2:56 am

I have installed an app on my smartphone and programmed all 6 eating moments and the medication in it, in a way that I never have to take meds along with food... quite the puzzle, lol
2:57 am
sprite
yeah I will. First babble, then figuring out what to cook. Will make a soup and throw a couple of portions into the freezer for after op.
2:59 am
grannyrose
good id4 sprite. start getting some meals ready for yourself post-op.
3:00 am
sprite
yeah we are working on that. Most will be yoghurt etc, but for dinner, I will mostly take soup. Homemade and full of meat and veggies. I don't fancy pureed meat and veggies much.
3:01 am
sprite
oh I know! I'll make soup and an extensive salad today. Tadone!
3:02 am
grannyrose
nice one, sprite.
3:02 am

always a pleasure, and it is smart cooking, because I will have to cut veggies for the soup too. *grin* It so pays to be smart when you want to be lazy.

There is an amazing mini-series on Netflix called "National Parks: America's best Idea." I highly recommend it.
7:15 am
crosshair
Some say the series it too lyrical and reflective, but I loved it
7:17 am
crosshair
Not so much filled with hard facts and data, it is, rather, filled with the history of the people behind the parks, and their emotions, sacrifices and ultimate victories over a government that at the time would have rather used to parks as a mined resource or to construct dams
7:18 am

Darn, I am having readability issues today:)

I don't think 10 politicians on one stage can even be called a debate. It's more of a show-and-tell, 10 minute flash mob. Now, when they make it an enclosed cage death match... that's when things will get interesting.
