Hey Vegas....

Im sure Ill catch fire for this since Im really not welcome on the forum anymore but...

Im going to try and return to Las Vegas in August to attend CSN for the fall semester. Im looking at Hospitality Mgmt as my study course.

I realized very quickly after I got back here (even though I was happy to be home for awhile) as to why I left Orlando (lack of datable women, poor paying jobs, family drama, as well as old work drama)

I already have a place lined up (good friends who have an extra room) and have contacted some ex employers of mine out there and will fill out applications elsewhere to try and have a job lined up by the time I get there, I am starting to save money again as well

The past few days I have spent a lot of time soul searching and trying to figure out where my life is headed, and after a long drive through the country (with some good country music of course) I realized that Las Vegas is where I want to live my life and have my career!

Cant wait to get back...

I have since filled in for you as the crazy one LOL. But seriously, you are always welcome here and I do not know where you got that idea. Let me know when you get back.

At epcot there was a fancy french resturant. we had escargot and dinner and 2 bottles of wine. Most of the wine I drank. I have never been so out of it. Lucky thing my son is able to pick me up.

Just for you, skisickie ... Irish Day Care, a Scottish friend of mine sent this to me ...

What I do is find pasta and sauce on sale for $1 each. I only eat 16 oz of pasta and 1 jar of sauce each day. This week Albertson has Barilla pasta and Ragu sauce for $1 each. I am really going to stock up heavily this week. The only problem is there is a limit of 6 on the Ragu so I will have to go everyday now.

Some minor diet changes that you might consider.
For protein: a dozen eggs every 2 weeks, one egg on most days
a drained can of some kind of legumes to stir into your pasta
the best one would be kidney beans, use 1/3 can a day
For fiber and vitamin C : A bag of oranges a week, one orange a day

You could do this for about $6 more a week. It would significantly increase the nutritional content of your diet. Alcohol washed out you vitamin C. So get the oranges or start taking vit C pills if you do nothing else.

If you are not an egg fan, whip the raw egg and add it to the just cooked pasta and toss well. It will blend into the sauce nicely and will add needed protein to the dish.

Thanks, but I have to forgo the egg. I am severely allergic to them. They literally make my throat swell up, and cause severe pain. The rest of your plan I can do.

Ok, no eggs. How about some dairy for the missing protein. For the same amount of money you could get several cartons of yogurt or a brick of cheese. Have an ounce of cheese a day shredded on your pasta. 8 oz of cheese would last a week; should be no more than $3.

LVD loves both cheese and yogurt, and I can easily add them. Fresh Parmesan or mozzarella definitely goes with pasta, but I was only trying to see how cheap I could go (if necessary) in the future, and if it would be tolerable. Luckily, I can so my experiment has gone well. I will add the cheese for now, and I already take vitamin C pills. I also take this below, which is cheap but good to fill in for the missing nutrients on my diet.
