tomato soup and grilled cheese sounds soooo good, will try this day thx 

Danger, Will Robinson! Lol 

Went to the grocery store with the family yesterday, spent $130, but didn't really buy much. Sum total for the food I intend to consume was about $20, the rest, heck I don't even know, even though unbagging and putting up was a team effort.  

I'm so glad I don't have anyone else to feed because I'm just not that strong, at least not yet. I'm thinking tomorrow might make a good fast day so I might go for it. 

@phil, I find it a bit challenging to grocery shop when I fast so much. I don't want fresh produce to rot in the fridge, or leftovers to go bad. What ends up happening is hubby lives on frozen pizza or crockpot chicken. I need to do something so he isn't stuck with the short end of the stick. @Philly, it's not really a matter of strength or self control, TBH. Fasting has been so good for my hunger and satiety hormones. At this point, it's just a matter of telling my conscious mind that it's OK to eat just one sandwich. It's better to not eat bread, beans, potato salad, but I did eat all those things yesterday. Logged it all and was surprised it was 1,000 kcal. Huh? All this is very new to me.  

My wife gets mad if I question what she puts in the buggy. Then there are days like yesterday when she told me before we left the house, "please keep my spending in check". Of course I didn't bother trying to keep her spending in check, have quit trying to do that for a long time. We ended up with a lot of produce, fresh fruit, the majority of which will spoil. Among other items she bought two big bunches of bananas. She did the same thing two weeks ago with the intention of making her "famous" banana pudding. Lilly ate maybe half of one of the bunches of bananas, the rest got throw'd out a couple of days ago, no banana pudding, lucky for me because she said I HAD to have some of it when she bought the first mess of bananas. Ugh. lol In addition to ten avocados I managed to get three bags of HEB brand pork rinds; Hot and Spicy, Chili Lime, and Habanero and I also got a tray of plain cracklins. It's ridiculous how expensive groceries can be.  

Phil, you know what MY RULE is to possible marital bliss? JUST TREAT ME THE WAY I TREAT YOU. NO DOUBLE STANDARDS. OK?????? Never happens. LOL Ex: Side seat driving, 1000 words to every one of mine, CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL. OUR TIVO is full with not one of my shows, games, anything. We have the largest TIVO on earth. This is the small stuff. you don't want to hear more. 

Yeah, that rule will never work, brother. Here's the REAL rule and it only applies to the husband side of the equation- "I will do whatever you want, even if you don't say it, I will read your mind and never be wrong about what you want and if I fail, it's all my fault." You know our good brother Knuckles lives MGTOW, that's too late for us. MADGAF is more our code, and if you can't figure out what that means, ask, I'll tell ya!  

My wife and I are discussing her birthday present as I text. Lol explain to me the abbreviation I'm kind of out of it. 

Married And Don't Give A F 

Ouch! I have friends who are married to people like that, they are wonderful women, but the guys have to walk on eggshells or the entire house will blow up....I have never understood that type of person....I say yes when I mean yes, and no when I mean no and no-one is allowed to buy me gifts, I am the only person who can ever pick out something that I like and I don't wait for special occasions to get what I want, if I can afford it, I buy it, if not I don't. Hubby is the same way, Birthdays and Christmas around this house is easy. We hate drama! 

Lady I understand your situation, my hubby is stuck in the same boat, as I am the primary shopper on the weeks that I am not interested in food he gets the short end, thank god we have chickens and he will eat breakfast for any meal of the day. He is of course still staying away from wheat and sugar but he does eat more often than I do and I won't buy anything but basic stuff that I know will get eaten....otherwise it sits in the refrigerator and rots! Today I went shopping....I spent 67.00... 

Discussions like this remind me why I love being single. LOL  

Deb, hubby and I don't buy gifts for each other, but once in awhile he surprises me with something thoughtful and unexpected. This last thing was a bottle of my favorite cologne, which is discontinued. He found it on EBay. 

Lady that is so sweet. I'm with kes though. SFL! (Single For Life!) God and me are doing just fine, thanks.  

awwww this is cute! 

"Side seat driving" hahaha...  

Well, Phil! We are doing such a great service to our popular readers. They are ALL going to be SINGLE for life. We are SUCH good guys. lol 

"1000 words to every one of mine" he he 

So, we are at the concert, and Sammy Hagar walks in with his wife. Everyone went nuts.
