What do you do or cook that is special...Luv how about you do you do anything or cook anything special.

So what’s in the Chex Mix???? We make Santa’s buttons with the kids
I started adding what my MIL added...cheese goldfish, the round brown garlic crackers, pretzels, nuts of course, and cheerios. She has added mini ritz crackers but you can't find them anymore or at least not here.

Is that because of the supply chain or have they stop making them?

Looks like we are three of a kind.....lol Sometimes, I get so anxious I break out or have heart issues......I am also a stress eater, I have put on so much weight during all of this
Oh my Luv we are so alike with the breaking out and heart issues. I am not so much a stress eater but I tend to eat chocolate when I am stressed. Dark chocolate. LOL

I don’t break out.....but I’m a big stress eater

Me too........UGH!!!!!

Well.....LOL....there’s a debate about that....the ER doc said so but my regular dr doesn’t think so....the pulmonologist is on the fence......sooooo.....I guess it depends on which dr you ask.....LOL
It seems like that is the way it is about anything medical anymore...Just depends on who you talk to. Hopefully they will get it right and do what needs to be done.
I had a heart test once and they said I had a leaky valve but it wasn't a concern.. my son has the same thing.
Oh My.......are they keeping track of that just in case you need something to be done? Is that what causes a "skipping heart beat" cause I have that, but no Dr has found that out yet as when I go to get check, my heart beat is normal and not "acting up" at the time. LOL But I can feel it in my chest and my pulse is off, so i know it is there.

I was told that more people have it than you would think. I had the echocardiogram because my heart was skipping beats and that is how they found it. My doctor said that my heart beats slower than the normal so I have to be careful should I ever have to take BP medication. They have never told me that I needed to have it rechecked. My heart skips a beat a lot of times.

LOL, I just discovered them. Have had one cup using them. Do they make "white chocolate bombs" so you could get in on the fun?

Oh......those all sound Delicious.....lol We use to go out and look a lights too, but like you, haven't done that in a long, long time. As for Special things......humm, each year kind of seems different. We don't open presents until after noon as we have very few and then rattle and try and guess what they are. Problem is, we usually DO guess what it is, ruining the surprise. LOL!!!!!!

I’m hosting at my house for the first time....so am trying to decide what to do....lol

How many people will be there.

Yes and we are doing a hot chocolate station for the grand kids this year. I wonder if they are hard to make.? I have done the chocolate spoons before.

It’s crazy that they can’t agree....but it was right before Covid happened so I’ve often wondered if it was actually Covid.....I was really sick for weeks but tested negative for flu and everything else
Could of been. You were really sick from what I remember. Is there a place where you can get tested to see if you have antibodies?

I could ask my dr but it’s been quite awhile so I don’t know if I’d still have them or not.....do you keep them permanently or just for a few months????
