Frigid weather and snow
A Friday Hello to everyone at 6:55am CST zone. My weather is High 37F and low of 17F with snow of about and inch and a big temperature drop for the next week down to zeroF. At least I am not stuck inside with good weather. I am better today so I expect and hope that I am in the recovery mode. I am getting bored. Take care. Hugs and good wishes to everyone.

Yep its a real bummer when that happens. Its like every now and then your body has to show you who is boss. @roseinbloom Maybe you need to rest a few days before taking on the world once more 😘

Sounds like it may be a case for some old fashioned ‘feeling unwell’ favourite comfort food. Like Chicken Soup? Or whatever else you used to have when trying to keep snuggled and warm inside the blankets over the years… fighting off the cold and flu.

A Thursday Hello at 4:40am CST zone. My weather is high 26F and low 17F. This is normal January weather. I have the miseries of a cold and won’t be going anywhere any way. I cancelled three events. I am not the only one with a cold and it helps to know that. I hoped to feel better today but that didn’t happen. Take care everybody. Hugs and good wishes.

Booze, Exercise, and Colds
I just read an article titled “26 cold remedies” and a hot toddy, and wine were on the list and don’t know why beer was not on the list and those two were on the list. You still need exercise so you can bundle up and take a walk and take night time cold meds so you can get some sleep. I am sure you should not mix alcohol and cold meds. A…

I’m sure it’s a basic truth that alcohol and meds shouldn’t be mixed, and beer doesn’t really classify as part of a cold remedy I don’t think. Beer IS my alcoholic preference but I wouldn’t recommend it for that. A spirit drink possibly, or maybe a warming liqueur which might be sweeter in taste.

Having mentioned that alcohol and meds shouldn’t be mixed, most or if not all of us at a certain age will be on meds so by that rule we would also be complete Teetotalers – which clearly we don’t all want to be. So we use judgement to determine how much to drink instead. For most of us I think that works out fine.

Ultra Processed Food
I posted a list of foods not to eat or limit greatly Ultra processed food was mentioned and it helped me to focus on what ultra processes is and why it is so bad for us. It is full of bad chemicals. My little individual coffe creamers made my coffee all cruddy and I am returning them and plan never to buy them again. I looked at the…

The only milk I drink and have done for years is semi skimmed, as for coffee I rarely drink it but if I do have a cup it would be while I’m out and about as I don’t stock it,and It would have to be made with milk no water.food wise I know a few you tubers are on a diet of eggs and meat and one of them will only eat chicken.

It is easy to buy the wrong foods, easier and cheaper than buying healthier ones in many cases. Milk is relatively okay though, only being mildly processed and that’s obviously to make it safe for consumption. I’ll use whole milk or semi skimmed. I don’t mind either. Coffee I do like but not the fancy types. Filter coffee is my favourite but…

Happy to Have This Group
Amdreas, I am glad you started this group for this site.

Thanks Rose, i was beginning to think that perhaps we, after amassing so many years , have had enough of chewing on life’s secrets and just need to sit back to watch and listen. But no, maybe a good chew is as relaxing.
