And the word of the day is: BRIGADOON!
I have to join DR FJL in the Corner of Shame. I didn’t know it was a common noun, either. However, in our meager defense, to the extent I’ve checked, it seems that its origin is indeed the musical.
Today before we hunker down for the storm, we’re stopping at a friend of a friend’s bookstore for a reading by Victoria Price of her new book. I shall take along my copy of her biography of her dad, which is in excellent condition, and ask her to sign it.
And the word of the day is: BRIGADOON!
Even t my age, something enchantjng to learn here on HHW - I had no idea this was a actual word
Need to trim the roses this morning.
Need to trim the roses this morning.
In my morning stupor that sounded like a euphemism for something perhaps a little unseemly.
It’s shocking how late I got to sleep in this morning: till 9:20 in the a.m. Shocking, I tell you. But so delicious. Best sleep I’ve had all the livelong week.
I haven't made a meatloaf in so long I don't remember how much of an effect the tomato sauce or ketchup has.
Here's what I do know: I could eat a pound of meatloaf right now. Does that help?
Good morning. My daughter and I returned from a whirlwind trip to Disneyland last night. We spent three very full days away from reality. Five, when you consider we didn't take computers with us or watch tv in the motel.
It is so much more fun since she tried the roller coasters and LOVES them. We rode them several times. My fitbit recorded over 30,000 steps each day.

I got tired of waiting, so I found the year of passing for 13 of my 27 classmates who have shuffled off the mortal coil.....
The men's free skate was most excellent last night.....Nathan Chen rose from 17th place to 1st place where he stayed for quite awhile....he ended up in 5th place which is still quite an accomplishment. Looking at the numbers, if he had had a good short skate, he would have probably had a medal.
I used to make a really good pizza meatloaf. I put pepperoni, sliced olives, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese in it.

Oh, I'm bad. I'm so bad. What's worse ..... I'm here all week!
My sister and my niece are supposed to go to Eastern Washington to visit my great nephew. The weather people are predicting 1 to 2 feet of snow in the passes during the next 24 hours. Hopefully, they will change their minds about going.

At the supermarket toda, there was a sale on Sundae Parlor ice cream. Vanilla ice cream with chocolate and caramel ribbons, salted peanuts and cherries. Very nice at the price.

Are you sure a few of them didn't just go to Buffalo, DR Jrand67? :)
They all looked like total idiots.
I, of course, was the model of proper and civilized comportment.

Has anyone read any of Lilian Jackson Braun's "Cat Who . . ." mysteries?

I was going to suggest that Jane could make it and leave out the pepperoni; but, I guess, she would also have to leave the meat out of the loaf.

Vixmom, as someone who gets tachycardic from time to time, I definitely recommend that you see a cardiologist. Your condition is worse than mine, but I also will pass on what works for me: 100-200 mg magnesium plus 99 mg of potassium, taken with a glass of water. The doctors I'd seen failed to mention the importance of both minerals to heart health and I wasn't satisfied with the "If you don't like the symptoms, take the meds" attitude of one of the UCLA cardiologists. This formula has never failed me. It was, in fact, a cardiologist who told me about the potassium and a large glass of water. I was already taking magnesium for a rapid heart rate, which usually takes care of it for me on its own. Since I'd rather not get tachycardic in the first place, I now make sure I take both magnesium and potassium in small doses throughout the day. Magnesium also got rid of my migraines. I told an osteopath I know and now she takes it and got rid of her migraine.
I also recommend Stephen Sinatra's book, "The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology."
Vibes you get it under control quickly.

Wonderful. I haven't been in years. Are you saying your daughter, just this trip, tried the roller coasters? :o

On our last ride on The Matterhorn, her screaming behind me struck me as being very funny and I got the giggles. I laughed hysterically all the way down the mountain.

Thank you Jeanne, where do you get the magnesium and potassium? I already take vitamins very day that are supposed to give me 100% of all requirements

Nutritional requirements vary greatly from person to person. The levels the government quotes are usually the very lowest needed to stay alive--not provide optimum health. Plus, stress depletes certain nutrients, especially magnesium and the B vitamins.
I like Source Naturals Ultra Mag because it contains five types of magnesium. Some forms are fast-acting, others slower. Each has its own pros and cons. 200 mg per tablet.
I also like Source Naturals Mag Citrate, 133 mg per tablet. A less expensive form.
Do not buy 400 mg tablets, as it too much at once (for the gut) for most people. It can give you loose stools.
I'm currently using NOW Potassium Citrate 99 mg/capsule.
There are many other brands available. I use Vitacost.com, as they have great prices, lots of sales and promos, and a huge selection.
Please, please, please see the cardiologist. As Jane mentioned, they'll probably ask you to wear a Holter monitor for 24-48 hours. This is necessary to pick up intermittent heart issues. Mine never showed up on an EKG, but did show up on the Holter. It's not uncomfortable to wear, but plan accordingly as you can't shower or bathe while wearing it. (One of the things the doctors didn't mention!) If your problem is intermittent like mine you may find that adjustments to your diet or supplements mean that you either don't need the powerful heart drugs or you can get along quite well on a lower dose. And if you have a deficiency of either magnesium or potassium you'll benefit in other ways by correcting it.
One more thing: most doctors use a CBC to check magnesium levels, but magnesium isn't stored in the blood, so it's not an accurate indicator. Try taking a bit more and see if you feel better. Brown rice is an excellent source of magnesium. Carolyn Dean's book The Miracle of Magnesium is a very easy read.

Back in my early post-college days, I somehow came across a volume called Essentials of Proctology Illustrated. It became a coffee table book for awhile, something to sit a plate of hors d'oeuvres next to.
I need to feed my cat, take a shower, feed myself, get dressed, go in to work for a bit (not to work, I want to scan a score), then pick up my niece and go to my parents' for our weekly family dinner. My sister has other plans, so she won't be there, but we'll have food and fun and Phase 10 will be played. :D
Be back later!
Good night, George.

I came in and told Vixdad to keep an eye on me, settled into the recliner and tried to self regulate, it finally slowed back down after 45 minutes but one if these bouts exhausts me... Feel as if I've run a marathon

Perhaps I should spin off Furball into a mystery series.
Tonight we watched an episode of The Barbara Stanwyck Show. Keith found it on YouTube. The film was backwards. Fortunately there weren't too many shots with writing to read.
