i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
I know today is the day you see the specialist - I hope his eyesight is okay
Also - I hope this is the person who can get through to him that this is not a healthy way to live - regardless of how WH thinks he is better and more special than anyone else because he does all of this arthro-exercise and ED - it's scary
Also - I hope that the WH who comes out of all of this is the guy you married - after all the workaholism and arthroexian I hope he finds his life a good place and a good way to be
I am sure you have thought of this - wow - am I proud of you for living with all of this and staying so strong - not everyone could or would - I am not sure that I could
I don't know what you will do about all that food - possibly with a number of people in the house you can recycle it for a few days - but I personally don't like left overs - so I am wondering what you will do with all of it - I am wondering what it is
Thinking of you - as I always do

Thank you for your supportive thoughts and words @Decadian ❤️
My mothher came through war rationing and left me skills in turning leftovers from one meal into the scaffolding for another .... so left-over bacon and eggs gain vegies as room-mates and become savoury rice the next day ....
You would also be truly amazed to learn what can be thrown into muffin batter ❣. Bacon, eggs and corn muffins, with a pinch or two of Marjoram .... yum 😊 !
Naturally, my kids are now highly suspicious of muffins and creamed soups .... lol ....
Trouble is, that once he's cooking up (an emotional) storm, WH doesn't stop at one meal .... the mega-meals keep coming .... like the magic cooking pot .... and it becomes an exercise in resources management .... especially with the freezers full of the suitcasesful of food he brings back for himself (the regimen) from the eastern states on his trios over there ....
And some people don't have enough food .... !!
I try to give some away to other families, but I have to be careful about it.
