Weird Question

[Annihilator]

Yes, I get down every year since 1989 when my mom passed away a month before Christmas…. been a long time, but I feel the same every year.

I don't think any of our family & friends that have passed want us to be sad about their passing, but want us to remember the good times we had with them.

Try ginger , ginger ale, ginger candy, anything ginger helps with the chemo nausea. They even used to give it out when my wife took chemo. Another thing is use plastic utensils for eating. Thst gets rid of the metallic taste they often get when trying to eat.

Try all sorts of different foods. When my mother in law had cancer we found the thing she ate best were refried beans fron taco bell. Anything for sone protein in her. With my dad when he had it it was starkist tuna with duke's mayo.

The plastic utensils helped all three of them with the metallic taste.

Prayers sent your way.

Thanks, will discuss your suggestions with the wife.

beginning shortly after the ridiculous fall time change.

That's about the time mine starts. I wish the would do away with DST.

I will say the time change usually messes with my head, not sure how to describe my feelings but the fall back time change is worse than the spring ahead.

I'm glad that people have mentioned the issues with SAD. It's a real thing. I have to force myself into more activity to resolve it. I always try to keep in mind something I read that was attributed to Lao Tzu:

If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.​

 

[Lo-Profile]

I've spent most of my life alone.
Other than a stray/feral cat that lives here sometimes.
I'm good with that.

The ginger ale really helped also made homemade tacos w/refried beans. She was able to eat the tacos without throwing up. Thanks again.

Sunshine. Get a convertible and just drive around. Even in Missouri, there are enough sunny days in November to just get out and enjoy the sunshine.

It was sunny today. Chilly in the shade though.

It is getting cool here as well. But the sunshine is worth it. I get blue without it!

We are practically neighbors! Columbia for me...small world. Here it is the World Wide Web, and I am just down the road from you.
