It's actually called an EZ Cup, by Perfect Pod. And then you buy these little filters. But ti's the best system I've found and the one you get the least amount of coffee grounds in the cup.
Vickie - I'm the one who asked the question about how many skeins of yarn I would need for a queen sized afghan - bit enough to use as bedspread (putting pillows under it, and overhang on the sides, and fringe). I made one years and years ago for a single bed.
Cindi - You mentioned support group meetings - damn, I planned on going to the hospital's group this month. I read your post at 4:52 --- and the meeting was today 4:00 - 5:00. I really have just lost track of the days this week.....CRS!
Eileen and Vickie - I only have a few items to sell; I've bought two things from Craig's List (1) A bed that Maura and Joe picked up for me, and (2) Pookie, my puppy - I went to the woman's house in a ritzy section of Connecticut and we did our transaction in her driveway. Someone did try to scam me on CL - I was looking at a used camper -- it was listed as being in MA and I wanted to look at it and suddenly I'm told the camper was in MA but the owner moved down south, and she wanted me to rely on pictures and send money through E-Bay.....buying from CL and paying through E-Bay didn't make sense so I contacted E-Bay and they said that set-up was fraud used regularly by scammers. I'm only selling a few "sets" of items -- I can't be bothered selling each item individually, it's just not worth the time and effort. I had asked Maura if she and Joe wanted to take the stuff and sell it and split the profits they could, but Joe seems to be too busy all the time. But I can just accept the fact that he's busy and let it go at that.

Hello Judy....just to say PLEASE get rid of that maintenance guy. He is causing you more stress then you need.
I am glad the SLOB has finally moved out. I hope she has to pay for damages in that apartment. That is terrible that people are so awful!!
I have gained a lot too. It isn't just my eating it is the not being able to walk most days. I really, really don't like myself. Definitely going backwards!! Right now I don't give a ****!!
Tomorrow I will be on Amazon and other sites checking out coffee and Keurig's. Thanks for the information.
Love you sweetie...hugs....connie d
Judy,
quit being so hard on yourself. I am not going to make excuses for you or anyone else who has a weight gain, but I think you need to stop and look at what is going on. The stress from your job, your family, and Rick's family has real consequences: 1) Bodies respond to stress by releasing elevated hormones and some of those hormones and steroids that come from the pituitary and adrenal cortex are the same types of hormones that slow metabolism to a halt...because when we are stressed, our bodies take on the fight or flight and in both of those cases, our metabolism slows down so when or if we fight or run, we have all the energy we need to accomplish those acts. When we are under stress, we are not going to fight or run, so we sit there and our metabolism has slowed down so there is no burning of calories and then we have those steroids like epinephrine and norepinephrine flowing in our blood telling us to get ready and one way to get ready is to eat....so 2) we eat to prepare our body for war and also all those steroids from our body make us nervous so we eat and because our metabolism has slowed down to nothing, and because we are too stressed to go out and do anything, the food we eat gets stored as fat.
Your body is responding to your situation in the only way it knows how...to prepare you for all those stress hormones and steroids flowing in your veins.....you probably are not in any shape to get another job now nor can you remove your family situation right now but you can do some things to counteract those effects of all that stress...don't roll you eyes. 1) meditate...don't play games on Facebook and call that relaxing because it isn't...find a time when you are no****ching TV, working, playing on line, or planning events...turn off the lights or lower the lights, maybe light a candle, and just start with some breathing exercises that are meant to relax you; then you need to work on letting all that **** go...I meditate every freaking night and sometimes during the day....2) start some type of exercise program...for me YOGA works and a little walking. Don't over do it or you know it will hurt you. Start slow and just work on making a little change that will improve your joint mobility and circulation, whi*****reases your metabolism...3) make slow changes in your diet. If you try to remove all those addictive foods and drinks at once, your body will respond. Maybe you could go from two cokes a day to one...then maybe try to drink diet drinks. Increasing water will help remove your body of all that metabolic waste that comes from it shutting down. 4) look at what you are eating and record it for a week and start substituting those things that are causing weight and water gain...raw vegetables for chips, lean meat for fattier meats, sautéed or steamed vegetables for those in heavy sauces....5) finally, remember, you still have the tool and it will work...you just have to stop going around the tool...stop the glider foods, the sugary drinks, and the fatty foods. If you are like me, when I ate meat, I couldn't eat a lot, so make sure the meat you eat is leaner...so you can cut the fat....make smart food and drink choices.
Again, stop beating yourself up but do take actions, inventory your kitchen, journal your food and drink intake, make changes...and move...meditate...and measure. You know the drill.
