I went searching for some new recipes and I cooked.  Nothing extravagent but I made a watermelon salad with reduced fat cheese.  It was pretty yummy.  I like when I take the time for me.

Congratulations!  I am glad you are feeling so upbeat and happy!  It is fun watching everything melt away.  Every ring I own has to be resized and I am happy to do it.  Wait til your shoes start slipping off your feet.  It is fun.  Enjoy!

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Hi Floridians,

I'm a New Yorker who's thinking of relocating to Florida. I'm looking for a laid-back beach town and want to escape city life and winters. I plan to keep my job and tele-commute, so finding employment is not an issue. I'd like to be near a major airport so I can back and forth to NY with ease. I'm only just beginning to research so any advice you have is welcomed!

Thanks,

That is terrific.  A word to the wise -- put those rings in your safe deposit box now!  Don't wait till it slips off your finger and you either lose it or go crazy looking for it.  I remember I was making potato salad one day about six months after surgery.  When I make large amounts of potato salad I dump the potatoes on a cookie sheet to cool to get rid of the condensation.  Well I did that and as I was spreading the potatos I noticed something shiny.  You guessed it - my wedding ring, and I had not even missed it off my finger!
