No, I didn’t know that about the Miami Dolphins…but

as far as I’m concerned they can use an unfriendly-looking snub-nose

dolphin as their mascot – I am profoundly against the Miami

Dolphins!<G> (BTW, the first pre-season game is only a little over

a month away! Colts at Redskins. Yayyy!!! I can’t

wait!)

Okay…back on topic…

When you have toast, have you tried

Ezekiel bread toast? It’s made from sprouted grains and is

supposedly good for you.<G> I keep some in the freezer for when I

get a grain jones…although the Weight Watchers points still count!

Vince had a rib eye steak last night for

our anniversary dinner (Pittsburghed) and I had black grouper stuffed with

crab. It was way yummy, but I ate too much.

Organic Valley makes several raw cheeses...various cheddars, jack style,

etc. Not mozzarella, though, but I’d think it would be easy enough

to get raw mozzarella. (Oh, the cheese will be raw, but it will probably

have been made with pasteurized milk. Sorry…I’d still splurge

on it, though…with tomatoes and basil and EVOO…Yum-O!)

I can’t tell you the last time I saw

a tick…certainly not since we moved to Florida. Which would be the opposite

of what one would *think* would be

the situation…Miz Cedar would get them periodically in Pennsylvania in

the summertime, but has never had one in the four years we’ve lived in

south Florida. Nary a flea, either, in either place…and I’ve

never used flea/tick preventatives on her. (I credit the raw diet for the

lack of fleas, but don’t know what to credit the lack of ticks with since

she had ticks in PA when she was eating a raw diet and doesn’t have them

in FL, still eating a raw diet. But I’m not unhappy not to have

any!)

I think you and I are the same age,

Ev. I’ll be 56 the end of August…Vince was married to his

first wife for 25 years, and now me for 20, and we were together five years

before we got married…yeah, he’s an old fart…turned 70 last

March.<G>

~~~~~ Did you know that the Miami Dolphins

originally intended to use the fish as their mascot/emblem, but decided it

wasn't " friendly looking " enough, so they went with the porpoise

variety?

~~~~~I do a big (18 oz) glass of water in

the morning with my vitamins, with half a lemon squeezed into it and a tablespoon

of unfiltered ACV. After walking the dogs (2 miles, 30-40 minutes,

depending on distractions!), I have hot tea and <gasp, wheeze> toast

(with olive oil, not butter). Lunch is usually an apple and an orange,

though sometimes I have yogurt, and when I do, I put flax seeds in it.

That's really tasty! And dinner is .. whatever. OFTEN a salad with

chick peas and pine nuts. May or may not put a bit of meat in it.

I'm looking forward to seeing how these uncooked garbanzos turn out!

Henry's dinner may well be something more

conventional, but there isn't always a huge variation.

But last night? We had rib eye

steaks, although we both only ate half of ours. (Apologies to any who

were offended by that...)

~~~~~I'm simply going to have to alter my

mindset about it. Because *I* like those heart-clogging, melty, gooey

rubbery cheeses (cheddar-jack, mozarella...). <sigh>

I have to make a DE run tomorrow; the

ticky-things were making Henry want to buy bug bombs (until I snapped at him -

" Do you think that poison's going to help YOUR situation any? " )

EVOO is extra-virgin olive oil.

Sorry…been a Ray fan far too long.<G>

When we just had the orchard put in, they

wanted to mulch with black mulch and I told them no because Cedar eats

it. Well, she doesn’t really eat it, but she likes to make

matchsticks out of mulch and I didn’t want anything that had any

chemicals in it. So we ended up with cypress mulch. Which I’m

pretty sure is made from cypress bark. Still haven’t seen any ticks…::knock

wood::

So I’m OLDER than

you?!?!? That doesn’t happen too often!<G> I’m

always the youngest!

And now, what is EVOO?!! (Or are you

playing with my name)?! I'm growing my own tomatoes and basil, though!!

THEN, a few years ago, we made the

ENORMOUS mistake of buying bags of bark chips to put in the erstwhile flower

beds - right up against the entire house perimeter....

Then we had ticks.

~~~~And I'm the BIG DOUBLE NICKEL November

21st! I'm a third generation Scorpio (which somewhat explains my email

addy), and Henry is 4 years my senior - also in March! We both were

married previously, but mine didn't last very long. I was way too young

and that one was way too much of a schmuck. !! (Pardon my

Yiddish).*

" I can't do those "green drinks", either, with every sort of sprout and grass in them."

How about a green smoothie? You can hide lots of greens in a smoothie. The one I use on folks who balk at the color is blueberry/banana/spinach or whatever green you like. Romaine is good, too. The blueberries will color the entire drink to be dark blue and they'll never know it's got greens in it. I'm talking fresh greens, not dehydrated barley grass or wheatgrass.

My favorite this summer is really ripe honeydew melon with lots of spinach. I put the entire, cleaned melon in the blender and then two HUGE handfulls of baby spinach and whirl it up. YUM!

I guess that makes me one of the youngest at 46. Unless you count Guido. He's technically around 15 yrs old.

Peace, love, laughter

Last week the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang Happy Birthday.

Nope! I'm 78 close to 79.

I'm younger even ...just turned 41. So glad to be one of the young ones again. I work in a school where it seems the average age for teachers these days is 25...they sure make me feel old!!

Caroline

[Guest guest]

Okay, Anne! You get the prize? Anyone else older?

Shari

[Guest guest]

Hey! Caroline, while I'm not a teacher (paraeducator) everyone my age has already retired! You can retire with 30 years and draw 60% of your top two years pay averaged. I was out goofing off while everyone else was going to school and getting their degrees.

Oh well, the kids seem to keep me young!

Shari,

I'm in the same boat. I just started in the school system 3 years ago. I figure I will have 25 years under my belt when I can retire. Wish I had started in the school system when my mom was trying to push me to do so, but obviously that was not the right time for me. I did a lot of job hopping at that time and wouldn't have survived the regular schedule that it takes. The time is right now though. I am going back to school next term...finally going to get that Accounting degree I wanted oh so long ago. I have a plan, and will eventually reach my goal of working downtown for the district...but for now...I am very content working at the school level. I only have to really deal with the kids during the morning program and when they come to my office to pay for lost books or lost planners and such. Most of the kids don't really know me...well...they know who I am sort of...cause I am the one who plays "a" when we do our Varsity Idol, which we have done for the past two years. And I always go to the dances to chaperone...and dance a little...especially leading dances like the electric slide..lol.

I'm with you...I spent my youger years playing...and having children...and enjoying life to its fullest...now I am starting to settle down! lol My son just turned 15...when he is off to college...my life will then begin!
