Wow, that is a long commute! And I thought my 50 minutes was bad.

Public transportation, lol. What would be an hour drive with no traffic (and of course, the concept of "no traffic" is ludicrous at rush hour here, haha) gets extended with the transfers I have to take from train to subway, walking, etc. Which is just dandy on the best of days, let alone when there is 2+ feet of snow on the ground.

You'd think that New England would be used to winter weather... :rolleyes:

Yep, that sounds like the ablation surgery.
About 15-18 years ago, I went to see another cardiologist, other than my cardiologist, 'cause he would be the one to do the surgery if I wanted it, or they felt it was necessary. I wore a monitor for 2 weeks to see if they could record any events. Never had even the beginnings of one the whole time. As I've posted before, the events have since trailed off (knock on wood - my head ;) - my last event was about 8 years ago), so I've not pursued that type of treatment any further. :)
I don't want to be a bearer of bad stuff and it's different for everyone, but, she had them often up until she was pregnant with our first born and didn't have them again until about 12 years after our second daughter was born. They were more intense at that point and harder to stop ultimately resulting in her passing out. At that point it was recommended that she have the surgery, she did and all has been fine since then, a total of over 20 years. She has had other problems, but, none heart related. Again, everyone is different and there's a good chance that you won't have it anymore since you probably won't get pregnant. :jawdrop::joyfull:

Me, me, me , me , me That menu looks delish! Something for everybody!

I saw it on the news last evening and the menu looks amazing. Apparently the Cubs manager is a great Italian Chef besides being a pretty good baseball manager along with a nice man that enjoys life. He was on the news last night for shopping at a Chain Grocery in Chicago's North West Suburbs. He along with some of the coaches and players will be serving an amazing dinner that the Manager and his team will be preparing for 200 some guests that are homeless. It is part of Cub's Care. During the coverage of the ThanksMas meal prep they mentioned his restaurant he opened just months before he accepted the job as Manager of the Cubs. And the sports people started talking about how amazing and reasonable Ava's was in Tampa. :hungry: Yep we should all take a road trip. :hungry:

better prepare yourself for a full day of TACO-BLANKET (aka wrapping yourself in blankets and other stuff to keep yourself warm)

How 'bout it. Walt slipped and fell outside around midnight. He wouldn't come in. Then there is me, jammies, robe and rainboots trying to catch him to try and get him up the back stairs but he was scared. He kept running to the back of the property to avoid me. He'd come close when I'd go back in and he wanted in but not via stairs, like as if there was another way. Oy. Went on for about 45 minutes. I was awake again and a popsicle. Walt went out with me to shovel this morning but he wouldn't do the stairs again. My DD arrived as I was shoveling and opened the back door and said Hi to Walt. He was so excited to see her her ran up the stairs forgetting he was scared. Amen.

I shoveled for 2 hours in the wind but sun and was once again a human popsicle. Have yet to really warm up.

I agree. I wouldn't eat it either. Maybe that's why I love vegetables so much.
I hated game meat. The only kind I liked was when mom made Veal Parmesan. Anything else just was tough and tasted sagey. We had hunters on my dad's ranch every year and of course my dad hunted with them, and my mom did occasionally too. But I hated it and I hated the game meat. My mom would get mad at me because she'd try to hide it by mixing ground antelope in with the hamburger, but I could always taste it. She'd accuse me of going through the trash and finding the wrapping from the antelope....she apparently couldn't taste the difference. You'd have to have dead taste buds not to taste the difference!

Veal is game meat? I thought it was baby cow.

Yeah, you are right. Veal is baby boy dairy cow.

Maybe @Songbird76 Mom fibbed to her about the origin of the meat 'cause veal comes from a baby. Get why she liked Veal Parmesan though, it had to be much tastier than game meat which I can't stand either. Lamb has that same ewe taste to me too. The old lady that lived across the road from us and we kept an eye out for, her DD lived about an hour away on a family farm. She raised Emu's. One Christmas she brought us a huge basket of fresh bread and Emu Meat. We ate the bread and it was yummy.

Oh my that was underhanded, he could have at least sold them to you.
Well, the thing is my brother is HORRIBLE with money and he has a huge sense of entitlement when it comes to material things he wants. He got into trouble, maxing out multiple credit cards and he couldn't pay his bills. My dad bailed him out or he'd have gone bankrupt at 20. He had to consolidate all the credit cards and negotiate on it and he wasn't allowed to have a credit card for like a decade after he had paid what they had agreed on. But he still tended to spend money before he had earned it. When my mom passed, he tried really hard to manipulate it so he got anything of value and when I didn't let him divide it unevenly, he got angry because he "already had plans for that money" and I said, that may be but it's not your money and I have plans for it too, as it's MINE. I think he was in trouble again and knew dad wasn't going to bail him out a second time, and he had no credit cards anymore, so he pawned everything from his half of mom's estate to make up for my share that he couldn't manipulate me out of and of course he couldn't tell me he was in financial trouble again so he couldn't sell it to me, either. Not that I could have afforded it anyway. I love my brother, but I don't trust him at all when it comes to money.
