Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Just now going to make a similar 'breakfast' for dinner, and add Bone Broth Powder to it. Yum!
Uh oh, gotta run. Hubs has put my desk outside. Meh.
Then I read dr. axe who wrote one cannot get enough Bromelain from eating pineapple, need 45-135 mg., or much more for therapeutic dose. However, his doses vary from his website, his book, and the supplements he recommends--most likely has a financial interest in. I am being careful.
So, this is becoming too personal for me on a public forum. I will ask my doctor, the physiatrist, who specializes also in food therapy.
However, I sincerely thank you Golden, and everyone who contributed to my health plan. And Gershun, the curcumin has helped, as I explained before.
The magnesium and Vit. D helps tremendously-without which I am jumping out of bed at night with muscle cramps, that is different than the sciatica.
The physiatrist also treats pain, fibromyalgia and will do PT, physical therapy to return to normal exercising. Still waiting for the return call today.
I am encouraged to have found an excellent doctor, top in her field, highly recommended. She can fix me up without surgeries, and no more Rx pain meds.
Could have bought a chicken on sale , or seven chickens-boiled it down to the bones to make broth.
In search of proper Bromelain dosage is not possible. The milligrams cannot be guaranteed, so a separate language is created to confuse us.
Mg. = milligram
GDU = Gelatin Digesting Unit
FIP = Measurement of enzyme activity by the IPF
Is there a story there-how did the bluberries get on the carpet? Dog, baby, cat?
The sun is shining but there is frost on the roof tops (brrrr). Today I will travel to the city to take Nephew shopping and offer assistance cleaning blueberries off his carpet.
Wait until Christmas into New Years Katie....to see The Holiday movie because the holiday is Christmas-months away. OR, see it anytime.
The movie sounds interesting...I have never seen it.
You are late getting to the slumber party!
The drawer is a cyber drawer, silly.
The kindle never made it into the drawer,
there was so much flannel in there.
Are you here to help make breakfast?
Any ideas?
Ever heard of Bone Broth? I've got lots, thanks to the hype
of the famous dr axe. It is supposed to heal gerd, and I added it to my berry smoothie yesterday. I guess one could put it into scrambled eggs?
You are mostly the earliest one up, regularly, after the UK, Countrymouse.
I know the night is over after you are up.
It is 4 a.m. here.
Good morning!
My pink and white striped nightshirt has satin on the outside, flannel on the inside, but it is not from VS. It is uncomfortable because it doesn't stretch, still like new after 20 years!
Has anyone heard of a house exchange program? I first saw the idea in the movie: "Holiday". One cute cottage was in England? Ireland? and one was in L.A., modern, high end (Beverly Hills?). People could start sending their parents or In-laws away on a vacation for free! Or go ourselves just for a change.
Yesterday, Hubs and I looked at more possible new homes. They always set them up so nicely with furnishings and so on. I asked the lady could we just buy it as is with furnishings etc. What a treat that would be. Probably they'd have to add 25 grand in furnishings to the price. They then took us to one that was not furnished. Looked like sh*t. Again, I asked, could we buy that one as is? She just looked at me sympathetically. LOL
For Luckylu, I recommend the red Lanz of Salzberg "In a Cat's Life" flannel print pajamas.
Gershun can wear the "Playful kittens" flannel nightgown by Lanz.
MsMadge can wear the Nordic Snowflake flannel nightgown, also available at The Vermont Country Store online.
Other favourites will be Eileen West gowns, Jockey, Lands End, and L.L. Bean, more casual plaids. Will we be saving a place for Cwillie, Sharyn, Ali, Countrymouse, Susan, Guestshop, FF, cdn, Golden, Katie??? zzzzzzzzzzzz.
It has been so long since we have had guests, or even a party! I bet you all will be talking ALL night long! Please R.S.V.P.
Yeah but "hubs, they invited themselves", "and you know how I love an impromtu party".
Did you know, being a cat Mom, that your cats love you for so many reasons?
One reason is that you allow them to sleep either in the drawer (keeping it open a crack); on the bed; or under the bed.
I remember this now, I know this now.
"Did you tell them prior to all this you were sleeping with your kindle in the bed all night?" "Tell them to behave, we need the room". Lol.
Why is it that everyone can be soooo very funny?
