Give us 50 per cent of your" light snow" Ruth, I have tulips breaking ground, bushes flowering out back  and stuff coming out of dormancy such as my peach trees...this shouldn't be going on until March at the earliest. It's an very ligth rain out there that just started this morning. My grandaughter has the flu bug...my cousin has already back east lost his 11 year old daughter....and it ended up in an divorce also. My daughter in-law ran into my brother at Walmart yesterday..he says she's (Dee Dee) has already moved out and he's filing for an divorce come this Monday.  I haven't heard her side of it as yet. Other then she hates him basically. Here I joined the health club and haven't been able to go to it much...but you know...they don't wipe down their machines...or the people don't...before and after using them. So with the flu bug going around I wonder how safe it is to go there...as they have an lot of people..I may end up taking my own handy wipes and wipe them down myself. You never know what people's sweat has in it for germs.

James...whose name are you doing?...genealogy wise.  My last fascinating onewas on the pirates..."Black beard" and "Billy the KIdd" and "John Jacob Astor"..and whose bounty his furn trappers found in an cave and made him an overnight wealthy man...Ok, they said in today's terms "Billionaire". Four generations they say have lost much of it now.

I must go for today...later. I was really anxiety ridden last night. I ate an McDonalds Hot Fudge Sundae at 330 calories...I can do that "occasionally"but I sure never dropped any weight yesterday because of it...so I was out walking this morning before it started the drizzle raining. I'm having addictive "passions" for all the foods I can't eat for some reason...I'm having to work through them right now in releasing them without sucumbing to them. Perhaps John Lawrence's "Meditation" might help me some on it.  But then again, Pillsbury packaged cake mix just came out with "sugar free" chocolate brownies...one can eat them unfrosted if need be...or sprinkled with powdered sugar lightly.  We can buy it here at our Safeway stores. Outta here for now.

Shirley we have a few wild daffodils starting to show already, I noticed them when we were out walking yesterday. They are very early, I hope they're quite hardy, with this awful cold and windy weather.

Good afternoon Pat. I'm glad it's warmer where you are, it's freezing cold and very windy here. There was a bit of snow again earlier. It's a shame you don't see your family very much, ours wouldn't have stayed so long, but they had a pile stuff to sort out with a property they own near here. It's all sorted now, so next time we see them it will be us going to Germany in the summer, apart from Skype that is. The other three all live local so we see them regularly.

Hi..glad the weekend comes to an close today...really bad last night...my blood glucose rose to 237 last night from eating out...it dropped this morning to 160, highest if should be is 120/140.  If you have ever seen Nasa strape people in anti-gravitational machines and whirl them around at high speed to see how many g-forces they can take...well that was my night last night. I felt like I was going to lose my mind from the pressure in my head. I did not lose my headache this morning until I took an Biotin Supplement. I ate what most diets are for most people of about 1500 calories yesterday...plus wen tto the health club last night for one and half hours.  

I found what I was after this morning....An chocolate Kahlua Pie for 90 calories per one 8 slice serving, remains to be seen if I can get all the ingrediants someday to make it.  

I was checking out Henry VIII again this morning having seen an mention of an curse put on the family...some lady by the name of Barton. What I found out was the whole family was zapped for 13 generations...so that is the REAL reason why all the wives and the need for an heir.  Same thing happend to King Phillip by the Templar knights for his persecution of them in 1307..though in his case they left the 13th generation going to Neopolean..so things never got any more peaceful. Really sad what happen to the small kid's through all this also...and few of them really made it in survival...curse ro not curse it looks like. Grits got back from her road trip with the job she has...something else. But anyway, she says she rejoined "ancestry.com" i fI have any look up help needed to give her the word and she's see what she could find. I watched the "Mystery of Oak Island for hours on end last night..as I was up until 3 am wide awake none the less and checked out Kilwinning, Scotland, where they think that Sinclair and some Cisterian monks and templar knights left to come to Oak Island...about 600 people in all. Interesting information of what they have evidence of what he did while over here also...in Novia Scotia and surrounding areas.  Native Americans seemed to like him enough to even have made an feast day after him. But I left them last night with difficulty gettting down the money pit and seeing exactly what it was they found...if much of anything. They now confront 27 feet of murky mud to have to sift through. I could use an warm bath and some more sleep..so talk later on.... cloudy here with an few light showers going through. Trying to get back on the diet today..and the rest of this week also.
