[/quote] I haven't tried this but I have heard that you can peel and cut a sweet potato like french fries, toss them in some olive oil and spread them on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with some sea salt and bake them in a hot oven (400 degrees F) till they are crispy...I have had sweet potato fries in restaurant and they are…

what a touching post....getting teary eyed thinking of your mum being so caring and compassionate...and your evening was DEFINITELY worth any extra calories!

oops...not so good at this...sounds like i need to get a heart rate monitor as well!!! just spent 15 minutes chasing a horse that didnt want to be caught...would love to know what that burned....

Hello everyone Trying to be more positive this week… Thank you all for your concern, kindness and support…I am still so lonesome but I will get thru it. Laura – remember the BEST things come in small packages! It really is hard to watch our pets as they age…the dog we have is only 5, but our housecat is 17….and she is…

yikes! knee replacement! have had that done and unfortunately am one of the few who did not have great results...just the luck of the draw i guess, as i know my doctor is a good one, he put my ankle back together when i broke it into a million pieces and have had no trouble with it at all. anyway, where are you playing? my…

wow my horse would love it if i walked up some of those hills i ride her on! she is lazier than i am...lol...but b/c of my knee i can't really mount and unmount without a block....well i could try but i might end up walking all the way back to the barn...i could do it on the pony tho, he is much shorter! sounds like you…

just marking my spot. too late and too tired to do more. havent really figured out how this part 2 works i assume that at a point the thread stops accepting posts and another has to be started. hope everyone had a great sunday and now its monday am (or the middle of the night, if you prefer) and i am off to bed. :yawn:

beautiful day here in nc...:glasses: hope to ride again today...that lazy mare really needs work, but she is a bit stiff in her neck from spring vaccinations...maybe i will go easy on her today....and on me, the nasty old CFIDS seems to be rearing its ugly head today.:ohwell: is anyone else out there on fosamax? i take it…
