Having heat and hot water must feel absolutely luxurious! Yay!

I have been WAY up and sorta down weightwise my whole life. My highest weight was 299, which was horrible, I couldn't move well, forget about putting on socks and tying shoelaces.....I am currently 215, and trying to get below 200. It took me 3-1/2 years to get down to this weight, mostly because I ...

I think the movie is coming out at the end of this year. Wow. It all takes place at once, so the kids do not age....In the book Ender goes to battle school at 6? and does his thing at 12-13. In the movie, Ender is a consistent 13. Not sure how well that will go over....

Harrison Ford is Hyrum Graff.

Iolanthe.....have you read Guards! Guards! yet? I think that is my favorite Pratchett followed closely by Soul Music.

You guys are humorous!

This is a very stealthy recipe. wholenewmom.com/recipes/silky-smooth-bean-fudge/ Silky Smooth Bean Fudge Ingredients: 3 1/2 cups cooked beans (the equivalent of 2 cans. Preferably, use de-gassed beans) 3/4 cup coconut oil (use coconut oil w/o coconut flavor or taste (i.e. expeller pressed) to avoid ...

Oh, that looks so incredibly luscious. *rubs tummy*

Orlion.....regarding number 4.....If this were the case, no one would touch assisted suicide with a ten foot pole. Too much to lose. I see the point you are trying to make. There have to be fail stops. But, not a single doctor would go near it....and could you imagine the price of malpractice insura...

Yes, I know about the prequel. It didn't have as much magic for me, though, as the main trilogy. Perhaps I should give it another try.

Have a trippy day!

In a YA mode. A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray.

Well....Pantera has walked out and Bodies by Drowning Pool has hit the floor of my brain. I'm clearly lost in the past a few years, and looking forward to a stretch with NO lyrics rummaging about.

Clearly, somethings gotta give NNNNOOOOOOWWWWW!

Lorin, that is pretty powerful. And a side of the story that is not often thought about.

It's all good, Av and I understand each other. It may have been a few years, but I remember his excellent sense of humor very well

Out of simple curiosity, I took the test again. Five years after taking it the first time, I get the same card. Strength. That's kind of cool.

Oh my goodness....I just realized I was in the first round of the Mile High Club!!!! *jumps up and down* How awesome is that? I am feeling very good about myself right now!

THEM being...genetically modified foods....such as corn, soy, and salmon. It has been a while since I have had the opportunity to post, so please forgive my lapses in clarity and explanation. I am trying....and I imagine I will get better at this as time passes and I am in the swing of things again....

Hi, wayfriend! It is good to be back.

Thank you for your encouragement. I need all I can get right now....so very scary!

However, I will be among many friends of a lifetime soon, and their encouragement will mean so much.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Thanks, again.

I have never really been a "healthy" eater....but I must admit, this gmo thing is rather alarming to me, and I have been trying to buy milk from cows without the hormones, cereals with the non-gmo project verified label on it, and organic meat. I am also in the process of switching to soy ...

Scared, but happy and excited....8 years ago, I moved from Upstate NY to Florida with my parents, to help take care of my grandparents who were aging. I began a relationship which lasted for 7-1/2 years. Yes, the relationship has ended, for good reasons...but it has left me adrift, and most of my fr...
