I was up way too late last night. It's going to be a looong day! It finally cooled off a little. I think it's supposed to be 78F today lol.
QOTD: I forget I had surgery sometimes when I'm planning meals to cook for the family. I think of cooking all these sides that sound good and then I'm like oh yeah...can't/won't eat that anyway so I will keep it simple. When we go out to eat I grab a menu to look at what I want but quickly remember it doesn't matter because I will eat 2 bites of what my husband orders anyway.
Daisy, I hold doors for people every day and so do my children. It's a southern thing I guess. One time I went to St Louis MO and while walking through a store I briefly made eye contact with a woman and smiled at her, as I always do, and she walked over to me and said you aren't from around here are you. When I held doors open for people they almost seemed annoyed because they had to acknowledge it. It was so strange to me!

It is a southern thing....a small town thing even. I grew up in a really small town....literally, there were 12 people in my senior class in high school. So...when I go to the "city" (which is anything bigger than about 10K people), people look at me weird because I smile, or say hello, or hold a door open. Or when there's a little kid that is looking at me and smiling or waving, I always acknowledge them and say hello or "Hi there!" It seems to drive the parents of these children into some sort of "STRANGER, DANGER!" type of behavior.
It's kind of frustrating to know that people aren't teaching their kids to do this kind of thing anymore.

I live in the Houston area which is a giant city and everyone greets each other and holds doors. No one would look at you strange around here. If I'm at a store and my kids see a person struggling with loading something in a basket or car they will run over to help even without being told. I can't imagine living any other way. I

Daisy, I heard my fellow countrymen crashed the Canada immigration website last night. I can echo what many others have posted...it was a late night. That's all I will say about that.
I make constant mistakes, I must admit. I was hardcore that first year or so - not a sip of alcohol, low-carb, super intense exercise regime...and I made it to goal. Now, I am much more lax and I certainly buy things that I know I shouldn't, or eat things that I know might not sit well. Some days I feel like I can eat like a "normal" person (both portion size and item) and then others I am reminded that this is not the case. I'm a work in progress and will be until I die - that I can say with certainty.
Time Since Surgery: 3 years next month
B: Egg salad
L: Trader Joe's balsamic vinager and rosemary chicken strips made into chicken salad, on sourdough bread
D: Probably turkey tacos
I just want comfort food today.
Stay warm up north! And can I just say, I love coming back to the post in the afternoon and reading your positive and encouraging comments on people's posts. You are just a really incredible person. People like you help me to keep the faith in this uncertain and often intolerant world.
