Guest guest Posted December 30, 1999 Report Share Posted December 30, 1999 Celeste, If I could only have one e.o., it would be lavender. I strongly recommend that you get this above all others. It's very healing, (I put it on my hand after I burned myself on an oven rack, instantly the pain went away!) It's mild enough to use on babies, everyone I know likes the smell and it blends well with almost anything. , on her husband's account On Thu, 30 Dec 1999, Celeste wrote: > From: " Celeste " <celeste@...> > > I had to share--I got the best anniversary gift today (9 years today!).

Guest guest Posted December 31, 1999 Report Share Posted December 31, 1999 Thanks for the suggestions (public and private) everyone. Just about everyone suggested lavender and/or geranium (I would never have thought geranium would be such an " in demand " scent!). So, I guess those two are scents I will certainly get. Well, I'll talk to you all tonight--can't wait to tell what I am able to find locally and get some mixing suggestions!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Things I use: 1/2 sandwich, either turkey, lean ham or lean roast beef and a little bag of carrots Apple and string cheese Salads, like chicken Caesar¹s in particular. I also make a chicken/grape salad off of e-diets White chili, can be reheated in company microwave Myoplex lite bars (which I keep in a desk drawer for days I forget something) On 3/24/06 7:29 AM, " mcoppens4@...

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 tuna pouch / wheat crackers turkey slices / grapes hard boiled eggs / orange cottage cheese / berries cold chicken breast / banana string cheese / dried apricots cold pasta salad w/chicken protein shake / half a peanut butter sandwich on wheat chicken salad / whole wheat pita cold protein pancakes (roll up and eat) As long as you have a cooler or insulated lunch bag with some of those blue ice things, your office snacking options are pretty endless. It's also good to get some of those disposable Gladware or Ziploc containers for easy meal-packing.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 , I work in an office too and pack four meals to eat at work every day. Breakfast is oatmeal with protein powder or a South Beach b-fast wrap snacks: apple and string cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt or grapefruit and hardboiled egg lunch: usually a turkey sandwich, Healthy Choice meal, or salad w/chicken, etc Hope this helps! heather --------------------------------- New Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Michele, is there a fridge at work? That's what has worked for me. I buy food for the week at the grocery store by work and stock up the work fridge. I keep Kashi GoLean, Fiber 1 cereal at my desk. I have raw almonds, cashews, too. I grab some apples/oranges and keep in a bowl. Also, I grab some cans of tuna/salmon. I have protein powder, too. In the fridge I keep cottage cheese, cheese strings, baby carrots, lettuce. I can pretty much make a balanced meal at any point during the day. I don't carry too much back & forth from home to work this way, except for hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, oatbran. > I'm getting ready to stock up on some food for work, but I'm a little overwhelmed with information.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 You must not have any brazen food thieves at your place of employment. :-) Anything we leave in the fridge either disappears altogether or gets pawed over and chewed on. I mean, to the point of people (wild hyenas?) drinking half your Myoplex and putting the rest back. Blah! Back when I was new and clueless, I used to write my name on things, which people paid NO attention to. So then I started writing the General Manager's name on my things. That mostly worked. And I used to write " Dead rats. Do not eat " on bags I put in the freezer. The first time my " rats " disappeared, I bought a cooler.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Too funny, I thought that too . And they take all the good stuff - yogurt, fresh fruit, salad fixings. RUDE. Sometimes if I cover it with brocolli it would be safe, but that only worked for awhile. Frozen meals are the worse. I work with techies and they are human garbage disposers. I can bring in whatever leftovers I have from any party and put them on the counter and they would be gone within an hour. > > You must not have any brazen food thieves at your place of employment. > :-) Anything we leave in the fridge either disappears altogether or > gets pawed over and chewed on.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 , you are hilarious! I guess my food is too healthy and gross for anyone to eat. No one wants to eat plain lettuce, 1% cottage cheese, and plain no fat yogurt. Everything else is at my desk. We did have a mouse in the office, and I think I was being blamed for feeding it. But then the people with candies at their desk noticed their wrappers were hidden behind files...... When there is candy, pringles, chocolates around, my Fiber1 does not appeal to anyone. Also, I work at a financial institution in the credit department. Go figure, the people here are too honest, and creditworthy. lol > You must not have any brazen food thieves at your place of employment. > :-) Anything we leave in the fridge either disappears altogether or > gets pawed over and chewed on.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I like those too. Isn't that the flavor that taste just like Stove Top stuffing? I know one of the New Triscuit's taste like that.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I recommend the Kashi TLC crackers. Whole grain, fairly low in calories, and they have fiber and protein. They are VERY good. I have to portion them out in baggies, or I eat the whole box! Skwigg <skwigg@...> wrote: Triscuits. There are lots of varieties and the first ingredient of every one of them is whole wheat.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks for the information on your choice of crackers. Choosing a cracker can be difficult due to all the different kinds.
