Jimmy Carter said he wanted to live long enough to vote. Then he lived even longer. I wonder if he intentionally held out so that the flag would be flying half-staff on January 20th.

Thanks for the kind thoughts Jane and Freddie. I could always eat, but o just had to be careful as I felt something bad coming in that gets much worse if I don’t adjust my eating habits. And I do have the bad habit of reclining after meals. Can’t do that.

Now spaghetti, I can really get behind!

And the word of the day is: CROMULENT!

I remember that from Sunday in the Park with George!

Tales of Hoffman looks great to me. Also Leave Her to Heaven.

Lousy night of little sleep. I dreamt of riding horses.

Maybe we can set that horse dream to music. The (decidedly serious) show FAMILY MUSIC, which I co-wrote with the fabulous Marian Weiner, actually has a song that started with "Last night I dreamed of a grey horse, running across a cloudy sky"

"Run With Me" - at start of this Youtube

Very nice, Freddie.

Thanks, George.

The Powell-Pressburger movies all look great. Black Narcissus too

There was a time I would look at food and decide if I wanted to deal with the pain of GERD or IBS. Thankfully the medication I am on for GERD helps my IBS and I don't need to be as careful with food as often.

I have a friend who swore drinking lots of water cured her GERD, yet for me it seemed to make it worse. Natural black licorice helps but it also makes IBS worse. I had to give up milk chocolate and now appreciate dark chocolate more. Nestle chocolate really bothers me and now I use Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Dark Chocolate chips. Absolutely no carbinated drinks.

What foods do you find that make it worse?

singdaw · « **Reply #75 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:22:32 PM »

DR Jane, my DH started an Rx recently for GERD and has found it to be pretty effective. I don't know what it's called.

singdaw · « **Reply #76 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:23:03 PM »

Before that, it was TUMS after almost every meal.

We actually saw the sun for a little bit today, which was nice. I don't think the "feels like" has gotten above 0, however.

But I'll take that over snow.

I thought the sets, costumes, and "look" of the recent Wicked were pretty impressive.

I'm taking Protonix. I first one I tried didn't work and made my stomach hurt more than usual. Nothing completely stops bad GERD but the right one makes life better. The meds also got me off of my mostly Basmati diet I was on for my IBS. I can east Big Ass Salads again.

Tums just make me sick.

When it comes on, no particular food makes it worse. Maybe tomatoes. JohnG brought up a hiatal hernia, and a lot of the symptoms tracked. I really think it happens because I eat too quickly sometimes.

Rodzinski · « **Reply #88 on:** January 04, 2025, 02:50:14 PM »

I definitely stay away from low-quality chocolate.
