If there are any folks who mix a cocktail on occasion, who also try to watch carbohydrate intake, and like a decent tequila beverage, the recipe/mix below is one I've been making for a long while now. About 7.5 grams of carbohydrate in it. Sort of a pomegranate margarita in flavor.

3/4 to 5/6 jigger of 100% pure pomegranate juice (I typically use POM brand)

2-3 good 'small-ish' squeezes each of Real Lime juice and Real Lemon juice.

1 jigger of decent quality (blanco/silver) tequila.

3-4 oz. of a citrus-type or peach flavored unsweetened seltzer water.

3 decent size ice cubes.

A favorite here for a long while now.
Not really into cocktails - too much sugar.
Enjoy the odd Aperol spritz

My MRI date in Fairbanks is set, as well as the 'mapping' CT scan in Anchorage for the prep for the week (or so) of radiation.

Assistant in the office told me they'd prefer for me to have my bowels completely emptied at the time of the CT scan.

I told her she'd have to talk with my bowels about that, as I'm nearly completely out of the loop where that's concerned, anymore.

So I guess I start glowing in the dark on February 19. Hope everyone keeps the Jiffy Pop at a safe distance.
Ahh - I'm up for a medical procedure on Feb 19th too - something I've never had before - its called a Urodynamics Bladder Test - checking on the functionality of my bladder - and I'm supposed to drink 2 pints of water an hour prior to my appointment -

- it's a non-invasive procedure - what does the procedure involve? -

Once your bladder is comfortably full you will be asked to pass some urine into a special toilet that measures the flow - you will then be asked to lie on a couch so that the nurse can scan your bladder area to check for any remaining urine in the bladder - to do this a small amount of scanning gel is placed on your pubic line - and the scanner passes over this area -

*I'm all excited about the 'special toilet' - lol

One mans enemy is another mans friend......I feed the little critters.....they amuse me.

OMIGAWD. I do exactly that every moanin'. A peacock will be staring in the window, so I go out with a white garbage can with birdie seeds, a bag of black oil seeds, and a bag of peanuts.

The peacock all but pushes me away as I fill the dish out there with birdie seeds and black seeds. Then I fill the totally squirrel-proof** bird feeder.

Next, I place a peanut under the thin wire hanging the feeder to the hoop-post, and another in the "V" of the wire. Peanuts around the lip of the feeder.

Blue jays will come and take the peanuts from the wire as I put them up there. They bump into my ear/hair doing it. They do NOT (yet) take them from my hand.

By this time, there are five squirrels running around on the macadamia bush and the midget pecan tree****

I drop a peanut on the ground at my feets. Here comes the boldest. They run off with them, and I never see if they bury them like I thought I saw once.

**Experimentation led to victory. It is a 7' vertical black 1/2 square barstock with a sideways "S" top. <-- Of course, that would never stop even geriatric squirrel... so I added two "stratergeries", to wit:

1. The rod is sunk in the ground to the T-bar you jump on to sink it -- but at a distance the little acrobats cannot reach from the roof. But still pretty close to the window.

2. The rod is climbable by squirrels even if greased. So they climb up the rod to the height they cannot jump to from the ground... and face the underside of the steel inverted cone. This no-maintenance rig has been totally squirrel-proof for ten years.

**** I planted two trees I bought in a nursery in northern Floriduh (it was by my hunt club). Twenty-two years ago. One was a Flame Tree

the other was a pecan tree. I love pecans. They were both the same size.

I will not show the pornographic picture of the pecan tree.

The pecan tree is no thicker than my thumb. It is FIVE feet tall. After 23 years. Seems pecan trees have to have cold weather to "sleep". <-- I din' know that.
