One Ton of Sun un Fun in Sharing 481!

Post a few transcripts, eh?

[Heather]

My scan came back normal  So I'm supposed to watch what I eat until they can get me in to consult with a surgeon. I'm not supposed to eat fatty foods, dairy, vegetables, fruit, and watch my grain consumption. Which leaves me eating a couple of saltines and drinking water [which gives me horrid heartburn]. My options currently are starve or just eat whatever and pray I don't die.......

I've had problems for almost 2 years now. My bosses step daughter started having problems a month ago and her gallbladder is coming out on monday. I just don't understand......

[MelodyB]

That's so stupid. They won't find anything till it kills you. Then they will find it on the autopsy.

Home-made Pizza for dinner tonight!  Yummmm.  Hey, where is my piece of strawberry cream cheese cobbler? Sounds really good!

It's on my counter waiting on you...

[Melody]

Heather, sounds like that leaves beans, mushrooms, and broth. Oh and Almond milk. That sounds pretty good!  I'll tell ya a fast really helps sometimes besides for spiritual things.  While I am a believer in the Daniel's Fast, a regular just-water fast is just easier. 

A tiny amount of Bragg's apple cider vinegar in your water, as in not even enough to taste, is beneficial for cleansing all your organs.  While it won't drastically reduce your heartburn in such small doses, it will help.


I want some of this strawberry cream cheese cobbler!  Or maybe a recipe? 

In sharing:
Last night of our Anniversary week was tonight.  We went uptown and ate at the Plaza.  It was fun.  I was feeling a little dorky not knowing how cooked I wanted my grilled duck... lol  I guess you don't grill duck well done?  I've only had roasted duck which is cooked through.  For that matter I didn't even know ANY poultry was supposed to be pink.  But I guess this was.  I'm so uncultured.    It was rather lovely though.  Call me weird but on the very rare occasion we get to go on a date, we love to eat earlier than the usual crowd.  Not quite 4:30 but 6 is cutting it close.

When the place started filling up we left to a little coffee shop and talked about goals and vision for the global missions dept.  Our conference is in August!  Time is flying!

[Chseeads]

got any room for some unskilled labor?

I have more room than imaginable. lol



Went to work, came home, tended fowl and such. 

I'm wore out and stressed and anxious and such.  Bleh.

Work again tomorrow....oy.

Morning, all.... Up and ready to start another cold dreary day....come on, spring! I shall post the receipe for the cobbler in a bit, when I find it- Lou cleaned the bar off before I could rescue my printed copy, so hang tight and I shall retrieve it from my electronic file. It IS delish- I'm enjoying a bowl of it now.

 And here 'tis...STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE COBBLER!!!!
Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler
1 stick ( 1/2 cup) butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 quarts whole strawberries, capped and washed
4 ounces cream cheese, cut in small pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and pour into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour directly over the butter in the baking dish, but do not stir.

Add the strawberries, arranging in a single layer as much as possible. Sprinkle cream cheese pieces over strawberries. Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and edges are bubbling. (Crust rises up and around the fruit, but fruit will still peek out of top.)
* I cut the strawberries up, into fourths, because the only "fresh" strawberries Walmart had this time of the year were imported, and were HUGE.*

I was looking around town yesterday for a small guitar amp (they make great loudspeakers, and cheaper than a really good boombox) and found a pawn shop with a lot of CDs I had never looked through.  I'd still be there now, but they had to close for the day.  No fair!

[MelodyB]

[Lynx]

  to you as well.

Oh, and I did find an amp.  A Fender 38 watt (more than enough for my purpose) that is small enough to carry around easily, for a flat $50.

Gonna have to try that one!

Nursing service done. 3 want to be baptized!

Now on to section 10 mass choir practice.

Then church to tonight with a Bro. James Littles. I guess he's an awesome teacher, I'm excited! 

[Heather]

Woke up. Worked out. Got some things out of storage since Brandon is finally building shelves and etc for our spare room. Started laundry. Found his receipts for buying a pack of cigarettes every other day for the past week. Getting ready to warm up some lunch.

I wouldn't even be that mad but he's lied to my face about it. I'll catch him outside working with a cigarette and he'll tell me he had an ashtray in the building and found it. I guessed he was lying to me but now I have proof. And he can't pull the 'they are for dad' line because they are all on days he's worked and are from Chilhowie, Erwin, and Johnson City for single packs. I figured he'd fall off the wagon. Most people do their 1st try but I'm peeved he lied to me about it. What else does he lie to me about? GGRRRRRR!!!!

[Lynx]

Shame?  Guilt?  It's not easy to deal with failing.  Worse to admit to someone else you failed.  Try to make him understand you are upset that he lied to you, and make it clear you are not upset because he failed.

[Melody]

It would make me wonder Heather, if he really is ready to quit or if he's just trying to please you. We can unintentionally put people in that position and the effect is they are willing to lie to keep the peace or so they think.

By the way, something I've been meaning to ask Roscoe:  Does Arkansas have a deal with Mapquest or what?  Every time I open mapquest, it defaults to Little Rock, AR.  I can enter a zip code or city name for wherever else I want to look at, but Little Rock is where it opens to. Try it yourself and see.  Did the tourism board pay Mapquest, or is Mapquest HQ based there?

[The Purple Fuzzy]

it's raining here.  This is a good thing, it will wash some of that yellow pollen down.

[Chseeads]

i'm tarred and wore out. 

i have to catch up in here later.

Thats probably because your ip host is located out of Little Rock.

[Heather]

I told him after he stomped around a bit not speaking to me that I'm very proud he went 3 months not smoking. That's awesome for someones 1st try to quit. We talked it over and I told him I'm more upset about the lying than I am the smoking. So things are kinda smoothed over.

[Kim]

didn't do much of anything today.  thinking about going to clean the bank tonight so i don't have to do it tomorrow.  Might go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow.  Most people can't say this, but i have a wonderful mother-in-law!!!  I guess after 25 years with her son, she probably figures i'm here to stay!
