. My husband never opens the same book twice and can tell you plot lines, characters and synopsis years later. Barbara -…

Lisa - I am very much like you when it comes to food. I am a very particular eater and it drives those around me insane. Machka - that super taster thing sounds just like me. I don’t like any spicy or sour food. I can take or leave sweet but not too sweet, I generally don’t eat frosting or chocolate. I love salty, I’ll eat…

That’s a great idea to stay under 1500. Like you I find the idea of 1200 again so daunting.
