Ute....short for utility coupe

Welcome, and he'll yeah it does...unfortunately there is no miracle magic day that your done cos we are all different...the other thing is that change is a little each day....day 12 is easier than day 1 but it's still brings its sh1t so we don't really notice that it is easier...but in time you look back and are so glad you stuck it out.

I see you soft poached on crumpets and bring you roast pork with crackle and vegies backed in dripping... Might not be dad's Easter lamb roast (fruck U Covid-19) but ... Crackle! Brings a smile to the any sad day....unless ya Jewish orva Muslim I spose. I only do my veg in dripping now for special occassions... an it always makes me a bit teary...both grandad and Grandma cooked their roast veg like this.

It stops chooky...just takes time.... So try a shower...you can't smoke in the shower. Suck a lollypop...have a chewy (gum)....drink some herbal tea....drink some hot honey and lemon.

I'm reading a whole series of baseball books ... Not much sport in them but plenty of bats an balls and sliding into home ....seriously who'd a thought baseball soft porn.

Oh goody.... 1. When I won the third best n fairest in a row for the netball association the mayor held dinner in his offices for my team and I. 2. When I won my age group for the 1986 international year of peace children's art competition I had to attend a reception at the national art gallery. 3. When I won the Nippondenso Science Scholarship I had to attend their chemical plant for a reception.

Um....2 is the lie...cos it was in some other sport...

G'day @Mac#23 and welcome. Biggest tip I have to offer any newbie is to just take it one day at a time...only focus on a single day...being 4 days in you know you can do 24 hours, you have already done it 3 times. Oh and don't worry about what others are doing with their quit, every quit us different so just do you.

^ need a worried face. meanwhile.... I'm thinking of @Boo cos he's the only person I know in Tennessee...and this might explain why he follows the Braves which are in a completely different state...

@jillar is that for your safety?

Next yule be tellin me ya went for a bit of exercise down ya local beach.....pining for the crash of waves and brine. Me...getting triggered by morons on the news who ignored facts and then claimed they weren't told...an all 7 members of the Aussie high court....Shame, shame, shame.

Confessing I don't do fennel...that slight aniseed taste it has is not to my liking.

Almonds are great for diabetics and an appetite suppressant. Avocado falls into that category too. So does ginger and cinnamon. Apples do but they are high in sucrose so not really that good for diabetics. Green tea, with some ginger and cinnamon is a good option. You can slice strawberries in a water jug overnight and then the water will have a strawberry hint, hardly any sugar... you can add mint leaves too. Most green leafy vegetables are appetite suppressants, not as good as walnuts and almonds though... just be careful though as often these are high in sugars. Dark chocolate (preferably bitter) is both low in sugar and also an appetite suppressant. Patchouli oil is supposed to suppress your appetite if you burn it or rub it on your pulse points. Onions have more sugar than most fruit... often diabetics think they have had a nice healthy meal and the BSL will be high because of onion. My mum is diabetic. She always has almonds and walnuts to snack on.

^^ What she said @reciprocity

^^^^ OMG OMG OMG OMG ..... welcome back piggy. -4

Don't you have $1600 fines for more than 2?

-1...would ya look at iso bringing all the oldies outta the woodwork.

Isn't it anything more than 2 is a crowd?

If everyone maintains the correct social distance is a crowd ok?

1 is the lie...cos, I dunno, I'm just guessing.

Iso & Quarry are kinda here to stay I reckon. My brother and his mates have their kids running an iso Olympics. So the poor supermarket workers are copping a fair wake of verbal so they are a but fragile at the moment....last time I was down the shops the checkout chick burst into tears when the old bloke in front of me said "Thanks darl" as he left. Now here I am thinking it was happy tears cos someone was nice to her...yeah nah it was a language/cultural/accent issue. Being me I ask her if she's alright. She says it's too much she is sick of everyone being racist to her all the time. (Huh??)...yes all the time men and women are being racist to her and calling her "Darl"....huh?, How the fruck is calling someone darling (darl) racist...I do it all the frickin time...so I tell her 'i don't think they mean to be racist, they are just saying thank you'...."but just because I am indian why do they have to call me Darl"....an then I jerried....when an aussie says Darl it sounds like Dahl....so trying not to laugh I say....'yeah-nah they aren't calling you Dahl....they are calling you darrrrl...short for Darling...if they wanted to be racists an nasty they'd call you curry muncher. Girls and boys will both say it to you...sometimes ladies will say thanks love or thanks sweetie too. It's just that we don't say r properly." An yep as I walked off...thanks Darl. But at least she smiled this time.

Yes 3 is the lie..... 1 I did tell the son in law that my daughter was his expense now. 2 I did have a pizza button on my phone. 3 I was not a domestic ice hockey ref but I was a softball blue. Your up @jillar...give us ya 123

Aren't crowds banned at the moment?

Walnuts are a good snack and also an appetite suppressant. Black chai tea without sugar is a good appetite suppressant & it boosts your metabolism. Strawberries and blueberries are the best fruit for diabetics....and strawberries are an appetite suppressant. You can do this. No reason not to have a cuppa tea or coffee in the morning.

Laurel.... Although if you look at Boo's first post that was me except instead of watching a Laurel and Hardy skit I watched Abbott n Costello's who's on first...cos I remembered Laurel and Hardy shit me to tears.
