It sounds like when I was on my flight back to Scotland and the breakfast was orange juice (sugar), a cinnamon bun (sugar) and vanilla yogurt with "blueberries" (sugar). <br /><br />I eagerly await the day there are "anti-sugartarian" options.Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-3927474479056167842014-03-11T12:04:36.118+00:002014-03-11T12:04:36.118+00:00I believe that's more or less what couch-surfi...I believe that's more or less what couch-surfing is, only less temporary. There are websites. Hmmmmm .... *imagines starting a website for this* Unfortunately I am not very savvy about this sort of thing.<br /><br />As far as no-sugar goes, I have not come close to the "I don't even crave it anymore!" stage (does that even happen?! or is it all a lie?) but I have reached the "it takes much less sugar than it used to to make me sick." Unfortunately, if I get my hands on some, it's hard not to go nuts about it and eat just as much as I used to. However, when I was at my parents, around day three I wanted to scream, "Get me a SALAD or something!" The main things to eat are sugary breakfast cereal and sweetened yogurt. No veggies in sight. I can't believe I used to *like* eating like that! But I was very proud of myself that I'd changed my tastes to the point that another bowl of sugary cereal sounded revolting.<br /><br />Hot chocolate and a caramel tartlet? I can't imagine that would ever not be delicious. Probably the fat in each helped cushion your system from the sugar attack.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853868724554947854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-81508295314658772372014-03-11T00:19:40.884+00:002014-03-11T00:19:40.884+00:00I love your matching idea!

I actually came up with it too a few years' ago when I was desperately searching for a live-able place with not-crazy roommates and had a hard time because I realize that my living, cooking, and sleeping habits (not to mention morals) are a bit more elder-ladyish than contemporary ;)<br /><br />In France I believe some universities have a similar social program that matches younger, hard-working and calm students (who cannot afford to pay much) with elderly people living alone. That way, the students get a cheaper place to live and the seniors get help and a young soul in the house. <br /><br />Maybe parishes can offer it, especially in urban areas?PolishTravelerhttp://whereismysuitcase.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-89748934482583378092014-03-10T19:46:20.959+00:002014-03-10T19:46:20.959+00:00The rotary steamer - I was watching old commercial...The rotary steamer - I was watching old commercials and etiquette videos from the 1950s and watched an entire 20 minute video on one of these.

My spirits were very much lifted when I cleaned out my cluttered garage. Next I will tackle the closets! Rosemarynoreply@blogger.com
