[epilepsy] Re: Suggestion for further group visibility

 

I like the idea of people finding a link to our group. And of course different people will be willing to  share different amounts of information about themselves.  6 pages seems a little overwhelming though. And maybe less information in the pages would be good in a way that we won't chance saying everything in those pages.  


Especially  if our epilepsy is controlled.  If it isn't controlled, then we would have more to share after the six pages. 

I am not good with computers but what you say does make sense.

[epilepsy] Re: hi I am erin

 

What about telling them that you can only remember a few sentences (you pick the number) at a time and they need to let you write.
 
Or if writing takes too long, then how do you do with just main ideas, more like outline style?
 
Does writing or speaking help you remember?  Would repeating the topic of what they just said make a difference?
 
Somehow I'm afraid writing something will feel like it is taking forever while they wait, and be almost impossible in groups where others would start talking while you write.

Re: [epilepsy] Re: hi I am erin

 

Hi Sue,

Not weird at all. I have problems with my memory. Sometimes as a long-term side effect of my surgery/epilepsy, often times a result of long term side effects of medicine. Sometimes its worse than other times. Its easy to say "don't worry about it" but I won't. After 45 years it can still bother me and sometimes it may seem like I am stupid...or don't care. But we know that is not so. Be assured and bless you. :-)

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Baked Summer Squash - 9.1g Carbs, 1.8g Fiber, 3.3g Sugar

 

Baked Summer Squash - 9.1g Carbs, 1.8g Fiber, 3.3g Sugar

From: www.thekitchn.com
Turn your back for five minutes and suddenly there are zucchini a foot long in every vegetable garden. Summer is in full swing, and summer squash (zucchini, yellow squash, crookneck squash and pattypan squash) are super versatile; great shredded as a raw salad, grilled with garlic, or, as I did this week when it was too hot to stand over my grill, baked with a generous coating of breadcrumbs and Parmesan.

It's hard to mess this one up. Cook it quickly and you have a toothsome side dish, perfect the next day as a cold salad. Cook it too long and the result is a soft casserole-like preparation to complement meat, or served as a vegetarian main dish. I served it with a bowl of pasta with kale pesto and it was the perfect quick weeknight meal.
Serves: 6

2 lb summer squash (such as zucchini, pattypan squash, yellow crookneck squash)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp flaked salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove the stem ends and slice the squash cross-wise in 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Toss with the olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Arrange the squash rounds in a 9-x12-inch rectangular baking dish, or 10-inch pie plate. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over.

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake another five minutes until the top is bubbling and crispy.

Servings: 6
