What's on your Wednesday menu?

Me too, let me choose!! It was just as bad today.

Sorry to hear about the bed. I always hope for chili on a menu. If nothing else on the menu fits my needs. Hope you find something you like.

Thanks - I do love a chili option!

I'm always jealous of those people in the videos I see that their job is taking care of panda cubs. The way they roll around and you have to corral them like kitties, but they are like stuffed bears...so cute and cuddly.

I was picturing the pandas in the snow rolling around. Yes please!!

When I was early post op - I always have protein shake handy. Now, 15 years post op- I still have meals I refuse t eat more than a bite. "I'm just not hungry" is often more than enough to shut down most people. "I really don't like sweets, thank you" for people that insist I absolutely "NEED TO TRY THIS ONE". No I don't. In worse case - I would smash food around, move it around on a plate as if I tried it and leave it.

I almost always have 1-2 easy for me to digest protein bars in my purse. My current to go bars are "epic meat bars". I even turn Keith into a meat stick eater. When we drive somewhere (more than an hour away) and I ask him if he wants a snack - he often says "No, I'm good" Then I pull out my latest find... i.e. Kalahari meat slices.. or biltong slices, or one of his favorite meat sticks, and share. He doesn't like Epic bars...lol. its the texture thing....I'm ok with that...

When the bed is very uncomfortable in a hotel - I sometimes asked for a second thick blanket, or a second comforter. I would remake the bed and place that under the the sheet. Or use the comforter under the sheets and just a sheet and a blanket as a cover.

Thanks, I may do that so I don't make it worse for the drive home tomorrow.

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,

Yeah, for the evening off Jen. Hope you find a self-rewarding way to enjoy it. I didn't get back for a late eyeball on the tread yesterday and I just hope Julia S is feeling much better today. So sorry about your fall. I also got to comment about Shelia's smoking. I am glad you live in America and don't smoke here first of all. And second, my SIL's brother is a doctor and when they got married, I smoked. He made a comment one time that for every cigarette I smoked around him he was inhaling 1/2 of that cigarette and asked what I thought. I said, I think you owe me for 1/2 pack of smokes. One other time I was in Tijuana with my cousin Ronnie and we were in a bar and a guy asked if he had an extra cigarette, He looked at the pack and said no there was only 20 in this pack. OK stupid stories but I think they are funny and yeah to me not smoking anymore.
