Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
No one has mentioned the g i n to go with the tonic water as a cure for leg and foot cramping. Do you realize there is high fructose corn syrup in the tonic water?
Is the cure worse than the cramping? Not yet.
If I get one more 'thumbs up' emoji when I've updated sister-3 on life here supporting aging parents + sister-2 (disabled)..... double incontinence & combative behavior is NOT a 'thumbs up'!
Is there an emoji with "stick your thumb where the sun don't shine"?
How do people put faces and things on their comments? :-)

The second article explored the connection between eating cold water fatty fish & cardiac health. Unless you have the enzyme needed to get the good stuff out of the fish there is no upside to eating said fish for cardiac health. Inuits or Eskimos carry the gene for that enzyme.
Soooo: bring on the steak, lasagna, ice cream, fried chicken, liver cooked in butter, egg & cheese omelets. My brain is worth it! Just sayin'
I'd rather die of a heart attack with my brain intact than a good heart and a shriveled up brain.
I do know that the brain needs protein and some sugar to stay healthy and active. Unless, the researchers has change!
I would have to agree with you Polarbear "I would rather die of a heart attack with my brain intact than a good heart and a shriveled up brain."
FWIW, to me, there is a connection between the decades long focus on cardiac health for extending life & the (seemingly) exponential increase in numbers of dementia patients. Maybe cardiac health allows us to outlive brain health or maybe focusing on cardiac health inadvertently damages brain health or a combo of both.
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather a skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Praying everyone is okay.
Make new memories, but keep the old.
These are silver, but those are gold.
It is cold & grey here today, I'd love to be at the beach (warm & carefree) too!

Someone comes on here with an attitude, an agenda, and starts attacking other caregivers and this website. Perfect example of an instigator and troll.
Thank you for pointing that out, however, I was not going to name names.
The always faithful admins already took care of it. It was no one we would know.
It seemed to me more of a political agenda, but I am not sure.
Your comments are always helpful to keep us all on track.
I just ignore trolls, angry posters, foul mouths, etc. They are not worth one second of my time. But you, I'd be disappointed if you left.
Ignoring the troll was no longer possible when IT attacked a poster, true to troll form, IT said to a caregiver: Learn to spell, plus some stuff.
Others had reminded the troll of forum rules, which Troll broke, kept breaking.
I could not let that stand, so I spoke up.
How about sspwnb's Which stands for Scum Sucking Pigs with no Brains. I'm not sure how'd you go about pronouncing that but it works for me.
Actually pigs are kind of cute too.
How about SSLFOH's. Scum sucking Lowest Forms of Humanity. Too graphic maybe.
Okay trolls it is. :)
