A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
There cannot be a better support group anywhere - when it is our turn to shuffle off our mortal coils can you imagine what a great party we can have wherever it is we go?
And, Happy New Year!
Imop, you express appreciation of her anyway you want.
She is also your daughter's grandmother. That is family. I sympathize.
Just needed to express my sorrow to *someone* and I know everyone at AC will sympathize.
New neighbours came around last nite with a plate of goodies and the news that her husband had just bought a snowblower and would snowblow my drive too.
I am full of gratitude -- for my kids, for my cabin (cottage to us Canucks), for new neighbours, for just about everything. Good cheer to all, and a very Happy New Year!!
Jinglebits, I cannot drink dairy. I used to be able to eat cheese without a reaction. Now I do. So no more cheese (unless it's in a burger!) I'm finding that my stomach now reacts to yogurt. But i still eat yogurt. And I just cannot give up ice cream. Funny thing is - as long as the ice cream is Dreyers - I have No reaction to it. Yum.... I miss eating it. Ever since Dreyer's box got smaller and the price went higher, I can no longer in good conscience spend $8.99 on that ice cream. It's an extravagence. Ice cream!! One of my favorite food (other than chicken.)
Guess what my 2 nieces got for me?! They both pitched in and got me a $100 Amazon gift card!! Oh my gosh! I'm going to make it last. I will make sure to buy ebooks that are $0.99 or $1.99 and books that I know that i will enjoy reading. Hate to waste money on books that I hate/dislike.
Love Veronica
When feeling bad, I just put one chocolate chip inside each compartment of my pill box instead of pills, then I get well!
Really! My physician is still laughing! He had the audacity to suggest raisins instead, what is wrong with doctors today? They are just not getting it!
Even if I try a gluten-free diet in 2016, dark chocolate will still be on my plate, or in my pill box. Don't worry, I only use the inhaler 3X per year.
My favourite movie line of all time is ""You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and ... blow", from To Have And To Have Not. Love LB.
Maybe the refined sugar in chocolate is what's doing it?? Did you know that only cocoa is good for you -- not chocolate? Chocolate has very little cocoa in it; cocoa has antioxidants and is loaded with minerals -- magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese. So have a cup of cocoa and not a chocolate bar. You can search for chocolate hoax and that may give you some results.
I'm wondering what's in the yogurt that causes you to wheeze? Maybe some preservatives? Does this happen with any brand of yogurt?
I suspected the refined flour and sugar because of the inflammatory nature of refined products. Chocolate - that's a mystery. Everyone knows chocolate is the best food of all, so how can it be bad for me and cause wheezing?
Seriously, I suspect one of the additives, flavorings or preservatives. But since I've been off refined flour and sugar, no more wheezing. Chocolate is still an issue. I may have to make the supreme sacrifice after all!
CM: You can even by flypaper in new-fashioned hardware stores. Our local Canadian Tire has it.
Ahhhhh.
