Dont mix the garlic through the first try. Then you can get a feel for how much you like. Me? I grew up cooking with fresh garlic in almost everything, so I just stir and break out the triscuits.

Try the roasted garlic from Sabra - I love it! LOL Right? Gotta cheat once in a while!

Hence why the silly thing collects dust. For the two of us it just is not worth the cleanup.

I have a food processor i barely use since the kids moved out. I am pretty sure it still works, and has a shreadding blade. Lol the only thing i ever shreadded in it was the potatoes for pancakes.

Look yummy!

I don't post blog entries often. So seldom do I post here I had to look up how. This one is a rant and if you don't feel like listening (reading) I fully understand and suggest you move on. Some of you know that last fall I managed to tear a small part of my hamstring off of the bone at the upper end. To quote a friend, "What a pain in the ass!" Three doctors, months of limited activity, various physical therapy treatments and lots of discomfort later, the rock I sit on has gotten no smaller, no less uncomfortable, and lots more emotionally annoying. Basically the bit of muscle (tendon? ligament?) has come away from the bone. All the PT has strengthened the rest, and the structures surrounding it, but apparently nothing can really be done for the knot formed by the loose bit, and that is what I sit on. At today's appointment (one that has been postponed 6 times over the last 3 months, thank you very much mr. covid 19) I was told that no amount of exercise, stretching, or medication will give me any more improvement, and surgery is not an option. Before being given this little gem of info, Dr Quack had suggested PRP therapy to promote healing during a teleconference check in during the shut down. Being who I am, that kicked off a round of research so I was armed when I actually saw him again today. The issue is a knot of muscle that is no longer attached to the bone. It cannot be surgically reattached, trimmed away or otherwise alleviated. I have made all the progress I can with exercise. Deep tissue massage may help soften it a bit and we are going to give it a shot, but the thought of someone digging their fingers deep into my butt muscles does not sound too promising, or comfortable for that matter. There are few side effects, but a small possibility I could have an allergic reaction to the injection. Yes, to my own serum platelets. My luck? I would be the one in 10,000 who does. I told him to keep his PRP since any healing that it might have aided occurred 10 months ago when I first injured it, and the cost vs probable result was not promising. I could have built a baby in the amount of time I have been trying to get this rock out of my pants! Which brings me to the title question. If there is nothing to be done but treat the symptom and alleviate the pain with otc meds, Why the hell could he not tell me that( or one of the other two docs) back in the fall. Once the surrounding muscles had been built up ( around Christmas) I could have embarked on remedial solutions to allow me to ride again, like a gel seat pad for my saddle. WTF? They knew they could do nothing for it, jerked my chain, charged me large sums of money over and above what my insurance pays, and the only thing I can do is take a Tylenol? I have learned on my own how to sit differently to reduce the discomfort without throwing my back out of alignment. Now to learn to ride again. My horse thinks I don't love him any more because I have not ridden since last September. Anyone with a pet will understand. Bo literally tries to push me to the mounting block outside the barn door any time I am walking him to his field. He is a very smart horse, but that is the subject for another blog

All you really need to do is read, build a support team, and listen.

Daughter, dear.

Something is majorly wrong when I was thinking about turning on the ac and that night pulled a huge quilt over me and turned the heat back on.

Lol I dragged her to a doctor who promptly hospitalized her. That occurred in 1998 or so. She passed back in 2006, and I dont think I have been forgiven yet!

Should they put the names in order!

Says the one who gets to see it first!

Oh that a short grounding. My mother grounded me for life! Even put a stipulation that grounding does not end when she passed. Great chapter.

You can say that again!

Wings has that exact dish for her pup. Not only does the dog pick it up, but dumps it carefully into one pile, then scarfs as usual. She ended up using a 2 litre bottle filled with sand that she glued into that center section to weigh it down. I told her the dang rock would have been easier!

Slow her down by using one of those special dishes, or like us horse peeps do, put a large rock in her dish. Gotta be large enough she can't possibly swallow it, and has to work to get the kibble.

Unfortunately some writers do not want to improve. They post with no outside editorial help at all. They apparently do not realize a writer can, and do, read over th same mistake over and over without catching it, because (s)he get caught in content rather than grammar or spelling. Worse is the author who argues why something is grammatically incorrect. Granted dialogue should remain in character, and a 10 year old should not sound like an ivy league scholar, but the rest of the story should play by the basic rules, and an author who would rather argue than fix it is wasting the editors time.

There is a PSA from a woman who just turned 100. She was born during the Spanish Influenza epidemic. If she has done it once, and feels she can do it again 100 years later, then we can too! Need someone to bitch at and let off steam? My pm is open.

The only problem I see with the story being longer than originally planned is that it takes longer to get to us. A story is as long as a story needs to be. Cut it off too soon and the characters will never let you hear the end of it.

that's okay good news posts bear repeating

Nah, that can wait till what ever story his wedding lands in. Well done!

Wait, they left you twiddling your thumbs for two days and now want you to fix it on your day off??? I do hope they will pay you for the twiddle time and ot for today.

When has that ever stopped you?

Very nice start. Keep going!

I love the idea of Carolina being part of a conspiracy to make Brad happy! You did again ashhole. Super chapter.❤
