Wonton wrappers are wonderful

You married in so you are her step mother! And if you chose you can make them follow your rules! And yes I have walked a mile in those same shoes with a step child! Age doesn't matter you have to lay down rules and stick with them no matter what! If you don't they rule you! In laws are a pain in the ass, but who cares if you have your own rules and stuck with them! And the kids should matter no matter what age! Yes your frustrated understanding! But no matter what your still a parent and grandparent! We don't allow the kids to take cloths or expensive toys to the other parents house! There is just rules they know they have to follow! Sorry if this offends you, but you get what you put effort into it! I understand you reach out, but you haven't connected! Sometimes it takes a thousand ways to connect and you just have to keep trying! As for house rules if they won't abide then they can't come over till they will, that's consequences for there actions! And until they take you serious then that's what you have to do! But why make your life hell! Sometimes tough love is hard!

Not to offend you! But where's your back bone! That 15 year old had no real guide, no real mom around, and when you married she was looking for it! Kids do things like that, but as parents we are responsible to say no it's not in the best interest of the Child! As for your Grandchild, set rules and boundaries explain to your husband that If the child wants to be at your house there is a set of expectations that need to be addressed! If that means writing the rules and posting them in your house then that's what you have to do! Just because your in laws don't have expectations and rules doesn't mean you shouldn't! As for presents, just because you don't see the kids using them or liking them doesn't mean you quit the effort! You don't treat children that way! You have to put in effort to find the things they like! Ask the kiddo to make a list of gift ideas during the holidays and birthdays! Sometimes kids get so much crap they forget what they have or it just is something that really isn't what they are interested in! I am a single mom also! I am very independent and every kid that comes in my house knows I have expectations on behavior and that there is house rules and if they can't do the rules then they probably shouldn't come over! Don't get me wrong my daughter has her moments but she also knows there is consequences for those actions!

Take a cab! It's not that much! Set your self up for good outcome!

Yummo

I've been camping now several times! And had no problems! If your hiking just remember to drink lots of water and take it slow! As for fishing I wouldn't until your 6 weeks, just because of the pulling and weight on the line! Other then that have fun, kick back and enjoy! New life journey, explore and be happy!

Right now my sleeve does not like Steak! But hopefully it will later down the road

The more you walk the better it will be!

Wildflower try liquid citrate magnesium! Nasty tasting but if any left it will get rid of it! It's cheap too!

I was sleeve may 24th and this is the first time since surgery to have this problem! It's been 5 days, tomorrow to the store to get something, collace hasn't done a thing

From what my doctor told me that if I start bruising easily then I needed to get some blood work done, because I could be vitamin deficient! So I would start there! Iron deficient is a classic for bruising!

Reflux! You need to get on a acid blocker! If your taking one then you either need a stronger one or another does

I was sleeved May 24th and I am now down to 199 last time I stepped on the scale! It's a journey that takes a lot of hard work, and a choice to use your tool right! And I love my sleeve! You will do great!

Sounds good

MrzSongBird, thank you! I have been trying and after you mentioned how I was able to do it from my phone! Once you get to your profile touch where the pic should be and it will pop up from camera or library

Welcome

Made my mini goal this morning! Today I am 199 pounds! Woo hoo! Next mini goal 170 pounds!

It's been years! I since 2002 I have dropped weight and regained weight and more! So through all the diets I can't even remember when I was under 200! I'm so thrilled!

Thank you for the kind words! I was super excited to see that number this morning!

A sign of inadequate Protein is hair Loss! But Biotin and Silica combined does help with hair loss, plus Nixon Shampoo and Conditioner helps

@SouthernDonna45, cut out your sugary drinks, use crystal light or zero calorie flavored water! if your having trouble eating due to dental go back to a Partial liquid diet/mushy diet, protein drinks, oatmeal, cream of wheat, scrambled eggs, Sf jello, SF pudding, soups!

I just made this nummy Tuna Melt! I cooked a wonton wrapper! Cooked Tuna on a bed of Lemons, lemons on top! Once cooked I took it light Mayo, mustard, hot sauce, pickles, scallions, onion, mix all together, put some in cooked wonton wrapper, put a pinch of low fat cheese on top melt it! And Enjoy!

Has any one had joint pain in arms since surgery! This is the second time in my left arm, and it keeps me from sleeping

So do you cook the wonton wrapper first or just throw it all in the oven to bake together?

Mmmm sounds good!
