Mindfulness - a new buzz word

Judy Evans @JudyEv (340064) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Nov

From time to time, some words which were once very ‘ordinary’ suddenly seem to become very popular. One such buzz word/phrase is ‘reach out’. No-one says hello any more or contacts or messages. They all ‘reach out’. Others that...

Heather Echola Meta attentive awareness is a phrase one does not hear everyday. We get asked to be mindful in so many ways it gets to be meaningless.

Goodbye Disneyland/Hello Canada

Amber @AmbiePam (92780) • United States 21h

So to recap, I didn’t want to go to Jamaica, but I was fine with Disneyland. My sister floated a new idea that looks like it will stick, and now my dad said he and my stepmom will go too. My sister had been trying to get them to...

Heather Echola To me that is a lot more exciting than Disney anything. Do you have a passport? You need one, right, or at least a "real ID" driver's license. I bet your whole family really enjoys this trip.

LindaOH @LindaOHio (178701) • United States 22 Nov

I got a hold of the facility yesterday and left a message for my husband to call me. He didn't respond. I really think it's the sundowners as he always has called me almost every night. I need to speak to the nurses on Sunday...

Grrrrr. It Broke Again

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (106323) • Marion, Ohio 20 Nov

That pellet burner is a huge piece of scrap metal. I have already called them about it again. I know it's the igniter. This will be the second one to be put in it. Not sure the auger motor is setting right either. I am hearing a...

Do you believe people can speak in tongues?

snowy @snowy22315 (180768) • United States 20 Nov

I guess most people are aware of what this is. It is when people in church or some kind of religious gathering start speaking in a language not native to them. I think it is Hebrew or Aramic. They are supposedly overcome by the...

Heather Echola It is not necessarily Greek or Aramaic. I believe it does happen. I have experienced other people having it happen. It is not scriptural unless it adds something to the uplifting of worship going on. My most specific example I will give is of my college room...

Coffee/Tea Drinker & Adds Ins

Amber @AmbiePam (92780) • United States 20 Nov

A lot of you are coffee or tea drinkers, and maybe some of you are both. How many of you just take your coffee black and your tea plain? Or, do you load these beverages down with a lot of add ins? I’m neither a coffee nor tea...

Heather Echola Usually I drink both plain. I like herbals, and flavored beverages. On rare occasions I do add a flavor creamer, but that is seldom.

Fried Potatoes as a Staple

Jim Bauer @porwest (90915) • United States 18 Nov

Heather Echola I think it would have to be potatoes of any kind. Actually we have such a variet y of foods I cannot say any one is a staple. Right now we should say "soup" as I have been making a variety of soups the lat few days.

Heather Echola If he has no exposure to regular sunlight and things to mark his days he can get disoriented and call you very late like he has been or forget to call at all. It sounds as if his days all run into one another.
