gambama Carrots are even more versatile. You can bake them into a cake, grated with either o.j. or mayonnaise they make a great salad, and they can be glazed.

gambama We are definitely not starting with indifference. We do accept the REALITY of a situation. We are not accepting the situation as good. Understanding as in knowing why someone probably acted as sh/e did, definitely. Understanding as in saying that every...

gambama I'm glad I could give you a constructive idea. Since your husband is home and a good cook, there are many ways to save. *Do you remember the story "Stone Soup"? See what scraps you have at home, including bones. A good hearty soup can be cheap and filling...

Mylotters- My question is posed to both the able bodied and the less able among us. How do you know what your limits are? How do you know how to stop before you get sick? I suffer from a chronic lung disease that always has...

gambama I find your response interesting. The artificial hip seems not to actually be very important. Do you allow for it in any way? I find that line "eventually it will all become easy because I am always looking for ways to increase my strength" inspiring. I...

gambama It is a good practice at bedtime to review ones day. I ask myself- 1. What have I done toward my goals today? 2. How have I helped others today? In the morning I ask myself- 1. What are my goals for today? 2. what solutions have I come up with?

gambama That is my point. Stopping to think does not have to take long. But, using your intelligence can prevent many problems. Asking questions of yourself is the best way to decide- especially if there is a decision if to act or not.

I thought I would start a discussion about what are the "lights" in your life. Life can be difficult and drag you down. Because of this, I had started a new, positive habit. I've been doing this habit since late 2005. I cultivate...

gambama I'm glad you like my list. Today I would add the fact that my daughter has a loving mother-in-law. It's good to remember the small pleasures of life. For that I would add my table top garden in my living room (I live in an apartment).

gambama @barehugs-This is a classic case of "do not judge your friend until you have been in his place". @macdingolinger- I understand the situation much better now. Your friends, knowing your past, were concerned that you don't have enough to eat. How loving of...

gambama Diabetes when diagnosed and treated is an obnoxious disease. Unfortunately, untreated it can be dreaded- side effects include amputations and people do die from it- or from neglecting it.

Well, I just found out that I have two months and then my mom is kicking me out, place to live or not. I currently get 600 dollars a month, I might be able to fix it so that I get closer to 700 a month, but I wouldn't bet on it....

gambama if you are a veteran, take advantage of all the benefits. My son-in-law is an Israel army veteran, and benefits have made all the difference the last few months. In fact, investigate what else you are entitled to. Do you get student discounts anywhere?...

gambama Relatives are not good if you are going to have to suffer later. Payment is not just money. Try to think creatively.In other words, don't ask "what item do I need?" but ask "what function do I need?" Often one discovers substitutes.

gambama I think the next question is how to learn to believe in yourself. Do you need someone else's belief first, or can you do it even without others' belief?
