Hello, Good for you! Part of moving your life forward is forgiveness! I would hope if I was in the same situation, my former husband would help me! Joanie

I think you should be commended for it, Chatty. It is not about what the other has done to you in the past but, what you do at the present. And, when you can extend a helping hand to another regardless of what has transpired between the two of you, then what you do is nothing short of admirable. If there is anyone who appears foolish, it would be him. For letting you slip away.

Chatty You did the right thing. If this allowed you to look forward to moving then thats good too. I hope you find a place you will be happy to settle. No one is stuck and you have moveable talent(crochet hooks are not heavy...your penmanship likewise...your love of animals and humans) We are bigger people when we forgive. Mountain ash

Chatty
What a beautiful big heart you have! I don't know the background or circumstances of your situation AND I believe you did exactly what you felt you needed to do and if, in the process, you were able to create a center of peace and forgiveness, how amazing is that!
Congratulations for following your heart and doing what you think best at the time. Lots of love, light and healing to you!

That is a Random Act of Kindness, Chatty! A perfect specimen of "turning the other cheek". Do unto others as you what have them do unto you. The Golden Rule put into place in your "golden years".
I admire you!

How are you doing Chatty? Is he still with you?
You have a good heart for all helpless beings. Someday this will all come back to you; a thousand fold.

Chatty, lots of those places in Ohio too!! We have just about a bit of everything: hot summers, cold winters w/snow, lots of fishing from Lake Erie to the Ohio River and plenty of places in between, gambling boats (if you're near the state lines along Kentucky or Indiana or W. Virginia), plenty of sports if you're in to that (football, baseball, basketball, soccer, college, pro, semi-pro), plenty of great libraries and museums, great and lovely park systems and national forests/wild life sanctuaries, wonderfully hilly landscapes in the south, flat land up and marshes north along the lake, and you can get nearly anywhere in the state in the matter of a couple hours...and lots of friendly folks here. Oh and so many cool festivals and art shows from April through October too!
And I must say, the cost of living here is pretty good...I don't think I could live on what I make elsewhere like the west coast or NY but I live quite comfortably here. Yup, I do like living here LOL.

Chatty, that sounds sort of like the Adkins diet, isn't it?
I do something similar. I buy a lot of boneless chicken breasts, they sell an excellent Amish brand here (no hormones, range fed) that are very lean, plump, and meaty. But I don't roast mine. I brush them with a little salt, pepper, tarragon (or whatever seasoning I like) and olive oil and grill them up on a George Foreman grill. Juicy and so tender when they come off. They make a great starter for a salad, lo-cal sandwich, etc. or are great warm with some veggies. Carbs are a problem for me though...I so love pasta and baked potatoes.

Oh Chatty...lol....I think my question was confusing I know what the Nutri-System is...it's blasted all over the TV. But I wondered if there was a specific diet like Adkins you were following? I'm like you...I really don't like pre-prepared food. I was born, bred, and raised in a family loaded with good cooks. I cook a lot of my own meals from scratch, even as a single. I just prefer the taste of my own cooking/homemade food.

Yes Keyholes, there is a specific plan I follow, its my own. Not a diet either just a sensible way of eating and I am never hungry. I have never lost weight easier or quicker. EXAMPLE: a days eating......
B= Tea w/ sugar free vanilla cream Egg beater omelet with onion, mushroom, green pepper, any veges you have available, add, and some cheese. Slice of toast w/Promise and fresh tomatoes...
(OR) Tea, and oatmeal with 4 kind of fresh berries.
L= Usually tuna salad on heaps of shredded lettuce (OR) bar-b-qued broiled chicken with oriental vegetables oin the side.
D= Ususlly a turkey burger steak broiled with tiny red potatoes, and vegetables like green beans (OR) A savory chicken or vegetable soup with brown rice or rice noodles. Then eat the meat from the soup served with icy cold tomatoes and onions with parsley.
Any meats and vegetables are good.
SNACKS, if you are hungry for something...I keep Yoplait different flavor yogurts, 60 calories...(OR) Jello, sugar free chocolate pudding.
I drink sugaqr free pink lemonade, plain ice water, and diet A$W root beer.
I have lost about 50 pounds since May when the BWS gals were here. It has been pretty easy so far.

Hi Chatty
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! You've lost 50 lbs since May...holy moly, that is awesome! Your daily food sounds yummy....although I can't do the chicken since I'm allergic do it (and its one of the few foods I don't mind being allergic to...never liked it much anyway!).
Keep up the great work...you sound so disciplined (wish it was contagious...grin).
