It's Been a While Since I Posted Something....So....

Something

Now, THAT'S a Fish!

I wonder if he was gluten free? Nice catch, Grandpa.

Happy Fishing!

BEWARE!

It's getting close to Spring, which for some of us means one thing: the sniffling, sneazing ALLERGIES!

But think twice before taking that antihistimine pill if you have a severe LACTOSE allergy. That pill may contain something known as lactose monohydrate.

That ingredient, my friend, is pure lactose from dairy. And you may find that each tablet can contain up to 81 mgs. of lactose!

Lactose monohydrate is found in certain drugs like Claritin, Zyrtec and Ambien.

So before you purchase any drug from the pharmacy, ask for a list of ingredients. I am now also going to check all of my over the counter drugs as well for this ingredient.

I find it amazing that the FDA will require all FOOD labels to show any allergens, yet when it comes to drugs, it is not necessary.

I plan to write to these companies to plead with them to change their inactive ingredients.

In the meantime, I need to research what medications I CAN take!


Happy Medication Hunting!

Something Fishy....

Well, I am one of 'those' people who absolutely love fish sticks. When I found these, I was a bit taken back by the price, but decided to buy them anyway.

One bite and....oh, my. True fish stick heaven. These babies are good!

Happy Feeling Like a Kid Again!

It's All A Matter Of Perspective, Really....

Be Happy For Your Job! It Could Always Be Worse!

Yes....You CAN Live Again!

The comedian Brian Regan once had a bit about his doctor telling him to 'lay off dairy'. To Brian, the doctor could well have said, "No more happiness."

To which, I say, "No kidding!"

But thanks to the folks at the above places, we CAN have happiness when the doctor says, "No more dairy."

I think I'd like to kiss these people....

Be Dairy Free....With Happiness!

It's A Family Thing....

No 'food allergy' posts today....

Just some assorted pics I thought would be fun for viewing...

The above pics are my Mom & Dad, back in 'The Day'...

This is me with my favorite person in the world.

My boys (middle and right) dressing up for church youth group 'Nerd Night'.


My three lovely daughters at the beginning of our latest snow fall.




The guy on the right is my uncle. The guy on the left? Um, not a criminal, of course!



Here is my uncle once again....a more recent photo....and, no - he's not shooting criminals.

This is my sister in law, Kristi. Don't let her size fool you.

You wouldn't want to break into her home.

This pic from a little while ago is of my brother and me.

Behind us you will see my Dad's beloved GTO.

Above is my beloved sister in law again with my brother, Don.Our family crest contains the image of a wild boar....the Scottish have a way of making statements, no? This was their Christmas card this year. Creative, ya think?

Happy New Year!
