I can relate I eat out alot.I feel miserable all the time.This story shows how you can say something without actually saying it.

i really love this story not only b/c u talk about turtles and your kids but all the over eatting and filling like an obese turtle i really can relate but not on the kids part b/c i don't have any.

i had a turtle just like the one in the story. he was very expensive, but that is besides the point. I had him for about 3 months and then one day i went in there and looked at the terrarium. He looked like a raisin. He was all dried up and crusty. I never figured out what happened to him because there was plenty of water in the tank, but there was also a heat lamp.To say the less that was the last turtle i had. I dont know if they will explode like the mom told her children, but they will dry up.

I thought this was a very cute. I had a turtle when I was little, however it didn't live long because I had it placed in a glass container in the window. I can also relate to the food thing I love food and yet it makes me so miserable. I think my crutch for me is my soda's. They are so good but they make my back hurt later.

What other ways do we comfort ourselves with something that is not really a comfort at all?

Before I was a Recovereing Smoker, I used smoking as an emotional crutch. I needed it to feel good emotionally, and it was making me feel badly physically.

Happy Daze!

I can't realte to that I never played with turtles when I was little. I have a 2 year boy that I can just imagine that my days are just around the corner with him to bring a turtle home to try to feed it everything under the sun.

It seems like when their is a holiday I don't eat as much as I do on a regular dinner or bbq. I do think that we can all relate to the turtle but or own was. Its crazy how we associate "comfort" with something that makes us feel miserable. Its not just with food. Most of us do this everyday and pay no attention at all to it.

Just the thought of the boys faces makes me laugh I do not have children or have turtles so I'm sorry I can not say much here but it seems funny just thinking about it. - Ronald Zoll

I smiled while reading your blog because I totally relate to your story. I think everyone of my now older children have brought home a turtle and tried to feed it everything in the refrigerator.I also eat way too much when we have bbq's and can only imagine how my kids poor turtle pets must have felt.Thanks for bringing back fond memories for me of my kids as small children.

Oh sure! I can fix some Rubens. I use my cousin's recipe and cook the barvarian kraut down in a bottle of dark beer. Pretty tasty!

What a great post! I'm just glad they figured out the bread was not good for your father now. It's ok though b/c you honestly didn't know. Maybe there is something else you can make him? :)

Yes! My son and I visited there several years ago. We had not seen rain in ages when we went. There was not a cloud in the sky until we started getting close to The Land of OZ (Liberal). As we started getting close to the town, the sky got dark and a storm blew it. It was AWESOME! I think my son still believes I can control the weather. ha ha ha

I was in Kansas in early June of this year visiting my oldest son who is stationed at Ft Riley. Did you know that there is a Wizard of Oz Museum in the area? I wanted to go but I was "out-voted". Maybe next time we make the trip. I told me husband we'd stop in on the way there so that way I knew I would get to go.
