I never used a recipe but this is exactly it,

lol. Except I like crunchy PB so I used that.

I would say "try it, you'll like it"...but you would not like the jalapeño part for sure. The bacon, yes, maybe the bacon plus PB but definitely not the jalapenos

It depends on the program you go with. Mine had a 10 week class, plus requirements around psych, nutrition and support group sessions. Others have been in programs they didn't have any of those type of requirements. Best to talk with your medical teams

The two consecutive week rule is also a good way to uncover malfeasance and process problems.

I?m not from the pre-microwave era but I didn?t. Get my first one until it came with the house I bought in 2013. When I moved here, I had the choice of a really pretty hood or a built in microwave and I went with the hood, lol. I use mine for popcorn and that?s about it..I used to use it to warm up my Everoast deli chicken but after the boar's head recalls, not so much, lol

How long have you been with your company? We switched to ?unlimited? time off a few years ago, which is really just a balance sheet change for companies and puts the requirement to be sure to take time off on the person. I?ve been with my company almost 29 years so I say I have 5 weeks pto and try to take that amount off (I am very good about it!) but when I hit 30, I plan on upping that to 6 weeks.

I like to benchmark against other companies that still have defined vacation or sick time.

Congratulations on your full retirement!

Thank you for sharing the photos from your trip and your uncle's story with us. As long as someone remembers and speaks their name, they are still with us.

Health care in the US is primarily a for profit business, unfortunately. And it's based on insurance profit and decisions not actual medical needs.

Both my GP and my trainer said there is no science behind the having to use your hands/limbs to get up = shorter life span. But they did say, trying to do that is a good way to hurt yourself, lol!

That is such a great approach!

I hate the open enrollment period. Would it help with your decision on the FSA is you consider that the real benefit is the pre tax vs post tax dollars? If you put 1k in and need it, it's going to save you x based on your tax rate because , but if you don't put it in and need it, you won't have that tax savings. Obviously, if you put it in and don't use it, then that's cost but you would have gotten the Tax break so it might not be as bad as you are thinking.

I see her on Facebook sometimes! She's still so active with the animal causes and I think they have a new(ish) boxer rescue
