It's funny figuring out what things you can have in the house and what you can't...for example, now and even before WLS, I could have pints of ice cream and they would be untouched/barely touched so long they would get freezer burned...but have me bring in the TJ's hold the cones or an ice cream sandwich and I will eat all of them in 5 minutes and be sick Other things, I know if they are available to me, I won't crave them....I always have a good chocolate bar or 6 in the fridge, knowing I could have one if I want it, they last forever and I didn't buy any GS cookies this year because I still had them in the freezer from the prior GS season. They are still in the freezer, just in case.

On the flip side of that, I bought some jalapeño cheese curds from a cheese place in Wisconsin and I won't be buying the again. Apparently I've transferred the "the sleeve is a serving" approach from thin mints to the jalapeño cheese curds. no one needs an entire packet of delicious cheese curds. I have one left and it will be the last!

When I was in college back in the last millennium, I did persuasive speaking and my topic was seasonal effective disorder. Now they realize it's a legit thing but back then not so much. I am hide from the sun, point and laugh at me in my swim leggings, long sleeve rash guard and giant hat...but if I don't get sunlight two days in a row, I'm likely to stab someone. Sunlight is important and I think anyone that lives in a gloomy place need a sun lamp too!

Will you visit Tatooine while you are there?

Jim, I saw something about a school lockdown at the airport yesterday, "AU" but people were not sure if it was Auburn or Alabama, I think your youngest is at one of them, I hope it was whichever wasn't having the situation!

Sleep and falls are scary but there's so much in bathroom to hurt yourself on, glad you are ok.

I had not heard about the train robbery, just looked it up, wild!

What is your new car?

My favorite is I Will Survive because everyone will get up and sing it with you! Especially if it's toward the end of the night!

He was the best part of that movie.

i saw a headline about the release date of the new Luther movie next month...and I wa puzzled how I missed a new Luther movie....turns out is about Luther Vandross and not Idris' Luther
