Mary, sounds like somethings "fishy" today, lol, glad you ate so well. I get into a "fishy" mood rather often, too, but am allergic to shellfish. Don't worry about venting, why do you think so many boards have members who have been on them for years and years, I've been on here around 9 years, Linda has been on longer than that. I have 2 other boards that I've been on for 10 years at least................

Thursday's foods

B: nothing

Brunch: eggs, bacon and a waffle and several cups of black coffee

Snack: Starbucks skinny mocha frappachino

D: 2 eggs and some aging spinach leaves and onion, scrambled. Black coffee

Evening snack: one whole grapefruit and some Baby Bel cheese and black coffee.

[Mssarge]

Gracious! I lurked for a long time before joining but it's hard to think you've been on here that long...but with the friendship you developed with some of those who have passed on, it's not surprising. Looking forward to the day I can say I've been on this forum that long.

It is strange, I know I should be eating fishy stuff several days a week, but it seems as tho' I'll go a long time without any, then pig out on it. I really wasn't planning on it for today, but realized if I didn't use it today I'd lose it and didn't feel like doing that. I usually don't eat that much fried foods, but couldn't resist it today/

Hope your trip to the flatland went well. It's a real shame DH wasn't able to get into the closer doc's office, but it's probably for the best, don't you think? Sometimes it's really hard to change doctors in which you have confidence. I just wish we had changed my DH's nephrologist sooner as she was so much better than the old one. BUT we can never second guess what has happened.
