Hi Nancy,

 RH> His wife is down there with her in-laws and the younger children most
 RH> of the time. She comes back to WF every couple of weeks to do more
 RH> towards getting ready for the big move at the end of the month. And,

 NB> Did I misunderstand... do they have kids...?    So... before the final
 NB> move, maybe one last lunch at the Korean place...?

It's a second marriage for her, she has (grown and gone) kids from her
first husband. They had no children of their own. The ones they will be
taking care of are his younger siblings that his dad and step mother
adopted about 5 years ago, well after all their biological kids were out
of the house. We're hoping we can get together one more time but have to
work out logistics as we have to work around various pre scheduled
committments.

 RH> yes, he will most likely stay with friends when he comes up for
 RH> classes. We don't have even a sofa big enough for him to crash on,
 RH> but can feed him.

 NB> Thus sharing the burden among various friends..  :)

Yes, and helping us all keep updated on the situation.


 NB>  RH>> Overall, yes but do allow for some splurges from time to time.
 NB>  NB>> And you know what constitutes a splurge now, too...  ;)

 RH> Yes, anything that has lots of sugar, high carb otherwise (like
 RH> pasta), or anything I have in larger amounts than I should. I can have
 RH> reasonable amounts of just about anything--operative word there is
 RH> "reasonable". IOW, I can't have half a carton of ice cream but can
 RH> have half a cup. I can't have a regular size Milky Way bar but I can
 RH> have a mini one. I can't have a big plate of pasta but can have an
 RH> ounce or two, with something relatively high in protein to counter
 RH> balance it. Same as the other things; if I have a lot of carbs, I need
 RH> a lot of protein to counter balance them. Sometimes easier said than
 RH> done.

 NB> But more likely to be done now, now that you know what and why... :)
 NB> Reasonable was always the operative word, but until one understands
 NB> why it is needful, it's less likely to be truly operative..  ;)

Right, and it's made major changes in not so much what I eat, but how
much I eat of certain things. I'm still eating a lot of what I ate
before but in much better for me amounts.

Catch you later,
