Hmmm ...
Celery, mushrooms, carrot, chicken...

I use turkey and chicken mince which I make into a pasta sauce or curry in bulk and freeze with the above ingredients in the sauce. I ain’t died yet.

I think the problem is probably people not chilling food rapidly after cooking it and not reheating food to a high enough temperature.

Reheating rice to a high enough temperature to kill nasties is harder... and a takeaway is probably sitting around for too long before being put in the fridge.


I agree...moist conditions - food not chilled or heated properly (or handled) - all good breeding grounds.

@CarolM
I'm doing ok. Starting to have some seasonal depression issues starting. But I'm trying to combat it.

Thanks for asking.

We’re always happy to hear from you, Dan!
Daylight is getting more scarce here too, but it’s October and November that are pretty hard. Thankfully everyone starts decorating for Christmas early to survive the dark season.

Hey all how has everyone been? No @CarolM I'm not frozen but good to know I'd have rescuers should the situation present itself lol. I haven't been able to be on here much lately, I've been working 12hr days and the situation with my father has been a nightmare! He is currently back in the hospital do to a vitamin/auto deficiency caused by lack of nutrition because the rehab facility he was sent to failed to help him eat, and also neglected to perform the therapy he was sent there for. I have filed complaints with the state and a Medicare/VA fraud investigation is now going on. He is worse now then when he was sent there 45 days ago now I can't find another rehab to accept him because the first one used up all his benefits. They even started taking his social security checks without my knowledge! Long story short today I had to retain a lawyer and a lawsuit is pending. So my life has been a little hectic lately. I hope everyone in the CDR is doing well though, and their torts are happy and healthy! Here is a pic of Murphy earlier today. This is his "I'm taking a poop face"!View attachment 251439

Oh Todd, so sorry to hear about that experience. Why does every crook out there think they can take advantage of the elderly and not get caught? :mad: So sorry you have to go through this on top of worrying about your dad’s health. [emoji173]️
Murphy is beautiful!

So sorry you have those bad memories. I did not know that there was a Russell station. My maiden name was Russell and it is so nice to see it spelt correctly. LOL just some random info for you all about me.;)

Might prove useful around your birthday for the trivia birthday games. I should make a note of it! [emoji23]

It’s done! My operation is cancelled. [emoji322][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I have to go back if things deteriorate, but otherwise it is up to me to keep up with the exercise and swimming to keep my shoulder moving.

I am not free of pain, but I am not in agony either and the range of movement has improved to the point where getting dressed isn’t anything like the problem it was. At one stage I couldn’t do up my bra and I had to wear cardigans because I couldn’t put a jumper on over my head.

Brilliant news!!!!!!!! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️
Congratulations, Linda! Ouch, I can try to un-cross my fingers now....[emoji23]

You also swim?? [emoji54]
I was swimming daily on holiday and it really helped my shoulder to my surprise, so I have been trying to go 2 or 3 times a week since we got back. I can't do much yet as it does hurt quite a bit, but I potter along and complete 6x 25 meter lengths of breast stroke which forces me to move the joint. It is getting easier, but I am not going to step it up too much.

I used to go to the gym,but haven't been since my back completely went in the spring... I might as well use the pool on my gym membership as I am not brave enough to back in the gym yet.

The song was new and often played in radio at the same time when I`ve got a very old cat in my care. It was not one of my cats but I cared for this old neglected tomcat for 4 months at the end of his life.
He was suffering kidney failure that got worse from day to day. Every evening I left him in his room alone I feared that he will be dead in the morning so that: If tomorrow never comes .... ( for him )
You understand ?
He died, but peacefully and naturally. I think he knows that he was very much loved at the end of his life.
