Dimity and I include you in our conversations periodically. Just want you to know we're thinking of you.<br /><br />Love, Chris<br />Penattheready.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036036258111436847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138155.post-89600564396902134982013-09-04T19:46:15.432-04:002013-09-04T19:46:15.432-04:00I was so pleased to see your blog on facebook and ...I was so pleased to see your blog on facebook and am especially happy to hear of your positive test results. I've been meaning to get in touch, but as usual procrastinated until it seemed too late. <br /><br />Reading your remembrances of the 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington took me there. I was unable to attend that march, but was at a march for integration in 1954 when I was eleven years old. My family traveled to Washington on a bus sponsored by a Black church. <br /><br />I just found out a bus went from Poughkeepsie to attend the march which took place on Saturday. Since I wasn't able to find a local bus soon enough, I made arrangements to go to my brother's house in Brooklyn and we went down with the CUNY faculty under sponsorship of AFT. It seems amazing that fifty years later we're still fighting for many of the same rights.<br /><br />The Women's Equality Rally is being held in New Paltz next Saturday, September 7. I hope to see more younger women there this year.<br /><br />After reading about your concern about the need for weight gain, I googled and found the following:<br /><br />"Eating small, frequent meals is a great strategy to increase the amount you eat over the day without feeling stuffed. <br /><br />Below are some foods and strategies to maximize healthy weight gain.<br /><br />Here are some healthy foods you can eat to increase calories and gain weight:<br /><br />Incorporating nuts and seeds into your diet is a heart healthy way to increase calories and aim for weight gain. Try adding walnuts, almonds, peanuts, pistachios, etc. to baked goods, breads, cereal, pancakes, salads, and ice cream or yogurts. (1/4 cup serving = 170 calories)<br /><br />Trail mix or granola bars, or dried fruits such as cranberries or raisins, are a calorie-dense option that can be eaten as a snack or added to cereals and yogurts. (1/4 cup serving/bar = 120 calories)<br /><br />Eggs can make a simple meal. Add chopped hardboiled eggs to salads, dressings, and casseroles, or beat eggs into sauces, custards, and baked goods. (1 large egg = 90 calories)<br /><br />Olive and canola oil can be mixed into sauces, used as salad dressing, and added to yogurt frappes or smoothies as a great calorie boost that contains essential fatty acids that your body needs. You can also use oil to cook when stir-frying vegetables. (1 tbsp = 120 calories)<br />Try adding beans to soups, salads, or entrees.<br /><br />Spread peanut butter on whole grain bread or eat it with bananas or apples for a healthy snack. (2 tablespoons = 190 calories)<br /><br />Add cheese, bean spreads or hummus to vegetables. (1 oz. or 1/8 cup cheese = 100 calories; 1/4 cup hummus/bean spread = 100 calories)<br />Add avocado to sandwiches, in dips or in smoothies.<br /><br />Here are some strategies you can try for healthy weight gain:<br /><br />Use small plates for meals, as opposed to full-size dinner plates.<br />Try not to snack too close to meal times to avoid feelings of fullness.<br /><br />Try to eat your favorite foods more often.<br /><br />Limit fluids to a minimum at meals but make sure to drink between meals.<br /><br />Keep healthy high-calorie snacks on hand at your house and bring these snacks with you when on the go."<br /><br />Wishing you the best and hoping to see you out and about soon. You are missed.<br /><br />Doris Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138155.post-69071606941328623702013-09-02T17:13:16.919-04:002013-09-02T17:13:16.919-04:00Dear Ruth,

I have been fortunate to like what I do for work and to have some passion for it most of the time I have never defined myself by work and still don't, but I also have never thought about what is the most important thing to me. Family, of course, but I am not obsessive about them. My grandbabies live far away and as incipient teens they no longer want to come and spend the summer with us as they have for the past 5 years. Frankly, as incipient teens I am happy to let their mom and dad have the pleasure of those delightful years! I guess where I live interests me greatly and I am peripetatic genetically and now looking at what next when we retire in a coupe of years. Hawaii is looking awfully good right now.<br />I will make sure Christine sees your blog. She is a inveterate workaholic.

This subject is so frustrating to me. W...Hey Ruth,<br />This subject is so frustrating to me. Why do people think that just because we are working for a charitable organization we should take "charity" as our pay? We all work hard, probably harder than most people to make a difference, yet it's never recognized that way. Realizing that non profit organizations enjoy government contracts and that tax revenues are set aside to provide those contracts, why is it that its always at it's barest minimum? there's never enough money to get the organization afloat or pay the proper salaries to talented employees. What gets me sometimes is that city workers also enjoy their salaries from tax payers money, yet they are paid fairly well, get overtime, don't have to worry or beg for donations, don't have to worry that if we don't have a successful fundraising year the doors of their employment may close. I'm not saying that they should, I'm just saying that no one should and that non-profits shouldn't be looked at as the city's "second class citizen" but a viable entity that address the social "ills" and problems in our society. And for goodness sake, make it all equitable so that we can even do a better job, spend more time in our programs, instead of spending valuable time begging for a dollar! Just saying....CandaceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118507556959023624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138155.post-26548168669924218572012-01-28T12:33:24.271-05:002012-01-28T12:33:24.271-05:00Yes! you are right!!

We have a brain training program that uses the most effective training protocol yet designed for improving working-memory and fluid intelligence. <BR/><BR/>In these areas it is more effective than the Posit Science products that you've purchased (although they address somewhat broader cognitive areas than this).<BR/><BR/>My business philosophy is to produce effective products that are also affordable. The software costs just $57 (or $47 for a download copy).<BR/><BR/>At the moment the software contains just one training method (although most people find this just fine and quite addictive) but we will be adding more at no charge to existing customers.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Martin Walker<BR/>www.mindsparke.com<BR/><A HREF="http://mindsparkebrainfitnesspro.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="train prep iq sat act gre gmat brain exercises">Mind Sparke Brain Fitness <I>Pro</I></A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138155.post-34104698770334251372007-12-19T08:18:00.000-05:002007-12-19T08:18:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comment on piggybacking, Diana.

It is a legally and ethically controversial practice, with laws that vary in jurisdictions around the world. While completely outlawed in some jurisdictions, it is permitted in others. <A HREF="http://www.enterbet.com" REL="nofollow">sportsbook</A>, A customer of a business providing hotspot service, such as a hotel or cafe, is generally not considered to be piggybacking, though non-customers or those outside the premises may be.
