Hi Char...
Thanks for the recipes!!
I worked for Dr. Rick Hansen in Hoquiam for 3 years...still lived in McCleary though. My ex-husband is a police officer for Aberdeen..I think the town gets bashed alot..but there are great things about it for sure. How do you like living in Ocean Shores??

Laura

....it is a small world. My branch manager at the bank I work for goes to Dr Hansen (dentist - right?)

How long ago was your "ex" a police officer, we had a very good friend that was an officer (many) years ago - Jim Hale...

Char...

He is a dentist yes..and still practicing..although he has been in Aberdeen now for a few years. He was in with Dr. Earnest in Hoquiam while I was there...we had a hygeniest that worked with us that lived in OS..her name was Rocky Sage...I think her husband is an atty there in OS.

I dont remember a Jim Hale..how long ago was he there? My ex has been there for about 12 years now I think...

Laura

Laura,

I know Rocky, and yes, her husband is an attorney. Rocky also worked at Dr Pritchits office when my daughter did (while she was going to school to become a dental asst.)

Jim was there long time ago - in the late 70's early 80's.

How long have you been dieting - for me (this time) it has been since July. I was at an all time high. This time, it has been pretty easy, and I know it will have to be a way of life for me. I have been "stalled" for about 3 weeks now - with little bits of cheating here and there - that is why I am anixous to get new recipes. The protein shake from my co-worker is so good, and filling. I have to work in our Aberdeen bank this morning, so will go to The Market Place when I get off and get another Splenda SF flavoring. Then I can have a Chocolate-Caramel shake.....***yummy***

Do you have a favorite food you like when you are low-carbing?
