weekend update

[davidfcooper]

Yesterday after shul we went gift shopping for our soon to be 5 year old twin nieces who will receive junior scrabble, a jewelry kit, a tethered soccer ball (for kicking practice), and a multiple game set. After that we went grocery shopping at the Flatbush Food Co-op, and then went out for dinner at Jack's Fifth Avenue which was quite good and an easy walk from our home (Shosh had honey glazed grilled salmon and I had grilled tilapia--both with black bean salsa & sweet potatoes, but mine had mangoes too). The food was delicious; we'll be back.


This afternoon we went down to the old civil war era waterfront warehouse where Shosh's next exhibit opens on Saturday 5/13 for a final walk through. The exhibit includes much very strong work, and I recommend it to anyone within driving distance of Brooklyn (info at http://bwac.org ). When we got home I organized a vitamin/supplement order, something we haven't done in 7 or 8 months; a 6 month supply came to over $1000. I tried to think of what to eliminate but everything on the list helps one or more of our ailments (mostly mine). Fortunately things are not tight financially. It was also a laundry day, and Shosh managed to get some painting in too while listening to the Yankees game. It's so much easier to do something else while listening to baseball; basketball commands much more of one's attention.

OMG, that is a lot of supplements. Are you finding that they work better than traditional pharmacuetical remedies? No interactions between the various supplements. I know that with my CMT, there are certain vitamins/supplements that I am not supposed to take because they can be toxic to the neuromuscular system.

I take them in addition to prescription meds; my MDs all have this list & don't have a problem with anything on it or in combination with any of my meds. There are certain things I'm not supposed to & don't take too.

You can probably find most of them in Prescription for Nutritional Healing (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583332367/sr=1-1/qid=1147180330/ref=sr_1_1/104-9359255-1775168?%5Fencoding=UTF8) .
