Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Alcoholics often become hooked on sugar after they quit drinking. I skipped the alcoholism part of my family heritage and went straight to sugar addict. [snip] If hungry and offered the choice between a delicious meal and a slab of chocolate cream pie, I'd go for the pie every time.

Me too. In fact, the ADHD kid would (did) mug a kid to take his candy bar. The other had no sugar jones as a kid, but had alcohol-related problems as an adult. I think it's the same chemical brain thing--just luck or randomosity when it manifests and for which substance. Alcohol is just sugar, after all.

Something an AA person once told me, ask an alcoholic "How much did you drink?" Answer: ALL of it. Till it was gone.

Ask me or my kid how much candy/cake/ice cream did you eat? ALL of it. Till it was gone. Till I was sick, and then went back for more. How does that differ from alcoholic behavior? Except in the inebriation affect.

I will actually choose protein over sugar.

Only because I can actually feel what sugar does to me now, and I hate the feeling. I still have the mouth-addiction though.

What I dislike is how often the only organic peanut butter is smooth nut crunchy. I want my pb to be crunchy.

Connie - that map is very interesting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Times has some striking before and after satellite images. But I will warn you, they are very difficult to look at. Minor meltdown from me, although that's probably not a good barometer since I've been having minor meltdowns more or less constantly since.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I still have the mouth-addiction though.

Oh yeah, me, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

TJ's and Laura Scudder brands both have crunchy varieties. I don't know that Laura Scudder is organic, though.
