Ans wash everything I had with me. I even scrub my glasses in case I accidently touched them while out in the yard. <br /><br />and I think the best way to kill the vines - is to put 100% round up (concentrate with NO water) on a leaf or two. If you are worried about it touching over things or washing off - put a plastic bag over it (baggie, newspaper sleeve). Obviously have your husband do it. <br /><br />you cannot say something to the surprise food lady? Or put it back on her desk? REALLY? It is no different to me than if she was putting a beer (or whatever your favorite from yore) on your desk. And what would you do then? And honestly, I wouldn't even be very happy with her if she was putting raw fruit and veggies at your desk - because it would not always be what you have planned for yourself nor meal time. She is enabling and she needs to stop.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-76757874438978322722010-05-25T21:40:20.034-07:002010-05-25T21:40:20.034-07:00You did good girl!

Anyhoo-she brought over a large ice cream pie type of dessert and I (unlike you) took a couple of bites before I threw it away. I made sure to dispose of it so she wouldn't see it if she came in my office. It would have crushed her to see it in the trash can!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041064619699436592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-37453764117609775452010-05-25T18:11:38.050-07:002010-05-25T18:11:38.050-07:00Bye, bye cake!

Good job on dumping the cake. Don't you love that "noble" feeling afterwards? I read where you used that word in a comment on someone else's blog a long time ago and I just love it. Technically, we were at "Lake Acworth" today, but yes, it is part of Allatoona. I live about 10-15 mins north of there in Emerson, so not far at all. Personally, I'm a pool girl. I'd much rather be soaking up chlorine than I would dirty lake water, lol. But hey...I don't have a pool and the kiddos wanted to go swimming, and thanks for the lie about me looking good in a bathing suit...I love a good liar ;) BIG HUGS!!!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-78983934989820349262010-05-25T13:58:03.904-07:002010-05-25T13:58:03.904-07:00Good luck with the Prednisone.

"idopathic allergen", if you want the $$$$ term) It works, but one of those you don't want to have to use unless you really need to. <br /><br />I note that I use some of the same thought processes to rationalize what I want, food wise. "One can't hurt, I am just getting the thing for Husband..." Yeah. Sure. :/ <br /><br />Power to you!<br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-59718962987202771012010-05-25T11:50:40.340-07:002010-05-25T11:50:40.340-07:00I am still itching like a mad dog but I am super a...I am still itching like a mad dog but I am super afraid of prednisone.Katie J ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/15076043147542620428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-76655040602856201312010-05-25T11:45:51.414-07:002010-05-25T11:45:51.414-07:00I've been in my head that last couple of days ...I've been in my head that last couple of days too.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346245087447662377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-84139198753053706962010-05-25T11:42:18.421-07:002010-05-25T11:42:18.421-07:00Hi Leslie.

Or if that's TMI then just that you are on a strict diet - even say "for medical reasons" (something no-one can argue with). Whatever way you need to put it so that the potential for being sabotaged (in that particular way) by the environment is removed. She cannot be offended if you let her see that you are refusing the food for genuine reasons. <br /><br />I admire your strength today in throwing it away (I don't think I could!). But I also think you need to give yourself the best possible chance in the future of sticking to your plan. <br /><br />Bearfriend xxFriend of the Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338137165061207438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-61239239510780017122010-05-25T11:35:33.024-07:002010-05-25T11:35:33.024-07:00Leslie, I just love the way you bring up AA saying...Leslie, I just love the way you bring up AA sayings that are so helpful.

I ought to just copy it and post it on my blog as my own. I've been facing that truth--again--myself this week.<br /><br />Great post. I sympathize with the itching. torture. :( Glad you're getting it dealt with. I have an appt with the dermatologist, myself, on Thursday. My GI guy really wants me to get the rash biopsied to confirm the gluten problem. sigh. I glutenized myself a teensy bit this weekend (breading on shrimp) to help fire it up. It fired it up alright. sigh.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172726268459163555.post-17386740747050747272010-05-25T10:51:36.711-07:002010-05-25T10:51:36.711-07:00I hate that you have to get the Prednisone too, bu...I hate that you have to get the Prednisone too, but sometimes it is the only option.
