Food porn and other posted teases...



Does anyone but me fear the postings from some of their Facebook pals?
Some do recipes all day long and never post anything I would or could eat; without regret that is… twenty plus sent all day long!

And then today a dear ole friend who has been also recently posting recipes descriptions along with completed recipes' pictures with little regard for us real world folks that should watch what they eat and have too little will power to be toyed with; filed her recipe reports as well, but not for good…mine that is!

These two women couldn’t be more opposite, but both tremendous people in their own rights.

The first, the twenty plus gal, that’s recipes with those obscenely delectable looking PICS all day long, not her age… she’s young too, but pushing forty.
This fine young woman is a widow with Multiple Sclerosis and
not only bowls weekly on a team that does very well, so well she has competed in the Olympics,  the Special Olympics!
Yes, she is Autistic, and she told me years ago when we became friends.
I asked her to slow down and find some healthy recipes, it was difficult and at first she acted offended but I told her I love her recipes, which is true but I just can’t eat them, now on occasion she throws a few healthy ones in the mix.

The other is my dear ole friend from that lovely picture of my Mom on the back steps with me, her and another gal pal all at very young ages, way back when...
She happens to be the oldest of eleven and, a wife and a mother of four, grandmother of many; sorry I lost count, and a nurse in a very nice nursing home.
Now after I mentioned to her kiddingly using that term of ‘food porn’ which I do believe is what foodies would call it, or I could be wrong, since I have been wrong before, but…
Now she is posting good info about cautionary tales of people being taken and fake police officers hoodwinking people and so I am telling her that I like them all.

Gosh, I think that she knows that my Hubby’s a retired police officer, but even so, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT BENEFITS FROM ALL THAT IMPORTANT INFO! LOL!

But those fattening unhealthy recipes… everyone has to think of healthier ways to make those things for all our sakes, really!

As in all days I do enjoy looking at everyone’s posts and what most or many do is cut me down to size, since in some cases I find that as much as I read and listen to the news and search for things on Google that I am not catching up with so much out there, and at times I feel at a loss. So not commenting, is my way of not showing my stupidity or shame of not knowing what the heck someone may be talking about; please forgive…

Life is always a learning experience that I feel I try like most to do daily, but little do any of us know, that is everything!
No one can.
But we must never stop trying to know as much as we can.

On that note of wanting to be a better person to talk to all of you with better information, intelligently, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
