What's for Breakfast ?

TV dinner again (been forgetting to mention the nine pills every morning) only breakfast is just now happening at 1 PM. (Rant alert!) Like an idiot (an anal one at that), I was up all night wrestling with an outlet upgrade (I would love to meet the donkey excavations who cut an oversized hole in the wall and installed the original outlets; what a couple of maroons!) dealing with stupid little problems. I would get so (censored) angry at the unnecessary problems those two (censored) caused (it was bad enough that I had to reach over a washing machine to get to the outlet; this old age business is for the birds), I would have to take frequent breaks to cool down. Being the anal old b**ch I am, I can't just leave a job unfinished although I eventually had to stop for a few hours, until just a little while ago (at least I got some sleep), to let the glue dry where I had to put in a patch to replace the sections of wall the first (censored) dipstick had cut away, leaving nothing for the plaster ears on the oldwork box I had to install to rest against. At least it's done now and I finally have enough outlets there.

(Rant over. You are now being returned to your regularly scheduled thread.)

I think you need more fiber in your breakfast.

If I added anymore fiber, I'd be jet propelled.

Joe..have you tried the indidual packets of Quaker oatmeal, I think they are instant oatmeal , they are very easy to prepare, just heat the water to boiling, pour over the oatmeal in a bowl , ( I add the sugar, real butter, then cover mine with a saucer ) until I'm ready to eat when my buttered toast is ready, along with big glass of O.Juice, 8 or so vitamines/minerals daily....maybe a cup of coffee if I have time and an oatmeal/raisin cookie....takes little time actually...

I put two packets in a bowl, add three packets of Splenda, a couple, three teaspoons of a fiber supplement (Wally World's generic version of Benefiber; I just guess at the amount), 1/4 teaspoon salt (it's a halfway decent substitute for butter plus I have problems with low sodium levels), water, then nuke it for two minutes and let it rest for another two minutes. Stir and eat.

...Ohhhh wow, the flu is awful, never had anything that really put me flat on my back until a few years ago, I was told I had a bad case of the old time flu that lasts 2 full weeks, thought I would just go ahead and die as bad as I felt, if I knew I would not get well, then I had pneumonia , the coughing lasted 6 weeks. I've never missed getting a flu shot since, you can see why .I'm usually
healthy, the whole thing shocked me, along with taking so long to recoup from, my gf said she could hear my breathing rattle on the phone, when she called to check on me.
You must teach Fred to help...!!!!

The only time I had the flu in the past ten years was the year I let my doctor talk me into getting a flu shot about five years ago and the year after. Both times were doozies. The last time I had a cold was eight years ago. Allergies and other problems, on the other hand...

Never eat breakfast, or lunch during the week. Like breakfast foods though. A Guy

Don't know how you do it Bill! When I get up in the morning I am always hungry and by lunch time I'm starving once again.

I get sick if I don't have breakfast.
