    Know when my grandmother had a bypass 20 something years ago (still alive and kicking about to turn 90) she had similar issues with sleep and also complained of food not tasting the same....similar statements of lack of focus....was attributed to having spent time on the heart/lung machine....
    As her daily activity level picked up, the sleep issues went away....and other items become less prounced.....

    Only if it's for Taylor. Or the blueberry girl.


    Still, I imagine the liklehood of this scenario occurring as very high:

    "Sir, you're making our clientele very uncomfortable, I'm going to have to ask you to leave now".

    I don't want to speak for the opposite sex, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that there has been absolutely nothing presented in the last 20 posts that the average woman would want.

    The wife suggests Peach Habanero. She's never had it but thinks it sounds good, especially with cream cheese as a cracker dip.

    Great to hear your continued progress to a new and improved you Nathan! As for the keys thing, you might consider a keyless entry pad to secure your place. You'll only have to hope you won't lose your memory and forget the code...

    It's not that I lose the keys, I know exactly where they are. I just forget to put them in my pocket. I need to work on that. It's up to the owner of the property if they would like to add a keyless entry system.

    I'm getting a bit overrun with jam here too. Today I am experimenting with a jam for my own education and curiosity, Bacon Jam. It's a rather long process, to create this. Good thing the office and test kitchen are rather close.

    Bacon makes everything better. We have a fairly famous ice cream joint nearby, Kelly's Creamery, home of Maple Bacon ice cream. Sounds horrible. Tastes great, one of my all time favorites.

    I had back problems years ago. My doc, on my first visit in, said "Well... first thing you are going to do is get that wallet out of your back pocket. No... not later... RIGHT NOW." It makes sense... if you are having back problems, why in the hell would you force yourself to sit unevenly just to carry a bunch of crap around with you?

    I looked at the contents that night: Do I really need to carry a Subway card with me everywhere I go? My grocery store discount card? Nope!

    Now I've got my driver's license, 2 credit cards (one for business, one for personal), a debit/ATM card and my med insurance card. I've got 3 of my business cards in there and some cash, folded in half. Oh yeah... my BART card (public transportation card for the San Francisco Bay Area) is a recent addition. The rest of the crap rides in the glove box of my car or in my briefcase.

    I'm on my third or fourth of these in about 15-20 years... I ask my wife for a new one for our Anniversary every few years when the old one wears out. The design is thin (no extra layers of leather for the sake of organization) and simple. It forces me to be careful about what I choose and the end result is slimmer than my iPhone, so they ride in the same pocket of my pants.

    (I let her pick out the color/design so she feels like she is contributing to the gift and giving me a bit of style)

    I knew someone was going to say that right after I posted it. :lol:

    I have one with a few cards like ID, medical, ATM that I carry.

    The other one is in my desk full of credit cards and other stuff I don't need to carry all the time. It helps me not to charge and spend money when I am out but dose not work that well when I am sitting at my desk on-line shopping. :rolleyes5::lol:
