Good Morning Gals
Sorry I have been gone for so long. I really need to catch up! Looks like a lot has happened....some good. I am still under the influence of "swimmers ear", it is pretty annoying, the medicine hasn't been a magic cure-all yet. Still another 5 days to go...
The old diet has been wanting more attention....I guess I have "blown it" for the last couple of days.... it is a downer to realize you are not sticking to it 100 percent, but the truth is, in reality, not too bad....one day at 1800 calories and yesterday at 1400...but still....isn't what I wanted to have happen.
Lynn...praying for good news from you....I had a friend who was feeling bad, she went to the Dr, they didn't know what was "in there", they did surgery, and found a 3 inch long darning needle in her liver. Cannot imagine how that got there, and neither could she...was the strangest thing I had ever heard of.
Linda...DIET is certainly a 4 letter word...cute... much cuter than what I can think of for it at the minute!!!
PHYLLIS...LINDA...LYN...I'll get the lasagna recipe posted...it used turkey sausage...first time I had ever eaten it, I really liked it, ground turkey seems so bland...but turkey sausage is very tasty. Calories a bit higher than plain ground turkey, but the taste is worth the few more calories.
PAULA...hope all works well for your dad in his new surroundings.
CAT...Playing jacks and sticking your arms out the windows just isn't the same as an adult!! I loved to do both as a kid...I have tried to teach the grandkids how to play jacks...doesn't work the same my hands are just too big, makes catching the jacks too easy. (My kitten clawed my exercise ball a few too many times....it looks pretty sad and lifeless right now...afraid I will have to give it a burial.
JOANNE...I worked for a person who was related to the Hersheys (in PA).... even though he (Hershey) seemed to be generous with his kids program, it was evident he didn't have a dime for his relatives. Sad story in there somewhere, but of course the story happened about 80 years ago, and I didn't go into it...but lack of money resulted in the death of a 3 yr old child.
Theresa....the nursing home I worked at was just the opposit...they pushed food down the throats of the poor residents, even when they didn't want any, you would see them spit it out across the table, throw it on the floor, and whatever to make the aides stop feeding the stuff to them, however the food was SO TERRIBLE I can't believe that anyone in their right mind would eat it anyway. No need to ask for seconds, the firsts were plenty hard to swallow.
HI to Linda D, Zoe, Lily and anyone who I may have missed!! Hope to catch up with you again sooner.
