[taxlady]

Thank you TL. I printed out your instructions. I am one happy camper. Watch me do my Happy Dance. Well, almost, Hard to do with a gimpy leg.

All I know is that it worked!!! Yea.

You're welcome.

I do try to eat as often as I can. Even if it is just a bowl of very well overcooked broccoli.

You have to admit that it sounds pretty funny for you to say on the one hand that you control your diabetes with diet, and on the other hand, you barely eat anything. Of course you're not going to raise your blood sugar when you don't eat every day. Especially people who have serious chronic illnesses need to get good nutrition.

Are you at least taking a multivitamin every day? A bottle of Boost or Ensure every day would also be beneficial.

I've been playing with "DeepArt": https://deepart.io/#

Taxy,
That's just beautiful!
Is that a program for the comp. Where do I sign up?
Our son just bought Oculus rift (sp) that thing you wear over your eyes like goggles.It has an awesome art feature. He and Mr. Munky like it for the games. It's great for O/T.

I love artsy stuff of all kinds. You should see my hang out art center around my computer. It looks cluttered to some people. In my world it's a well organized area. If something is needed supplies are in reach.

If I want to paint, sketch,sew, crochet,weave or take a walk on the treadmill (when hell freezes over) I can get to anything.

It's a great spot.Especially when I'm having a bad day and need a break from reality.I can look out my bay window and see my flower garden. It works for me when I'm stuck on designing something. Some might call it a natural color wheel.

I get a B12 every day. And now a Vitamin D. I tried the Ensure once. I couldn't get past the taste or texture. I know it sounds crazy, but it had texture. That stuff was nasty. So I am not willing to try Boost. My BIL had it every day after a daily fight with my sister.

You sign up at https://deepart.io/#, that's for the web version. You pick a style, upload your photo and wait for the email telling you it's ready. The basic version that I use is free.

There are also apps for iPhone and Android.

You're welcome.

I just took a look at Google sheet. I wish I had known about them when I started on this trip of keeping this data sheet. It is so much like Microsoft Excel, that I could have solved all of the problems with using Open Office Calc. When I got the new tower Spike loaded the Open Office program for me. I never even thought to ask if anything else was available. I thought, "oh good, I don't have to purchase a Microsoft Program.

For me, the best thing about Google Sheets is that you can look at them on anyone's computer and you can share with someone else. I can even work on it on my phone and tablet. I keep a migraine log. I have it on my computer in Libre Office, but I upload it to Google Sheets, so it's always available.

When I took a look at Google Sheets, I almost transferred everything over to Google. But since I have the solution to my first problem, I want to work with it and see how it goes for me.

taxy, those are really cool portraits! Just wondering, can you do that with any kind of picture like a nature scene, or just portraits?

BTW, our niece does mosaic work. She owns a shop in Orlando that sells supplies and organizes teaching clinics. She also shows and sells her creations at art fairs all over FL. If you ever want to dabble in the real thing, I could put you in touch with her.

You can do it with any photos. Some work better than others. Here, have a look at what other people have done. Then go play. It doesn't take long to get a free account.

Dive you have it at room temperature or cold? Mom used it some after her hip replacement with the extra protein to help accelerate the muscle rebuilding. She liked it best icy cold and drank through a straw.

Good point, it's better cold.

Addie, I know what you mean about the texture of Ensure. I don't find that Boost has the same texture. It's more like a thick milkshake. I like the chocolate one best ?

My sister kept a case of it in the fridge. And she wondered why her husband fought with her every day to drink it down.

I finally got to an appointment with the specialist. I like him. A doctor that listens. But I will never make another appointment for 8:30 again.

I go back in a month and have to schedule blood work about two or three days before he sees me again. I don't mind the blood work. Needles have never bothered. Stick me all you want. Got some student nurses that need to learn how to give a shot to a patient? I would let them practice on me. But don't give me any liquid medication that I have to drink or taste. My throat closes up, dry heaves until I lose my breath, etc.

Right now I am going to head back to bad. I was not ready for an early morning appointment. Maybe I shouldn't have stay up until 4 a.m.

I am very pleased. I overnight soaked and CP-ed a bunch of small red beans yesterday. After 8 hours, they were still hard as rocks. Oh no! Not another bag of old beans! This bag didn't have an expiration date. Well, I continued to cook them on low, and they got soft! Yay!

I'm smooshing some of them with the boat motor, and will add more seasoning. Saving some for soup, the rest will be refried beans.

What does that have to do with anything?
