FOOOD

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Welcome back!

Yup, we are having a lot of food tomorrow.

We will be having turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, gravy, herb bread ) no stuffing as my husband is allergic to sage), several pies, and cake.

We will have our brother come over and visit while this meal is being presented. In other words, we will be having a feast.

I have one word to say about it all - YUMMMMMmmm.

Cyber Monday

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Guess what time it is again?

It is now time for Cyber Monday. This is the time for computer people to go on their computers and order what they want or need for the holidays that are coming. Whether or not the items are for themselves, or for another, the quicker that you order the item, the sooner that you no longer have to worry about the shipping time, or the mailing time.

I am going to take it easy this year. Cookies for everyone who visits ! YUM. Oh, by the way, the word DIET should not appear in your vocabulary right now.

Dietary Supplements

Friday, November 12th, 2010

While snacking as you watch your sports events, you should make sure that you do not get out of balance with the vitamins and nutrients in your diet.

Some amino acids help with one thing or another in the maintenance of you body. There are others like acetyl l carnitine that may help with Alzheimer’s, nerve pain from Diabetes or other diseases.

What ever you do, you diet changes your body according to what you take in. I am a Diabetic, so I have had to learn about that from trial and error. Too much starch or sugar, and my blood sugar goes up. Too little, and my blood sugar goes down. Either extreme can be dangerous.

My mother-in-law is in kidney failure from uncontrolled diabetes. She really has to tow the line when it comes to food now. So, no matter what it is that you do,think about what you want to happen later on in life.

Sell ME something

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

Right now one of the worst sales jobs to have is to try to sell me something.

I have no money in my pocket, some in my bank account, and very little else.

I have no idea how the rest of the country is feeling about things right now. Of course if the person was to be selling books, or tomatoes, or videos…..That would be something else again.

I love to read; I thoroughly enjoy munching on tomatoes, and; my husband loves to watch videos. ‘Nuf said. :P

Tanning bed

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

That is a strange name for something that you re not supposed to sleep on, or in.

To me a bed is something used for sleeping. I don’t even want to think about flower beds, because when I plant something, it just seems to die and not grow.

Anyway…if you are going to use a tanning bed, I guess that you better find the right kind of lotion to use. You do not want to use something that will let you burn, or let your skin be harmed. There is a web site called - www.tanningbedlotion.com - that seems to check out different types of lotions.

Not everyone will try to get a tan, but if you are one of those who do, using something to help keep your skin from getting damaged just seems the smart thing to do.

Six of one…

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

Six of any one thing can be good, or bad.

If it’s donuts, guaranteed it could very well be bad. (For me that is because I do enjoy donuts) If it is six dollars, I could always use some more money. Six more pounds on me is definitely bad. I need something to help me lose weight. Maybe some natural weight loss pills might help. As long as exercise is not mentioned. I have gotten to dearly love tomatoes, and salads, but even they can only go so far.

Dieting - YUK

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Sounds rather blunt doesn’t it?

Well, that exactly tells how I feel about dieting. I know that there are foods that burn fat, but even then the dreaded word - EXERCISE - pops up repeatedly.

They never give you what you need if you are not able to exercise. I love a bunch of the foods that are mentioned to be fat burners. Except maybe seaweed. I have no idea if I would like that, since I have never tasted it. I love egg rolls, use soy sauce, but I know that is not the same as eating soy beans or seaweed. Like I said, there are a lot of items that do burn fat, I just have not listed all of them here.

PS - Does seaweed count as a strange thing? :)

Trimming time

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

It’s time for a quick trim.

My hair has gotten too long for my comfort. What I usually do is pull it up and through an empty tape roll that used to hold some box tape. You know the stuff, it is clear and about 2″ across.

When I hold the hair through the empty roll, I then place the scissors across the roll and snip what hair shows above the cardboard roll. It seems to work rather neatly. I have never had someone look at me, scream, and then run away. I won’t win any beauty contest, but my head is cooler, and the hair does not get into everything anymore. :)

Water Filters

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I used to use a water filter on the faucet in the kitchen sink.

It sure did make the water taste better than it did originally. Our town has extremely hard water and you can taste it in the water itself. Did you know that if you have a refrigerator that will serve water on the tap, it too will need a http://www.waterfilters.net/Refrigerator-Water-Filters.html to filter the water before you drink it?

Never thought about it one way or another until now. When I was having trouble with kidney stones, I used to wonder why the doctor told me to drink bottled water. After I got a test kit to test our water and found out that it was extremely hard, I understood.

Who needs all of that extra minerals going through our kidneys? Not me, that’s for sure. I later found out that the stones that were in my body were from too much uric acid, and not from minerals and calcium. I still do not like the taste of our tap water, though. :)

To Smoke, or Not to Smoke

Monday, June 28th, 2010

That is the question. I do not smoke. Have some friends that do. That’s life.

However, there are some new rules going around in this part of the country that I do not like. Politicians are trying to tell businesses whether or not to allow smoking in those areas. That choice should be left to the individual businesses to determine.

The next thing that I know the politicians will try to make rules against the electronic cigarette that some people are using. They already try to tell us what we can and can not eat. I mean what is with this people. Don’t they have enough to do without trying to mess with our individual lives. If the owner of a place does not want smoking, fine. If they do want smoking, fine. Put a notice on the door that says smoking allowed here. If non smokers do not want the smoke, they do not enter. SIMPLE, right………….not with politicians.

Can you guess that I am not fond of politicians? :)
