Well I think I am going to look up crockpots at Amazon. If you have any suggestions I am all for it.

I sometimes wonder, what the sun does when it goes down behind the hill. I think it must get ready for bed. Because whatever it does, it makes the clouds blush.

If you are out sometimes during the day then buying a crockpot with a timer is a good idea. I sometimes start the crockpot in the morning at 7am and then leave for work at 8am. It sets to keep warm after 8 hours or however long I have the crockpot set to. So, the food is hot, but not overcooked when I get home after 5:30pm.

@anon10627598 I bought a 7 quart one, because I purposely cook enough for leftovers. Im also home all day with it, so mine is the old school high/low/warm knob. You can get them with timers that will automatically switch to warm setting, but I didnā€™t want that.

I found one that was 1.5 quartsā€¦do you think that is a good enough size, thereā€™s usually only me.

My husband thinks we have a three quart. 1.5 is probably enough for one person, but recipes are made for serving more people. So, it depends on if youā€™re using recipes. I guess you could always cut the recipes in half and that would work with a smaller crockpot.

If you have extra you can always freeze it for days when you donā€™t want to cook.

Well, we havenā€™t gotten 150 trick or treaters this year. We still have a lot of candy left.

You can always donate it to a homeless shelter. There a lot of people who would take it.

I feel like less people go trick-or-treating these days. Maybe people are more paranoid now. Less and less people come by each year.

On our neighborhood Facebook page, a woman posted that they had had 155 trick or treaters in 55 minutes and were out of candy. Itā€™s just not our street that has heavy traffic on Halloween anymore.

@Mars , Iā€™m my neighborhood they have trunk or treat events where you drive to a specific parking lot. There are treats and games there. Thatā€™s what most kids do now

What types of repetitive thoughts do you have @HollyHobbie if you donā€™t mind my asking?

Well my crockpot will be delivered on Wednesday. I am tired now and need to chill a little before bed. See you all on the flipside, Good Night

We had a trunk or treat in our neighborhood too on 10/22.

Thatā€™s great youā€™re getting your crockpot @anon10627598.

@Cragger the repetitive thoughts medicine helped with is upsetting things that happened in the past - like my ex-husband cheating on me and taking advantage of me in the divorce (we didnā€™t use lawyers) being bullied in an old job, and a bad situation with an old neighbor who moved exactly five years ago. It was old stuff that would come out of nowhere and I couldnā€™t control it. It would happen over and over again. The Buspirone has stopped these thoughts. It hasnā€™t helped with thoughts about junk food that are repetitive.

Okay I see. I used to have a very similar affliction, it sounds like you May have a touch of PTSD. Were you diagnosed with that by any chance?

No, I was not diagnosed with PTSD. I just thought they were intrusive thoughts.

Okay, maybe itā€™s something different altogether. Itā€™s just that after I broke my neck, I had memories that would flood back on me on a regular basis. It just sounded similar
