My brother-in-law is in hospital awaiting an operation because he has phlebitis. He has phlebitis because is is morbidly obese - like not far off a documentary obese. He's been obese for years and there are a number of factors...

hvedra [/i[i]]"that is what I don't understand why his mum overfeeds him" It's complicated but he's the youngest so I think part of it is that she didn't like the idea of him growing up so she was less strict with him than the other kids. But I also think...

Do you have a spice rack or, like me, an entire shelf in a cupboard of spices? I like spicy food, especially Indian food, and I'm lucky enough to have a good Indian supermarket nearby where the spices are cheap but very good so...

We often talk about the foods we like here on MyLot but what about those we don't like? I don't like onion - because it makes me ill when I eat it. The problem is that it is a common ingredient with a lot of dishes so I have to...

hvedra I know a few people who won't eat mushrooms. I know one who even gags if he sees or smells one and he says to him it smells rotten - I think he probably has some kind of allergy or sensitivity. I've only had okra a few times in Indian restaurants and it was...

hvedra We're hoping that this latest hospitalisation might have scared him enough. He actually had his operation under local anaesthetic because he was terrified of being given a general anaesthetic because of his breathing problems. He's had some scares before...

I'm a horror movie fanatic and prefer Vampires over Werewolves. Werewolf with Anthony Hopkins is on my tv right now only because there's nothing else to watch. The movie sux as far as I'm concerned. Vampires are handsome and...

So, it is really annoying to me how some women (not all) complain every single time I am on Facebook about their children. They complain every single day about their child whining or not behaving or not being able to go out...

hvedra But you would still have a belief, at least until you hit the ground... Whether other people believed isn't the thing that would affect you. What they say about your beliefs makes no difference to faith. There are plenty of believers of every flavour who...

DH and myself are on a diet and we're happy with the results so far - I've lost over four kilos and he's lost around nine kilos. It's a good diet based on the one the Hairy Bikers are doing. Their recipes are good and not "rabbit...

hvedra I think part of the reason this diet is working is due to measured servings and I only cook enoughbfor the two of us so no leftovers or second helpings

hvedra Thanks, I have to say this is a good diet because the recipes are well thought out so it doesn't feel like a typical diet. I think what DH and I are learning is more about portion control. I only cook enough for the two of us so we can't have second...

hvedra She's one of those "picky" eaters who has been allowed to eat junk both with her parents and grandparents and not only refuses to eat healthy food but refuses to try it because "ewww". This is, of course, very selective. Burgers, nuggets, fries all...

hvedra Well, it's "grandma's" house for her so there is an endless supply of chocolate and other junk in the house and when grandpa goes to fetch the newspaper they get another chocolate bar. She does do a fair amount of exercise - dancing, cheerleading, tennis...

That was one of my mother's favourite sayings. But what if someone insists on trying to get a reaction out of you and you don't want to lie and you know the truth will cause offence? A person of my acquaintance had a tattoo...

hvedra I'm thinking of something along the lines of "Yes, it has covered the old tattoo up completely" - which is exactly true and avoids me having to say anything good about the fugly thing.

hvedra It's great that your kids understand that beauty treatments are a luxury and okay once in a while but not an everyday necessity. We live in a world of "instant gratification" where people see something and think they are going through some kind of trauma if...
