Hoarders never gives me that boost to be productive. I used to get it from these ladies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-37FDFcw74 / But not so much anymore. I need a new motivating show.

I guess I don't understand the objective. I know how to move the cubes...but I don't understand what I'm supposed to achieve.

Encouraging words, Fidgie, Thanks. And I won't say I haven't garnered a helpful hint or two here. I did speak to my doctor briefly about it who said he would refer me to a learning specialist. ...

I actually don't understand the test.

I grew up Catholic. When my father died we were besieged (in a good way) with food. No one wants to cook when they are grieving.

A relief to hear you say it, Jilly. I cannot figure out the prices at all. In fact there is no way I could find any kind of chicken here for .69 a pound.

Well, I don't know much about her. She just works with me. I know nothing about her personally. That's why it's such a generic question. I'm heading to the pharmacy tomorrow, so I will grab something...

I want to give a frugal gift to a co worker/not a friend. Of course, candy, flowers, coffee mug or coffee card. But I always feel lame about it and then, last minute gifts leave me struggling. I...

A lentil loaf or a potato topper sounds doable. I don't mind loaves and burgers from pulses. I'm probably the only one who does. If I lived in the war years, what would I have created from it? ...

I think a lot of my trouble comes from the fact that a tremendous amount of the work I do is generated spontaneously or just in the moment or that day. There are have to's that have to happen at...

I learned to make tickler files back when I went to secretarial school. I find I never actually get around to 'doing' it. To making all the notes and then filing them. Filing. That's the thing. AND...

Did you ever come to a resolution? I was looking at plantains today and wondering if you mean leaves in a rosette growing habit?

I'm thinking of the war years when it was illegal to waste food.

That feels very liberating. It's getting old.

Do you think it would blend with chili?

I love English cooking forums. But it would be nice if we could talk directly to each other. Are there active sites like that?

Ham or bacon. Sauteed onions. Anything else is fine, veggies, carrots, zukes, peas, beans and so on, but when that starts happening it's not mac and cheese anymore. It's a cheesey pasta veggie...

I'm not trying to be proactive and not waste food. I like to make homemade soups. I make them and eat them. Not much of a lentil soup eater though. But in a blaze of positive energy I made a pot. ...

I'm pretty sure the last thing I looked up in my cookbooks was a pie crust. Pretty much now, I use the internet to look up recipes. I probably have about 15 cookbooks. At least 10 are pre 1955. I...

I like that folder system. It's just what I need. Something I can see, not disappear into a box. If I can't see it, I forget it entirely Well, I forget where it is at least. Unfortunately I don't...

It's actually pseudo painful. I mean it doesn't hurt physically, but it hurts psychologically, the same was sorrow or anxiety does.

Fidgie I'm going to check out your link, and thank you. I just want to add that I made a "To be filed" folder and "To Do" folder and promptly lost them.:laff::laff:

Sometimes having that "pop-psych" label can be a relief. Because it's beyond distracted. It's upsetting, disconcerting and confusing. It feels awful when I'm really struggling with unfocused moments...

You are right. And it all sounds good. Till I try and create a stick by a system. It's very hard to find a way to organize that works. I watch what other teachers do. They seem to have systems that...

Fidgie it's a bit of both. Noise and stimulation at work are a huge contributor. I work in a shared office and it gets quite noisy. When this happens I put ear phones in and listen to meditation or...
