"High energy battering ram running around the house" sounds a lot like one of my cats if you are interested!

i think a monkey and cat hybrid would be fun. It would look just like a cat, but walk on two legs and give you a high five with its little hands. It would get the jar of treats and pass them out to all its cat friends.

The hoarding has started again. Someone told me freezer sales are skyrocketing. The virus is getting worse worldwide. Great Britain is in a four week partial lockdown. Italy is close to lockdown again. Other countries are seeing more cases and more deaths. Many people are choosing to have Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings and it might be much worse this winter than last.

JB: acid does imitate hunger and I think that you may have solved that problem with the apple cider vinegar. I dropped Instacart for the summer, but need to start that back up. I am doing a curbside pickup today.

I have had GERD since my first surgery 12 years ago (OMG, I just realized that I missed my 12 year surgiversary last week!) and it's severity ebbs and flows, but it's never gone away completely. It would be a miracle if this is my new life but I am skeptical...

I have only had it a few times, but would not wi**** on anyone. I am currently on a tablet that is bicarbonate of soda. I take one at night and one in the morning. I also have an adjustable bed and sleep with my head always elevated. I am hoping the vinegar is the right thing for you. My doctor prescribed the bicarbonate pills because I refuse to take any of the conventional pills.

He gave me a prescription for them, but I know they are over the counter and think the drug store did not use my insurance and just sold them to me at the over the counter price.

If that was not working for me, I would be trying the vinegar.

Good morning JB and Menuers,

Yes JB everyone is prepping for this week. DH has loaded the freezer with meat and veggies for about a month because of the effects the election might have. Some even feel as though there will be a civil war. I hope none of it is true but I am prepared if it is.

Does anybody know what Costco's equivalent to Miralax is? I been using Sam's club Clearlax but we are switching our subscription to Costco.

Besides shopping and running this weekend I also got my Turkey for Thanksgiving. Last year everyone was raving over the Popeye's Turkey so I had to do it. I will let you all know if it is worth the $40 bucks.

QOTD: I am going with the Sea Lion and A Labrador Retriever. There both absolutely adorable they both love water. I would cuddle with that. Just hoping Jim doesn't cross that Clam with anything. LOL

Accountability. I think I ate 3 whoppers but I mostly snacked on apples, pizzellas, pumpkin spiced whipped cream from Aldi, a few nuts and as always peanut butter.

TSS: 2 years 10 Months and 22 days 132 (lowest 130.8)

CB: Dark roast coffee with SF ID Pumpkin Spice w/ Miralax and Fiber

MS: Strawberry Cottage doubles and berries

CB2: Dark roast coffee with SF ID Pumpkin spice

L: Chicken salad and Snack selects Colby cheese stick.

D: French onion Meat loaf, Mock potato salad made with cauliflower, Tuscan bean salad.

Water and vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and my blood work has been great. My B12 has been High so I cut my sublingual to every 3rd or 4th day. And I have now added 500mg of Magnesium

Exercise: 3 mile run (It was 20 ° this morning I opted for the dread mill) .

Everybody have a Great week.

Brightest Blessings

Chrissy

I don't remember if Costco has their own brand of Miralax... I think I just bought the giant sized version of the real stuff. I think the only off-brand kind I have gotten is from Target.

I like your seal-dog mix idea--I would pet that so hard :)
