Once I stopped and thought about it, I realized it can't be good for us. The nutrients in cow's milk were designed to feed calves so they grow up to be healthy cows. Surely adult humans have different nutritional needs that a baby cow? Anyway, just the thought of what it is is gross enough to put me off. I'm not drinking anyone's breast milk. LOL! I agree with you though, cows milk *is* for baby cows...just wish I could find an alternative. Rice milk is the only 'milk' I can stomach as an alternate drink ...sometimes...;) |

The only people I "knew" were those off the former Scousers list but we all of us just got on so well with everbody else. I am arranging with the Scousers list ladies who live here to visit Southport soon to meet up with another lady Marge, who lives there and who is getting on a bit. I had only met one of the ladies (Brenda) twice before on my visits home and she is lovely, she even said I could stay at her place for the night!! Don't worry Sally, I was as good as gold. :angel_smile: |

I haven't seen Almond milk in the UK (doesn't mean it's not there, just that I haven't come across it).
I know you can get soy milk there, which is what I drink. It's a little sweeter and creamier than cow's milk and you can buy a light version that's lower in calories. If you use it in tea, you need much less of it than regular milk otherwise the creaminess overwhelms the tea. I think it tastes nicer than cow's milk and it's definitely better for you. |

On the other hand, of course, the human race depends on milk, as babies (including Asian ones, naturally) survive on mother's milk and are designed to thrive on it! So milk isn't so very unnatural to us as a species, although of course cow's milk is differently constituted. Perhaps we do drink too much, as adults--but then, on the other hand, look at those people in Georgia (not US, the country S of Russia) who are famous for living to a ripe old age--it's thought that their consumption of kefir or some similar yogurt-type fermented milk product is a reason for this. And fermented milk products are widely recommended these days as probiotics.. Then there is the venerable human tradition of cheese-making! Not only are cheeses among my favourite English foods, but, as I'm living in France, I'm now surrounded by wonderful cheese here too... So, I'm not about to give up milk altogether, but I DO think those who say we would be helped by eating more SOY are right--especially women of a certain age. I might well try soy milk in my tea, Sally. Tina. |

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Well I don't post that often and can't remember if posted on here about my trip to UK. Despite having looked forward to my upcoming trip in September for a long time I now find myself looking at the possibility of not going in the Fall. This is a trip that has been postponed before due to brother's health. I did not see my brother for 15 years (long story) and in the 2 years he has been living with me he has had bout with cancer and other health issues. He is well now (to some extent) and works fulltime but I feel a sense of responsibility and also guilt in that I am going and he is unable to. He is fine w/me going but as the trip approaches I find myself getting upset at prospect of being gone for nearly 30 days and he will be alone. Are we close? Yes in our own odd way. So I have not fully decided but leaning more towards for now not going. In the next few months it means I can focus on getting my SLPA (speech) license, new job (hopefully) out of state, leave the godforsaken state of Arizona and it would take miracle for this next one but short sell my house or rent it out. I will still go but now time doesn't seem right. I am not a saint by any means just doesn't feel right.. I appreciate folks like DGJamison especially for her advice on trips to Ireland. Anyway..

I'm with Derrygal, if you cant go for 30 days you should try to shorten the trip by a week or two but still go, I think that would be a great self compromise, but then again maybe your brother would be upset or feel guilty if you didn't go for 30 days, then he'd blame himself, that wouldn't be good, we all need a rest or change from daily life, surely you've earned this, you two are close, Id have a heart to heart with him tomorrow, open up, be totally honest then you can make an informed decision without the guilt. My Mum was in a care facility for 5 years, she had alzheimer's/demntia, we went to see Mum every night unless we were out of town which was rare, we went to the UK twice in that 5 years, one time we decided to take my Dad with us, he agreed to go but only if my sisters would come here and watch over Mum, 2 days before we were supposed to leave Mum took a turn for the worst, we were told she was close to death, they were certain and had us prepared, this had happened one time before, at this point Dad decided not to go, and then I was on the fence, the worst scenarios were playing out in my mind. My wife hadn't seen her Mum in a few years and said she was going, I couldn't blame her but I couldn't let her go alone, both of my sisters had arranged their vacation around our trip, it was too late for them to change their plans, they convinced Dad to go with us with the understanding we would return if Mum passed, we arrived in the UK expecting the worst, we were there for two weeks, came home and my Mum lived another three years. My wife and I came to the conclusion that we'd been there for Mum every night for two years, plus we'd been there for appointments and other things in the previous ten years, we knew Mum appreciated our help, we also know she'd be the last person to say don't go as she loved her trips back to the UK, We went knowing if this was her time we had done all we could possibly do... I hope you can take something from our experience. Take Care and I hope you get to take your trip. |
Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Fulwood, I really hope you get to go on your trip. I also wondered, with Fish and Derrygal, whether you couldn't have a shorter trip.
My business makes it hard for me to be away for more than a week right now, so that's how long I'm going for. I figure a week is better than nothing! Surely you would feel OK about leaving your brother if it wasn't for such a long time. |

Nice thanks for the link cheers. My Mom is heading up to the Lake District for the day tomorrow visiting family of her friend, it looks lovely.
Looking at those pics, I see there were some of Carlisle When I was a kid we rode trains a lot it seemed, and we always had to change in Crewe, the train we got off would be heading to Carlisle a lot of the time, and for some reason the place name always stuck with me, I wanted to go there and ride the train to the end of it's journey, like it was some romantic wonderful place. So when we move home I want to visit Carlisle seeing I've wondered about it for so long, it looks lovely in those pictures :lol: I remember telling Mom when I was teen about it and she thought I was crazy :lol: maybe she's been there and knows something I don't. |

Sorry to read a Red Arrow pilot was killed today while performing over Bournemouth.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...l-display.html I had watched them perform over Sidmouth and when they appeared flying really low over the roof tops I said that is too dangerous because if something happened they could kill lots people who had shown up to watch them. Later one of the planes did malfunction and went into the sea. The good new is the pilot survived and was taken by heli' to the hospital. Anyone read about the garbage collection ending in some parts of the UK. They seem to go from one extreme to another. I remember reading in the past that there was heavy fines for not putting your garbage in the right wheelies. It seems that homes had endless different garbage cans for different types of refuse. They were unsightly in my view. Now no collection. They want you to take your 'stuff' to dumpsters some place. As I'm typing I hear on the TV that Gadaffi is surrounded by rebels in Tripoli. He is shifty like a fox.??? The end is near. |

To all those who responded to my email. I have made the decision not to go this September. My brother is part of the reason but also there are many others. It just doesn't seem the right time. I will be going though next year as if not I will lose the money spent on the ticket. I am fine with my decision at this time..

Re: OVER 50's & 60's Chit-Chat & Daily Catch-Up Thread
Just like me - I felt it but had no idea what it was until later when I heard the news.
My desk started wobbling but I just thought I had leaned on it funny and made a mental note to have my husband look at the legs. Turns out it was an earthquake. Oh well - at least my desk doesn't need fixing :lol: |
