I just finished watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion show.  I don’t always get to watch a show the first time it comes on.  The hours I am in the room with the tv are typically between 11:00pm and 2:00am, so if the work in my lap is done and the remote control is close by, that is when I see what is on.  It took me a couple of weeks to be able to watch each episode of the show.  My first thought was: whatever happened to the real reality shows?

Wednesday, June 24, 2009.  A friend is planning to have hip replacement surgery next month, and I asked RC, someone who had the surgery several years ago, if he had any tips.  Both of them are very tall men.  RC said, “Yes, I do. I was given a list of items that would be useful for a person who is having a hip replacement.  The list and my comments are as follows: Continue reading →

Tuesday June 23, 2009. I just posted some of my delicious, low fat vegetarian fake meats and substitutes I like at the Goddess Grub website. Here’s what I wrote:

GODDESS GRUB TIP: While I mostly eat and prefer natural, unprocessed foods, there are times I crave a burger or meatballs or a hot dog.  Many of them are made from TVP, or texturized vegetable protein.  MMM, sounds yummy, huh?  The flavoring comes from the spices and other ingredients.  The TVP supplies protein, nutrients and the meaty texture we Westerners (Americans) have all grown up on.

Tuesday, June 23, 2009.  I saw the movie Idiocracy the other night.  The premise is that most average man in the military is used for a futuristic experiment which accidentally sends him 500 years into the future. When awoken, the man slowly comes to realize that he’s suddenly become the smartest man in the entire world.  I see the movie got mixed reviews, but I found it brilliant in its parody of conventional wisdom and the lemming mindset of an unknowing and uninformed public. Like that wacky and limited belief our folks and their folks used to have that we lead hard, miserable lives and then we die sick, disabled and alone.  That doesn’t have to be the case by any means and I’m seeing more and more evidence of that everyday.

Health insurance safety net? My experience is the only thing in charge of my health care is my vibrational stance.  Start your preventative program now. Eat healthy natural food. Let food be your medicine. Do some research. Nothing to excess. Move around, walk around the yard or the block every day.  In a few short years, you’ll have a new stronger, healthier body.  Think happy thoughts.  The best health insurance.

I  get a kick out of guys I’ve known for decades – who typically kinda ignore me – turning flirty when I wear a snug dress and makeup for a change – it’s just me in here, guys.

Sunday, June 21, 2009.  I just finished the July Horizons Magazine.  Yay, now I have time to play!  Wait, it’s 3:30am – where is everybody when I have time to play?  Right now, all I want to do it go eat some Monk’s Bread raisin toast with Earth Balance and honey and cinnamon on it, and then maybe sleep half the morning.  Enjoy your Sunday.

I just made the most amazing salad: chunk watermelon, diced tomato, sliced strawberries, some slivered red onion, fresh basil from the garden, chopped romaine and a little feta cheese. A few chopped calamata olives, olive oil, lemon and coarse ground pepper – yum!
