Messy foods:
Dole Whips on a hot day, any ice cream at WDW on a hot day!
Anything with dips, chips and salsa, guac, sour cream, etc
Pizza with lots of toppings

(Wed, 3/18) - 3 messy foods you're grateful for
1. Ice cream cones and ice cream bars (especially if eaten outside...)
2. Tacos
3. BLTs can be a bit messy

Buffalo wings dipped in blue cheese.

This was my first thought too - I love them!

Also seconding those who said ice cream outdoors - pure delight with friends on a sunny day!

And for my third, I occasionally make something called "egg roll in a bowl" (which is like the guts if the egg roll without the wrappers). Even using a big stir fry pan, I always seem to make a mess cooking it, but it does taste good.

Although this bedside manner was absolutely horrible my bone doctor my first bone doctor he did a great job it’s a shame he retired again bedside manner was atrocious but his work was really good

My Gen practitioner absolutely love this man - he’s a rarity because he actually listens and he’s a huge DISNEY fan on top of it he helped me out so many times on so many things with not just me but other family members

My Eye Dr - I had some weird eye facial pain one time it went on for months they couldn’t figure it out sent me to several specialist they couldn’t figure it out in my eye doctor did something that’s extremely rare he gave me his home phone number and told me to call him if I needed him his private home phone number I did need him and I did call him twice and it wasn’t a problem it wasn’t an issue and it wasn’t like I’m gonna charge you thousands of dollars because you called me at home and I had to do something for you how many doctors would do that I don’t know of any other not in my orbit

My dentist - My first original family Dentist-I had this man for probably over 20 years he was the nicest caring helpful considerate dentist I’ve ever had in my life and considering that my parents didn’t believe in dentist I had a lot of dental work I had to get done We spent a lot of time together and he was very considerate and caring

God by my faith. Dad, my Grandparents, and Champ.

A dentist I was so blessed to have and know for a few years. He was recommended to me by a church pastor friend. He and his receptionist wife retired in 2021. They truly made such a kind difference to me.

A therapist and friend at the facility who God-willing I get to re-connect with in the future. Both of my at-home therapists currently are wonderful.

Happy Thursday Friends

#1 - MY FAMILY - Mom, Dad, Grandparents have all been loving and caring people in my life. In 3 1/2 months, my mom will be taking care of me again when I get my left knee replaced.

#2 - PRIESTS - I’m grateful to all throughout the years that have listened to my confessions and gave me wonderful spiritual advice.

#3 - DH - He’s been taking care of me for almost 31 years. He’s the main bread earner, and I’m always grateful for his hard work and strong work ethic every day.

My parents/grandparents - You don't realize how good you had/have it until you see others who are not so fortunate.

Secondary Oncology Surgeon - While my main surgeon was very talented and highly regarded, it was the secondary surgeon who had the incredible bedside manner and helped me learn to care for myself after my complications.

College Friends - I will spare you the novel, but I somehow ended up with a network of guy friends in various Greek houses, athletic teams, work positions, and clubs who were tasked with making sure I was safe and properly cared for in social situations. It involved everything from keeping an eye on things while I was at bars or parties to making sure I had a safe walk or drive home. You hear so many horror stories about young girls in college but I had all of these people regularly making sure I was safe and sound.
