One of the comments from the Quit Sugar Summit is that one of the biggest motivators for people to change their diets is their brains are not working they way they want. Creating the diet that works for you that causes your blood sugar to be healthy results in a brain that works in a healthy manner. The second speaker I…

Our block had quite the excitement. A neighbor up the street 80 year old aunt drove her car into their home. She hit the accelerator and got confused and lost control of the car. So taking the keys away from a loved one who is no longer well enough to drive can help them stay safe them as well as others. She and her…

I watched a video on YouTube last night on insulin resistance. As I look back to my numbers from my last doctor appointment I was going from the slipping category to pre diabetic. This wake up call is what got me to change my diet. The damage insulin can do in your body when it is not doing its job properly is scary same…

Tracey when I was teaching and I had to do something like that I would say I am putting your desk in time out! I learned that from a special Ed teacher. It does catch them off guard. I found it worked better in some situations rather than giving the student a stop and think time. I also learned the best way was to do it…

Good Morning...I got DH car sold to a friend so she could have it for her daughter. I told her what maintenance I would do if I kept the car so I priced the car with that in mind. The DMV did price it higher which did not surprise me. This way I did not have to take it to CARMAX and I got about what they would have paid…

Vicki Thank you for your story. My friend is coming this Saturday with her daughter to view DH car. She is saying if they buy the car and I trusted her to go to DMV to change title we could finish up possibly Saturday. My stance is I want her daughter to look at it. Do a short drive with a licensed driver in the car she…

Yes Annie have your dad make you the beneficiary of the house. If there is no beneficiary it could go into probate and that will make everything take longer and cost a lot more money! The process can be frustrating enough without adding that. I am glad you caught that so it can be resolved. Yes it is a pain to involve a…

I went to dentist this is first time I can remember all my gums got a clean bill of health. I think it is due to changing my diet. My sinus infection is still gone, too! I hope to sell DH car this weekend. Most of the estate is settled now. I have had to swallow the patience bill many times over the past few months. One of…

Barbara I would just be happy at this time to slow down and take 10 chews before swallowing to start! Evelyn Over fifty years ago my dad had high blood pressure. At that time they had Doctors on staff to take care of employees. He went in and he prescribed him a pill which he took. He went in again and it was even higher,…

Annie have you thought of a list of non food rewards when you meet your goal of eating less and or leaving a bite or two behind. Great goal! My goal is to eat more slowly and chew my food more thoroughly. My mom was a slow eater and really chewed her food. I think that was part of her living to 98. I think eating too fast…

The compression socks I buy are also about $9 a pair. I did have a $5 coupon for the last pair I ordered. Mine are light compression. I like them because they look like regular knee high socks and they have dogs on them Voice is much better still a bit gravely. I am not sure if I will sing on Sunday and have to wait and…

My mom was in one of the better nursing home facilities. My dad died before having to be in one. It was expensive ten years ago. She did die before COVID. Yes the way they are funded is you either have nothing and then little choice where to go and usually not very good. If you have money they take a good chunk of it if…

(((Kylia))) I wish you could just sell the business and retire. If retirement isn't doable yet find another job less stressful. That is too many who have major health problems for you to make up the difference. It puts your health at risk. Meanwhile do what you can to help your health be the best it can be. During that…

Thank you Barbie! Re posted from March... M I hate to add cancer to the list. Shortness of breath was the first symptom for my DH. Just had a delightful dinner with a choir member friend who invited me to join her family and friends. I made devil eggs to share. Sang in the morning, went to DH and son's grave after church,…

Michele Loki was lucky to have you in his life. Rita It has been many years since I had a panic attack. I do remember they told me to have a paper bag handy and if I felt one coming on to breathe into it. What caused it for me was swallow breathing. Breathing into a bag slows the breathing down and helps give you the right…

Pip Be kind and gentle with yourself giving yourself the space you need to feel and to process the passing of your mom in your own terms. It is your time to grieve your mom. I admire the strength you give to us here. We are here for you if you need any of ours. :heart: Margaret

Allie One of my friends adopted a Hmong child that has no legs and no hands...He has always been in a wheelchair. He is going to college today. My neighbor up the street adopted a Chinese son with no legs who today is a minister. He does more walking and climbing than my friends. I had another friend whose grandson was…

I started drinking tart cherry juice for lunch and am sleeping better. Leg cramps which are my nemesis for a good night sleep less too. BP better went from 135-140/85-90 to 116-120/80-85. Waist is 35 was 37. Fewer aches and pains...Breathing so much better now that I can breathe out of both sides of my nose. My health…

Ginny We were getting water near a window by a down spout when we had heavy rain or melting snow...I put an extra 3 foot extension on the downspout and have not had a problem since. Until this was solved I put old towels down to absorb the water. Also had a dehumidifier running.

Annie A book I read years ago Emotional Genius by Karla McLaren. She has since revised this book to The Language of Emotions...in her preface she wrote ...take from this book what works for you and leave the rest on the table. Since then when I read or listen to someone I try to process what I learn in this way. What works…

Annie I don't know where I thought you were thinking of being an EMT. Being a pharmacy technician is another very needed occupation. Glad it is going well for you.

M Agree with it might be rosacea. Rosecea is an autoimmune condition. I am learning more and more that many of our illnesses and the pain that goes along begins with the microbs that live in our gut. So many things throw the balance off antibiotics, pesticides, hebacides, stress...When the gut is not happy our bodies and…
