OT: They Just Took Off 18 1/2'
Comments (27)You're lucky (again), red hair doesn't gray like other colors. My hair was red when I was little & I hated it because I got teased. Actually it was more brownish than red & there was less & less red every year. The ends always turned a sort of strawberry blonde in the sun (or did before I started coloring it, I am now L'Oreal 5RB, medium reddish brown). I am going to color it slightly lighter or just let it go gray (very gray) after my 35th class reunion this summer. DH says color, he likes people thinking he is married to a younger woman.

Comments (6)Hi Andrew, I fertilize my fruit trees with 2-10-10. The first number Nitrogen (N) gives you growth, the second number Phosphorous (P) encourages blooms, and the third number potassium (K) promotes root growth. I don't want my trees getting big so I keep them potted and feed them a low nitrogen fertilizer. I also use Ironite to provide the missing micro nutrients such as Zinc and others. Not only do I put the Ironite granules in the ground I also mix a batch and spray the entire tree with it. You can find both items at Lowes.

Comments (4)Thanks for the replies, appreciate the help! It does not start with battery in place and plugged into a working electrical outlet. The new a/c adaptor is the correct one for that model and is in working order. I don't have a different battery to try in it. When I took the battery out and plugged it into the new a/c adaptor, the power button blinked once but did not turn on. The battery was working fine, charging properly and staying charged as normal prior to the intermittent beeping when the a/c adaptor was plugged in. I think it may be something to do with the jack since my husband says there is nothing wrong with the old power supply....See MoreSharp Micro Drawer, Dead @ 18 months.....
Comments (7)While that is sad, that your microwave only lasted that long, reading the reviews on consumer Reports is not the best source of info, regarding the Sharp Microwave Drawer reliability. You can pick just about any appliance by any manufacturer and read the posts there and you would end up never buying ANY Appliance!!!! Folks with problems and an "AXE to grind" go to that web-site!!!! Goggle Sharp Microwave Drawer Reviews, to get a better idea of the reliablilty of that appliance. You will usually find reviews on AJMAdison, Best Buy, etc etc. Then if the reviews are inline with what you found on the Consumer web-site~~~~~Then You may want to come up with a "Plan B" Myself I have an Electrolux Speed oven, that one poster here claims is made by Sharp. It's still going strong after 8 years and never a service call, except for a loose handle. And yes we use it a lot as a microwave in addition to using it as a speed oven. I saw a post about a bad wave guide, (seems like was a Sharp) maybe you had the misfortune to get one of those too????? Gary...See More

Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement. Wishing success to all of you who are also on a journey to better health or weight loss and congratulations to you as well for the accomplishments you made.
Jupidupi, chaffles are basically cheese waffles. There are many variations if you Google Chaffles. I take one beaten egg and add shredded cheese mozzarella on its own or sometimes I add some cheddar. I use maybe a 1/4 cup or a little more of cheese and mix with the beaten egg so it makes a thick batter. This amount of mixture makes 2 chaffles on a mini Dash waffle maker. Take 1/2 the batter and spread on the grill, close the lid and cook between 4-5 minutes or until the steam stops. You can add spices to the mixture if you like. Some people add a tbsp of almond flour but I don't. Great substitution for burger or sandwich bread.
The low carb diet I follow is Dr Westman's Keto Made Simple Prescription Keto from Adapt Your Life. Dr. Westman is an Internist and a Obesity specialist at Duke University where he has a clinic. I took one of his online courses where you have access to him and his Nutritionists if you have questions. He gives you a Phase 1 Food List with all the foods you can eat and the ones you cannot eat. He has many You Tube videos as does his Nutritionist Amy Berger. He calls his diet "prescription" because it isn't like an over the counter Keto diet like you get from influencers on the Internet, his diet works if you follow the list, eat up to 20 g of whole carbs, not net carbs like most Internet Keto diets share. He also has a book End Your Carb Confusion you can get on Amazon and it has the food lists for 3 stages and well worth the read. If I had Type 2 diabetes and wanted to get off medication this is the diet I would follow with your Dr monitoring blood sugar so he can take you off the meds. This diet isn't just for losing weight and can help with so many health issues and even reverse some of them. It even lowers blood pressure so that you also might be able to stop taking medication under your Doctors supervision. And best of all there are no "food police" If you happen to have something higher in carbs or just a bad day once in a while he says don't berate yourself, just go back to eating low carb your next meal. I had birthday cake on my birthday and it was okay I just ate low carb my next meal. To me it isn't a diet any longer it is just the way I eat. haha I did go on the Beef Bacon and Egg Elimination diet for 2 weeks and it was horrible. I missed my salads, especially radishes and eating beef to me was so hard to do. I could eat the ground beef with an egg on top but eating steak was so hard for me to do. By doing that diet I sure did find out for sure what vegetables caused me pain as I added them back and now I know for sure I don't want to eat them. You can have fatty foods on this diet but you don't need to add extra fat like extra butter or whipped cream and butter in your coffee or fat bombs that internet Keto influencers tend to push. I prefer leaner meats like chicken and fish and I will make bacon every couple of weeks. I don't have it daily.I can honestly say losing this weight was so easy. Put the scale away and only weigh yourself now and then because it can mess with your head. I was on a stall for a long time weight wise but I was still losing fat off my body but the pounds on the scale stayed the same. Measure your loss by how you feel and how your body is changing. I went from wearing 3-4X clothes to now wearing Large or XL in some items. That was really shocking to me. haha I lost a big butt and my older brother says I am half the person I was. Sorry for the long post. I am just passionate about this and want to help everyone who suffers with losing weight.
