@Blueberrybook:

I'm overjoyed you're doing so well! We all want to see each other succeed. I'm thrilled that you are enjoying your drawing which is VERY impressive, and this comes from someone who sketched intensively in their teens, so i know what the creative process is like.

Glad you are enjoying baking too. I prefer cooking as i am determined to lose weight even tho the deck is stacked against me with menopause and anti-psychotics on board still. I hope to rid myself of the APs in the next twelve months, as my diagnosis is now dual "Progressive Grief Disorder" (PGD) with considerable mood disturbace, so APs are contraindicated.

They just make me fat and tired and lose out on life. So sorry i ever saw that Doctor Patrizia Cavazzoni who pumped me full of Epival and i gained 125 pounds in a year and my hair turned grey at 29. What a drug dealer she was, now working for the US FDA.

So negligent, such a criminal. The Hypocratic Oath is "First, do no harm," and she violated that in spades. And now she's in charge of what American's eat and drink! Such a harmful, negligent human being, beware.

Well, on to cooking adventures in the kitchen tomorrow morning. I have everything on hand. I prefer to cook with beans and vegetables. I can't justify baking, because it's so caloric. I like desserts, but i must forego them temporarily while i get down to a healthy weight. I won't travel internationally until i am fit, hale and hearty, and can once again protect myself against ne'er do wells.

It's been a joy to see your sketches, and colored pictures, and watch you grow as an artist. You are a real force-of-nature here on this forum, and i hope you continue to participate with such VERVE!!!!
