Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
May The Lord touch your body and heal you quickly.
I think that's the way of it. If I am wrong hopefully AC admins will correct.
I agree with you cwillie. I think when a thread descends into personal argument, instead of giving honest advice, it harms AC overall.
How are you feeling today?
‘Live and let live’ isn’t a common theme, especially on the internet, television or any public platform.
Many people will endlessly debate a topic until they feel their point is understood, or until it becomes utterly ridiculous. It’s possible that this is done subconsciously or deliberately.
I am finding that the older I become, I truly don’t care what others think or feel and I don’t expect them to care about what I think or feel. I also find that my sense of humor is becoming a bit warped at times! LOL 😆
I read a cartoon recently that made me giggle.
A husband is sitting at his computer and the wife asks, “Are you coming to bed?”
The husband says, “I can’t. This is important.”
The wife says, “What’s so important?”
Husband says, “Someone is wrong on the internet.”
My youngest daughter was living in Colorado for awhile. She moved shortly after she graduated college.
Anyway, she was in a relationship in Denver but they had opposite schedules. She worked days. He worked nights. They rarely saw each other. She decided to come back to Louisiana and work remotely for awhile.
She fell in love with Colorado and knew that she would return to Denver one day. She occasionally visits her friends in Denver.
Awhile ago she attended a birthday party for a friend in Denver and met a new guy. She seems to be happy with him.
He has visited her several times and she has visited him as well. I don’t know how these long distance relationships fare out in the long run.
I worked with a few women who refused to leave when their husbands were transferred to a different state. One woman said that if she had to live with her husband full time she would be divorced! LOL 😂
We have not met this new guy. We are going to meet him on Labor Day weekend. They are going to stop by our house before taking a trip to the gulf coast.
It’s funny, he has been to Miami before but not the panhandle section of Florida. My daughter says that he is calling it ‘northern’ Florida. 😝 hahaha, instead of the panhandle.
As long as she is happy, I am happy. I wonder if either of my daughters are going to marry one day. They aren’t in a rush and I think that’s good. It’s their life and if they never marry it’s fine with me. I actually love their independent spirit.
As much as I would adore having a grandchild I don’t say anything about it to them. I have friends that have pressured their kids to marry and have kids. I don’t think that’s fair to their children.
Okay, that makes sense. We grew up calling Pensacola Beach, Navarre, Ft. Walton, Destin and Panama City beach area the ‘panhandle’ but I do see what you’re saying.
I went to Florida every summer as a child because my dad grew up near Panama City beach.
We took our girls there in the summer. It’s not too far of a drive for us, four to five hours depending on traffic.
My daughter’s new boyfriend grew up in New England. When his parents divorced, he moved with his mom to Colorado.
Apparently, others refer to the panhandle area as ‘northern’ Florida.
Geaton, I think one of the reasons the Healthcare ministry here in B.C. gave pharmacist's more responsibility as far as non serious prescriptions is because the healthcare system here is overworked. Very few new doctors are becoming GP's and a lot of them are working in privately run clinics (more money, I'm guessing) so GP's here are run off their feet. But I agree, it's dicey. Case in point, me. If I'd gone to my doc. I suspect he would have prescribed something for a minor urinary tract infection but possibly not. He may have caught the other symptoms. In my pharmacist's defense when I gave my symptoms to her and I mentioned lower back pain she was very hesitant to give me the prescription but I wanted it and the pain wasn't that bad then so she went ahead and gave it to me.
BTW, hope you feel better Gershun, are you still hobbling or is that finally mostly resolved?
Glad you’re okay. Yeah, definitely not a fun way to drop a few pounds. Those meds really do tear up our digestive system.
I know. Everything in the grocery has gone up tremendously!
It used to be a lot cheaper to prepare food at home. Nowadays, I am starting to wonder if soon we can eat out for nearly the same price.
Especially, since we can’t always eat everything that we buy at the store. It ends up going bad in our case, it’s only my husband and I at home.
I bought Naan bread to eat with hummus. I don’t finish eating it before the expiration date.
I freeze what I cook but other things can’t be frozen.
Naan keeps indefinitely in the fridge, you should always warm it before eating anyway.
Late last night.
Under $12.00 for two people.
They close at 11:00 p.m.
We freeze bread, and Naan too.
Tortillas - no.
I do freeze bread. I wasn’t sure that I could freeze Naan. Thanks for the info.
$12 is very inexpensive for eating out!
Am I supposed to refrigerate Naan? I do warm it before eating it.
I have been leaving it out on my counter. It had funky mold on it when I thought about eating it again.
It’s fine when I buy it when my daughters are visiting. Otherwise, it ends up going bad.
When I was at the ER everyone stares. Probably thinking "that poor pathetic woman" LOL
Ah well.
From now on I will place my Naan in the fridge or freezer.
I just googled how to store and both of you are correct. The article says that Naan has a short shelf life, and will get moldy. So, to extend the life of Naan, place it in fridge or freezer.
I hate having to throw food away when I spend so much money on groceries.
Today is all I want, fresh
Delicious bread gone
So I freeze some bread.
Guilty of this crime, alas
Frozen bread or none.
Mine are always going bad. Pulling some out of the refrigerator in August and they expired in April! And we ate so many burritos! Yikes.
NHWM,
I just googled it too!
"If you've opened your tortilla package, they'll last for a few days until the air gets to them. You can make them last slightly longer if you wrap them in aluminum foil."
I will be wrapping my tortillas in foil from now on!
Good to know about the tortillas. Which ones are you referring to, the corn or the flour? I buy both.
I can hold off on going to the store for more bread but the minute that I am running low on coffee, I will be on my way to the store or coffee shop! LOL 😝
Love that instacart can deliver certain stores later now.
