We literally grow them here. One of our garden plots has currants, gooseberries, red and yellow raspberries, and a few blueberries. Wife likes red currants in her pancakes.

Apparently the red and white currants are not the same as the black currants in terms of carrying the pine rust fungus.

I'm curious what black currants taste like. Apparently it's more common in GB, etc.

Our UK folks should know!

I stopped trying to catch up. One just jumps in and becomes assimilated into the discussion. I smile and nod blankly until the room stops spinning.

Spinning room is a symptom of something else, Q. Let me help you to a chair.

 

[Lilianna23]

Wow

My phone has a 100X zoom! I don't use a tripod, these are all hand held.

 

[Lilianna23]

Love this soooooo much!

Thank you, DH!

 

[Lilianna23]

And yes I will be talking about how I got mooned today

Make sure you say it was a FULL moon from a girl!

 

[Lilianna23]

I am just a plain old er nurse... not fancy in the slightest

Not so! You're an ER nurse! Always the most fierce! ️

I lost the 2 lbs i gained!!

Down 74 lbs

I want to get to 100.....

I feel ashamed about talking about totals....

Please don't ever feel ashamed. Long-term weight loss is not a smooth curve. There will always be times when a few pounds go back on, when you over eat at times of stress etc. But those small increases serve as an incentive to get back on track. Try setting smaller goals, maybe 3 pounds and then give yourself a treat. Whatever works for you. But know that you can always talk about it here.

This was standard from my days when all our friends were getting married.

Back in the day, the 90s , they haf those little disposable cameras on each of the tables at the wedding. There was always at least one picture of the moon.

It was always the best when the parents or in-laws developed the film!

We had disposable cameras on the tables for our wedding. I don't remember seeing any moon pics, tho.

I prepped for a meeting only for noone to call on me to present

Don't you just hate wasting your time like that?

I'm now suffering from a case of "food envy!"

As far as I know, which is not very far, not all currants are the same. Some currants (black, red and white) are part of the same family as the gooseberry. Currants as are popular in the UK, especially in fruit scones, are a dried grape, similar to raisins and sultanas.
In the UK, currants would refer to the dried grapes whereas blackcurrants (all one word) would refer to the gooseberry type. I think!!!

Good morning hot drink hotties. Have a top Tuesday.

Blackcurrants are delicious.

 

[Lilianna23]

I have a couple of nurse memes. But I don't dare put them on this thread. Someone might look me up and hang me just to get rid of them.

Do you feel lucky? Huh?

Post some!

 

[Lilianna23]

Wow, six pages to catch up on from last night. I'll get to it.

Woke up with a sore throat. Felt it coming on yesterday. Hot coffee felt good.

Slept in and Mrs. Mitt did morning chores bless her. She even baked muffins so I don't have to make breakfast for my mom this morning.

Getting in the shower so I can be germ free for mom today. We might have a visit today from home care to get us started with them. I hope so.

Awww! Mrs. M is a gem! Did you get your phone health care visit today? How was it?

 

[Lilianna23]

People are strange.

Lady calls,

' so I'm scheduled tomorrow for a consult about a serious issue but I need to reschedule because my grandson is going to a birthday party at the trampoline park and I need to be there.". . >blink< >blink<

Did you tell her to alert EMS so they could stand by at the trampoline park?

 

[Lilianna23]

This bug hit me harder than I thought. I was under the weather for three days, then spent Saturday and Sunday making up for everything I missed. Thanks for asking

There are serious viruses going around this year. How are you feeling now?

 

[Lilianna23]

Very serious indeed.

We need a SMDH emoji!

 

[Lilianna23]

You mean you played with a nurse once

B-B-B-BINGO!

[Lilianna23]

Thanks Jessi!
After 24 hours, I ate and slept... and woke up without a headache!

That's what we like to hear!

 

[Lilianna23]

Shame Free Zone
There's a receptacle just inside the cafe door.
Goals are good.
Numbers help to quantify.
74 is vastly greater than 26.
Celebrate the 74 while putting the 26 on notice. You're coming for the 26 next.
You got this, girl!
Congratulations!!! Marvelous achievement so far on this journey.
I'm so proud of you... and happy for you!a

I love how you put this, Likes! We're all cheerleaders for Miss K! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

LMAO!
I SOOOO wish this place was my full time job!

It feels like it's mine!

 

[Lilianna23]

No Ma'am, I will be by Thursday... Wednesday if I'm really lucky.
I miss Her so much I can't stand it!
