TWW   sheila I was just notified of another _20 in Monroe, LA to join us tomorrow, oh it is snowing here with 3-4 inches

sheila   TWW great

TWW   sheila everything was sent out by 8am

Sheila   TWW One day soon, we'll discuss details of the great wonderful travels of TWW. Thoughts of these memories to come make me smile, laugh.

TWW  gotta go for now, lunch is over...

Sheila   TWW see ya

sheila   Something caught my attention. Keep reading about food shortages and seeing scarcity and empty grocery store shelves. There was one person's viewpoint that said it was because the garbage processed food would become short in supply because that food would no longer be allowed on our shelves. This would happen over the next couple of years. Interesting viewpoint.

Sheila   Have no proof of this person's viewpoint. Guess they were expressing what they thought or hoped would happen. I don't know - just saying.

Dave   sheila Imagine a World without Dorridos.......

Sheila   Dave okay by me

Dave   sheila Empty grocery shelves????  never considered junk food groceries    talk of our schools eliminating junk food entirely.....

Sheila  Dave even ketchup

Dave   ketchup........mostly sugar....

Sheila   Dave I don't know. Thought it was interesting viewpoint.

Dave   Hate to say it ...Americans fattest folks on the Planet.....

butterfly   Dave I will agree on that

Sheila   Dave yes, would agree. I was one of them. Took me couple of years, lost and maintained 100#. Now going into 2 years to lose and 7 months maintained. Shamed and amazed every day. Happy to have it gone.

Dave   sheila .....and feeling less sickly too.....

butterfly   I just witnessed a food give away, and another one at another church on Wednesday. Maybe no more going to the stores, just go to the churches bc they love to give you food. In KY I experienced that also. I would go around to the churches for my "shy" friends, bring back the food and give it to them. One church gave me 4......four......extra boxes to give away to friends.

Dave   Boxes of Kraft dinner?

butterfly   Sorry Dave, but no, all those boxes were filled with frozen meats, vegetables, breads, eggs, on and on.

Dave   butterfly LOL.....GOOD!!!

butterfly   This one church,here, is waving and telling people to come in and get free food.

butterfly   I told my d-n-l I was going to check it out in a few days. She doesn't need the food, I don't need the food, but there are people I can give it to here.

Sheila   butterfly How do find these churches in your area?

butterfly   There are a lot of churches in this area as it was where I live in KY. They advertise with big signs at their church.

Sheila   butterfly Would get out and drive around if gas prices weren't so high. Maybe I will check FB.

butterfly   In KY friends told me where they have free food, so I would go there for them.

butterfly   Pride.......I asked them why they didn't go and get the food, instead of me. Too many people would know who they were.

Sheila   @Dave not sickly. mostly tired, lethargic, no stamina, endurance. feel better not carrying around almost whole person. As I said, shamed and amazed at same time.

Sheila   butterfly Will check local online newspapers. Maybe there are articles written about food programs.

butterfly  sheila I'm sure they have a food bank where you live also.

Sheila    butterfly Will check it out in the next few days. Veggies, meats are good. Can do like you did and give away the rest of it.

Dave    sheila Get mad when I see the same young Fat kids in the gas stations getting super Big Gulps fer breakfast

Dave   i call that child abuse

Sheila    Dave Not mad for me. Sadness because they don't know what it took me lifetime to decide for myself. Going up and down over the decades. Finally found what works for me. Low carb to no carbs, every day. Just the way I roll now.
