Hi Sean,
RH> Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I'm not going to speculate but hopefully it's
RH> something that has already cleared up or is easily treatable.
SD> It can be anything from leaky gut to cancer, honestly.
Quite a range of possibilities but hopefully it's something minor.
RH> I got all of mine thru Walgreens. Actually bought about 3 pairs but
RH> ended up wearing one pair 99% of the time.
SD> I have glasses scattered everywhere, even in the bathroom. <G>
Since I wore the same pair almost everywhere, I carried them around, in
a case if they were going into my purse. I did have an extra pair on my
nightstand for bedroom use--checking care tags on clothes and things
like that. Had thought about keeping a pair in the kitchen and sewing
rooms but realised I was carrying the one pair just about everywhere so
never bothered to do so. They were most handy in the kitchen and living
room (on the computer), also the sewing room.
RH> I'm trying to cut my carbs somewhat, not as severely as when I was
RH> first diagnosed. Some days are better than others, planning pasta
and RH> salad for supper tonight so will go heavier on the salad than
the RH> pasta.
SD> I'm cutting out bread, pasta, anything with grains since grains cause
SD> inflammation. At least for now. The biggest issue is rebuilding my
SD> gut biome after unnecessary antibiotic treatment destroyed it all.
What about yogurt with active cultures--would that help? We ended up
doing farmer's style chicken the other night, a riff on something we'd
had in Germany. Had the pasta last night without the salad but I went
easy on my serving.
RH> Sounds good. I used to make a version of chili that was a hybrid of
RH> what both of us grew up on but some years ago found a basic meat,
RH> peppers, onions and tomato recipe. I base my chili on that, using a
RH> variety of peppers, both fresh and powdered.
SD> My chili is a shortcut: cook a pound of ground beef; add a can of
SD> kidney beans, a can of tomato sauce, a package of chili seasoning, a
SD> little extra cumin in a pan; simmer for 10 minutes and et voila!
SD> dinner is served.
Cooking for one--very understandable. Even when Steve was gone for
extended TDY's in the Army, I still had to cook for the girls as well as
myself. Did do a few quick and easy things like hot dog stew (can of
veggie soup and cut up hot dogs to taste) but most often it was same as
when he was home. He took cooking short cuts if he was TDY and had to do
his own meals but since he didn't usually have much of a kitchen, it was
more practical for him to do so.
RH> We had the 20' R-Pod but now have the 27' Grey Wolf. No slide out
but RH> it's roomier inside so you don't have a "tight" feel. Kitchen
is nice RH> (a real oven) but lacks the counter space the R-Pod had in
proportion RH> to its size.
SD> I'd love to get a 19' Scamp fifth wheel if I had my druthers but I'd
SD> take a 16' ultralight trailer since it's just me.
We prefer the tow behind over the 5th wheel--the back of the truck is
full of other stuff.
RH> They are handy--our younger daughter gifted my parents with one some
RH> years ago. Mom's decline had begun so she wasn't getting dishes as
RH> clean by hand washing. Even with the dish washer, we had to remind
RH> Mom every time we came up to clean the filters so that old food
RH> wouldn't get on the dishes she was washing. Don't know if my brother
RH> who inherited the house kept the dish washer or not; I've not been up
RH> since my dad's funeral, 7 years ago.
SD> I had a very nice Maytag portable dishwasher but I was forced to leave
SD> it outside after my divorce so it was destroyed. This one I've been
SD> looking at is at Home Depot.
Too bad you couldn't have kept it under some sort of shelter but do
understand the space limitations. I'm glad I have a full sized
dishwasher built in; it gets used several times a week.

... Always butter up the SYSOP, they taste better that way.
