December (FireStick Review)

 Oooops
skipped November
but dd have something to share.

I tried a FireStick to compare it to the ROKU stick since it was half price for the Holidays.
ROKU is definitely better.
There is little the Firestick can do that ROKU doesn't
and much that the ROKU can do that FireStick does not.

October

 I have not been blogging because there was nothing much new to share till this month.  I am mostly taking outdoor walks with music, weather permitting and using youtube for indoor workouts.

The bigest change in my life is trying Troomy gummies.
They help with anxiety, fatigue, mood, and brain fog without making me as drowsy and loopy as hemp gummies. Also less dry mouth.  NJ may be limiting the online purchase of hemp gummies in the near future so these mushroom gummies were a great discovery. They are also substantially cheaper.  I ordered them with a 50% off code that may or may not still work. An order of four different 30 count bottles enabled  free shipping: CALMTRIAL50

Also I am taking Turmeric Curcumin capsules which seem to be helping my peripheral nerve pain and numbness.  

Lastly, I am refrigerating/freezing most carbs to convert them into resistant starch which seems to have improved my gut health.

Most of my stress is because of the existence of so many hateful people in our country but Troomy will help me deal with whatever happens.

June is Busting out all over

 trump is a convicted felon.
Hope the threat of jail may stop him from endangering the jurors, etc.
(though unlikely).

Truth matters.
Competency matters.
Decency matters.

May Already?

 Cannot believe how time is flying!
(keep pinching myself that I turned 75 years young already.)

I will be adding recommended workout links eventually but for now have plenty of youtube channels to explore.
Since I have not touched a workout vhs or dvd in over a year, I may be tossing most, if not all of them this summer.

Dumb Bell Dancing!

Chair Dancing!

Just a warning about a bad CBD gummy company.
Most of the companies on FaceBook have been very good about complaints except one:

namacbd.com

I paid the postage for a few samples, each individually packed. The second pouch I opened had a mushy gummy in pieces and it is not even summer yet.  It was disgusting.  I sent them an email with a photo and was offered another single sample on my next order!  Hello but who orders from a company with such terrible quality control?  Most companies would have sent me free samples and some would even have refunded my postage.


The gummy was wet, mushy, sticky and in pieces. I have had hundreds of gummies and none were ever in this condition.  Nama will bombard you with emails even after you unsubscribe.

(Try erthwellness for free samples which only charges $5 for shipping with code and will replace damaged product for free)

April is Here

 March closed with some stress but most of what was stressing me has been resolved, including a very clever mouse who evaded all traps.
Of course, the BIGGEST April Fool will still be stressing people out for the rest 2024 but hopefully will be in prison and completely gagged in 2025.

I turned 75 in March but honestly, do not feel it.  Still have peripheral neuropathy with aches and pains but always have had pain issues my whole life.  In many ways, I feel better than I did in my 50's and 60's.

This month, I am exploring Gail Stringer's outdoor walks with Gospel music:

Also here is a link to my old youtube channel:

Hurray for March

 March is my favorite month because days are starting to become longer and winter is staring to an end.

As usual, the hateful and divisive cult propaganda is upsetting. I am determined to mute trolls on whatever social media platform I use.  I have no room in my life for people who enjoy attacking others.
WOW!  I am finally seeing way less cult trolls and most comments have become intelligent.
The more voters see the behavior of trump and his cult, the less they will vote for trump.

(I will be adding video suggestions as I find them)

Ed Sheeran music

80s soundtrack

great music and rebounder friendly moves

February 2024

 WARNING:
Getting a REAL ID is a REAL gamble in NJ, especially at the Elizabeth MVC location.
Some of the employees seem to lack simple logic or knowledge and want to send people on several random adventures for their documents while paying for parking each visit as well as wasting gas and time.  Bottomline, do not go paperless for your bank accounts, credit cards, or utilities.
Bank accounts must be just savings or checking.
They will not accept a Money Market recently snail mailed monthly statement as a bank statement.
In the future, we decided instead of trying to get a Real ID and forfeiting a standard state ID to fly within the USA after May 2025 to get passports so we can even fly outside of the USA.


Workout-wise,
I am starting the month with this youtube channel with good music and moves!

(Will add more throughout the month)

Feel good moves and music which means no dread:

new favorite


There were many great deals for CBD/THC gummies on Facebook the past month and I found many I liked, especially Delta9 from Munchies, King Buddha, Erth Wellness, and Sun State.  Just 1/4 of most gummies with Delta9 work well for me for relaxation.  Even a whole half can feel too strong, making me feel balance challenged and/or mouth dryness. Right now, I have enough for at least the next year including various flavors of my favorite Lumi THC so am resisting the deals.  I have had many stressful events that were made much more tolerable with these gummies.

Cooking-wise, I have made drumsticks in the air fryer for the first time this month and liked them as much or more than thighs!  For years, I only used chicken breasts which over-cook too easily.

Hello 2024!

 Hoping this year brings the end of the MAGA cult and our country can heal from its damage.
I will be turning 75 this year and feel better overall than I did since the MAGA nightmare started.
Thanks to working out and various hemp gummies,  I feel less pain and less anxiety.  There were so many good offers on Facebook for various gummies that I have plenty for the whole next year.

My hobby has become simple cooking and I have great gadgets from Temu.
The only disappointment has been that Temu has raised its minimal price to $15 from $10 which will make me order less often.  I was running out of wishlist items anyway.

Youtube workouts keep getting better and better.
The workouts are easy to access on mobiles and tvs.
I can start a workout on a playlist and youtube will keep my progress for the next visit.

Anywho, these look great from KOM
(Keep On Moving)

and I am still enjoying the Adi Goren playlists started in December which take me around the World

(will be adding more as the month progresses)

Walking workouts on this channel
good music and simple moves

still loving the 30 minute Cardio Nia Dances with Jill 
on from Healthier Together Virtual Wellness
for example:

nice channel with good music and moves

great channel for bouncing

great music and moves, some outdoors

great moves and music that can be done bouncing

BodyGroove recently started sharing on youtube



I can now get Paramount+ with Showtime through my FIOS triple play that included Showtime.
It works with a set top box, online, and the Fios TV mobile app.
https://tv.verizon.com/watch/home/ will enable watching online.
Also I can use a mobile device to  cast to ROKU using the Web Video Caster app by pasting   https://tv.verizon.com/watch/home/ in the Web Video Caster browser.
