Terry that salad sounds delish! Does the cucumber let off alot of Water? I've found that when I make sliced cucumber salad I always end up with soggy cucumbers. What am I doing wrong??

I am so exhausted today. We definetly overdid it last night. I got off of work late then ran home to get ready for dinner. We had a nice leisurely dinner then decided to walk over three blocks to a club and have a drink. We were only gonna stay for a little while but the music was good so we had fun dancing and it was 1am before we even realized it. Didn't go to bed till past two...I barely made it in to work this morning on time...

I'm gonna get home tonight and just crash. I have a busy weekend ahead too.... blah... I wanted to stay in my jammies all weekend. That aint happening...

Luckily his baby acne waited 2 days after these photos.. He is broken out like a teenager, it's crazy. I never had acne, so everyone keeps asking where he gets it.. hah, but apparently it has nothing to do with that, it's a surge of leftover hormones from me that cause it but suppose to go away in a couple weeks to a couple months. It looks painful, his cheeks are hard from all the acne.. pauvre bebe.

I don't know about cucumbers, but it works with eggplant so it should be the same..

Cut up the cucumber, douse them with salt and cover with a paper towel.. let it sit for 30m-1h. The salt soaks up the moisture, then dust the salt off before using in the salad.< /p>

Movie was great, we really enjoyed it. Came home and had no internet so I decided to go ahead and get the carpets cleaned. I started doing that and the skies got all dark. Just north of us is getting hit bad. Hope Tracy is ok.

Laura, I love the pics.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
