I'm shocked and dismayed Wolf did not share this ...

Looks wonderful! I love making pots of hearty food. It's often better the next day and I love having it in the fridge for lunches or dinner for days. Soup always strikes me as being very healthy too. Our old landlord told us about Portuguese soup. He said they'd throw whatever foods they had into a pot and it would just keep cooking and they'd just keep adding meats and vegetables as they had it. Whatever, I've never had a recipe for soup, just general ingredients and whatever else I had on hand.

That's me, too. Whatever is in the fridge/ pantry/freezer goes in the soup. I throw lefttover anything "soupable" in a freezer bag & stick it in the freezer, & just keep adding to what's in the bag until I have enough that with a few additions I have enough for a pot of soup. It always tastes a little different, but always tastes good!

Matt ... Nice ... a must save to my pic file .. I've always been a sucker for a Woman in Uniform

... were you serious about WW .. ?? I have a good friend that serves on the Board in St Louis and I've helped them out with a few events over the years ... they do try and stay with Iraq / Afghan vets that were boots on the ground and disabled mentally or physically, but if you like, I can give him a call ..

Happily vaping my vodka and water diluted juice - ahhhh. Lots of vapor, if not flavor. And my stomach will be able to stand a bit of dinner. Thanks to the Back Porch

Yay!

Today was my birthday and I spent it doing absolutely nothing. Sheer bliss. All three of my children called to offer birthday greetings. Yesterday, the three grandkids brought me a frosted pumpkin spice cupcake with a candle on it and sang happy birthday. (Not on my diet, but everybody needs a song on their birthday.) I took a bite and let them finish it. They were happy, so was I. I did drive to Publix to pick up some prepared food for dinner (not cooking). With this birthday I'm sorta feelin' like I did when I walked over the bridge in Brownies and became a full-fledged Girl Scout. It's as if I have crossed some imaginary line into old age...the beginning of it, anyways. BTW, that's not a bad thing. I'm honored to have reached senior status.

When I was nineteen, my eighty year old psychiatrist heard the story of my life. I asked him, "So what do you think? Am I salvageable?" He said, "Statistically speaking, you should be dead."

So here I am, defying statistics.

Happy birthday!!!! [emoji512] [emoji512] [emoji512] <<< Diet cake! I refuse to accept Senior staus except any restaurant you can name.

I figured I'd leave it up to you ...

 

[seapeach]

In my dreams.

 

[Kenna]

You guys keep posting. Ladies, I've got your backs.

Susan, I'd just as soon you post a pic of your special painting ... .. probably trigger a mod intervention, though

My birthday is over, so I'm going off to dream now.

That was nearly twenty years ago....a WHOLE lot has changed since then. Anybody that wants can see it in the HO. It's on my office/dining room wall.

 

[seapeach]

Heck...a whole lot has changed in five years. Come to think of it...a lot has changed this year. All that long blonde hair got cut off in April, VERY short, exposing the gray underneath. I have no shame. I earned this gray.

What I would do is take 2 shots of vodka drink it chase it with distilled water and vape what you have.

That's what Keith recommends as well ..

 

[Rotowoman]

Roto, have been thinking of you a lot lately, and just to let you know, I'm rootin for ya for the best outcome possible.

Thank you SO much, Gracie! It means a lot. I'll be all right. You can't kill bad grass.

On rude inconsiderate smokers.
However most of the smokers just throw their butts down instead of taking 6 steps to put them in a hopper.
Too many just plain trashy folks out there who will screw up anything for everyone else.

You know what's weird about that? At the heliport where I work, there are quite a few smokers. You will never see a cigarette .... on the ground. We have receptacles in strategic places and they are well used. The company won't tolerate all those butts on the ground.

Ever had a still lit .... hit your windshield .. ?? Or watched in horror as a bag of McDonalds trash gets tossed out of the car in front of you and scatters it's contents across the roadway .. ?? ...

Never had that happen, but have had the trash thing happen. Even when I was driving commercially,I always had a bag in the van just for trash. It irked me to no end to see people throwing trash out of their vehicles.

Praying and hoping for the best. Janet is right, often nodules mean nothing. Right now likely the best attitude to have, just hate that you're feeling depressed. Seems like you have been for quite awhile. But you've also been under a ton of stress, and that'll do it. Hugssssssssssss

Truth be told, I'm not really concerned about the nodule. I'll have that looked at. I hate the early dark that winter brings,and that may be some of my problem.

I've been outside since 8 AM doing Fall Yard cleanup, taking a periodic break here and there .. Mr Arthritis will be screaming at me tonight and tomorrow as well ..

I spent most of my day today outside. About 4 weeks ago, I thought it would be my last day to cut grass. Well, with all the rain we've had in the last month, Mother Nature decided otherwise. This morning at 10 I was out there and the doggone lawnmower wouldn't start for anything under the sun. I put it away and said, "To hell with it." But....but, it kept nagging at me.

I went out and tried to remove the spark plug, but didn't have the proper tools. I got dressed again, and was getting ready to head to town to buy tools until I called my BIL. Bless his crazy heart........he came right over.........took the plug out and the air filter and got me going. I got the yard cut in no time, but the weed eater and I then had the dance from hell. I eventually got it all done......since we're supposed to have this fat storm system coming through late tomorrow.

I'm bone whipped now. My body is screaming for the bed, and I'm quite ready to oblige. Good night all!!

Happy Birthday, Susan. I am glad to hear you had a relaxing day.
