Exercise keeps the brain healthy.

Dear soop (((hugs))) for tomorrow.

... and all the best from me too, as I said before:
Sock it to 'em.....

soop - I hope you pass the test tomorrow, which I have no doubt you will. Make sure you know what day it is and the name of the Prime Minister! I am sure we shall all be thinking of you. Let us know the format of the test, so that we can be prepared for the future.

The kitchen plan was very neat. It was good to see it on the screen. Mr soop and I had a "staff meeting" this morning [on the sofa, with a mug of coffee]. We've decide to select a cooker with hob rather than splitting the appliances. Makes more sense when space is at a premium

Good!

crimson The "house stuff" doesn't cause either of us stress. In fact, it helps to keep our spirits high. We'll take one step at a time, and hope that funds will enable the project to proceed. Our reward will be, a beneficial outcome. We'll be calling in on the kitchen people later this afternoon. It will be fun to see the plan. Several health problems have been around for such a long time, and again, I deal with them as cheerfully as I'm able. Thank you for thinking of me. I'm feeling tip-top at the mo'.

Oh thanks soop crystal clear now, must say your expression is much nicer, I'll remember that if I need it sometime

yoga my silly term for prolapsed bowel.

Excuse my ignorance - but what is a "drop bot"?

soop; I was just thinking about you as I was driving back from work. D'you think that perhaps, with all the house stuff and everything on your mind you might be suffering from stress?

Ana ...at least it didn't hurt!

Although, on second thoughts, it would only be your thoughts that were at all funny....not the procedure itself!

I'm surprised you could stop yourself from falling about laughing yourself!

Ana Nope, it was cold...and as it was being "piped up" my orrifice, I thought about the advert for Smash [aliens discussing what is done with a potato, and falling about laughing] Sorry for the above spelling.

Soop! I would have thought they'd have used something a bit more 'scientific'! Hope it wasn't hot....

Thank you for more kind messages. This afternoon I'm having a hearing test...Tuesday a brain test...and a further "drop-bot" test to be confirmed. Never a dull moment!
PS...did I tell you that the last drop-bot investigation was carried out by squeezing mashed potatoe up my rear end. There...bet the thought of that makes you

Thank you Faye.

Sorry jingle I didn't see you there, welcome back. I had wandered where you had drifted off to, but it is nice to see your posts again.

JessM, remember it wasn't long ago that the jury was still out on Vitamin D. We were told Avocados were too high in fat. I said to crimson that Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is supposed to be the thing for Alzheimers, lets hope it is. At least it is healthy and is not an animal based fat which has been proven to be very unhealthy.

Thank you OGM.

No! Don't touch the coconut oil!!! It's a real baddie. (that article is sopersuasive! Must be funded by people who farm coconuts. )

Sock it to'em Soop, hope all goes well.
jO5 a belated welcome back, really pleased to 'see' you! Was afraid to say too much too soon in case you disappeared again!

Faye, really! I know it is kindly meant but...The one thing we do know about coconut oil is very high in saturates and therefore not a very good oil to seek out. Bad for the arteries.

Even on this site, which is flogging coconut oil as hard as it can, as the cure for all ills says:

Coconut Oil and Alzheimer's Disease: There are reports of research conducted by Dr. Newport stating that coconut oil is useful for treating Alzheimer's disease. Apart from this there is no scientific evidence or traditional knowledge or coconut oil being used for treating Alzheimer's. It was also not known traditionally that coconut oil helps in the brain function.

This is very very flimsy "evidence" based on the suppositions of one person. In other words it is not evidence at all. The internet is awash with people selling various foods as being good for serious diseases on the basis of no evidence at all. This site is an outrageous example of such marketing.

soop I echo everyone's good wishes. All the very best for the next few days.

Hope it all goes well Soop. I know you'll keep us up to date

Thinking of you soop

crimson Organic Coconut oil is supposed to be the thing for Alzheimer's disease. Eating it is far more interesting than doing those brain exercises.
