The weekend was decent. There was time for a little of everything. I made the best of failed plans yesterday. I ended up going to a vintage flea market.
QOTD- Can I choose to be a monkey? If not, how bout a good ol freak? I choose freak. It was a way to make a living for those ostracized by society. Unfortunately, it was at their own expense mentally.

"Every day is a good day. There is something to learn, care and celebrate." - Amit Ray
I read a book by a lady who was a fat lady at a circus. She lost all the weight by dieting long before weight loss surgery. It was a really strange life that those people lived. I remember her writing about the tons of food she ate every day and how distressed she was when their vehicle broke down on the road and she had to go without eating for a few hours. Also about one of the fat lady freaks in the show who sat all day on a throne that was actually a toilet because the woman had constant diarrhea.
My mother grew up in an apartment a block down the street from Coney Island and got to know some of the people in the freak show there. It was a way for those people to make a living but so sad.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I wanted to walk the tightrope and was always practicing (walking along rope on the ground). My friend's sister married a tight rope walker and learned to do it too. She was part of their act in a circus in South America. I never got my rope off the ground. Cauliflower and coconut milk are too things that gave me diarrhea. Also a lot of gas. I am careful about using them.

both of them, most nuts - vegetable milks, the drinkable versions - have a lot of fillers. Gums and thickeners. I used to tolerate one type of almond/coconut milk, Califa, and they change the formula and that was it for me. I sometimes make my own almond milk or coconut milk.

It does seem like when they come up with something that I really like they change the formula The original Quest bars were really good and I has no issues with their sweetener than one day I ordered them and their new sweetener gave me so much qas that I never bought them again.

Thank you. I am afraid to say how cute I think he is. I think am just partial since I am his Mumsy. But I get a lot of he's so cute when were out and about. I'll take it. Took him to a friends house this weekend. They always bring me PeanutButter melt aways for Christmas. I hate giving food at the holidays because I know I never get through all the treats and end up throwing stuff away. I made them a Strawberry cheesecake for Easter and took Rudy to meet them My friend said that dog hit Pay dirt. LOL. I didn't realize how much a difference we will make in his life. I just was weighing on how much a difference he'll make in our life.
