I have a stressed put wife who is stressing em put every day with worries about pur home sale and moving to Texas (hint she is not doing well with the “unknown” factors.)

She peppers me with the same questions which we don’t have the answers to and won’t have the answers to until....wait for it....until we have the answers!

I don’t have a garden this year because we will be moving and that wpuld be my main destressor.

I am dodging carbs and sugars in my effort to lose more weight (down 70lbs and want to drop another 15-25) so scotch is not an option.

I think I need a Garden Humor meme thread Diana.....save me from breaking something in this house!....:)

Good for you!!! I’m very low carb as in <20/day (definitely no sugar, grains, vegetable seed oils) & down 65 lbs. Actually, Scotch & other “hard” liquors have no carbs .... you “can” drink them. Of course, the alcohol isn’t that good for you, but if it gets too bad, a scotch now & again (or another hard luquor) isn’t going to make or break your low carb lifestyle.

I hope once you move, your wife will find some peace.
