I just looked up the brand that hubs likes and it has 6g of carbs, not too bad I suppose. But when I decided to make pickles for him I was shocked at how much sugar my Aunt's/Mom's recipe called for. I looked up other ones on the internet too and a lot had sugar galore! I don't like pickles but I had seen them as a healthy treat, but yeah not with all that sugar. Like you said for some it is like eating a candy bar! So I tried making them with barely any sugar to no sugar (a pinch of it) and hubs liked it so, no sugar it is for the ones I make.

I swap monkfruit for sugar when I make pickles.

I actually do like pumpkin spice, but some people are obsessed with it. And not today; this was a migraine treatment and I don't need anything strange in it. (fyi, so far so good on the migraine front).

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! Eddie Van Halen passed away.

Yah, I just read that -- he had cancer.

Yah, I just read that -- he had cancer.

He was a very heavy smoker. I read he had a lot of his tongue removed as well in 2000. So sad. A great musician.

Does anyone else here find

In the top bunk just for fun. I always wanted bunk beds as a kid “like the Brady Bunch.” There’s a first time for everything. Thanks, Disney!View attachment 502150

Cool...!!!
We only ever lived in 3-bedroom homes growin’ up. When myself and my next youngest bro, Chris, we’re the only 2 kiddos, we slept in a double bed in one bedroom and mom used the spare as a sewing room. When youngest bro, Larry, came along, the sewing room got turned into a bedroom for him. When our lil’sis, Elaine, came along, she got youngest bro’s bedroom and us 3 bro’s got “Brady’d” into one room with a bunk bed and a twin bed...!!!!!
Funny thing is, for the first few months we had the bunk bed, we would rotate (twin, lower bunk, upper bunk, repeat ) until the novelty wore off.
After that, myself, Steve (Greg) claimed the twin, Chris (Peter) claimed the upper bunk, and Larry (Bobby) got the lower bunk, just like on the TV show...!!!!!!!
Good times...!!!

Oh, @donaldtoo , yesterday, I forgot to give you a gift for Emy's birthday. Seeing as she's older now, I thought she'd enjoy this prepaid subscription to AARP!

Thanks so very much for the thought, Minnie...!!!
But, Emmy’s already a member of the American Association of Reallycute Persons...!!!!!

You could nuke that -- boil a little water in the nuker, and then nuke up it all up.
