.-= Randi´s last blog ..Happy Friday =-.
Thanks! Isn’t Modern Family a hoot?!?
Wish I were there to give you the hug! (Notice you did not hear me say “fix the pipes!) I wish someone would for you, though!
I just have to recommend this book to you. It’s called the Gerson Method. It is run by Charlotte Gerson, 81-yr-old daughter of Dr. Max Gerson. It is a method of nutrition that he started because of disabling headaches that side-lined him for a couple of years. There is even a documentary out now that I just watched a couple of nights ago called, The Gerson Miracle. It’s worth considering. I know people who have done this and modified it slightly. The major side-effect has been curing many cancers. Consequently, that became their focus.
Just something that may help? I know headaches are debiliting when they are chronic and I pray for your complete recovery from all your pain, sweet friend!
.-= Robynn’s Ravings´s last blog ..Lilly Livered =-.
You are so sweet!! I will check out the Gerson Method. I haven’t heard of it, I appreciate the thoughts! You rock!
Boy, you like drama! In your TV shows, at least.
For more humor (I *love* Modern Family!!) you’ve got to watch Community – it makes me laugh almost as much as MF. Also, Cougar Town – hilarious!
For some drama with comedy, Men of a Certain age is really funny, but sometimes makes me tense up. And Chuck is a good mix of mostly funny with some drama.
Can you tell I prefer comedy? I need more reasons to laugh, not to cry (or get scared).
I love comedy! Starr and I have been enjoying Men of a Certain age too…although it hits really close to home sometimes. Which may be the point. I will have to check out Community and Cougar Town.
I love Chuck, Starr hates it, so I have to watch it when she isn’t here. Thank goodness for the DVR!
Love it…I’m going to try and i bet it wasn’t easy to do!
.-= JLO´s last blog ..I’m totally a dog lover! =-.
I liked yours! And you changed it up, I didn’t think about doing that…I will next time!!
I enjoyed reading your eights and learning a bit more about you =)
I wish I could give you a real hug, but here is a virtual {{{HUG!}}} Have a lovely weekend & happy VGNO
Thank for the hug! Virtual ones are nice too!
It is the sad truth… Liars tend to continue lying.
Modern Family has started being one of our favorite sitcoms to watch!
.-= JAM (Just A Mom)´s last blog ..Everyone’s talking about it. =-.
: ) We are just loving that show!! Great stuff.
Opps, I left my comment for this post on your previous one!
I had just mentioned that I used to work for the Bisetti’s in Highlands Ranch until it was sold. I love finding fellow coloradan bloggers!
Happy VGNO and have a wonderful weekend!
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..It’s Friday and VGNO!!!! =-.
Hi! I haven’t “met” many Colorado bloggers yet, it is a pleasure to meet you!!
So on your “winter” list…babe, seriously, a MATTRESS PAD WARMER. Not the same thing as an “electric blanket.” Every single person I know who has purchased one, adores them. Just think….heat from beneath you….ahhhhh. Turn it on high at nine…climb into heaven at ten. Going on sale soon. (chuckle) I despise winter. But with my warmer and bath and body’s “coconut, lime & verbena” line…I will make it till spring!
.-= Chantel´s last blog ..Onions =-.
A mattress pad warmer?! That actually sounds pretty darn lovely!! I will have to check it out. Thanks!!
Spring will come…
Another good meme I’m going to have to “steal”. Are you enjoying the new 24 so far?
.-= Kimberly´s last blog ..Luck or Divine Intervention? =-.
Hmm. I am easy to please, so I don’t have any major complaints about 24 so far this season. I did just read a “jeer” about Freddy Prinze Jr and his ability to be convincing in this role…I think they may have a point.
Steal away!! I’d love to read your lists.
We watch the same TV shows!!!
I NEED some new clothes, in particular a collared royal blue shirt for work. TODAY, the new dress codes starts tomorrow!
I love your lists. I could use a hug too! Not enough of those~
