Hi.

Are you talking about the GREEN BOXES by Debbie Myers. I did a customer review search on them when they first came out. And I watched a QVC (or a HSN) video showing them. I almost bought them.

Then I read what some customers said about them. So I didn't buy them. I continued to use my green bags (as I still do, for my tomatoes, carrots, cukes, zucchini's, etc. etc.

I will use my Lock & Lock for storing my sprouts, (believe me, I HAVE LOTS OF SPROUTS IN MY FRIDGE). I take a little bag to breakfast with me when I go out in the a.m. I sit there and I take out my little ziplock back filled with my little green broccoli and fenugreek and whatever other sprouts I happened to pull out of the fridge.

I then sneak them UNDER my eggs (or egg whites), and because they give me a side of sliced tomatoes (instead of home fries), I just put the sprouts underneath all of this.

I sit there reading my newspaper (which the little cafe provides). They refill my coffee whenever I wish. I have my rye toast, my breakfast, my coffee, and my sprouts ALL FOR THE GRAND TOTAL OF $2.45.

I'm there for a good hour, socializing, and enjoying my morning breakfast. It really is the only indulgence in my life and I'm not about to give this up.

You should see the faces of the people at the next table when they see me doing the sprout thing. One guy came over and said "are they serving those green things with the breakfasts?" I laughed and said "no, I grow these at home".

That began an hour long sprouting lesson in the cafe.

Then, I walk the 10 blocks home, go the bathroom, and all is right with my day.

I can't tell you how good it is to be able to go the bathroom without having to take stimulants, and anything else.

This way of eating, well it does a body GOOD!!

I have people ask me 'Do they fill you up?" "Don't you want an occasional treat, don't you get tired of eating green?"

I look at them and I say "Let me tell you what makes my day, anytime I take my blood sugar and it says 96, WELL THAT MAKES MY DAY".

They look at me like I'm nuts. they weight 350 lbs and live on Steak, potatoes, mac and cheese and all the other stuff.

See, I USED TO DO THAT.

But I just respond. "I eat what is right for ME".

And I get comments, oh brother do I get comments. And it's ONLY FROM THE LARGER PEOPLE. Who say to me "enough already, you are too thin".

I'm too thin?? I'm a size 12. Now a size 6 would be too thin for my 5 foot 6 1/2 inch frame.

But I look like a normal average woman and that is just fine for me. I started wearing shorts for the first time at age 60. And tank tops (outside the home), at age 61.

My aim is to look my Madonna by the time I'm 70.

Wouldn't THAT be a hoot???

lol lol lol

Poor Alan. You should see him when I'm wearing a V shaped neckline and we were sitting in the doctor's office, and I happened to bend over.

I thought he would have a stroke. He waited until the doctor left and then he said "Melody, you can't wear those tops, when you bend down, you have breasts".

I said "I have breasts?? Of course I have breasts, I'm a woman, what would expect me to have?"

He just looked at me, started to sputter and said "Well, don't bend down". And he hopped off the table and tried to raise the neckline. It wouldn't go anywhere. He kept trying to pull it up. It looks just fine as long as I don't bend over.

So I don't bend down anymore.

lol lol lol

I wouldn't worry what anybody thinks. If you still have your husband jealous that a doctor - of all people, the doctor! - might be peeking at your boobs... well, girlfriend, you still got it going on.



You must be doing something right, and anybody who is telling you it ain't right is just jealous cus they don't got what you got.

Oh, Mel.... I've missed your posts.

This last one is really interesting, as they usually are!

I would caution you to not emulate Madonna (there must be another woman who is more attractive?... I just have a
new picture of her this summer and her arms look like a cadaver!
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ing-veins.html
(I believe her bosom is implants, so don't be fooled by them, her face is most likely injected with collagen and botox).

We need a bit of meat and fat on us, in case we get sick, or
heaven forbid go on chemo for cancer etc.

Speaking of sprouts! It was so wet on vacation that our sunflower seeds sprouted in the feeders! Even the deer wouldn't eat them, and deer eat just about EVERYTHING!

Mrs. D.

I don't think there is a chance in hell that I will EVER look like Madonna.

But I CAN TRY, now can't I??

lol

And why wouldn't deer eat the sprouts in the sprouter? Too wet??

I just harvested a whole bunch and as soon as Alan gets home he and I will eat a very nice sprout salad.

I don't know what I would do if I didn't sprout. I'm so used to the nice taste (and feeling much better), well, I just don't know.

These forums keep me healthy, that's all I know.

lol

Melody

P.S. I just clicked on that photo of Madonna.

HOLY COW!! What the heck is she thinking?
