there are things I like and things I don't like. I can't stand the weather at all. I'm originally from southern california. This humidity is brutal. The winters are just hell. Well the 2019-2020 winter was actually decent. but in the past 2 winters, I have seen more snow in one day than I have in my entire life time We have a key mail box across the street. I went outside just to get the mail and I'm sweating like Kirk Cameron at a lgbt pride event. I'm from central California. My daughter lives in Florida. I want to move there but the humidity?, Our key mailbox was broken into down the street. Problems everywhere! well it is Crazy-ass California. lol. As badly as i want to live out there again, I don't think I can.

Does your name come from your love of vodka? lol No. I jacked it from a friend on facebook, who has a love for vodka. I changed it on the original imdb when I was drunk on vodka in 2014, and i just kept it.

How long... what temp ? Would be good with the green beans just about ready in the garden ! Can't recall, but basically just cook it normally. Maybe 8 minutes at 375. I cut the slices in half first and did 4 halves at a time. Could have used the basket and done it all on 2 levels. I read another method that involves partially freezing the bacon first to cut first, but that seems like overwork. Thanks ... may be a way to pre-cook and save the bacon that tends to not get used up before it goes bad.

I was past the date and didn't think it was too healthy to just eat it all. When I was a kid, all I wanted was bacon. I'd eat a half pound. Mom would ask, "What do want with it?" Just more bacon. When I got to college, a buddy's mind was totally blown, as he thought Jews didn't eat bacon. I went back for 7 BLTs (well, just bacon and lettuce, then, and no mayo) in the cafeteria once.

I'll relate this story since you once lived in the San Francisco bay area. Lol At UCBerkeley my roommate was Jewish. So was my boyfriend. They'd watch me eat bacon as though I were a freak eating a live animal. Guess there are two sides to that.lol I think bacon can be frozen. A 12 oz package between my husband and I is doable.

If we hiked 15 miles and there was food at the end, we weren't allowed to buy it. That's where I was during the moon landing. No radios or TV, either.

I haven't had a chance to buy any because of stupid people Lol Why stupid people vodkie? I don't drive. my room-mates have to take me shopping. Their son in law's car is being inspected by pep boys. He was supposed to have his car Saturday but Pep boys didn't get around to inspecting it before they closed. I was supposed to get groceries yesterday. But his dumb ass didn't bother to double check when they closed. he thought they closed at 8 but they close at 7. they didn't even think about double checking until they were ready to take off at 7. So since one of my roomates is working from home and the other can get a ride from a co-worker, they loaned him their car to go to work today

Lol Why don't you drive? Here in central California that would be rare.

Why don't you drive? Here in central California that would be rare. adhd is too extreme. Plus I'm on ssdi. Even If I wanted to, Can't afford it. and I refuse to take medication for it. It's done nothing but ruin my life. and i'll answer why to avoid a follow up question. in 2003 at age 20, I was past 450 pounds because the one I was switched to at 13 had a side effect of hunger increase/weight gain. I went from 107 at 13.5 in June 95 to like 480-500 in September 2003. I was on ritalin for my adhd from 5 til 13.5. I had a hernia in 7th and I had it surgically repaired, but the post surgery meds and Ritalin equaled death, So I got switched to something else that increased my hunger. I went to visit my sister 2 states north in Tacoma, Washington for 2 months. She had control over my food choices and basically forced me into a low carb diet which started the weight loss. I went from 8xl to either 4 or 3 by the time i left in November. I got down to 208 pounds and size 36 in pants in January 2009 but i was unable to keep what I had lost off. I'm closer to 300 now. On the plus side, I'm not as out of shape as I was when I was 300 as a teen and It took 11 years to gain 80 pounds rather than 11 months like in high school on medication. That last med I was on was giving me stupid thoughts. I only remember two of them directly. But I do remember having similar thoughts. I can't remember exactly. the 2 I directly remember 1. I remember filing out a form for Safeway's club card and when the form asked for a name, I thought to myself in my head "only girls have names". I needed another card in order to cheat Vons (Safeway in southern California) out of their sales on soda 2. I remember watching brother eat something then watching a guy eat something on the tv and being really freaked out seeing a man eat food. I then tried to starve myself for a week convinced that only women were supposed to eat. But i would just have these thoughts where I was convinced something that everyone does (eat, sleep, poop, etc) were only supposed to be done by female. and I Know the medication caused those thoughts because i stopped having them when I stopped taking them.

HUGS. You are so young to have all these medical problems. I'm so sorry. Life isn't always fair. I have a daughter with severe cerebral palsy. I know how medical issues change one's life.

All my best! Keep positive thanks. i'm only 37. my best friend has it way worse than I ever will. She has an esophagus issue where she can not swallow certain things. She literally can not eat salad. If you compare eating a salad to eating cereal, Cereal's going to get extremely mushy after you chew it. Salad does not, therefore, it'll get caught in her throat and she will choke, possibly to death. if things aren't slippery or mushy, they get caught. She also has a soy protein intolerance. too many things use soy fillers. the biggest 2 issues of all, she has solar urticaria (Allergy to the sun's uv-rays and fluorescent lighting) and she's allergic to aloe and chlorine. since Chlorine is in the tap water, we risk accidentally killing her just by hand washing dishes in her presence or by her washing her hands if our hand soaps have aloe. Even the smallest amount causes severe reactions

Your poor friend! Reminds me of people with severe peanut allergies. One mistake and they die! Your in California? I am near Modesto Wasyears ago. I grew up in Southern California. I lived in west covina, Victorville, 29 palms and last in Yucca valley until the last day of 2006. my mom died 10-26-2006 of a heart attack in her sleep. We stayed in the house until Dec. 31st. My sister, well she was on meth until a year and a half ago when she got caught by an under cover cop. the drugs told her to move to The greater seattle area so she could be in the next big grunge band. So I moved up there to be closer to her after my mom died. but that basically ruined her. I mentioned i was on SSDI. My sister was my representative payee until april 2017. She was stealing my money to supply her drug habit. Keyword was. luckily she used Facebook messenger over texts so I got her fired after i showed the people at the social security office her excuses on my phone as to why I only had 48 cents for the entire month of april 2017. The 48 cents was left over from march. And they decided i should receive the money myself. I am more than capable. it's my mom that had doubts which led her to be the original payee. I moved out to Pennsylvania, 40 miles outside of Philly august 2017 when my lease for my apartment was up. my friend asked me to so her parents wouldn't have to face foreclosure. her mom is having trouble getting higher paying work because of her age. and her dad also has ADHD, didn't get diagnosed until he was in his 30s in the 80s, so he was a college drop out. he couldn't focus and couldn't figure out why. She had to beg her mom to swallow her pride. I went back out to california last summer. and her mom picked me up from an airport 90 miles away in Newark, New Jersey and she refused to allow me to pay for gas. she has way too much pride to take someone else's money even though she needs it. my Friend's parents take me grocery shopping but it would be easier to get Rosie O'Donnell to sleep with me than it would be it get them to take gas money from me.
