Hi Hap,

->  hn> Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your

-> I've seen that line before. I've lived that line before. (G)

 hn> Amen!

And we're dealing with a melt down right now. Typical day.

->  hn> That's the Atkins plan...the Southbeach is
->  hn> more good carb/bad carb oriented.
->  hn> The first phase is the most restrictive.

-> OK, I genreally try to be reasonable on everything instead of trying to
-> limit any one category. We did get a cook book some years ago that used
-> the Glycimic Index as an indicator if a certain food is good or bad.
-> That's actually the book that our favorite way of fixing salmon or tuna
-> came from.

 hn> The south beach plan is quite reasonable,
 hn> good carbs are complex carbs, high fiber carbs

 hn> refined white flour, sugar, and such.

You should know by now what we keep in the pantry. We do have some sugar
but it's the turbinado/raw variety. No white or unbleached flour, white
sugar, lard, white rice and other stuff of that ilk. With summer coming
on, our fresh fruit/vegetable consumption will increase. We did get a
sample SB cook book (paperback, hoping to entice us into buying the big
one) a while ago. I'll have to take a look at it again when I get back
to WF/NC.

-> Your choice, just hope that a diagnosis can be found soon for your sake.
-> It's the same with the foot I brok in HI; it's healed according to

 hn> Yes, I did, and it expires at the end of this month.

Some states give you two temps, then either nothing or the permanent.
don't know about yours. NC gives 2 if you want so we keep one in the
car, one in my purse for travel instances like now. Rachel is really
liking having that available. (G) With the baby, Sarah and sometimes
Robert, it is a help.

Actually, from what I've seen, a lot of stores are increasing their
selection. I guess customer demand is driving it. Even ones like Food
Lion, a name you should know from SC, has a fair selection of basics.
