Fondest Greetings all!
Gee where to start!
Charles Pogue, I have to ask where you got the idea for Dragon Heart ? I did indeed find the book on Amazon and bought it. I have the DVD movie.
I also want to send continued good vibes to Joe! May time have wings for him and you, William F. Orr!
Jane, did you get my e-mail? Or was it the one sent back me, like thought?
Jennifer & Jose. Just today I found Carb Smart Ice Cream bars made by the folks who make Klondike Bars. 5g net carbs per serving. Made with Splenda. I haven't had one yet but I will let you know how they taste.
I've found low carb tea and bread and just all kinds of things. I'm very grateful that I didn't have to give up my tea. I switched to decaff but that is ok. I mostly drink herb teas.
I am wondering how good the ice cream bars are going to be because I've found that I like Splenda in my tea or anything hot but when I tried to use it in ice tea, it had a funny taste. I've taken to just drinking a bottle of water or I put a cap of Real Lemon Juice in a glass and pour the water in the glass and stir it.
I also know what you mean by being "fixed on the numbers on the scale". I know I'm losing inches as well but it's sooo depressing to think you should have lost a couple more and you either are at where you were or (horrors!) have slipped back a pound or two.
I tried on a dress or two today while I was out and about. Big mistake. I'm not ready for new clothes just yet.
Good vibes and have a wonderful time, Panni and Bruce! I would also like to see a picture!
You don't know how lucky you are to just have to worry about Shiny shoes, Bruce! If you were a woman, you would have to wear high heels and THEN you would know what pain is.
If we ever meet and you see me in heels, I'm either in pain or will be because I get the most horrible charley horses from them. Just trying them on starts them (at this point I won't mention that I bought 3 pairs of heels today for my upcoming trip to NYC). I'll have to take major pain killers and/or walk the floor most of the night to walk them out. I only wear them on very, very, very special occasions.
Back in the pre carb days, when I was allowed to eat white potatoes, I used to like to take a baking potato and slice it (not all the way) and put slivers of onions in the slices. Then put butter on top with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap them in silver paper and bake. Mmmmm. They were good!
I have to say, without question, Hoss was my very favorite. Even my Mom used to say she could never understand why when Little Joe and Adam were so handsome. But I was never swayed by a handsome face. Hoss was gentle and liked animals and I loved him for it.
Well, I seem to be rambling on but I think I touched on everything I meant to.
