I, too, can remember the days when I didn't have an ache or a pain. Those days are long gone. <br /><br />I tried kefir, the beverage, because I read it could help acidic stomach (it did the opposite for me). It didn't smell bad at all. It must be the extra culturing involved in making yogurt that gives it that wonderful aroma of which you speak. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-40140242713635698792016-03-30T15:53:22.724-07:002016-03-30T15:53:22.724-07:00Oh I feel you!!

I take my regular prescriptions, but I'm pretty bad about supplements. I only remember the multivitamin every day cause it's gummy and tastes so good. The magnesium and Vitamin D just way too big for me to swallow w/o gagging and dry heaves.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-49083329800717977042016-03-30T12:39:45.896-07:002016-03-30T12:39:45.896-07:00Give us this day our daily whinge.

It was pillows which made me realise I had turned into an old fart. As a teenager I can remember hearing (and sneering at) a friend's mother saying that she really missed her pillow when she was away from home. Last time I went away I took my pillow.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064585589281123688.post-20480273405201827662016-03-30T12:15:46.854-07:002016-03-30T12:15:46.854-07:00My boss makes her own milk out of kefir grains.

I carry a lunch box instead which serves the same purpose as your purse. I used to take glucosamine for my knees. Didn't do much so I got new knees. They don't hurt now. I get out of my chair as often as possible at work because I stiffen up and not in a good way.

I walk in the afternoons and weekends, Unless im aching to much. I have resorted to healthier eating but that don't help the bad knees and boney butt. Thanks for the laugh. Oh and by the way, they do have bigger purses on wheels. Have a great day.<br />Lisa Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.com
