You Are What You Drink

You have probably heard the old saying “You are what you eat?” Well, it is true, but “You are what you drink” also!

National Nurse Practitioner Week
Did you know that a nurse practitioner (NP) can examine, diagnose, prescribe, treat, counsel and educate you on healthcare needs? NPs are different from other healthcare providers – they focus on the whole person when treating specific health problems and they educate their patients on the effects those problems will have on them, their loved ones and their communities. NPs have been providing primary care in the U.S. for more than 40 years. They are graduates of master’s, post-master’s or docto… Continue

Is Smoking Worse for Women?
Two recent small studies revealed that women may be more vulnerable to the carcinogens and other dangerous substances in cigarette smoke. In these studies, women who smoked were diagnosed at a younger age with lung cancer and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) than men who smoked. The women even smoked LESS than the men in the studies. In 2000, more women died from COPD as compared to men according to Dr. DeMeo, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and… Continue

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
