OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." ~ John F. Kennedy

That is a great pic! I'm still trying to get used to that new uniform. Looks like a Marine to me... (insert curmudgeonly mumble and grumble here, LOL).

It's the Republican way, Inga...nothing has changed...why tell the truth when lying is just so much easier? or the old "if we say it enough it makes it true" crap that Cheney is so fond of doing...liars are liars. Nothing has changed with the koolaid drinkers, don't bother them with facts. It's like that pig...

>>>>>>Uli, Sarah signing in the "Mystery" section of the book store. That's rich. I would think "Fiction" was more fitting. LOL

I was thinking "Horror and Fantasy".

Inga, food can affect inflammation a great deal. Finding out which foods takes patience and monitoring what you eat and when. You can try a food diary ... for me, the reaction is six to ten hours later. I've never had the "official" elimination diet, but I've done it casually, and enough to know my triggers are nightshades and dairy. I also get sick as a dog if I consume sodium benzoate, a preservative in many diet sodas, but that's a different reaction. THAT crap gives me flu symptoms, body aches and sinus congestion!

Lebkuchen... now to me, that's difficult. But then, I wasn't raised with it.
My soups don't use a thickener, I cook them, cool them, then puree and strain them and reheat. Labor intensive, but a good way to get me to eat my veggies.
I actually don't eat much cheesecake anymore, because soft cheeses, sour cream, yogurt and milk in any quantity greater than a couple mouthfuls makes my arthritis act up. This makes me very sad, even more than not being able to eat tomatoes and potatoes.

My grandkids's dad owns cheesecake shops...good thing...I put a piece of cheesecake on the table at a Starbucks once for the two of them to "share" when they were 2 and 4...turned my head, and the 2 year old grandson was literally shoveling it in his mouth and the 4 year old granddaughter was outraged!
I've always believed in homemade cheesecake for breakfast if it's in the house, it's pure protein, really...tell yourself that, it works!

I make cheesecake from scratch, and Yule log cakes (hard work that!), and fudge, even chocolate truffles made with heavy cream. My cookies are industrial strength, so they hold up on the semi for hubby. I do like to bake, but my pies always boil over.
Mmmmmm......
And soup, I make killer thick soups, no cream or milk. Curried Coconut-Pumpkin and a Carrot Dill are my specialties.

from a friend on fb...
If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, send it back..... It's under cooked.....

The new mammogram guidelines would have KILLED me. I could never have discovered my tumor through self-exams, it was small and deep, and not in a "normal" place. I was 47. Three more years and I've had had a funeral instead of a lumpectomy. No history of BC at all in our family, cancer yes, lots, but not BC specifically. I have friends who had BC at even a younger age. Mammograms save lives, a false positive isn't fun or cheap, but is better than dying!
