"...I remember going for two weeks with only powdered ice tea and Wonder Bread..."

.

I went with the old-fashioned oatmeal.
It's healthier (?) than Wonder Bread.

LOL. Try getting a twenty year-old guy living in a Batchelor Enlisted Quarters to eat oatmeal over nearly anything!

I said I was pretty stupid with respect to money choices, not wise in the ways of diet!

Oddly, that graphic there is EXACTLY what I have each morning I am at work now...I keep it in my office, raisins, cinnamon, and Splenda...:)

I keep the empty containers full of unsalted, in the shell peanuts. In the morning, I come in, put on my lab coat, open the window, and put the oatmeal container in the window.

The Blue Jays, sometimes as many as 15-20 of them now, all fly over and sit in the trees near my window. When they see the oatmeal container, they know breakfast is coming for them, and they wait, their beady eyes looking at me expectantly, waiting for me to stack the peanuts on the window ledge, or throw them in turn out onto the ground one at a time.

That is how I know how many there are. They have a pecking order. Each peanut is grabbed by a bird. The next one in line gets the next one. THEY know who gets to go next. I just count the peanuts when I throw them.

I have gotten Titmouses and Chickadees to take them from my hand, but Blue Jays never will...:)

But they know when they see the red cylinder with the Quaker Oats Man on it, that it is time for them to belly up to the bar!
