So we tried to potty train the kid this weekend by taking away diapers. Epic fail! Thinking she is not ready yet.

Thank you for the laugh.

My sprouts are doing quite well this year. They're one of the few things I like about the weather getting colder

I only had brussle sprouts once that I liked. Then I found out how much butter had gone into cooking them. I don't think it was healthy anymore, so I just avoid them. It isn't hard to do.

Good to know, I think I'm going to attempt to make my own this week.

Would love to hear how they turn out!

I put ketchup on mine!

So glad to be past this. It will happen, when she is ready.

I think of ketchup as a masking agent if it isn't on fries, a burger, or hot dog. At my age, if I have to disguise it to digest it, it isn't worth it. I like @MinnieM123 's idea of cooking them with bacon, hold the sprouts!

Maybe take some Advil or aspirin (NSAIDS help inflammation to go down). A few weeks ago, I was walking through the woods and twice I twisted my left ankle, which in turn messed up my left knee. It's still not right yet. So, to recap, that's you, @JenniferS and me that are currently on the disabled list. (I suppose no one else wants to join us? )

I've been on that list most of the year.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I just love mint anything. (Can't believe I didn't know about these tempting Aero candies when I was in Epcot back in May. Now I have to wait another year before I go on vacation again, and can buy one!! )

They sell them (and many others) in the International section of our local grocery store.

Sympathy like.

I'll have to keep my eyes open and look in places I normally don't.

Logging off to really tidy up the house. Hubby just called and his brother is in town today (visiting from Colorado--a last minute trip), and guess who invites him over in a FEW MINUTES . . . The place is not company cleaned, hubby didn't also wash the pots and pans in the sink like he promised he would this morning, and I have to run and put on nicer clothes. They were supposed to just go out to lunch in Boston, but his brother thought it would be "fun" to surprise me AT HOME in a few minutes??!!! I don't like surprises!

I like them with ketchup, butter or bacon....it's all good!

I'm sorry to hear this.....long term pain, can make life difficult.

Sorry MinnieM123. Hubby's parents liked to surprise him on Saturday morning when I was working....after a full 40 hours, plus 4 on week-end. The house was usually in terrible disorder. That's hard for you.

I hope you've worked it out. Pinched nerves are terrible. I get it too from time to time, walking or doing something usually helps. Maybe it is my body's way of telling me to walk more!

Agree!
Its annoying when it combines:

a) numbness and lack of power.
b) tingling sensation that makes you giggle or laugh uncontrollably.
c) painful that when combined with b.. makes it even more annoying.

Love me some brussel sprouts. I don't have them often, but, I do enjoy them.

not a fan. I prefer well cooked Brussels potatoes
