This was finally given to me today.
I doubt anyone would have believed I would ever work at one place for 20 years but there’s the proof.

Oh yeah…..
I forgot all about this and had to be reminded by my Stop Smoking program. Here’s the subject from that email.
“Congratulations! You’ve met a milestone in staying quit”
That milestone would be 6 months and it happened on Sunday which was also Jenny’s birthday. Maybe that’s why I forgot or maybe I’m truly a non-smoker now and don’t think about it often. As I was told by other ex-smokers I still get the cravings but they come much less often now.

Alton’s Cottage Cheese
Alton Brown made some cottage chesse from skim milk and like most stuff he does it looked really good so I tried it. You take a gallon of skim milk and heat it in a pot. When it gets to 120 degrees you pour in 3/4 cup of white vinegar and stir. The milk will curdle pretty quick but you leave it sit for an hour to get the most out of it. When it’s cool you pour it into a strainer lined with cheesecloth and rinse it under cold running water for several minutes. After that you break it up in a bowl, add half and half, a little salt, and eat.
It is good but it’s not worth the time and effort. It doesn’t actually taste like cottage cheese. What it does taste like is cheese that hasn’t been aged or a little like cheese curd.
I would have included a photo but I ate it all.

Fabooboo’s Forum
Betty now has a real blog instead of that Blogger thing. Jenny used to call her Fabooboo when she was young and Betty has always liked it so it’s Fabooboo’s Forum.

3rd one is the charm(we hope)
You may think I’m talking about my 3rd grandchild just announced by Jocelyn on her blog but you would be wrong. As excited as we are by that news(and we are, we were told a few weeks ago) it has been overshadowed by Betty needing another stent. She has had no energy for several month and this morning she went for an angiogram. That showed some blockage at the point where she had the first stent put in on July 4th, 2004 so they put in another one. She’s staying overnight in the hospital and we think she’ll probably be home tomorrow. Your thoughts and prayers are always appreciated.

Ducks!
The Anaheim Ducks just won the Stanley Cup. That’s for Hockey if you didn’t know. This is the first time the cup has been won by a West coast team. Woo hoo!

8 weeks and 100 posts
It’s been 8 weeks since I quit smoking and this is the 100th post on my blog. I don’t think there is any significance but I thought you might be interested.
I’m pretty much off my Chantix although the Dr. said I should keep taking it. I keep forgetting in the morning and in the evening I’m afraid it’s going to make my OSA worse.
I haven’t been diagnosed with OSA yet but Betty and I are pretty sure I will be. Oh yeah, OSA stands for Obstructive Sleep Apnea if you didn’t know.
I’ve been really tired all day every day for the last year at least and it’s gotten worse since I quit smoking and gained more weight. When I told the Dr. he asked a couple of questions and the answers all point to sleep apnea. We are trying to find a sleep lab so I can stay the night and get diagnosed.
If they confirm it they will set me up with a CPAP machine and hopefully my daytime tiredness will be a thing of the past.
