Sky,
Absolutely ok to continue sitting. Hope you had a good night's sleep. I was boarderline diabetic and had to cut out soda so I switched to tea with Stevia (a natural sweetener with no sugar and it's not deadly like the artificial sweeteners). My DS is also 3D! I only have Mah Jong 3D for it though and all the other games I play on it are regular 2D ones. I love solitaire games as well. I love my DS cause it's easier to play a bunch of different games than try to remember solitaire with a real deck of cards. My ears are the only think pierced on me. I want to get at least 2 other tattoos but haven't found the right person to do them yet (1st one I got done in New Hampshire which is about 2hrs away from where I live)....plus don't have the funds yet. Working on that.
The fresh ginger is very easy. I grate fresh ginger that I get in the grocery store with a cheese grater. I put a whole bunch of it in a pan of water and bring it to a boil. Then I lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-20mins. I add the Stevia and either drink it hot or I chill it. I love it either way. I just realized I never tried lemon with it but I bet it would taste real good. I keep the fresh ginger in the freezer so it doesn't go bad. It's a weird looking thing. Kinda like a mutant potato in a way. It's a bit "spicy"--not hot like cayenne but tingly when you drink it. I also use the ginger in homemade stir frys which I love also. I like to put grated ginger on the meat I use in the stir fry. Gives it a unique taste.
I just read your signature quote--I like that! It's how I try to live my life.
Ok, headed to CT to visit a friend who's in town from TX. I won't be home til real late. Should be back tomorrow if you wanna continue chatting. No obligation though. I like that we have things in common too. I also like your name.
Have a great day!
<3
