, I was eating mixed vegetables and sweet peas, but read an article on starchy vegetables, and how they can be higher in carb scale and calories.

This is somewhat true, but the excess fiber in them negates the effects of carbs. Well assuming you aren’t eating 183647 pounds of root veggies (carrots potatoes beets radishes etc...) So don’t worry too much about bad effects from excess carbs from veggies.

I think the ones you may want to moderate are the ones with the word sweet in them like corn, especially if you have issues controlling sugar. Pumpkins and parsnips also have a GI - glycemic index.  

 

Like Kirsten has said, in most cases though, the fiber in the veg helps to really offset this. If you process these, it reduces the fiber quality and it’s offsetting benefits. So don’t avoid, but moderate consumption, is always a safe bet.

@tracy_j most of the crops grown in San Diego are grown a little north and along the coastline, like in Delmar and Encinitas. I’ll figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions.

After losing the weight that was bugging me, I’m going to keep to the low starchy stuff, thanks for the info tho!

That’s true, I might start mixing it up again once my triglyceride count is back down.  Thanks for your help and suggestions !

Hi everyone,

 

It's been a busy summer for me.  Both Granddaughters spent time with us (separately so that they had 100% of our attention and to give them a break from each other.  Our oldest made Varsity Cheerleader as a sophomore.  She is also on a competitive co-ed cheer team and will be competing at a number of events that could lead to the national championships.  Her younger sister is into dance, and has been doing hip-hop for a few years now and is adding ballet this year.  She will also be trying out for middle school cheer squad when school starts.

 

We bought another sailboat but are having problems with the state getting it registered.  And we've got a line on what could be our third sailboat.  An 18 footer, a 32 footer both sloops and this next one would be a 41 foot ketch.  I am anxious to learn the fate of the 32 foot as it needs work but I don't want to spend time or money on it if I am going to sell it for scrap.  (scrap value is more than I paid for it so no loss)  The smallest one is for sale.  

 

We leave the east coast on Thursday for a week on the west coast.  Going to Portland to see our son and his wife.  And finally we will be spending several days with friends over Labor Day.

 

@Ellora that's a long trip for 5 year olds, England to San Diego.  No wonder they can't figure out why the sun is messed up.  Enjoy them every minute you can.  They don't stay little for long.

 

@Debra Michelle congratulations!

@Debra Michelle I'm kinda surprised your surgery date is so far out.  When my spouse had it the surgery was scheduled within a week.  I know the surgeon moved the R schedule around somewhat to minimize the wait.  But I'm happy to read you are on track.  Sorry about the clutch.  Sounds like the driver is a klutz!

Gee @Willow another boat!  Sounds like fun.  I hope the issue you're having is resolved easily.

 

Cheers! Jani

@Willow, oh ya, it definitely is a long plane ride for the, for sure. I went last year to help with the trip, unfortunately my dad wasn’t doing well enough this year, so I stayed home this time. They finally woke up at 7 instead of 6 am today. The extra hour of sleep sure makes a difference, ?. Congrats on getting another boat, I hope the red tape works out., have fun sailing!

Good morning! Working on my first cup o coffee, and breakfast. I got better sleep, but had some weird dreams, some good some weird, some ok. I had to force myself to wake up after I got tired of the bad dream. 

It supposed to reach 98 degrees outside today around the east county, glad there isn’t ac over here. Apparently it’s foggy where I live on the coast, and it’s supposed to be around 88 degrees there, oh joy...I don’t have ac at my place, but that’s ok, it’s a fair trade off , living so close to SD Bay, and Balboa Park. 

The twins are playing with the legos, peacefully, so that’s a bonus ?. I will be taking them to the indoor mall, then to see Toy Story 4 later, that will be fun ?

Interesting that we're in the midst of August and the temps here are going to be in the mid 70's for rest of week.  Typically it should be high 80's- 90's.  Odd.

 

Have fun at the movie Ellora!

It's a great deal brighter on the East Coast.  Hot, extremely humid forecast, ugh.  This morning is delightfully cool however.

That's wonderful!  I would certainly accept my grandkids if they transitioned.  Hopefully one of them will have the 52 chevy flat bed when i can't drive or i'm gone.

The sun is starting to wake up over here, it's nice and cool, and looks like it's a little foggy near the downtown area. Still quiet tho

Temps have been about normal here for July- Aug. About this time of the month It usually starts cooling ever so slightly. So the kids don't roast when they get back to school. Today it is supposed to be around 80.

 

waiting on my cup of Joe. Had a nice shower earlier. complete shave. put my hair up in a pony tail. Only time it doesn't curl is when I put it up. I know some girls would die to have my naturally curly hair.

Been wearing polish on my fingernails for about a month. Only positive comments from the ladies. A few looks but other wise good. I will be keeping them polished more of the time from now on.

 

Hugs

Just having my usual glance before breakfast. It looks cool out again today. I think we have maybe seen the last of the high heat of the summer. It is getting autumnal now although a while to go yet so there should be other hot days. My fish and chip lunch today so I hope the weather holds for a walk through the woods and fields on the way.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good early morning, I fell asleep early, so of course I woke up super early. I’ve been up since 230am ish, and it’s now 430 am ish. Happy it’s friday. It is movie night at my sons place. We will be watching Avengers: Endgame, on his roof top! He has a cool set up with a portable fire pit, out door couch, and a huge movie screen to watch it on. Fun times!

We've got a hot spell building up.  I'm still cutting firewood and trying to get the barn filled with hay for the winter.  I'll have another cup but will also have my thermos with me with water to help in the heat.

As the days shorten, our two buck goats start to stink.  I rub their heads with rags and then hang them in the barn.  The does love that smell.  In a month when we put the does and bucks together all the females will ovulate at the same time.  Interesting how those hormones work.  Sisterhood.

 

Hugs,

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      The number is relative to method of deliver, the time of the dose, and when the blood is drawn. However, I do want to keep away from DVT and other potential issues. I assume I may be getting backed down from my current dose, but my doc told me to stick with the higher dose, so? I also wonder if this has anything to do the my breast growth and mental changes that have been happening over the past few years, like I have some estrogen sensitivity so a little goes a long way or something? I don't have enough data to postulate, but who knows!   With weekly, subcutaneous, shots you expect to see big swings of serum level estradiol from shot to peak to trough. My doctor is interested in mid-week testing (for E and T levels only), which would be post-peak blood serum levels but they will be higher than trough. Most, if not all, resources I've seen online is to measure at trough (which I might do just to do it next time) along with a SHBG, LH, and other metrics.   This is from transfemscience.org for Estradiol valerate in oil, which is very spiky compared to some other estradiol combinations. It's also for intramuscular, which will have a slower uptake and is usually dosed in higher volume due to the slower absorption rate from muscles. They don't have subcutaneous numbers, which I would expect to see similar spikes but higher levels at similar doses due to the relatively higher absorption rate direct from fat.   Are you doing pills, shots, or patches? And when you do get your levels checked are you getting that done when your levels are lowest or some other time?
