Hi Nancy,

 NB> Cooking supplies, clothing, basic necessities... one doesn't have to

His wife is down there with her in-laws and the younger children most of
the time. She comes back to WF every couple of weeks to do more towards
getting ready for the big move at the end of the month. And, yes, he
will most likely stay with friends when he comes up for classes. We
don't have even a sofa big enough for him to crash on, but can feed him.

 NB> years.  RH>> (G) Not quite as obsessive as I was at first but still

 RH> Overall, yes but do allow for some splurges from time to time.

 NB> And you know what constitutes a splurge now, too...  ;)

Yes, anything that has lots of sugar, high carb otherwise (like pasta),
or anything I have in larger amounts than I should. I can have
reasonable amounts of just about anything--operative word there is
"reasonable". IOW, I can't have half a carton of ice cream but can have
half a cup. I can't have a regular size Milky Way bar but I can have a
mini one. I can't have a big plate of pasta but can have an ounce or
two, with something relatively high in protein to counter balance it.
Same as the other things; if I have a lot of carbs, I need a lot of
protein to counter balance them. Sometimes easier said than done.

Catch you later,
