Pineapple is great but can…contra indicate with some antibiotics and blood thinners.😍.
Mucal( apologies for the word) forming foods eg cheese yoghurt etc definitely best avoided with colds and coughs.

Also those coughing may know that if when you feel a cough coming you can raise your arms above your head it opens up the lungs. Naturally we want to curl in and crush them.
I’m not a doctor but have many family members with arthritis. The pain is excruciating and I am sorry Tattlers who are enduring this.
Red wine, red meat and caffeine are best avoided but sometimes we just want to have some fun and not think about ailments.
It is sad or possibly tragic that fan has become engaged to someone who rather look after her and keep her fit and active is doing all the wrong things and causing her stress exhaustion and ultimately misery. Encouraging her to be lazy as he is , lying in bed for hours, sitting in the car for hours, eating poor food and little fresh food and heavy drinking. They are never seen walking, swimming just tip toeing through her woods and no that is not an euphemism!
The things in life that make us happy are not things!
I have been thinking ( oh no!😳).
Do you all remember when Selmar mentioned that fan was more infatuated with Snorts than he was with her? ( no duh 🤦)
Well, I just wonder, if after all their traipsing around Europe, picking up the crap ( and it usually IS crap that Snorts stupidly buys at auctions) and paying for it all plus storage fees, that she FINALLY checks the cost on her charge cards and realizes how much he manipulates and costs her? But because she fears one of his sulky, controlling baby fits if she stops his spending, spending, spending, she just she "eats it", puts her head in the sand, talks herself into believing he loves her " for her" and not the money and lazy lifestyle she gives him...and goes to bed in a funk? Like reality is observed for a split second and she cant deal? I mean fan does NOT deal with reality.
Then as usual, Snorts acts like a good boy, bringing her tea...peas...applesauce...she gets his attention again...and then BOOM....lets do it all again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Not a healthy heterosexual relationship in any way.
I think she is in bed with a cold brought on by depression.
Remember her crabby, witchy, sad, mad demeanor when Selmar played his stupid bongo drums in the garden for an eternity? And Potty sat by her like he was worried that she was going to explode in some way, but was probably used to her manic swings from high to loooow? I bet that is her normal. Way high. Then....to bed she goes.

Puts the glitter back in the glitter drawer, oh well.
Last year I got a Wedding Invitation where the envelope was filled with glitter, damn stupid idea if you ask me, all over floor, my jumper, my hands. Happy to say the Wedding itself was great and a glitter free zone !

I hadn’t had one either until I couldn’t find fevertree elderflower tonic.

French Gimlet:
  • 2 parts Empire Indigo Gin
  • 1 part St. Germain elderflower liqueur
  • .5 part fresh lime juice
Shaken over ice and strained into a glass.

The stemware is just Minton Tiffin-Franciscan. It’s nothing special, but it is pretty. Thank you. 💕
I love pink and gold together.
Can you believe I have never had Gin before?
And my sister and dad loved Gin and tonics!

I didn’t realise that there were any of “the world’s greatest ateliers” In the back streets of Mumbai or Shenzen. Oh and I fixed your punctuation pugsly, you’re welcome. 👍

Do you know which ep that is? Poor old Selmar, I loved him spilling the beans or the tea as the youngsters say!

You would be surprised if you actually start trying to build a family tree. Also, you can upload your DNA to Ancestry and then import it to a site called “my true ancestry.com” and it will match you your DNA to archaeological samples and you would be amazed who you share DNA with. That’s one of the reasons why my profile photo is Marie Antoinette.
Absolutely my GGG grandmother was Félicite Josephine, born in Versailles hence my user name too 🙂

He obviously loves his dog. Points from me.

His tote board is still in the minus, though, mostly due to his running deception with Cuz. 😒
He loves his dog so much, that when he fist moved to lala land he left two dogs behind , not sure who.had them ( I assumed mamma and pappa, or maybe an ex) left them.behind for a year or more. Shortly after he brought them to France one of them died ( old age I think) . I would never be able to leave my dogs behind, they have so few years with us. He certainly gushes over Mollie now.

You are of not only sound mind.. but body. Good for you. I am much older and fight lots of aches and pains from old injuries. Take care of your body and don't lose that muscle ❤
Thank you for the kind words @Mr Magoo ❤ . Sending some warm Florida weather your way!

I've a good 12 year on Madame Rex. When I was 50 I did way more than fan does.

Waiting 10 years before they would do my knee replacement, didn't do me any favours as my mobility went down and down.

Having to work at it now.
I had two lateral releases on both my knees in my 20s and a TTT (Fulkerson Osteotomy) on my right at 30. The TTT was no joke- I didn't follow my Ortho's advice because I didn't feel it was progressive enough, so amped up the physio and mobility on my own. It was painful as hades, but I was hell-bent on my recovery. I remember seeing him at the 4-month mark- he was impressed by my progress and I begged him to please let me run. "You know you are not supposed to start running again until month 6, but fine, I'll let you have a little taste. I'll clear you to run one quarter of the way around a track." I heard this as, "You can run a quarter MILE." Little did I realize, since I had just re-learned to walk, that I had to re-learn to run as well. That sucked. But I was back to running marathons at the one year mark because I refused to give up.

That knee is still going strong, but my left is on the final countdown to an actual replacement. I'm only allowed to run 20 miles a week, so I speed walk as well.

Jack, one of the things that really helps me (besides icing that knee) is yoga and pilates. It's low impact and helps build up your muscles, which will help stabilize your new knee. I also started adding a scoop of collagen powder to my coffee every morning. It took a few months, but has really made a difference. Hang in there- you know your body and limitations better than anyone. ❤

I’ve always been fit, played basketball till I couldn’t anymore, boxed, yoga and gym. I’ve hit my mid 60’s and I now have severe arthritis, knees are bone on bone so my pain level is high, the only exercise I can do now is swimming which is still very painful.

A lot of my arthritis is genetic but I also blame it on basketball, I was playing at a very high level and after some games I felt very beaten up. I also played comp squash which is not great for your knees when you’re nearly 6 feet tall.

Anyway I feel like I did all the right things to set me up for my later years but it hasn’t worked out that way. Knee replacements next and I still have arthritic spine , neck, feet and hands lol

Btw I’m not feeling sorry for myself because things could be worse but I will say arthritis sucks. And I really enjoyed my years playing basketball so it was not wasted.
You are my spirit animal @Ladeda1957 ! I'm 5'11" and have always played sports. Sometimes, I feel like I am falling apart as injuries take longer to heal and every time I have to go for an X-ray or CT scan (tore the labrum in my right shoulder last year), I get a "Surprise! You have arthritis as well!"

It's not fair. Sending you hugs and love. ❤

I was inspired by your lovely idea & this beautiful picture of Filth. Here’s a special edition bespoke tile in the style of Skidmark’s pretend upcoming kitchen backsplash. I hope tartlets will use it in their own homes for a kitchen, bathroom or fireplace renovation or as a unique coaster for their fancy Christmas wine. Available here on tattle as a complimentary screenshot or in my Zazzle store for $150,000 / €127,513.05.

Look what One Trick Potty is baking up!
I wonder if Potty's pick up line is "Do you wanna come up and see my sour dough starter?"
