I love Diet Mountain Dew and a couple of weeks ago I was at someones house and they offered mme a glass of what I thought was diet Mt. Dew. Turns out it is the Walmart brand and it tastes just as good. That is one store brand that I think is equal to the original, also the walmart brand for dr. pepper tastes the same. But their Pepsi one does not taste as good.
Some generics simply is not worth buying, I have never found a generic mac and cheese that tastes good, I always have to add, extra cheese and extra butter to make it taste as good as Kraft.
Some things I can't tell a differance, like bread and butter pickles, ketchup, bbq sauce, sugar, butter, flour,cornmeal. and a few others. I try to save when I can without compromising on taste.
What are your thoughts?
DD and her son is still here and I just got busy over the weekend and started finding places for her things. I gave her and grandson a dresser and went through the boxes and put things away. On Fri. night I walked through the room to check on baby and tripped over a box-so the next day I took the responsibility away from her and just began finding a place for her and babys things. I probably should not have but I could not keep living with the clutter. I will slowly find a place to put everything eventually. I already feel better about it the chaos.
I realised something-it makes sense on some weird level.
I ate more when I felt that the clutter was out of control. Today I already noticed that I do not feel stressed, you know stress=out of control appetite.
I figured something else out to
I still am not happy about going to the church that dh likes----
He is so quiet and reserved and he wants to go to achurch that he can worship and enjoy the fellowship but he can sink into the background. I-on the other hand-like the small intimate church, one where you feel you are part of the church family. I want a small church where everyone knows your name, and knows your kids, and cares about you if you have car problems or you slipped down the steps, or lost your job. I want a church that if you miss todays service, they will pray for you and if you miss two services they will call to make sure you are ok.
I think we will probably go to separate churches for a while and see what happens.

Diet Mountain Dew? I LOVE it. I go a long time without carbonated drinks, and then, all of a sudden, they're all I want. Diet versions of (and regular) Mt. Dew and A&W root beer are what I like best, and I had diet Mt. Dew yesterday and Diet A&W on Friday. Seems like if I drink them alone, they make me crave more food. I really try to stay away from them, but seems like toward end of the year I cave. I'm glad the Wal Mart brand(Mt Lightning?) is just as good. I've bought that in the 2 liter before to make Mt. Dew dumplings (please don't go looking for the recipe, you will regret it!), but I never drank it on its own. I agree, some off-brands are as good, if not better. I buy more off brands because of that. Aldi has their own brand of Nutella, and I think it's BETTER than Nutella. There are a few brands I like better, though. I like White Lily-brand flour and white cornmeal, that is one name brand I always buy. I actually like the Sav a Lot ketchup better (Rold Gold or something). Okay, enough about food!
ReplyDeleteIt might be better for you and DH to go to different churches, especially if it's a doctrinal difference. Several people where I attend have spouses who go elsewhere. I think the ideal situation is going to the same place, but life isn't always ideal. You all figure out what works in your life!
God bless you, and have a great day, yourself. Love ya, Joy!
Hi, Joy. Good to hear from you. Also good to hear that you're doing what you need to do to reduce the chaos!
ReplyDeleteAbout church. Does it have to be all or nothing? I mean, could you and hubby go to morning church together and then you attend a church you prefer for an evening service?
I'd hate to see the two of you split up for morning service. There's something important about sitting side-by-side, united in worship, before the Lord. And the enemy of our souls would like nothing better than to divide you. How ironic it would be that the division would be over church attendence.
You do need to be where you'll be fed, tho. Maybe you could figure out a way to do both. I'm praying that God gives you wisdom.
