Tabaluga's 2.0

oh, I forgot cherries . @GezzaP I dont usually get them. got small bag of pork crackling and some nuts, think go back to shop tomorrow. they said re-stocked around lunchtime (and specials good for 2 weeks over holidays lol. they had jars of fruit for $3, best ones gone.not a fan of two fruits; reminds me of the Army.

I eat anything and everything . prob biggest weakness is pizza, but limited access here ok and soft drinks not to mention alcohol

I got away with it for decades, was never slim, but been stacking it last 7 years now and cant control it. but could get run over by a car tomorrow so not going on gruel yet

@GezzaP I hope you are well just back from a walk after seeing GP was able to get an appointment straight away to check my burn. She was happy for me to come back in 3 days to assess it again. What is paw paw ointment? I have never heard of that before regarding burns. I have a first aid kit and could add it to my stash of emergency supplies. I bought some hospital grade Stop Blood its called last year and it came in handy I was able to use that in an 10cm wound. It stopped the bl33ding. If I didn't have it I would have been in trouble. I am into preparedness like Americans and try and stock up on emergency items in case. Australia has changed its no longer a quiet safe bastion floating in the Pacific

I believe you can get paw paw cream in the chemist @SmilingGecko . It’s fantastic on burns and mosquito bites. It’s natural from the tropical fruit paw paw.

Oh have to go to shop tomorrow @TAB . It’ll be busy. I need to get a drink for Xmas day. I will drink alone. My helper can drive me to get that I hope if not I can get it at my local shops so don’t have to drive far just around the corner. I love cherries. I suffer from menopause belly that I can’t get rid of no matter what exercise I do or how little I eat. My mum was obese when she passed so I guess BD wasn’t the only thing I inherited from her. I am within my BMI but my belly is too big. Puss appeared must have been asleep on my bed. I just let her out for a little while. She asked for food - I gave her some she had a nibble then wanted to be let out. Hope Xmas is ok for you.

yeah, genes @GezzaP mum went from pre-diabetic to type 1 on insulin she lost a lot of weight last few years before died. prob limited food options at retirement home

her brother got diabetes as well, ok both when in 70s he and the other sister were both alcoholics *thxs guys* aesophagal issues got him in the end.(drinking) he was funny and wonderful to be around at dads funeral . he always was nice guy, but he was pretty out to it on meds in hindsight

thanks re christmas , trying to shake off negativity. gets harder every year.

Hope your day goes okay

I just saw an Aussie brand paw paw ointment on the internet @GezzaP Its made by a family business that has been going 100 years strong! I read that it can stop infection as the paw paw has compounds in it that prevent this from developing. I checked out Amazon and can have it delivered tomorrow. There are burn pharmaceutical creams that cost a mint and have side effects. Something like $50/tube not OTC and you are advised to throw it out after single use. It takes 3 days for infection to take hold. I will use the paw paw in the interim maybe I will be lucky and dont require creams and antibiotics from the doctor. But I still have an appt booked in for Saturday so we shall see. Thankyou for sharing, it was an excellent suggestion. I have one tube for my handbag and another for my first aid kit. Delivery tomorrow. Bravo!
