Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

I am doing my best to make the Lean Cuisine work. I need to reduce the amount my stomach thinks of as full. water and coffee are only somewhat doing the trick. 2 biters of a TJ candy bar are much more satisfying.

Add an apple, msbelle? With some peanut butter?

well sure, if I was home. I only brought in a week's worth of frozen meals today, none of the supplementals that I need to make that work for lunch. Yesterday I had crudite which lasted forever and was great. I need to cut up some more veggies tonight.

msbelle, you might look for those little freezer pack veggies that Green Giant makes - broccoli or cauliflower, etc, often with a garlic or cheese sauce. They're very low cal and could be stirred into a lot of LCs to make them more filling.

Oh, right. Sorry.

no worries y'all, I clearly am getting plenty to eat (says the 15 lbs I've gained since May). tomorrow I will prepare better.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So far, my favorite picture in that group from the article is of Mayor Jerry Springer.

I think it's nice that he and his hair could get time away from fronting REO Speedwagon.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I remember getting about one snow day a year back in Alpena, MI. I don't recall any days off for cold. But then, it's in northern lower Michigan, so just about everyone had warm outerwear, even if it took a coat drive or other charity to make it happen. With snow starting in November and often lasting until the end of March, winter wear really was a life or death need.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sorry about the kitties, Fred.

We have one here called Kidspark. It's not super close, but it is an option, which is awesome.
