Anything You Wanna Talk About 3 (prolly mostly OT)
Comments (149)I hope EVERYONE had a very nice Thanksgiving. I wanted to get here yesterday, but was soo busy with the cooking .... and then our company forgot they had homes and staid until near 11:00, so I crashed as soon as they left. We had a rally good meal & a good time. I'm not used to all that noise though. I guess it's a sign of getting older. ;-) Technico - the physical characteristics of the products you asked about that make them suitable/unsuitable as a substitute for Turface are their size and structural stability. They need to be primarily in that 3/32-3/16 size range (preferably closer to 1/8"), and they need to retain their structure after you freeze them in water. You don't want something too large/small, or something that turns to mud after you incorporate it into a soil. JJ - You should name your turtle Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray, Tommy Hearns ...... after one of the famous boxers. ;-) Take care everyone. I hope that if you're out shopping, you're taking advantage of some great deals, and if you're not, you're having a relaxing day. I think I'm still full, and I didn't even have breakfast. Only in America would they legislate a day when gluttony becomes a patriotic duty. ;-) Al...See MoreOT: Painful decision
Comments (17)Edna, I am so sorry. This is such a sad thing to read this morning. You and Eirn have had many wonderful years together and I know that because of your love for him, you will want to do what is most loving for him because you love him and don't want him to be in any pain. Only you and Eirn will know when the time is right, and I am CERTAIN Eirn will tell you. My Britanny had renal failure. I ran the course with the saline injections until one day she told me she'd had enough and it was her time. I called the vet's office so they knew we were on the way. I called up my husband and together we went to the vet's. I sat in the car and he took Brit in, as I just couldn't do it. So, Penny, I know what you mean. I cried for a LONG time, as well. I knew her end was near and so I'd gotten Tifanny six weeks prior... Another dog will never replace Eirn but can help to heal some of the hurt. His memory will live forever in your heart and soul. Those wonderful times will always be there for you to remember. Cry if you need to. I am crying for you now but know that your love will shine through. XOXOXO, Sherry...See MoreOT- not good timing!
Comments (26)Yes Brenda, let us know what happens. My bro is left handed and it was his left hand that was injured. If was very hard for him to keep the bandages clean. You use your hand for everything. After the surgery he had therapy on his hand. Good thing it's cold out because there will be no gardening for you for a bit. Good Luck!

Comments (28)Wow thank you for all the great advice and links! As far as liquids go I'm the only one with that problem. Will definitely try the water in the fridge idea. I'll have to label the bottle as mine. ;) The men have water with every meal and they drink a ton of filtered water from home at work. We freeze large jugs of filtered water and that goes into the electric fridge in the work truck. I allow only whole grains to go into my guys. They eat very healthily since I took the reins and snacks are healthy too. Heavy lifting and long days and hours makes them very hungry though. Home made chicken and or fish bone broth are eaten in every sauce but not every day. Maybe every 3 days... I don't put sauce on everything. I've tried to add heavier foods and more nutrients to every bite but they are lean and hungry still. Except DH. He is in transition from the heavy lifting to a more supervisory roll so has requested a less calorie dense diet. That's a work in progress. I wish my family were more like yours GL. But I think their systems are more hyperactive than some too. Only DH loves cold salads. DS and Nephews not so much. I'm trying but usually have to force myself to eat them. I find if I mix them in with my hot food on my plate and add more spices or sauce I enjoy them. Will roast veggies to have on hand for snacks. Love that idea. I personally love cauliflower rice stuffed peppers. Yum! Question does roasting decrease the nutritional value of the veggies much? I have found that using cauliflower/broccoli as the base in every sauce is working well, is not noticeable and has cut back a bit on the hunger problem. I keep threatening to add sardines to the sauce too. To sneak in more protein for myself I will give it a try. :) Thank you so much again. I will take the advice to heart and try to shift my thinking....See More
