Last spring, I rededicated myself to becoming healthier and rejoined Weight Watchers for the *cough cough* 5th time. The WW app makes it very easy to see a particular food's nutritional information by simply scanning the bar code. One discovery I made was the most delicious chocolate treat made by ChocoRite. This is the chocolate caramel crispy... it's sugar-free, high in fiber, 35 calories per piece and only 1 WW smart point per piece. And it's DELICIOUS! At my local grocery store, these treats are located with the diet aids like SlimFast. Yum!
LIFE GOES ON BETWEEN THE LINES OF VULNERABILITY AND GOOD HEALTH AS THE LINES BEGIN TO BLUR AND THE GAP BETWEEN THEM CLOSES
My neighbour, Dusty, in the picture. He is 90 years old bless him. Still out walking his little Jack Russell dog, Jack, who is out of sight, tending to his own business in another neigbour's hedgerow, who is also 90 years old … the neighbour, not the hedgerow, though it may well be! ; 0))) Long-lived people here. May it always be so!

DIGNITY – BOB DYLAN
Too late now, in my opinion, BUT :
What the World governments needed was simple … they needed an adviser who was one of the most vulnerable to lessen the impact of this global crisis. 80% of people may only get mild symptoms, 14% may have serious complications, 6% may die. These were the statistics. Surely it would have been better to have the world running at 80% than at zero. Surely it would have made sense that those of us who have underlying medical conditions should have been shielded before now. I am hovering between the 6% and 14%. I am one of the ones who should panic and yet it is mostly the healthy, able-bodied who are panic buying and leaving the vulnerable without basic supplies. STOP BEING SELFISH!!!!!
Witnessed by a friend or on the news (NOT fake news as far as I am aware) :
A wealthy person with a Range Rover crammed with loo rolls and food.
A person at check-out buying 300 loo rolls and 80 tins of soup.
Two sweet, frail old ladies standing outside a supermarket crying their eyes out because there was nothing left on the shelves.
A nurse coming off a 48 hour shift crying because there was no food left. How is she supposed to administer to the sick when she becomes sick herself.
Food Banks closing because there is no food left for the homeless. Shameful that even in my country there are still homeless people who are now made more vulnerable without sustenance.
People coughing and sneezing everywhere instead of staying home! I walked a few steps along the High Street. A mother sneezed not only over me, but over her small child. Perhaps she just has a cold, but even so, it is not acceptable to sneeze anywhere except into a tissue. I side-stepped her too late. She gave me a filthy accusing look as if I was the perpetrator of some great crime! I worry for the child.
STOP PUTTING THE ECONOMY BEFORE HUMAN LIVES!!!!!
Yes, the economy is important, but would locking down the world for 2 weeks from the get-go have been so bad. In retrospect, I think not.
Money cannot bring back to life those who have succumbed to the Coronavirus.
Money cannot comfort those people who have lost loved ones.
The Economy will recover.
Change your way of thinking and adapt :
We need to change, because what we have been doing up to now is not working for the good of all. People are divided, in my opinion, into two distinct groups :
THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS!!!!!
There are those selfish and greedy people who only think about themselves. They are making this so much harder for everyone. I pray for them.
There are those selfless people who never advertise their kindness. They go about bestowing acts of kindness on all they meet with never a thought for their own health and safety. They are our guardian angels. All that kindness put out to the world is paying dividends now. I thank God for them.
Look to your neighbour. I have a small group of friends and family. We are pooling our resources. Every day we ask of each other, what do you need? Every day we try to fulfil that need. Today, I asked for something I would normally take for granted. I have an elderly cat with a chronic illness who is a fussy eater. He likes salmon, but there is none in the shops, so today when I was asked, what do I need, I said, please, if you see some salmon, Teddy would like some. In return I will give something of what I have to someone who needs it more. Yesterday, I said, could I have cat litter. I received 1 large bag. Today 2 more arrived on my doorstep. Tomorrow another will arrive.
Seemingly, we take so much for granted. We must not. If we are to survive, we must be adaptable. We must think of others. We are asked to observe social distance. We are asked to self-isolate. We are asked to shield the most vulnerable. In fact, we are asked to observe separateness and indeed the most loving gift we can give someone we love right now is to keep our distance, but it does not mean we are not united. In spirit, we are more united now than ever. We are united in our grief. We are united in our struggle. We should be united in our thinking. We can still help others. This is Peace Time, but it is a War of the World. We are fighting an unknown, invisible enemy. We are all in this together and the only way we can combat it is to think as one, so please do not be selfish. If you are sick, stay indoors. One thing we must not share with the world, is this disease. We are fortunate. We can still remain connected without physical interaction. We have telephones. We have the Internet. We have Face Time, Whatsapp, Skype … No need for us to feel alone. Today I have spoken to many people, via text, my landline and through my closed door. I have been brought kitchen rolls, cat litter, soups, cat food, cat treats and even lemonade. I read a blog by a sick man. He said he was off caffeine and only craved sharp drinks. I have been brought tinned spaghetti. There is no pasta left in shops anywhere here! I have even been brought Slimfast protein powder, ha ha ha! Are they saying I'm FAT!! ; 0))) It's the thought that counts and it is nutritious : 0) Yesterday, when I was asked what I needed, I also said, I don't NEED it, but I would like it … dark chocolate with sea-salt. My favourite. Still waiting people … ;-D Just kidding! ; 0)) I am very fortunate. I feel blessed. People are very kind to me; very loving and generous. They are my heroes!! Thanks you guys! You are the best!!!
My prognosis of the situation :
This original statistic allegedly of 80% of healthy people is decreasing. Soon it will reverse if we are not careful. Soon it may become 20% healthy to 80% sick ratio. This disease is indiscriminate. It does not care if you are wealthy or poor, previously of good health or already sick. In my opinion, no-one is safe. Diseases are adaptable. Diseases can mutate. It is imperative that we are prepared. We must look out for ourselves, yes, of course, but we must also look out for each other. This is the true meaning of humanity. The whole world is affected. We must contribute to the good of all now more than ever.
BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION AND NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Welcome to my world. I am prepared. I hope you are too. I hope you will all be well.
I am on day one of a 3 month self-imposed lock down, after making my last outing yesterday to conclude my business. I have supplies which will last about 2 weeks. I am reliant now on friends and family for the other 10 weeks. I already have a sore throat, headache and am sneezing. 3 friends and family also. At the time of writing this there are 33 confirmed cases in my small part of the island and one death. I am trying to remain calm. I have cancelled all of my routine doctor's appointments and hospital appointments, even though the hospital says it is safe to attend. There is a confirmed case at the hospital, so I am taking no chances. With all my chronic illnesses, I am often sick. I have 4 chronic medical conditions and am still awaiting the results of a biopsy. My lungs are permanently scarred from previous pneumonia. I have had a 'flu jab and one for pneumonia, but am told these may not protect me. If you remember, I had a very bad case of the 'flu after Christmas and have been wondering if it was Covid-19. I am very interested to learn that a test may be in the offing to determine whether or not someone has had it in the past before the announcement was initially made, but obviously the priority is to develop a vaccine. At the time of my illness, a close family member was hospitalised with a high temperature and same symptoms. He also has a bad cold at the moment and underlying health conditions. I must eat specific foods which I can no longer obtain. I must rely on medication. I have enough for 4 weeks. It may just be that I am run down because I have not been sleeping enough and have been very anxious. There is no point in panicking any more. I have reached a point where I could no longer remain in that high state of angst. Now I feel very calm. If my journey is to end after all I have already survived, I hope I leave something good behind. I hope I leave this world better than I found it. I have enjoyed being here with you. Thank you for your support, kindness, love and friendship. Thank you for your indulgence and acceptance. I am not the easiest of people, I know … ; 0) Thank you for your letters. Apologies that I still have not replied to all. I have been overwhelmed. I am aware of what a Drama Queen I am! ; 0)) Let us hope that all my fears are unfounded ...
STAY SAFE! STAY WELL! STAY HOME! GOD BLESS X
It is important to remember that this world of ours is still beautiful. I will continue to post pictures from my gardens. Government apparently says if we are sick we should stay 6 feet from our boundaries. This is easy for me, but not for everyone. I realise I am privileged. I realise that this year I may not have to “endure” and hide from the “dreaded” Summer people, but this year it will make me sad and I will undoubtedly miss them. I will continue to write my poems. I will continue to sing (good exercise btw for dodgy lungs like mine : 0) and make videos and create art. I will continue long after I am no longer here … my pages will remain. God willing, so will I …
p.s. On a more positive note … My protective filtering face mask just arrived today on day one of self-isolation! Yay!!!!! Will be handy when talking through the letter box! ; 0)))))) Remember to keep a good sense of humour at all times!! Look after yourselves. Look after yourselves and each other.

UPDATE : 24.3.20.
Please sign this petition to protect those working for Holland and Barrett. They have an online shop. It is not essential to keep their stores up and running on the High Street. They are putting their employees health and safety at risk and their customers too. A lot of their customers are among the most vulnerable whom we need to protect. My own family member is being forced to work. He has an underlying medical condition that is also an autoimmune disease. He is one of the vulnerable, but he will lose his job if he stays home. Please help. Stay At Home. Protect Our NHS. Save Lives. Many thanks in advance of your kind help xxx
Judging by the disarray seen in some of these photos, you'd think these were from near the very end of the closing, rather than just the 10% off phase!

Woman cannot live on Cornflakes alone. Or can she?
I mostly eat cereal. Mostly.
And not even the really healthy roughage filled ones neither, no, I have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome), or what men call, ‘That thing all women claim to have when they occasionally fart or spend a long time in the toilet.’ Roughage type cereals play havoc with irritable bowels. Irritable bowel - what a title, it sounds like a woman’s problem, the man’s version would be ‘grouchy guts’.
My diet has evolved around finding foods that I can eat that won’t give me tummy ache, a great big balloon belly, make me produce any noxious gases and won’t repeat on me for the next week.
Funnily enough, cake, puddings, chocolate, wine and crisps don’t trouble my innards.
Interspersed with the desserts and booze I like to eat a balanced diet, and by balanced I mean bland. I went to one of those food allergy people once, he pressed little test tubes on my arm and decided that spinach and avocado were the route of all my problems – I almost never ate spinach or avocado, but I continued to not eat them from that day onward.
For over 30 years I have managed to keep myself entertained with the various possible textures of Kellogg’s Cornflakes, some days crunchy, some days I let them go soggy, some days I crush them up really tiny so they are like the dust pile that you get when you reach the dregs of the packet and get those weird bits of corn kernel that get stuck under your gums.
As a child I would sit at the kitchen table and devour every word on the packet along with every flake in my bowl. I was hungry for input first thing in the morning; I would build a wall blocking my brother from view and search for a new paragraph that I could read over and over. The amount of times I read the ingredients and nutrition information in my lifetime has meant that I am far too familiar with the words niacin, thiamin and riboflavin. As for the recommended serving size of 30g – that is one of those pathetic Kellogg’s variety pack boxes, my portion size is closer to the entire box set of 8.
At school when asked the obligatory playground question, “If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?”
‘jam tarts’ ‘crisps’ ‘chicken nuggets’ ‘sherbert dibdabs’… no, I thought carefully and chose cereals – ‘As long as I could have all the variants I would be happy as could be.
But over the years my irritable gut has rejected cereal after cereal, Shreddies, Shredded wheat, Alpen, Weetabix. If, after a bowl of one of these wheat infested brands I was to experience even the slightest discomfort or the tiniest of ‘pops’ then it was struck off the list. And now because I have worked myself into a fibre fearful frenzy I trust only my less gluteny cereals, in other words Kellogg’s Cornflakes and Rice Krispies – I even take a mobile box (500g instead of 1kg) out in the car with me to work with a plastic bowl and milk so that I can stop in a layby and sit chomping whilst staring into space.
Like Mel Gibson and his Catcher in the Rye obsession in Conspiracy Theory I have a compulsion to buy Kellogg’s Cornflakes whenever I pass a supermarket. I can‘t bear the thought that I might run out, or not get a full, mixing bowl, bowl for my next meal.
But it has to be Kellogg’s. In the news recently a man had gone around the world eating Cornflakes in every country – eating ‘home’ branded cornflakes in every country – traitor. I won’t eat an inferior brand - stale, cardboardy, synthetic - getting through a 30g bowl of a competitor requires throat massage to encourage peristalsis, my oesophagus recognising and rejecting the imposter.
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2276523/Man-spends-36-80...
So like the Slimfast adverts:
“I have Cornflakes for breakfast, Cornflakes for lunch and a proper dinner – as long as it’s bland.”
But I also have an issue with wolfing my food. It is nothing to do with fear that the rest of the pack will steal it, or lack of time. . . truth is that while I’m eating I love that sensation of piling in delicious mouthful after delicious mouthful, enjoying a mouth literally FULL of something, gorging on sensations. That is something a diminutive, elegant, partial forkful slipped neatly between minutely parted lips just cannot equal. I also hate letting food get cold – when I’m cooking the food is tipped straight out of the sizzling pan, lugged out of the oven and upended onto the plate whilst lip-scorchingly hot. Meanwhile t’other half likes to spend twenty minutes making pretty rice castles and resting meat before creating an oriental fan shape so that the finished article looks beauteous but is at very best lukewarm. My platefuls come out searing hot and hideously ugly.
When pudding is ready, we dish it out in the kitchen together adding the desired accompaniments; ice cream, cream, more cream, custard etc, and each choosing our special spoons, I then head into the living room first as I am not arranging my food a la Masterchef. He follows moments later and by the time he has arrived and settled in his sunken bum print on the sofa I have finished my pudding and the bowl sits scraped and barren whilst he is yet to dip his spoon.
I have a massive problem when enjoying a ‘day out’ in that there is almost nothing I can eat in the daytime that won’t cause issues. Once I have a stomach lined with alcohol then all the rules change and I can safely gorge on most things but, much as I like alcohol, my rule is no booze before tiffin time – 5 o’clock, or 4 o’clock if I’m depressed. I can’t very well take Cornflake filled Tupperware with me so if I go into London for a romantic day out it inevitably ends with a stalemate on a Bridge, staring out numbly into the shitty water while he berates me because I wouldn’t eat from any of the Moroccan/Ethiopian/Punjabi street food stalls.
Which has led me to wonder if I am alone in this, is there a market out there for ‘safe’ food that can be eaten on dates with no digestive repercussions?
Typically the kind of food you get in places that couples go to is man food, that is why it is called the Men – u.
It’s all hog roasts and pulled things. Congealed blood and gristle on a bed of flatulence, deconstructed goat intestines knitted into a scotch egg bonnet, served on a paving slab.
Women on dates look down the MEN-U with panic whilst maintaining flirty nonchalance, “Oh there’s so much to choose from!” in fake delight “It might take me a while to decide, why don’t you order us another drink while I read through the menu.”
“f**k, f**k, f**k.”
Instead of a myriad of lovely plates of food they see:
Farty
Farty
Makes me bloated
Smelly breath
Stuck in teeth
Repeats on you
Burpy
Too heavy
Messy to eat
I can’t eat that, I had one as a pet!
I want to set up a restaurant that women can go to on first dates, it would be called ‘Bland’ and nothing on the menu would be offensive, either to her or to him – because although he won’t care that his badly disguised half swallowed belches have a putrid stench of rotting burgers after every champagne burp, she will.
showed up to a SlimFast Style event hosted by Rachel Hunter in L.A. yesterday wearing a usual tight dress. She was definitely trying to show the world her curves
(EXPLORED???? You people are crazy!!! But thank you!!)
[Added to 52 Weeks Of Feeling Fit as well. I haven't been this energized, hyper, confident, goofball-ish in ages. I'm telling you people, Karaoke is the new wonder drug...]
As a grade school child, I was teased unmercifully about the size and shape of my cranium. To the point where, when Senora Fernandez (mother to my twin classmates Miriam and Mildred), began to teach us basic Spanish once a week, Buddy Saunders and Bruce Kimball switched from calling me "egg head" and just used the more efficient "juevos".
Baffled, BAFFLED I have always been as to why neither Ma, Dad nor my teacher Mrs. Gates did not give me some props by at least saying God had made my head larger than normal so as to fit all the extra knowledge He wanted to instill in me.
But even then, I was knocking on the door of being brilliant. So i guess they figured, why state the obvious to the child?
So here I am, X years later, complete with SALT AND PEPPER GOATEE (wtf???) at Sunday last's karaoke attempting a fedora shot - with borrowed chapeau - for the fedora group (read: cult) inspired by Jason. Said headpiece in fact belongs to someone you'll soon see in the stream.
But in the meantime, before me and the horns blow everybody off the stage, herewith a couple of dedications.
DEDICATION I To Dreamy (trust me: NOT my term for him. Check with Daynna and Tapper.....) Jason , of course. He wears a meaner fedora than I. His abs make Michelangelo want to rise from the dead to redo his David; my abs are being used in a SlimFast "Before" picture. He shoots MUCH better pictures than I. AND WITH ALL THAT GOING FOR HIM....
he's still not MO. So with a pinch of his cheek followed by a gentle slap, I say to him, "Who loves ya, Baby? Hang in there kid..."
DEDICATION II To the charming couple Paguma and TheLadyMargaret . Pags gets props for doing a 365 devoted exclusively to Floyd the Beagle, who rocks a fedora AND sunglasses at the same time. I want that pooch in my backup band. Mags did a shot yesterday that most assuredly will be used in any video remake I do of this Joe Cocker classic.
DEDICATION III To, of course, Mo - hey, that's ME!! Big head, small hat and all, I STILL make this shit look happening....
Let's do this thing.....
.........................HORNS!!!..........................
You Can Leave Your Hat On
as performed by Joe Cocker (and equally well by Mo on any given karaoke night, I might add...)
(written by Randy Newman. Who'd a thunk it...?)
Baby take off your coat
Real slow
Take off your shoes
I'll take off your shoes
Baby take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Go over there, turn on the light
Hey, all the lights
Come over here, stand on that chair
Yeah, that's right
Raise your arms up in the air
Now shake 'em
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
Sweet darling, (you can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
Baby, (you can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
(You can leave your hat on)
(You can leave your hat on)
Suspicious minds are talkin'
They're tryin' to tear us apart
They don't believe in this love of mine
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
Yeah, I know what love is
There ain't no way
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
(You can leave your hat on)
Give me the reason to live
(You can leave your hat on)
You can leave your hat on
I know we all look rather demure with our cute smiles and laid back posture but it all soon changed once the food appeared. But then that's what happens after spending a month drinking nothing but glasses of slimfast in pursuit of the figure you can never have. Where would we be without Indian restaurants.
I chowed down hardcore on some Honey Nut Cheerios. I haven't eaten real food in a couple days; I've been drinking Ensure and Slimfast instead. I decided to have some cereal, and ended up eating three bowls of Cheerios with strawberries and a banana chopped on top. It was delicious, but now the top of my mouth is all scratched up.

I walked & exercised in the multi-purpose room at the Senior Center before eating (well, drinking a Slimfast), and playing dominoes (Chickenfoot) with 7 friends. Then I drove to The Hair Clinic. When I arrived home, I was happy to see that Jim had arrived home from Jacksonville & had brought pizza from Marcos! I ate 4 pieces (thin crust).
Display of celebrity slimming stuff at the local pharmacist (!). The single blue box in the corner is celebrity slimfast for him.
I went to Range of Motion at LIR. Then I sat for 2 hours at the Senior Center. While there I worked on my LIR Photo Journey that I’ll be presenting next month. Finally it was time for line dance. I had drunk my Slimfast & Hot/Spicy V-8 juice. A friend gave me a serving of Blueberry Cobbler that she baked at the center. It was still hot!
Today is the first day of summer......2011. It's a typical day for me. While eating breakfast, I watched The Travel Channel and then took a walk in my yard in South Georgia, USA noticing all the greenery and sunlight. Then I drove into Valdosta for line dance class at the Senior Citizen Center. While looking around, I found a group playing Chickenfoot with dominoes; so, I joined them and drank my Slimfast for lunch. Next I drove out to Stone Creek community and joined a water aerobics class in the swimming pool there. Finally I drove home and ate a Wendy's Apple-Pecan Chicken Salad that my husband had brought for me. We watched the first episode of "Wives and Daughters" on a Netflix DVD. He chopped some onion and yellow squash which I stewed for future meals. As I watched "America's Got Talent," I played "Words with Friends" with a friend in Florida, read a chapter of Cranford on my Kindle app, and read a chapter of the Bible all on my iPhone4. To end the evening I downloaded the videos and photos that I'd taken during the day and uploaded to Flickr.

It has been raining a lot, and it was raining this morning when I left the house. I wondered how many "seniors" would come out to my class at Learning in Retirement. Well, one person did show. I taught her two things: how to change some settings on my camera and how to use Aviary to edit a picture. She actually took this photo of me when I was showing the difference in using flash and no flash.
Since I had forgotten to bring a SlimFast for lunch, I stopped at Family Dollar and bought a box of "Fiber One" peanut butter/chocolate bars (140 calories-35 fat calories). I drove on to the Senior Center and sat down in the Game Room to eat the bar and drink some water. Then I participated in Beginner's Line Dance class at the Senior Center with Becky & Caroline. Since it was still raining, I texted Laura, my water aerobics teacher, to find out if class was cancelled. She said it would be if there was thunder & lightning. There wasn't any.
Then I drove to the country club's fitness center and worked out on the machines, bicycle, and elliptical with Billy directing my workout. Next I drove to the Student Recreation Center at Valdosta State University. While I was driving I wondered how many 80-year-old students would show up at class. After reading the sign that the recreation center would close at 5:30 PM, and before changing into my swimsuit, I poked my head into the room with the swimming pool. No one was in the pool, but Laura was there waiting for students to arrive. We agreed that I should change. She directed my water aerobics workout, and we had a great conversation about mutual concerns.
Then I drove home in the rain. When I got home, there was a message on my answering machine stating that water aerobics was cancelled. Too bad they didn't call my cell phone or tell the teacher! She and I agreed (through texting) that we enjoyed the class any way.
Jim had brought pizza for dinner, and I felt it was a good day!
Later my sister called to tell me that Mother is having difficulty walking. She needed medical help but refused to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. The EMT's had her sign a paper stating that she refused transport. They did give her an oxygen treatment and checked her vital signs. Later my sister called to say that she'd talked to Mother, and she said she was not in any pain.
It almost looks like Martin Luther King Jr. is saying "NOW HOLD ON!" in this drawing of him for this ad for ... Drug Emporium.
Lookit at all that Lysol on sale. And No Nonsense!
I bet those tapes were on sale so people could record Gulf War coverage.

Artículo de "The Guardian"
LONDON - Slimfast has launched its summer campaign tempting British women to drop a bikini size by comparing them to 'stick thin' French, Spanish and Swedish models.
The fully integrated campaign, launched this week by Grey London, involves print and outdoor advertising as well as in-store displays and marks the first time that Slimfast has moved away from TV advertising.
The creative, which is now running in national press, women's weeklies and posters, includes images of thin continental models, with captions including, 'I love British women…they make me look great' and 'Face it British Women, its not last year's bikini getting smaller'.
Another image shows a group of curvier UK women - dressed in similar skimpy white outfits as the 'real women' used in the recent Dove commercial - defiantly pledging to 'fight' their European counterparts 'on the beaches'.
Kate Hudson, head of PR at Grey London, said: "We are not saying to women that they should be stick thin, like the European models just to drop a bikini size if that's what makes them feel comfortable. If you look at the British women in the ads they are curvy and look great."
The aim of the campaign is to encourage consumers to adopt the Slimfast 'Lets Bikini' plan , which involves purchasing products including ready meals, soups, bars and shakes.
Slim fast European brand director Emma Woods added: "The ads tap into the universal female fear of getting into a bikini each summer."
Freud Communications has also been brought in to handle PR, which involves Family Affairs actress and former Celebrity Fit Club contestant Nicola Dussett.
my maternal grandmother, rosemary o'brien
i think this photo was taken in 1965/1966.
she was born in 1925 and lived in memphis, tennessee until, at the age of 17, she married my grandfather, john t. o’brien, who was a ripe old 27.
together they had 8 children, which later resulted in numerous grandchildren.
she was an incredible woman-very elegant, kind, fashionable, wise, extravagant and practical all at once, and always a lady. granny was a gorgeous woman, both inside and out.
even with 8 children, she was always dressed to the nines and she loved to shop.
us grandkids called her granny, however, she didn’t look much like a granny.
my mom worked and i would stay at my grandparent's house sometimes if i was too sick to go to school but not sick enough for my mom to stay home.
at lunchtime, she would serve slimfast shakes. with turkey sandwiches and tomato soup.
she died in january 1995 at the age of 70.
My Dutch friends would be amused to see the Unilever Building in Toronto Canada.
So who's Unilever NV* / PLC*? It's an Anglo-Dutch or Dutch-Anglo maker of consumer products and foods. Their more famous brands include:
Becel (cream cheese)
Dove (soap)
Heartbrand (ice cream)
Hellmann's (mayo)
Knorr (soup base)
Lipton (tea)
Lux (more soap)
Ponds (face lotion)
Closeup (tooth paste to brush off the sandwich you ate that was made with Hellmann's mayo)
Slimfast (you feel so guilty after having eaten the Heartbrand ice cream)
Sunlight (detergent to wash off the Knorr soup you spilled on your pants)
Vaseline (for your adorable baby)
* PLC = Public Limited Company

First I attended a class in the computer lab at Learning in Retirement at Valdosta State University, "iPAD Tips and Tricks". The regular computer teacher was not present because she's just had surgery for breast cancer this month. A substitute came but could not connect her iPAD to the desktop because wires were missing. We as LIR students cannot connect to the university's wireless network. I was probably the only one in the room who could connect to the Internet by way of my Verizon WiFi connection. It took me and the substitute teacher to get some of the people to understand that they could not connect to the Internet. Anyway, some of the people left since they couldn't download iTunes to their iPAD. They rest of us who stayed just enjoyed sharing names of FREE APPs that we like to use. I learned about Finger Scan, Jump Desktop, Dragon (speech recognition), iBird South, and Pocket Pond.
Next I drove over to Publix to pick up a few groceries. Well, I got stopped for speeding by the Valdosta Police. I was careful to be very courteous to the officer. He asked me if there were a reason why I was going 43 in a 30 mph zone. I told him that I had not seen the Speed Limit sign. He took my driver's license back to his patrol car. He came back with my license and NO TICKET (Praise God!) and said, "The speed limit on W. Gordon is 30 mph." I said, "I did not know that, but I know it now." After I bought my groceries, I drove back the same way. Coming from the other direction, I saw the 30 mph sign, but there was NO sign coming from the other way. Across the next intersection, there was a 35 mph sign. If he had given me a ticket, I think I would have had a case. I'm glad he chose not to pursue it. Once again, "Praise God!" A speeding ticket can cost $100 and put a mark on my license.
After lunchtime, I attended The Women Rising class at LIR--drinking my SlimFast before class. It was lightly sprinkling rain most of the day. Next I drove over to the Senior Center and attended Line Dance Class for 45 minutes. It was good to have Becky home from New Jersey.
After Line Dance, I went to the Game Room at the Senior Center and played Chickenfoot (dominoes). It rained pretty hard while we were playing the game and slacked off by the time I left the center. I was happy to see Jim coming in with pizza after I got home. I ate too much!
Today is the first day of summer......2011. It's a typical day for me. While eating breakfast, I watched The Travel Channel and then took a walk in my yard in South Georgia, USA noticing all the greenery and sunlight. Then I drove into Valdosta for line dance class at the Senior Citizen Center. While looking around, I found a group playing Chickenfoot with dominoes; so, I joined them and drank my Slimfast for lunch. Next I drove out to Stone Creek community and joined a water aerobics class in the swimming pool there. Finally I drove home and ate a Wendy's Apple-Pecan Chicken Salad that my husband had brought for me. We watched the first episode of "Wives and Daughters" on a Netflix DVD. He chopped some onion and yellow squash which I stewed for future meals. As I watched "America's Got Talent," I played "Words with Friends" with a friend in Florida, read a chapter of Cranford on my Kindle app, and read a chapter of the Bible all on my iPhone4. To end the evening I downloaded the videos and photos that I'd taken during the day and uploaded to Flickr.
The optional theme is The Printed Word.
I did Chair Yoga at the Senior Center. Then I walked around the Multi-Purpose room. Next I drank my SlimFast & then played Chicken-foot with 8 ladies. I got my hair fixed at The Hair Clinic. After resting at home, Jim drove us in the sprinkling rain to Music Funeral Home for Visitation of Mrs Emily Ingram.

LONDON - Slimfast has launched its summer campaign tempting British women to drop a bikini size by comparing them to 'stick thin' French, Spanish and Swedish models.

My boy got these when trick or treating. He is ultra skinny so they were not sending a message. Haha.
