Subway is going antibiotic free meat in 2016 joining McDonalds and Chipotle. Don't eat much Subway but Woot!

Yeah, I am playing on laptop to distract myself from this Cubs game.

If I can't be there, I'm usually found yelling at my TV. If I'm down low enough at a game, I'm usually yelling. Loudly. My friends find this quite amusing as normally I'm pretty quiet. When I'm not being blunt or sarcastic, that is. It's probably a good thing that they generally find me amusing; I think I'd be completely unbearable otherwise.

Great movie. I loved the West Wing that came after it. The show kind of declined after Martin Sheen was no longer the president.

West Wing is on my bucket list.

Finally took the bandaids off of the incisions and thoroughly washed them. Was a little afraid to before this because I can't feel the skin on top of them and didn't want to make them bleed. One of them looks like it bled several times after the surgery and when I rubbed it, I though a little piece of skin came from it, and it turned out to be a piece of a stitch. Putting a band aid back on that one along with some triple antibiotic ointment and calling my doctor first thing tomorrow. I mean, it looks like it scabbed over, but still.

I'm glad it wasn't skin, but I just got the heebie-jeebies.

Jack hates anything put on him. He'll paw and bite whatever it is, until it comes off! His attitude is, "I'm not dressing up for humans. Just give me the treats!!"

As does Walt. I won't put it on him until we unload him from the truck and hopefully he will be distracted by other dogs and food. He always wears a bandana. He is fine with that unless it is new, they tend to stretch to fit more comfortably. He has worn one since he was a pup. Back then many were missing the point of scarf from trying to bite it off but he got over that long ago.

Yeah, I think I turned a bit green. I thought it was skin because the skin on that hand is really dry and it's sluffing off. I had to go sit down after I realized what it was. Yuck!

At first I thought you were giving her a recipe for one dish, but as I continued reading and got to peanut butter I realized they were several different ideas.

Obviously I totally missed your first several words.

Ha! Me too! The joys of skimming posts.

I'm having some steamed cauliflower with cheese (so I can mush it) and mashed potatoes for dinner.

no couliflower for me.. hate that thing D:

So let me tell you how my morning went. I woke up and wasn't feeling well. I started walking to my bathroom, got lightheaded and fell catching my the bottom side of my chin on a table corner. I snapped awake with hands covered in blood and my daughter calling my mom. Long gross story short, I didn't need stitches but my chin was covered in scab powder, butterflied and bandaged. I'm supposed to talk as little as possible, no kissing and no solid food and use a straw for three days. I'm really craving a burger and my tomato soup with soggy crackers isn't cutting it.

Oh poor you. {{{HUGS}}. Now I understand the Cauliflower comment before. Do you have the flu on top of all this?

Proud of your DD. Wise beyond her years.

Oldest is over the kiss thing too. We give big group hugs . Grandma, grandpa, and the 2 boys. The youngest still comes for a big hug and kiss.

theres always time for hugs!

Twinings Earl Grey is my cold weather warm me up tea.

Starbucks has a good Earl Grey now too since they bought Teavana. Tazo I like but not their Earl Grey. It is like Sleepy Time Tea, some is so much better than other versions.

 

[Cesar R M]

My daughter was the same way. Me, I can handle my own blood and stuff. On someone else, I panic. It's the worst.

a little blood shouldnt be a problem..
unless of course.. you go full "my is bleeding" moment..

Release the food!

No idea why your comment instantly reminded me of the famous RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

What she said we've all learned to agree to disagree sometimes.

That is the only way forums work. Other wise you wind up with drivel. Most of us that can dish it out can take it. Most.

I want a president like the one in the movie Dave. I loved Dave. "I once caught a fish that was this big". I should watch that again...it's been a long time. Funny movie.

still inspiring, shows all dirty plots, on purpose mismanagement and other things by guys who really are just soulless politicians.. loved how the "every day guy" fixed the issue with a lot of effort.

funfact, reminds me about that challenge that was mentioned online.. where a group of members of both parties (rep and dem, normal members, not full fledged politicians) could balance the budged after just one week of debates.. and make the budget go into green.
But then, theres a lot of interests that want the money at all costs that wont let that happen.
