    I'm so sorry for the bad news, Tracy. Prayers for all of you. The stevia I tried was Stevia in the Raw. I'm not real concerned about the health warnings over aspertame, nor do I avoid diacetyl in my juices. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't partake in the green...I gotta live dangerously...

    Wharf, my prayers are with you! No matter how many times you hear us tell you you'll do fine, I know it's a huge, big, scary deal to you, Mrs Wharf and Kia...but you WILL do fine :wub: I'll have to check Dollar Tree for the Torani syrup, never heard of it but sounds worth a try. All you health...

    Duke Energy's tree trimming crew did me a solid today! They have been doing the annual spring line clearing in our hood for a couple of weeks. I talked to one of the gents about what to with the limbs that tickle my lines coming from the pole to my house, and he told me to call Duke and request...

    Dee, slow and steady changes work best for me. If I plunge head deep into too many changes at a time, I fall off the wagon. I know you already know this...just a reminder! Fence estimate came in higher than I had hoped, but still going to have it done. Bella still won't be outside alone very...

    Thank you, ladies! The ordeal for him continues, poor guy! They are giving him a hard time because his new mailing address doesn't match the address he had when he signed up with Cricket. Granted, he should have changed his account info, but he just moved into the house a couple of weeks ago...

    Thanks, Salem. His phone turned out to have shorts in the battery and the usb port, so it's turned into a multi day ordeal for him. I will say that Cricket Wireless's customer service is not stellar. Fortunately he has the insurance plan for his phone, but it has a $40 deductible. We ended up...

    Well aren't we a graceful bunch !! I am sore, but otherwise ok :) Hoping to here from my fence guy today, I'm curious how much this is going to cost. When he was about to leave Friday I asked if we were at least talking under a grand and he said 'oh gosh...way under!!' Gonna take my disabled...

    I was disappointed to discover when I moved here that there are none of the bulk stores close enough to be worth a membership. No Sam's, Costco, BJ's...we don't even have a Home Depot! And Sumter is not a small town. I'd have to drive to Columbia, and that's too traffic-y for me :blush: Night...

    Hopefully by this time next week, Bella will have a fenced back yard to romp in! Had a fence guy come out yesterday late afternoon to measure. He and his wife were super nice, and he said he's pretty sure he has enough left overs from other jobs to cobble together the 70' total that I need. Said...

    Praying for clean carotids, Dee! Wharf, anxiously awaiting your results with prayer as well! And yes, no cure for psoriasis. There are some biologics meds like Humara, but I'm not ready to jump on that ship yet. There were several factors that qualified me for my SSI Disability, but the...

    I was the one who was afraid my opinion on keto would raise some hackles since I knew Dee and Tracy both have had great success with it. We all know and love each other here, so obviously no offense intended or taken :wub: Miss Bela is doing well, learning limits...most often the hard way like...

    The key points here are if you are feeling better, and your blood work is good, I'm glad it's working for you. No argument there....none :) I am acquainted with ketoacidosis, I was there when I was dx'd T2D. Salem, I'm glad you have the tooth pulling behind you, and even happier that you aren't...

    My pleasure, Mark. It was my research when I was DX'd T2D that lead me to the studies and tech data on ceylon cinnamon, and the differences between it and common cinnamon. Fran, I used to be so skinny that I couldn't keep weight on!! Then I put down the booze, and on came the weight in my...

    Way more good news than bad, Dee! Bummer about the bacon, but if you are still using coconut oil, please read some of the most recent info. Seems it is not as healthy as first thought, and can eff up your cholesterol. I haven't jumped on the Keto bandwagon, either. At the risk of offending a...
