In my old age I seem to be acquiring a taste for sweets! I've always been a sourie, salty, person...with potatoes on the side please. *grin but NOW..well it's down right scary.

And Doody, you need to know that there is something called Ben & Jerry Cherry Garcia??? in my freezer....always choc. sauce here and would those be chopped pecans or halves?

try to concentrate on coming here and being spoiled.

LOL any size pecan!

Now answer my question about the 19th hole! Have we been there? I'm thinking of one that was on a corner?

Love the red chair purchase!

I should do that, concentrate on GOOD things.

LOL...you, who can't remember anything..yes, it's on the corner and it's on the schedule. Did we "do" Redamacks? Gamble first and then eat! http://www.redamaks.com/site/index.htm

I know, I don't remember anything, LOL! But I do remember that place for some reason really well. I can see the inside of it and even the parking lot in the back where we parked.

Nope, haven't done Redamaks yet and I think you said Mr. Alffe wants to go too. Mr. Gamblin Man?

hey barbo,

along with eating before grocery shopping, try to eat a handful of nuts.

There is a planter's nut-rition (South Beach Diet recommended---note, I am not endorsing the South beach diet for I am on SEE Food diet---but I always loved nuts)

eating a handful of nuts can curb your appetite, have more protein to make you less hungry.

all those calories from the sweets...gulp...I worry more about your possible diabetes and heart...

just to SCARE you about what they can do TO you...

the trick might also not to go cold turkey but cutting back.

For example, keep a note on how much sweet teas you drink a day. If you usually drink 8 glasses, drink 4 for three days, then 2....subsitute the rest with water.

Also, we dilute our teas. Starting with just 1/3 cup to 1/2 then 2/3 to now, almost no sweet tea. We usually do 1/3 sweet tea and 2/3 unsweetened tea.

Some calls this the "Arnold Palmer" but he likes it 1/2 and 1/2 of each sweet and unsweetened.

I'll try mixing them. I have a gallon of each in the reefer now. Thanks. Great news about the kids!!
