(pic) Dr. Oz

I used to like this phenomenal doctor before he became sensationalized, glorified and guru-esq. I don't know. I find simplicity is best. But he's still brilliant; I just can't stomach him as the talk show host type. Like the same sensational transition Dr. Phil went through.

Simplicity.

Don't try to reach the world, more intimacy is needed from docotrs of all practices. Since I've been ill, my favorite doctors are those with fewer patients, this way they can really research and dig into each patient's health. Yeah, they don't make as much money that way, but the quality of both the pateint and doctor is improved. So much for both to learn about the human body and the environment that affects it.

(pic) "Teach Kids to Turn Off TV, Computer" -Hartford Courant

Um...first you'll have to teach me how to turn off the computer! LOL! I'm not a TV fan, but the computer is my vice, just like C.O.F.F.E.E. YUMMY!

But...my son does more playing than TV watching. And he only uses the computer (with me!) for our library's wonderful online/animated book collection-I love it.

SO....i say....just spend quality time. And continue to love on your computer (I have NO opinion to TV). As for the kids (which this article is about! LOL!), put their asses outside! The end.

Hartford Courant: Budget Battle Continues In Special Legislative Session

Poor Chris looks worn out.

FYI: My mom works for the Capitol and gets front row seats for this tomfoolery. I used to work for The Office of Legislative Research before I fell ill the first time. Too much SILLY, GETTING NOWHERE stress at that job.

CT Weather September 25, 2009

YAY! Mother Nature has restored Connecticut's regularly seasonal weather. So crisp and clear is the air this time of year. Very cool against the cheek. And the little 80 degree heat wave was ruining the Fall Foliage, not good. So hopefully we're back on trackn which ultimately means winter is coming and my somewhat mild seasonal depression and cabin fever will ensue! But frick it, I HEArt CONNECTICUT. And the lowercase letters were on purpose.

Heart = heART

Oy Vey!

Let's just say that after my hospital stay, I have been ordered to take these three things twice a day. And laughter would be the best policy here, except it might subject me to pooping in my Depends diaper out in public--laughter and sneezing have become quite dangerous activities for me. That's life!

About hangovers, it says:
 
"Alcohol causes blood vessels in the brain to widen and can alter the effects of serotonin on nerve endings; alcohol can TRIGGER both migraine and cluster headaches."
 
Hmmmmm....this article doesn't mention C.O.F.F.E.E. at all! So I'll stay in denial and just keep sipping away...for now.

(pic) Sir-Another successful Montessori dropoff!

Now I just have to wait the hour out. Told him that if he has a good "day" (a whole friggin hour!) that we'd go to McDonalds and play on the playscape.
 
His Spanish speaking teacher escorted him from the car today. At this particular school, each classroom has a Spanish speaking teacher who only speaks Spanish to the kids. Even when she escorted him from the car, she only spoke Spanish. And this is when I get to use my Spanish skills that I gained from studying in Costa Rica, conversing with her in Spanish makes for a richer experience for Sir. At least I'm hoping that it does! LOL!

(pic) I'm thinking about taking this class at the library, sharpen my skills a bit!

The Class: Hand Mending Made Easy
 
And a sewing kit for ech participant will be provided. Not that I need one, but I love freebies. The class is only one hour. So I'm tryna figure out how much they can cover in that small amount of time. Who knows! But I'll be placing this free class on my schedule.
 
I love to get out and do things in my town. Especially events where I can almost guarantee that the atendees will be elderly. I love to listen to their unabashed wisdom that spews from their mouths without them even knowing it! LOL!

This Hartord Courant article is by Susan Cambell. Www.courant.com/CTLiving. Susan can be reached at scampbell@courant.com. Another link in the article is to www.ctfoodbank.org. The article states that: "We have enough food in this country to feed everybody...It's a matter of getting it to those people in a socially acceptable way so that people might choose what they would want when they want it."
 
HMMMM....."choose what they want when they want it"? That part is a loaded/complex statement and issue.
