Re: Old and in Shock

I was in shock as well, when SodaHead kicked all of us, off it. I am not old in age, but I do feel old (at times). I don't like change either, and I am only 28 years old. No wonder I feel old, at times. I do manage to accept (whatever) change happens eventually.

Re: Storms

Stay safe out there. There was a severe thunderstorm  not to long ago, where I live. There was hail, but no tornados. It was responsible of taking off a roof off a house, near the downtown area. Prayers for you. 

How much do you think 1 serving per person of shrimp is?

I asked this as a General Discussion in a Recipe group I was in the old SodaHead, the same day that the old SodaHead kicked us off.  What do you think it is?
