I Was Cheated

Amber @AmbiePam (126859) • United States 8h

I was told there would be rain! Yesterday, temperatures dropped to 85 F (29 C) yesterday, and though it was humid, I got around outside happily anticipating the rain. Well, no. Some places got a couple of inches, and I’m happy for...

rsa101 I can now imagine what summer feels like in here. It’s hot but still tolerable for me as a tropical islander typically experiences. And early morning can still be very cold around here.

Lab Reports

DE @DaddyEvil (178250) • United States 8h

The doctor's office just posted my lab results from the blood tests and the urine tests they did today. The labs all came back normal except the blood sugars. Blood sugars are much better than they were six months ago and almost...

Another jigsaw done and dusted

Judy Evans @JudyEv (388011) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Sep

The photo shows the 1,000-piece jigsaw that I finished last night. Although there were a lot of pieces, it was a bit easier than some because of the distinct sections. I started with the central hessian heart before going on to...

rsa101 I don't have the patience to find every jigsaw puzzle piece. However, I enjoy painting with numbers, and I've completed a diamond painting once, which I believe can be as challenging as a puzzle in some ways.

Dulce De Leche.

rakski @rakski (160954) • Philippines 8 Sep

I bought this one yesterday, a chocolate cake with Dulce de Leche frosting. It's good, not too sweet. Hubby likes chocolate cakes so it was a hit last night as dessert. Sad that our eldest is in the dorm and can't celebrate with...

Thank God for rain...

Toni @toniganzon (80698) • Philippines 8 Sep

Finally, after weeks of no rain and just haze, we are having a downpour now. It will clear the air at least, cool the temperature down, and make everything clean again. I hope it will last long enough though but not too long...

Not Very Happy Today

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23886) • United Kingdom 8 Sep

I think I snapped today and had a melt down. I love my husband and all but he just does not remember simple instructions sometimes and keep doing the same mistake. I told him so many times not to store liquids laying down on the...

Gas prices up again in California.

The Horse @TheHorse (240481) • Walnut Creek, California 7 Sep

When I got back from Montana, I was glad to see that gas prices were only up another 30 cents in California, relative to when I left. But they are continuing to rise. Unleaded Regular is now at $5.69/gallon, the highest I recall...

rsa101 Same here, we experience weekly fluctuations in prices every now and then. I think that until the Iran war is finally resolved, prices won’t stabilize. I wonder when this will finally end so that prices can stop fluctuating wildly.

New Coffee Grinder

Dinner

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13435) • United States 7 Sep

We are slowly learning what does and doesn't spike my husband's blood sugar. We are finding that he can occasionally indulge as long as his choices aren't insanely loaded with carbs, as long as he isn't eating like that all week....

rsa101 I’ve learned that carbs can be just as much of a culprit as sugar when it comes to affecting people with diabetes. While sugar can definitely spike glucose levels, carbs can do the same, often without people realizing it. Being someone who eats a lot of rice,...
