Go buy yourself some plain 'ole elbow macaroni, melt a little butter(about a tbsp), put in about four tbsp of Velveeta or 4 slices of Kraft sliced American cheese(I know, it sounds gross) and a little bit of milk(1/4 cup). Just cook it long enough to melt the cheese, then set aside. Boil your noodles and mix with the other and voila! It's so good! I promise you won't be disappointed : )

You may know how to do this already, I don't mean to insult you. I think it's almost as easy as the boxed stuff but, tastier. If you find it's too soupy, just throw it in the oven and sprinkle some cheese over top and bake it until it thickens up a little. Down here, we like to boil our noodles until they are twice the size of a kidney bean and lay flat ; ) Do you guys do that in Missouri? We also cook all of the nutrients out of our green beans. They lie flat as well, LOL.

Doctors are tricky, aren't they? I once had a GYN who didn't listen either. I was a very promiscuous twenty something so when hit my late 20's I was quite concerned about HIV. I asked her twice, on two separate visits, to perform a test. I eventually had to drop her. She never tested me, I never understood that?? It took a decent amount of courage to even ask her to do an HIV test in the first place because she also happened to be my sister's GYN.

I'm sorry about the teacher at your school, at least she's leaving!!! Sheesh ; ) That would bug me too . . .

Oh, yeah, the macaroni and cheese "original recipe" is hard to find in most stores.

I went to the doctor once complaining that sometimes when I need to eat, I get lightheaded and dizzy, and my hands and legs start getting "the shakes."

It's not that she wouldn't test me, I think she forgot. Once, I could forgive, but twice?

You are quite funny! Did you know that pepper flakes were hot at the time? Also, cheese does funny things to me as well, LOL.

Have you seen that show on the discovery channel? Misdiagnosed or something along those lines? It's a little frightening. Anyway, my brother is a nurse and he said that it could be some sort of fungus. He had something similar to form in his late teens and it took radiation treatments to get rid of it. I don't mean to scare you, it could be anything, even hives which, I suffered from once as a result of stress.

If I were you, I might look into getting another doctor. You may have already mentioned doing so, my memory is horrible.

I used to take Alesse, which helped with my PMS at first, but eventually, it was making me more moody and cranky.

Stacey email me if you want to talk about PCOS, I have it. Doctors unfortunately SUCK when it comes to PCOS until you are ready to have a baby. I burst into tears in my doctors office because I felt at the end of my ropes and it's the only time I got ANYWHERE with them and even then I didn't get very far.

Smile,
