What's on your (Tues) Menu?

Chrissy,

I miss all the people too! I find myself thinking of them.

Sometimes I think, Is it something I said. It is so sad. I am glad Julia bowed out gracefully and didn't leave us wondering.

people come and go from the thread - I don't think it usually has anything to do with what others have done or said - I think sometimes they just take a break and then end up not coming back - or they pop in only very occasionally to see how everyone is doing. There have been some long-timers who've mysteriously dropped off and never came back - I always wondered what happened if they were "regulars" on here for more than a year or two - but it does happen. There are several people from back when I started on here c. 4-5 years ago whom I really miss - and some who came later, too, who posted here regularly for a long time and then dropped off. I think there are only a couple people on here regularly now who were here when I started - but some of the old-timers do pop in occasionally.

Janet and Karen are both FB friends of mine. Karen backed off of a lot of her social media stuff around the time of the election because she got so sick of all the political stuff (I don't think she meant OH - I think she mostly meant FB - but she backed off everything). She said she'd probably eventually get back to it once things calmed down again (although she hasn't thus far...she may also be in a place with unreliable internet service now, too - that's happened before). Janet sometimes posts on FB. I think she's got a lot on her plate right now with her health and her spouse's dementia. She doesn't really talk about it, but some of us know what's going on. I totally understand. I'll tell them you guys have been wondering about them.

does anyone know Madison Rose's real name? I'm wondering if we should try contacting her to make sure she's OK - but I have no clue what her real name is..

OMG thank you for the update I feel much better and I will continue to pray.

I'm worried about Madison Rose also, she always posts.

I hope she's OK. She was getting pretty sick - I wonder if she's in the hospital or something (??). Does anyone know her real name?

Sheila's another person who seems to have dropped off the thread :-(

Good morning everyone. I am busting out of this house today. I have not left my house since last Wednesday due to an ice/snow storm. Things are starting to melt and I am headed out to shovel. My son was supposed to come home last weekend for his birthday, but was unable to due to weather and the roads closing. I am thankful that we were all home safe though and he will be home in a few weeks before he leaves for Virginia.

Hillary, I am sorry to hear of your health issues. I hope it is nothing serious.

QOTD- I used to be a bigger coffee drinker. I have never been big on the flavored creamers. I enjoy a cup of a nice black french roast. I usually have a cup in the morning and then switch to hot tea. I find if I drink more than a cup, it makes me burp.

I feel like I have been snacking more than usual and I need to reign it is a bit. So, my food plan for today is.

Breakfast- 2 eggs and cottage cheese

Lunch- can of tuna with pickles, onions and siracha

boiled egg if needed for a snack

Dinnier- I am roasting a whole chicken, broccoli

Need to focus on getting my water in. I can feel that I have not been drinking enough.

Have a great day everyone.

I have friends who live south of Portland and they got walloped by the storms.
