WHAT TRIGGERS YOUR BINGES?
If we can see them coming, or know specifically what those triggers are, perhaps we can avoid them. Or is this wishful thinking. So far, the only binges I have had since April 16th are seeing CAKE and EATING it. If I'm not around cake, I seem to do fine. Oh yeah, potato chips..... If I start, I can't stop..... guess I…

Summer Disasters
Well, I finally almost finished fixing my kitchen disaster. Started with pulling off the wallpaper. Bad thing to do, as the backing wouldn't come off. I steamed it, tried chemicals, everything to no avail. Then I started mudding over it, and that brought clumps of the paper backing off; so I re-mudded where the backing…

Good morning, Girls. Peej, are you feeling better? I thought, being a mother of 5, I had seen it all, but last week I came down with Herpangina..... which I caught from a neighbor who works with special need children in the public school.

Why Would Anyone Homeschool -- Totally Off Topic!
I've been asked so many questions that I'm going to try to answer some of them here. :noway: Why homeschool? First of all, any good parent "homeschools" their children, and by that I mean they teach them at home. They teach them how to walk, talk, potty, abc's, and hopefully they teach them good values (oh yeah, we're…

I have been trying to stick to a low carb diet for so many years I believe all my thinking is totally messed up on the subject; which is why I have had so much trouble for so many years. When I went low carb, I formally was not counting calories at all, so I have no idea how many I was consuming. And I tended to lay on the…
