Ken I'm trying to at least be a good low carb influence on them and see if any of it rubs off on them..

Speaking of raving sugar addicts, I had a real wake up call a while back at some friend's house. They had just gotten home from church and she was cooking some eggs with spray oil in a pan on the stove. I thought good old eggs. Then she popped a piece of bread into the toaster. I thought,,, OK not low carb....
We continued talking as she cooked and we had already eaten.
Then she put the toast on the plate and added the eggs on top. It was then that I began to be horrified...LOL She took the bottled syrup and must have poured a 1/4 of a cup all over everything

and no they're not well. Her with lymph cancer a couple of years ago and he with some kind of pancreatic problem bad enough to be hospitalized for quote a while...They're in their fifties like us.
