some can't giv up "the good old days"

either their adult life sucks, they were powerful in school, and miss it, or
they have allowed time and brain degradation to change the facts in their
own life.

a while back a woman i grew up with said she missed HS, i almost fell off my
stool, i wasn't drunk when she said it, but i certainly ordered an extra to
try and comphrened how being too young, too inexperienced, and too worried
about the future could possibly compensate for the great ride i have had
from that point to this,

she didn't hang out because getting educated and being succesful was more

We just filled our new chest freezer. Lots of boneless, skinless chicken
breasts for daughter. Some frozen veggies I haven't tried and a lot of
gluten free stuff. Really most of what I got is for my daughter. She'll be
needing lunches this summer. She didn't really eat lunch at school because
they made her take lunch at 10 a.m. this past year. She just wasn't hungry
then. So she just brought either a pack of apple slices, a hummus cup and
carrots or one of her coconut bars.

Tomorrow we're doing a wee bit of shopping. Really don't need very much but
do need to fill the van with gas since we've been out somewhere every day
this week. Mostly just cottage cheese, cheddar and the gas at Costco and a
couple of things at Target that I have coupons for. Pizza for dinner
because I have a jar of sauce that is soon to expire. We are rather sick of
pizza though so I doubt we will have much of it during the summer.

For the 4th we are having tons of raw veggies and olives. Also baked beans,
hot dogs and hamburger or turkey patties. No buns. And I usually make
popcorn in a pan to eat while we watch the fireworks. Supposed to be nice
this year. No rain and not cold. Not really warm either. But some years
we had to wear gloves and winter coats because it was that cold! Today it
reached 75 but that felt hot because we've had such cold weather!

My mom has said that she missed school. This is a foreign concept to me.
Perhaps her life was different because she grew up on a farm. Perhaps she
liked school because she was going to it instead of doing chores? I don't
know. She says she likes to learn things and wants to go back to school
now, in her 70's. I always hated school and was glad when I didn't have to
go. I like to learn too. I just don't like school!

High school was really a breeze for me. I knew all sorts of ways of getting
out of it. Mostly we went to the mall or out to lunch. Probably spent just
as much time out of school as in it. Things were easy in those days and the
truant officer was easily bribed. Didn't have much homework either. And I
was still on the honor roll. Those days have changed! I certainly wouldn't
want to be in school now.

Who says I gave up? You did. Not me. You can lead your life your way and
I'll lead mine my way. Sounds to me from things you have said that we don't
have much in common at all.

Exactly! I spent many years helping to take care of my MIL who is much more
disabled than me. She is in a wheelchair and really can do little for
herself beside feeding herself and really she needs observation to do that.
Not getting into the details of that.

When I was there I did all of the cooking and shopping and whatever cleaning
needed to be done on the days I was there. Granted I could not very well
lift her in and out of the wheelchair. She is not light and can offer no
help at all. I did try once but dropped her. That wasn't good!

I am currently living pretty much as a single parent. Husband lives in
another state and comes home pretty much on his own whim. Certainly not to
help out or anything like that. Yes, I hire people to do that which I can
not or do not want to do. But I know I am not alone in that.

Last week I bought a chest freezer, transported it home and put it in place
all by myself. With daughter's injury she could not help me even if she
wanted to.

I do what I need to do. If there are those who think I need to be doing
more, well, I figure that is their problem.

Yeah and I'll probably continue to do that. That's how I am! If I ask for
a suggestion, such as in the creamed corn post then I am asking for
suggestions. But if I haven't asked for a suggestion then I truly don't
want one.

Not to me it isn't.

This is a classic case of "Do as I say, not as I do." Sycophant is not at
all receptive to those who tell her to stop abusing psychoactive drugs and
to stop stealing from her employer, but she's more than willing to tell
others how to behave on Usenet.

Once you hit the "send" key on a Usenet message it no longer "belongs"
to you and you have no control about who responds and with what. If
there are people who annoy you, filter them out so you don't have to
see their posts.

part of that is because you don't share the fun stuff, not getting on you
here but consider;

you ha d said you asked for the freezer for you birthday, then nothing
else... to me, this is quite an on topic post as it is an appliance that
stores food, encourages savings and makes it easier to prepare food because
you can have more variety, and if you get enough of a bargian on the meat
either you save the money, or be like me and sometimes buy a luxury food...

i am not nagging but i sure would have liked to read a seperate post of,
where you shopped, when you bought it, why you bought it, and even the
stresses and strains of getting it into the house,

i hope this makes sense, Lee

julie she isn't trying to tell you what your values are just that some of us

i understand that, and what we don't know is that she isn't doing all she
can, because of some of my health issues, i can tell you there are just
some things that are, and since we don't get a journal of her daily
activities just bits and peices, we really don't know... for example...

exercise, to you that is a thing you do to strengthen a part of your body
because of injury, or to lose calories, or gain muscle mass...

to me, its to keep what flexibility i still posses... and to julie?

she in fact does exercise, she has remarked on several occasions how by
using the shopping cart she can keep her balance and walk an entire store,
that is exercise of the calorie burning/toning type, no not cardio but its
slow enough to not raise bg and yet still burn calories, and using the cart
to assist with balance also means she is using her hands/shoulders...

I don't know thsis for a "fact" i just glaned this all from her past
postts, and i am blessed/cursed with one of those trivi/factoid mins that
remember stuff that people in the past say so i build a picture of who they
are, might not even be accurate but its in my mind,

But it doesn't for me. My Endo. says he doesn't know about my weight. He
just says I am one of those people who can't eat much and will always be
fat. Pretty much everyone on both sides of the family was or is fat. I do
have one aunt who is not.

No way would I say what I put in the freezer because for sure someone here
would start picking on me for what it is that I bought!

no not what you put in it but which one did you buy, i love appliance
stories, sorta weird, but it took me three years to find the frig i wanted,

Eating leftovers here after the block party.

I used in the end 12 x 2 machines for 24 batches of dough. Some were
hotdog shaped, some burger shaped. Most all white, some mixed wheat or
whole wheat 100%, some with part rye.

It's a big event here and everyone adds what they can. LOL, Serina
with her six kids (husband died in the gulf recently) made the optiomy
of 'white trash cooking' that was so good, we ate it all up before most
even got here!

Noodle pie (boiled noodles- drained, spices, butter, evaporated milk,
something vague added that she grins but wont tell us).

2 restraunt sized cans of creamed corn. She added onions (carmelized)
and velveeta plus lots of black pepper and some sort of hot sauce or
maybe it was blendered jalapenos in juice? Heated to a melty perfect
in a crockpot, we ran out of chips going after this one until more
chips arrived from newcomers who missed out.

John brought in 125 live bluecrabs which we steamed on my stove 10 at a
time and tossed in a big pot. (man, I am crabbed out now!)

Don smoked the large pork hunk and we ended up slivering cooked bits
off to buns as the rest finished through the afternoon.

Susan brought an orgasmically good coleslaw and 2 versions of potato
salad.

John2 who doesnt cook brought paperplates, forks and such. Shaun
brought napkins and 5 watermelons.

The list goes on. Most folks brought a pack of hot dogs or some other
grillable meat plus a side dish to show off.

I had all 19 dual outlets in use at once on my back porch. Hehe
actually had Don shut all not essential things inside just incase.
That included the computer used for email/newsgroups.

Don't worry Julie. Sheldon hates freezers. He's got the mentality that
they are bad. Most others here though have them or want one or
understand the usage of them.

And that he hates freezers (grin). I suspect he freezes plenty of
things and makes much smaller batches than he claims.
