K, I'm feeling an itty bitty bit better. Food is my enemy right now. Without going into a lot of detail, anything I eat kills my tummy right now. I'm off to try and catch up with everything I've missed the past two days. I think it's a hopeless case with catching up for the last two to three months that I've been completely self absorbed Sorry Y'all!

Mern-u got a Monday full of green! goodness gracious! I'm envious. and haha at shaving your legs....one of the perks of not being in a relationship is not having to shave when the weather starts getting colder guess I'll just have to have cold legs when WHN gets back. It's a fair trade

Cassie-Jas is so self involved to notice when I'm feeling bad. She's a lot like her momma that way And good for you for avoiding the French Fry Trap.....I have that issue alot when I eat out with work friends

Hope-the PCOS is an ongoing issue. I have a dr's appt on the 17th. New doc, so hopefully she'll give me a little more guidance. So sorry to hear your fibro is acting like a b**ch...gentle hugs to you

Quinn-we all need a clean slate from time to time. one of the only reasons I'm glad WHN isn't here is because he likes all the really good, really bad for me foods. and he likes to go out to eat. it's going to be a struggle when he gets home.

April-you have a grape problem, I have a "eat everything in sight" problem. it's getting out of hand. And I totally remember the "nekkid on the porch" story. you told it right around the time I started on the thread.

Nobe-so so sorry to hear about your SKsFH.....it's got to be so frustrating. Not being a parent, it's hard for me to offer advice. but while on your FD World Tour, stop by WHN's house, Ive got an extra room now that Sis and the kid are gone

Mike-you rocked monday! good job!!!

Tracey-huge cyber hugs to you!

Nobe, I have a black thumb--everything I plant dies. DH does the gardening and I do the cooking and canning. DH knows how to grow some things well and others are hit and miss. Our green bell peppers are usually small, but they taste great. Something (an animal, not insects) ate the squash blossoms, so we won't have any squash. We had turtles eating our lower tomatoes one year. And we had squirrels sitting on the chain link fence stripping away the corn one year. They just laughed at the aluminum pie pans DH hung on poles to scare them away with clanking. Oh, what a pity about that February your weather in June. That's really wonderful that kiddo is excited about your veggies. Great example for him, too. Does he eat a good assortment of veggies?

Tori, I hope you feel better soon! Good luck catching up. I tried and can't. But we all know you care. Big hug to ya.

Tori sent me something on this, I don't have the actual link. Maybe she can post it. From reading online and can be a number of things, in my case I think is back related. Others think it can be a sign on lupus or MS and others speculated on neuropathy (sp?0

Quinniepoo, what's up with your AC?

Mern, how's your day going? Are you making the right choices?

Nobe...I never thought of that plan of attack! Definitely divide & conquer! Glad to see that you had a success. We have our largest garden ever this summer too. 7 kinds of squash (1 plant of each), 2 zucchini plants, 4 cuke plants (mostly dead from the heat), 3 cantaloupe, 2 sugar baby watermelons, 12 tomato plants, and 4 plants each of 5 different colored bell peppers. I have about 6-7 little yellow squashes on 3 different plants right now and a few acorn squash starting too. I love it!!!

Tori...Sorry to hear about the tummy troubles.

Mern...I'm thinking I better shave tonight or will have to sleep with a sheet between me & the hubby! LOL

Quick version of the nekkid story...Oldest son spent night at aunt's house in same town as then gf. Aunt woke early and went away. Son & gf hatched a plan where she walked down to aunt's house/gram's house (next door). Aunt came back sooner than son thought and discovered he was not there. She started looking and discovered them on the back porch next door at grams (my MI& FIL's). He was shirtless and she was nekkid and sitting on his lap facing him. Aunt called us and told us they were doing it (they weren't) and she drove gf home and woke her stepdad to tell him that they were doing it. Her family hated my son for a while but they have since gotten over it. Was so hard not to let him see that we were kind of laughing over the whole situation because he had to know that it was serious and he snuck out was the worst thing to us. That and he didn't have protection if it had gone further. Needless to say that day we made his first trip to walmart for supplies and we had a demonstration of usage.

April, wow. In white. All I can say is that if Pimp Daddy has a nekkid chick on his lap, you should know there's not a conversation going on, no matter which direction she's facing.

Thanks Tori.

I am ROFL at the nekkid story and I think the funniest part was that the discussion about supplies and demonstration followed a very detailed discussion about garden vegetables!

Anybody else's mind go to the cucumber and zucchini?

Okay, just me then .
