A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
send - I know some people who take a cuppa coffee to get to sleep. I'm having a cuppa decaf right now in hopes that it will do something good for me. Normal - what's that?
The physio guy said yesterday that he's seen people's muscles atrophy a great deal in as little as 2 weeks. Scary. My one calf looks minute compared to the good one. So I'll keep plugging away at the exercises. My hubs isn't getting any more patient about this and doesn't seem to understand that when he's in a hurry he's on his own. I told him today I can't rush anywhere right now.
Send, they are always discussing atmospheric rivers here in B.C. Didn't we used to all just say it's raining heavily? LOL

one of my favorite things? rom coms. i can even watch the same one, over and over.
When I was young we would go to the MGM movie theatre and watch all the war movies and Westerns kicked back on love seats with Shirley Temples being delivered by a cocktail waitress. Hooked me on those great scripts, directors and actors. So much so that my first career was in audio/video production.
I was super blessed to meet a man that was helping Micheal Blake's widow and I shared how much I loved Dances with Wolves, he gave me a signed, hardback copy of every book Mr. Blake had written. The movie is as good as the book, which is uncommon in my experience.
Yeeessss!!!!
i bet no one in the entire universe can guess what kind of movie i'm watching right now...
(rom com)
"about fate" (2022 movie), i'm half-way through. very sweet.
number 1 was great! and number 2 is really good, too.
:)
i'm just in the beginning of the movie, where she's trying to teach her elderly father how to use a computer!! haha, i think we've all experienced something similar.
Massage and Reflexology are my favorite self care activities.
"Shrinking"
Movie line:
"I'm sorry". "I have to ask this". "Is this you forever?"
yesterday, i watched the absolutely worst romcom EVER ("Love in the Villa"). it's totally, totally ridiculous. i had to stop after a few minutes (never happened to me before, that i stop watching a romcom).
i started reading the reviews, to see if other people on this planet agreed with me how ridiculous this movie is.
well, i had a lot of fun reading the bad reviews.
this was my favorite review:
"You can feel your brain cells dying as you watch it."

haha :). i think i'm going to use that line in other contexts.
for example, next time i bump into a silly, rude person...
"You can feel your brain cells dying as you spend time with this person."
❤️🙂
I remember seeing my mom giving herself hot oil treatments when I was young. She had beautiful hair!
I think my mom used a product called VO5, something like that. Or maybe olive oil. I’m not sure.
Haven’t people used mayonnaise, eggs, beer in hair too? Beer was supposed to make hair shiny.
My hair is fine now too. I had thicker hair when I was younger. So many things affect our hair and skin. I only need a light moisturizer on my face. I do use lotion on my hands. They are always dry!
When you use a hot oil treatment it does a better job if you use a clarifying shampoo first.
Any oil works. You just clarify, apply treatment, cover and wrap. Sometimes, I leave the oil treatment on overnight.
Just my experience.
Golden, you are so right. It is a relaxing treat to do a hot oil treatment.
Today is their 6th birthday.
They're the light of my life and the reason I get out of bed every morning.
They've kept me going since I lost Mom.
I can't believe they're already 6 and they still act like little kittens.
10lbs to be exact. lol.
I love Oikos banana cream& Activia vanilla yogurt. I got some Voortman wafer cookies and can't stop eating them in my yogurt.
Willpower!
margaret - glad that works for you.
real - you shampoo first and then do hot oil treatment then??? shampoo again? I put enough oil on my hair that I have to shampoo after. I don't have much natural oil.
pamz -good advice from your hairdresser. Mine can get very dry feeling too. The hot oil once a week is a blessing and volumizes. I have to be careful of products as I have skin allergies.
Llama - I think it would be worth a try. My scalp always feels better after a treatment,
Luckylu -Happy Birthday to your kitties. Time flies, doesn't it?
Need - re Mrs 'Arris I read the book by Paul Gallico first many many year ago and also saw the 1992 movie version with Angela Lansbury. Both were just lovely. I have read other delightful books by him too.
catskie - Oh gosh. My willpower isn't that good. I just don't buy the stuff I want to gorge on. I found some really tasty dark. chocolate nut clusters - supposed to be keto. Once I ate one I wanted them all. So I finished them off pretty quickly and will not buy them again soon - maybe one package for a treat at Christmas. Nowadays they make processed food to be addictive so we will buy more of it.
