Hey Ruth!
->

-> 
-> -> I've seen that line before. I've lived that line before. (G)
-> 
->  hn> Amen!
-> 
-> And we're dealing with a melt down right now. Typical day.
->
I have a feeling you know how to handle
those incidents.
 
-> ->  hn> That's the Atkins plan...the Southbeach is
-> ->  hn> more good carb/bad carb oriented.
-> ->  hn> The first phase is the most restrictive.
-> 
-> -> OK, I genreally try to be reasonable on everything instead of trying to
-> -> limit any one category. We did get a cook book some years ago that 
used
-> -> the Glycimic Index as an indicator if a certain food is good or bad.
-> -> That's actually the book that our favorite way of fixing salmon or tuna
-> -> came from.
-> 
->  hn> The south beach plan is quite reasonable,
->  hn> good carbs are complex carbs, high fiber carbs
->  hn> and such. Bad carbs are those simple carbs,
->  hn> refined white flour, sugar, and such.
-> 
-> You should know by now what we keep in the pantry. We do have some 
sugar
-> but it's the turbinado/raw variety. No white or unbleached flour, white
-> sugar, lard, white rice and other stuff of that ilk. With summer coming
-> on, our fresh fruit/vegetable consumption will increase. We did get a
-> sample SB cook book (paperback, hoping to entice us into buying the big
-> one) a while ago. I'll have to take a look at it again when I get back
-> to WF/NC.
->
We have no white flour, sugar (well I think we 
do have some raw sugar somewhere from
Amanda's last visit), lard or white rice, 
etc. So our larders are pretty similar
with the exception that you have 
bread in yours and we seldom do.
 
-> ->  hn> True, but I'm in no hurry to give them

-> 
-> -> Your choice, just hope that a diagnosis can be found soon for your 
sake.
-> -> It's the same with the foot I brok in HI; it's healed according to
-> -> Z-rays and all but it still gives me a lot of trouble. BTW, did you ever
-> -> get a handicap tag for the car? Saves you a few steps most of the 
time.
-> 
->  hn> Yes, I did, and it expires at the end of this month.
->  hn> Will call the surgeon and see if I can schedule a
->  hn> cortisone shot in the knee to see if it can help

->  hn> tag...but don't know if I'll be approved for it again.
-> 
-> Some states give you two temps, then either nothing or the permanent.
-> don't know about yours. NC gives 2 if you want so we keep one in the
-> car, one in my purse for travel instances like now. Rachel is really
-> liking having that available. (G) With the baby, Sarah and sometimes
-> Robert, it is a help.
->
Here they only give out one..and I have
a card in my wallet that matches the 
placard. If I am asked I have to 
produce the matching card to show
that I am the authorized person
to use the placard. Anne can't use
it and if I switch cars I have to take
the placard with me. 
 
-> ->  hn> meat departments...some things are higher though.

-> ->  hn> I think it will be a place I go to semi regularly, but
-> ->  hn> I'll keep an eye on the things I usually buy for good

-> 
-> -> Sounds like a good game plan for me? How's the organic/natural foods
-> -> selection?
-> 
->  hn> not much different than the regular stores
->  hn> on that issue. If I am looking specifically for
->  hn> something organic/natural I'll go to one of
->  hn> the several good "health food" stores we have
->  hn> in the area.
-> 
-> Actually, from what I've seen, a lot of stores are increasing their
-> selection. I guess customer demand is driving it. Even ones like Food
-> Lion, a name you should know from SC, has a fair selection of basics.
-> 
Many stores have a small selection of "organic"
produce...but it's limited and not always good
quality. Our health food store carries a large
and varied selection of organic produce and
it's all top notch quality as well....and priced
accordingly.
chat with you soon!
