Good afternoon!
Comments (13)Mamma Pinky, No, he can not eat anything very thin, so he says. He can not get it in his mouth, will not use a smoothy straw even for that. Won't eat any other kind of cooked cereal, won't eat mashed potatoes with lots of gravy or broth to make it smoother. He will eat puddings, sometimes with small pieces of cake soaked into it. Won't eat any Jello. Will eat candied sweet potatoes with lots of syrup and mashed well. I do put eggs, milk, butter, bananas, cheese and such at different times in his oatmeal just to vary it. I don't even know if he tastes his food. Sometimes ice cream on top of the oatmeal. He does eat applesauce and he gets 4 nutritional drinks a day. Drinks some water and that is it. This has been going on for 3 years now. He has gotten worse since the stroke, because he would not continue his speech therapy. Speech and swallowing are sort of linked together, the muscles that is. So, that is the way it is. His speech is so terrible, most of the time I can not understand him. This was his second big stroke. He can not maneuver stairs very well, so twice a day I carry his meals up to him. He only wants to eat twice a day. We live in a bi level home, my kitchen, dining room and family room are down below. Living room and bedrooms up on the upper level, which is also ground level. I am sure there are many on here that have had to deal with a stroke patient. It also affects the mind.

Comments (7)Chilly and rainy here. It puts me in the mood for cooking. I might even figure out what we'll have for Thanksgiving. I assume everyone would prefer to have tasty stuff, not boring "diet" food, but l know how I get when something gets in my mind, so I have been avoiding thinking about it. . I keep trying not to buy any more seeds (new ones. Likely to geminate, unlike those seeds I sent you Nicole!), but I'm not succeeding. And they haven't even come out with next year's seeds. Well, Pinetree (SuperSeeds) sent me a catalog, but other sites still say "sold out". Is it time to see them blooming yet? I mean outside of my imagination. . Had a bowl of pork stew and watched to see who would be playing Austin and Buzzy on Jeopardy tomorrow. Any of them would've been good, so I was happy with the outcome. And Tom's final answer. It made me smile. I'm still smiling over it....See MoreGood afternoon!
Comments (12)Good afternoon :-) Great find Nicole. DH brings not very exciting stuff home for me like fence material and things like that. Much appreciated but not very fancy even though it is free :-) he gets it on his job sites. When they are throwing stuff away they ask him if he wants it. I'm here having pizza with my husband. well sort of. he got a business call so I'm talking to you. My view outside the window is one of a traditional Vancouver gray rainy day. You can see me often with whole over layer of wool, hat, gloves, sweater, with a down vest,. Also a thin Merino wool underlayer which you can't see of course, and wool socks. I walk dogs as part of my living so wool keeps me warm even when I'm wet. I have to go and make a call about my accounting software today yuck. Then it's time to make chicken curry dinner. Happy Thursday all :-)....See Moregood afternoon, just wanted to know what is wrong with my money plant
Comments (3)Looks like mealy bugs and/or scale. Wipe off as much as you can and spray. Quarantine from other plants, unless all your plants are infested. Since scale (if it is scale) has a waxy shell that resists pesticides, you may have to repeat. With persistent wiping, you can eliminate either pest, but it requires wiping every part of the plant where they are. Not too hard in plants with a few big leaves (I successfully cured an Amaryllis), tough in plants with many leaves and stems. Look up mealy bugs and scale and look at your leaves with a magnifying glass, because diagnosis via the internet is uncertain....See More
