Super Find in Hot Springs!!!!!!!!! (THEY DO PHONE/MAIL ORDERS DAILY!!!)

For those of you that are far away, if there is a specific kind you want to try that they have a sample packet of, I can pick it up for you before support group and bring it up to you guys.  I can just keep the receipts and y'all can reimburse whatever it costs.  (Sample packets are usually about $1.60 or $1.80 so I'd definately recommend that before buying a whole tub of something.)

Also, if you guys find a sample that you like, I can always pick up a tub for you before support group and bring it up so you wouldn't have to KEEP coming to HS if  you didn't want to.  No biggie for me to do this - just let me know. 

I was in there this week and specifically asked about web orders and/or phone/mail orders.  The employee said that they do NOT have a place to do web orders.  However, she said that they do phone in orders that they mail out every single day. 

This was just the employee talking, but she said that they will either take your credit card number over the phone or bill you.  But she said that they mail out tons of orders every day.  So they must do a lot of business over the phone. 

This looks just like my local health food store.  They have the same metal shelfs and every thing.  They sell the Spirutein protein powder and also the sample packets.  They charge 1.60 a pack (some 1.80).  And each packet only has 14 gms of protein in it.  Since I am dependent on protein powder for almost all of my protein needs, I would need to use a lot of these to get 60gms a day (I try to get the other 30gms through food). 

I have bought these though, and mixed a packet with my regular vanilla protein powder to change up the flavors.  Most of them taste pretty good.  I didn't like the peanut butter & chocolate one, now the chocolate chip cookie (or was chocolate cookie n creams?)

I have never tried the rice or the pea protein, does anyone know if we can absorb this as easy as the whey?  I have also seen egg protein powder to, and have considered buying it. 


Also I like a lot of the other products my local health food store has, like almond butter (great for spreading on rice cakes, or mixing in farina wheat cereal), also cashew butter, and raw peanut butter.  Also all kinds of milks, fresh dried fruits and veggies, natural honey and all kinds of herbs and such. 

It's just a little store, nothing like wild oats.  They always have free samples.  I have gotten little blocks of goats milk soap and different supplements. 

That's super cool that you have a store like that too! 

OT - but how is your disability appeal going?  How have you been lately???

Hey Wendy, I guess my diability is going good.  I haven't heard anything from them in a few months and I am still getting a check every month, and medicare and medicaid QMB are still picking up my medical bills. 

I go to see Dr. Baker on the 19th (it was shceduled for last month, but not all my bloodwork had come back and the office was worried that it wouldn't be back in time for my appt, so to be on the safe side, they rescheduled).  I hope all goes well.  I am worried that my labs won't be up to par. 

I'll definitely be at the Walk from Obesity!!  Will you be there?  We can all walk together with Dr Baker.  I want to get my pic taken with him and those big blue eyes *drools* I will be bringing my cell phone to take lots and lots of pics!!
