Q: Why does a chicken coop have only two doors?
A: Because if it had four it'd be a chicken sedan.


Stuff you didn't know you didn't know!
Keds claims that their canvas shoes are the first to earn the nickname "sneakers". In 1917, an advertising agent noted that their flexible rubber soles let you sneak up on people while someone wearing standards could not]

The word was already in use at least as early as 1887, as the Boston Journal made reference to "sneakers" as "the name boys give to tennis shoes."

What am I?
I can run around all day. Under the bed at night I sit, but not alone. My tongue hangs out, waiting to be filled in the morning. What am I?

Hey Joyce and Jamie...

I hope you both are feeling well and having a good day/night. Cloudy here with little bits of sun peaking though. Going to be cooler for a few days. I don't mind...

I hope everybody is having a good day. I am going for a walk.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Karen,
Going to be cooler here tomorrow, too. Now in the mid 80;s

Tooth extraction is STILL a problem. Call it 'discomfort' rather than pain....but it is interrupting my day. Will be calling the Doctor Monday/

Hope you enjoyed your walk

Pretty day here, got out and watered the plants in the patio.

Often I can manage my depression with an ice cold Dr Pepper, but that certainly doesn't help my blood sugar levels ("pre-diabetic"), my diet, or my bulging stomach!

My father turns 90 today, he's healthier than I am, still roams the country in his RV every summer, pulling a trailer with his motorcycles in it.

Joyce, I am sorry that you are still having "discomfort" from the tooth extraction. It is pain to me... I always had trouble with my teeth. Got a denture in my 30's. Glad I did. But if I could of made them last, I surely would of. I don't miss the pain (discomfort) though. Ha...

I hope your weather cools off for you. I think it is going to be in the 60's all weekend. But good weather to do things outside. Though I still feel a bit of humidity.

Lynnwood, I had a friend that always drank Dr. Pepper. Though she was as skinny as a rail. . I am far from that. I am pre-diabetic too. I have to work on my diet. I am trying to eat less now. I love fruit and I am always picking at it. I have no self control and I have to work on that.

Pretty cool about your dad and the RV. Motorcycles too! Awesome for 90. Happy Birthday!!!

I hope you all have a good day!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Today was a good day. A big improvement from yesterday. Things were on an upswing at work today and it's Friday!! WooHoo!

Hi Turtle, I hope you're feeling better.

Joyce, good Smiler today, took me awhile to get the groaner. Sorry to hear your tooth extraction is still bothering you so much. It took three weeks for my lower wisdom tooth extraction to stop bothering me. The funny thing is, the achiness and discomfort went to the upper part of my teeth during the third week before it stopped hurting all together.

Hi Lynnwood and Karen, glad the weather is nice enough to do outdoor activities.

It'll be sunny and hot this weekend. Good weather for a picnic in the park.

sadly I am not. got things on my mind. still itching some. but thanks. I have been bettering myself and increasing my confidence in areas, and I am big on reciprocation, and when it is just left my confidence decreases, as does my trust and belief. I may not be around for a bit, I know I am a complex beast, and have had the odd whinge and tantrum, however I care very much. this is a process for me as I need reciprocation when contacting the powers that be. I have tried, suggested and applied for things with never a reply. this hurts me deeply as a member, a contributing member and as a human. hope you all understand.

Turtle,

If you are talking about not getting responses from the owner of HW, I can only tell you that you are not alone. Almost nothing gets a response these days. I believe Peter is overworked, ill, and has a large family. Of course, that is not an excuse not to live up to his commitments, but please don't take it personally.

Hang in there, we care and will certainly miss you if you take a break.
Posted 9/24/2016 1:31 PM (GMT 0)
Jamie, I too feel your disappointment. Hope there is a way to sooth the pain
Tell us what we can do.

My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.

Stuff you didn't know you didn't know!
Upper and lower case letters are named 'upper' and 'lower' because of the time when all original print had to be hand set with individual letters.

The 'upper case' letters were stored in a case on top of the case that stored the smaller, 'lower case' letters.

Hi Everybody!!!

Sunny and nice here today so far. Not hot... Yay!!!

Heading to town to get prescriptions and some coffee creamer. Maybe some meats. Am running out of ideas for what to cook. I get sick of the same old things. Need some new recipes.

I hope everybody has a good day.

Jamie, we are always here for you.

Hugs, Karen...

hi Karen...
Went grocery shopping before dawn this morning. I'm in the same boat about repeat meals....especially now that I'm cooking for one.

What meals do you have frequently? Maybe we can trade recipes

(right now I'm making spaghetti. Will divide into four meals and freeze three)
Posted 9/24/2016 3:25 PM (GMT 0)
I made spaghetti last week and broke that up with a beef roast. But now I am about out of both. In the summer I don't do roasts only in the slow cooker. But soon it will be time for the oven. I like steaks but hubby doesn't. So we have to figure some more meals out. I do I mean... Seems like we have spaghetti and lasagna a lot. I will cook the parmesan crusted chicken a lot because that is the only way I can make chicken breast so it isn't dry. I am still learning I guess. I just get sick of cooking all the time. I love pork chops but recently they have been tough. It will be nice to bake them too.

He tends to eat a lot of sandwiches, but I am trying to cut back on breads. All carbs actually. I have a fatty liver and I am not doing it any favors with my life style of smoking and eating fatty foods. I guess after awhile the liver doesn't process the toxins like it use to and there are a lot in cigarettes. So I am going to try to quit again. Plus my blood sugars have been up.

Joyce if you have any ideas I would love them. I don't even know what I am going to get at the store. I do good with breakfast as I don't mind repeating it.

I have chicken noodle soup in the freezer from spring. I hope it is still good. I make a huge batch of it and then freeze the most. Then we have it for cold and rainy days. I also have chili and some bean soup.

I don't know if my ideas or meals will help much. But I am open to ideas. I will do more thinking on it.

Have a wonderful day Joyce!

Hugs, Karen...

it's not how I roll lyn. I am a decent member. I am aware that admin has a life, etc, but it aint good enough in my book to not get a single response from things; I mean a doz e-mails, with mods telling me he slow and to keep pushing. well, I am over it. it is invalidating and not within the ethos of hw. these go back 2 years. it's not like I started here last week!!!! love 2 all.
Posted 9/24/2016 7:05 PM (GMT 0)
Remember though Jamie, quite awhile back he said he didn't receive your emails. Just a thought. Maybe something went wrong.

Either way, glad you still are here...

Hugs, Karen...

Sorry I haven't posted -- been sick a lot lately and really tired.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Not sure what is going on with me, been feeling really down this past week. Before this past week I had been feeling OK since I moved. Tried to find a therapist here but it was almost impossible to find one who takes my insurance. I wondering if I just need to try and use my coping skills,etc.

Has anyone here gone from seeing a therapist regularly to not? I miss not having someone to talk with, but establishing a new realtionship takes a lot of energy.

Hi Hope, So glad to see you post. Do you take any vitamin D3? I take it but just got blood work to see if I am taking enough. Should have results in a couple of days. The days are getting shorter and that effects us. Check out the vitamin D3.

I hope you feel better soon hon...

Joyce, thank you so much. I am copying the list. It will give me some ideas. I love everything on it. I do make breakfast for supper sometimes. Today I bought two chicken breasts and some salads. We are eating that and I don't have to cook. I made macaroni and tuna salad last week and it was nice to have something different in between the spaghetti and the roast. I still have roast left for sandwiches. I got some sub buns. Maybe a philly beef sandwich.

I got some burger, pork chops and a round steak. I was thinking stroganoff or just simmered in gravy. I have some muffins to make. I got a muffin pan for the larger muffins. I have cranberries and oranges also a real ripe banana. I think I will make banana first so I don't waste it. I love the cooler weather for cooking. I actually do love to cook but got sick of it. If you know what I mean...

I hope you both have a good evening. I really do hope you feel better soon Hope. Maybe try 1000 iu of the D3 to see if it helps. It works rather quickly too. I can always tell if I miss mine by the way I feel. I take 5000 iu daily. will find out soon if I Need more. Been feeling kind of glum here and there myself.

Take care all...

Hugs, Karen...
Posted 9/24/2016 9:17 PM (GMT 0)
Thanks, Karen, for the reminder about D3. I used to take it all the time, but with the move, I had forgotten all about it. Will pick some up tomorrow. I just had blood work done too. Was supposed to get the results this past week but dr. cancelled. Going this week. I noticed that she tested D3.
Joyce and Karen, the lists of foods sound delicious! I should get my recipe book out and try some new recipes. Sometimes I just seem to make the same things over and over.
Posted 9/25/2016 2:59 AM (GMT 0)
Hi Everyone,

Have fun cooking Karen and Joyce, You guys can check online for recipes too. I sometimes google recipes. There are always ones that look yummy but I never make them.

Hope you blood test results will be okay hope.

Hi Jamie, PSchawl, Lynn, Trina, Myself, everyone else...

Work plus 3 courses for school is keeping me really busy since the start of September. My new bed time is between 12:00am and 3:00am daily, even on weekends, then I wake up around 5:00am to get ready for work. I am exhausted. I have reach a point of frustration. Just trying to keep my calm.
Today I took a little break and tried to relax a bit. But it's back to full force from tonight. I am beginning to wonder why did i sign up for this degree?

Wishing everyone a good night.

Turtle, I wasn't making excuses for him. It sucks, plain and simple. about on my last nerve as well, but haven't found a better online group. Do what is best for yourself, but don't cut yourself off from support without having other support in place. Peace.
