In the Sunday Mail (Adelaide’s Sunday newspaper) By Melissa Leong “I wonder if we’re losing our capability for rational discussion” There’s no question that the world is in the toilet right now. And I mean right at the bottom of the bowl, you know? Sure, as long as there have been people on the planet, we’ve had or issues. But at present it certainly feels as though things have hit a fever pitch that only dogs and bats should be able to hear. As such, I don’t think anyone can be blamed for being a little (or a lot) up in arms, From the atrocities of war and political injustice to social inequality; tragedy and environmental disaster, there’s a lot to be angry, sad and confused about, that’s for sure. I don’t know about you, but every day feels a bit like a powder keg waiting to blow at any given moment. As our patience wears thin on the issues we care about, I’m noticing that a new kind of worrying trend is rising in tandem. For the sake of our conversation, I’m going t...
Poor girl....have a bag of carrot and celery sticks handy...I know it's not the same but it helps a bit.
ReplyDeletePoor hungry girl.... Advocado might help too.
ReplyDeleteWhen i lost my 30 kilos i only snacked on fruit like apples, oranges, pears, kiwi fruit etc but in moderation, give it a try it may help :-).
ReplyDeleteAnd the last of the peaches and nectarines are in the stores still. You are going so well.
ReplyDeleteCarrots and celery are great. As my youngest grandson observed, you have the chew them a long time.
ReplyDeleteLOL, you sound just like me... I'll be in your town next week on the Friday, I promise to feel sorry for you all having to put up with that damnable car racing as I sit there for hours in the traffic jams...
ReplyDeleteDelores; I had these handy, but put them in the spaghetti sauce and forgot to buy more.
ReplyDeleteChristine; I can't yet eat avocado on its own, still getting used to the taste and texture of it.
Windsmoke; I had grapes, watermelon and nectarines, but they're all gone now. I'll be shopping for more tomorrow.
EC; yes, they're in the stores, but not in my fridge...yet
Joanne; carrots are one of the few vegetables that are actually better for you when cooked. Celery is great filled with peanut butter.
Tempo; are you coming just for the races? I'll be sitting in the traffic jams too, but I'll be on buses getting to and from work. Except on the Friday, I don't work Fridays.
No snacking!
ReplyDeleteWaves of admiration from Mpls to you!!

Pearl; apart from odd moments prowling the kitchen it isn't too bad. I'm not hungry, it's the mouth, wanting to be nibbling as it's been doing for the past 8 years.
ReplyDeleteNo River, I'm coming down for a funeral and though I was planning a visit to the markets after your reminder a few weeks ago I now plan to stay well away from the city center now it coincides with that race...
ReplyDelete......it was times like you're experiencing right now that would find me opening up the tin of drinking chocolate and heaping spoonfuls into my mouth.
ReplyDelete..which was OK unless I breathed in instead of swallowed and end up on the floor in a coughing fit!
Kath Lockett; I've been shopping and now have a fridge full of fruit again, but yesterday's heat has left me with a headache that I know from experience can only be fixed by a hot, sweet coffee and some chocolate. I didn't buy chocolate....and it's too hot again today for a hot coffee. I may have to have the coffee anyway then stand under a cool shower.
ReplyDeleteI'm imagining you now, rolling around on the floor coughing and spewing out clouds of drinking chocolate, much like a volcano.
