The World Today (12-26)
Comments (12)That was just too funny! I actually did LOL! Thundershower = thunder and precipitation Thunderstorm = no precipitation. I'm an aviation weather briefer in my real life so I tend to get a wee bit verbose at times. You didn't notice that did you? Conversation versus gallery, that thought had crossed my mind as well. If we just sort of gravitate over here to talk, what's the harm? Lloyd...See MoreWhat an amazing world we live in
Comments (6)There certainly are some interesting insects in that slideshow. I somehow got sidetracked and started looking up tropical plants and butterflies after I watched it. I've gotten very little housework done this morning. lol I think it was the beautiful photo of the Emperor Butterfly that started my surfing. The red and black hummingbird moth didn't look familiar but it says USA....See MoreToday Is World Nutella Day
Comments (21)I agree, CC, at some point we need to take responsibility for ourselves, what we purchase and what we eat and stop expecting the government to "take care of us". Geez. Read the label, it clearly states the ingredients, the calorie content, the fat grams. It's not like it's a big secret, it's right there, printed on every jar. It's provided free, every single time, in easily accessible form. That's why Nutella is a dessert here, spread on graham crackers, or an occasional treat for The Princess on waffles or toast, because I can read. That's why I know that although it's got half of the calories from fat, I know that only 3.5 of those fat grams are saturated and none are transfats, it's the healthier fat from the hazelnuts. If you check a label of Peanut butter (in this instance I'll use Skippy Creamy because that's what's in my desk drawer), you'll find that peanut butter has 190 calories in 2 tablespoons and 140 of those are fat, more than Nutella. 3 grams are saturated in Skippy peanut butter, 3.5 grams are saturated in the Nutella. Nutritionists differentiate between good fats and bad fats. Peanut butter does have more than twice the protein of Nutella, so it's a more economical protein source. What makes it dessert in my family is the sugar content, not the fat grams, but if you add jelly to a peanut butter sandwich that's pretty much negated too. Anyway, read the labels and take responsibility for yourself, and then you won't have the opportunity to make a lot of money and clog up the court systems. Oh, and send me ALL of your Nutella, I know how bad it is for me. It's that "reading" thing again. I won't sue you, I promise. Annie...See MoreWorld Fell Apart Today..
Comments (64)Thanks for telling us about your DD. Our DIL taught 8th Grade Math in a tough Chicago neighborhood for years until a transfer to a 'less-tough' one two years ago. I think your girl must be a strong person -- one who can meet this challenge and come out of it even stronger -- with your support. I don't remember where I heard this -- probably right here at the KT: A mother is only as happy as her least happy child. But that doesn't mean that Mom can fall apart! I'm glad to see from your posts that the immediate shock is passing, and you are girding for the battle ahead. Your DD is going to be *fine*. This bad news is life *threatening*, not a death sentence. The battle will be won. Look to the light. (And come here to unload fear and uncertainty.)...See Morechisue
