Try squash

Hi Self

How are you tonight? Would you please explain to me what a sleep study is?

Im a bit fustrated tonight. Ive got 1 child in jail for not paying fines and the other is a drama queen (think she takes after her mother)

Sleep study is when the check your alfa state and heart beat and breathing. I eat while I sleep walk and the doc thinks I have sleep apmnia which compounds my weight problem and depression. In my world depression is a killer and any way possible to tone it down is a good idea

No wonder you are frustrated, you wouldn't be human if you were otherwise. Children, ah how we love them but there are days, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. We wouldn't give them up but they suck all our energy and drain our emotions all at the same time, but we get through it because we love them.

Thanks for explaining a sleep study. I have heard of many cases of sleep apnea but only once of eating when you sleep walk and that was on Dr. Phil but I cannot remember what he said. It was a while back but maybe he had archives that I can search. If i find something I will get back to you.

Don't give up and keep good thoughts.
Bless

Thank You Love. Im gonna eat my chicken and do some hand work. It calms me. I love creating.

I checked on the Dr Phil site but there was nothing. If I ever see anything I will contract you.

I got a bud with sleep apnea and has to wear a pressurized mask when he sleeps. Kinda funky thing to drag along on a fishing trip to northern Ontario.

not real sexy eh? I hope it doesnt come to that.

Thank You Sparrow.

Ive finished my hand work for the night. I love creating. I think the biggest thing I miss about the kids is cooking for them. Critter loved my cooking. He'd come and watch while I chopped and stirred this or that. It was the most intimate time I had with all three of the kids. I loved having them one at a time in the kitchen chit chatting. The ex would come off the road and that all go to hell. It was all about yelling that nothing was getting done fast enough. We always did better when it was just us, me and the kids.

Got held up at work with a nasty leak in a pipe. Going home now for a nap before going to docs. Havn't been able to eat since 10pm, am starving. Straight home to bed. Have a good night.

git you you cant go all day not eating. *hugs*

With the left over chicken I made a nice salad with spinach, bell peppers, onions, green onions, tomatoes and a crumble cranberry stilton with a low fat balsalmic vinergerette. I Love salads.

I try to eat more salads. I get the premixed baggie Spring Mix. I add smoked atlantic salmon, sprouts medley, mandarin oranges and use a raspberry vinegrette.

I LOVE rasberry but the calorie count sucks. the vinigerette im useing is 5 cal per 2 Tbs

Again, low fat is all I look for.

Workplace docs impressed with my recovery from my heart attack. Says "It looks like you're doing all the right things". Got a kick out of my tattoos and why I have them.

Awww cool! My athiest shrink likes me too lol Im so glad your doing well

I've some work to do........be back in a bit.

Off home. Need sleep and food. Ciao

Night Love *Bacio*

I had oatmeal for breakfast with cranraisons , brown sugar, and margerine. I made a Pantinini for lunch and as soon as I get off the phone with D then im making cubed steak for dinner. LOL we've been at it 3 hours LOL

I just finished making some very easy sweets.

Basically you take a can of condensed, sweetened milk and pour it into a pan, turn the heat up to medium/high and stir it until your arms falls off. eventually it'll thicken and brown a little. Remember at this stage it's at very high temperature and can burn you BADLY cos it sticks too. Also it'll get a lot thicker when it cools so unless you're trying to make a glass shard, take it off the heat while it's still quite soft but one lump. cut it into strips with a buttered knife and when it's cool enough to handle, tear off lumps and make them into balls. Let them cool and give them to your friends before u die of sugar rush.

You can also make a toffee sauce by boiling the UNOPENED cans. I am not joking. You take a can, DONT open it, cover it with plenty of water and boil for 1 to 3 hours depending how thick and toffee-ey you want it. two important points: 1) dont open the cans till they're completely cool unless you want hot toffee sauce in your face 2) DONT let the water boil dry or the cans WILL explode. My wife found this one out the hard way. fortunately she wasnt in the room at the time.

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Well that was nearly a 4 hour conver LOL I love talking on the phone. Girlfrends are the greatest.

Boiling maple syrup down and spreading on crushed ice or snow is easy too/

Guys Im sposed to be loosing weight! LOL mmmmmmmmm I love maple syrup! Is it as good in Canada as it is in Vermont?

I made chickenfried steak and broccolli steamed in apple juice (not really apple juice its sugar free apple drink) I didnt get a thing done tonight but Im so glad D and I caught up. I miss her. Her hubby is in the AF and they just moved a few months back. He lost his Dad a few weeks ago. Ive got a candle going for them. If you think of it whisper a prayer their way.

Inever steam or even cook in straight water any more. I use wine or stock. I use the instant stock powders not real boiled down stock. I'm going to leave room in my freezer for a bag of shrimp and lobster sheels so I can make a fish stock. You can buy beef, chicken and veggie stock but not fish. Must not store well.

I buy magnums of the cheapest wine I can find. red and white. Makes for great sauces brown and white sauces. Using whitewine in a skillet to cook shrimp, scallops and prawns in is yummy and with the juices makes an ok light sauce.

I think I can get it here......I'll check the grocers next time i go.
