  3. I started a WordPress blog myself a few months ago and never posted anything. After reading your blog, I decided to start writing and posting on my own blog. I only have a couple of posts right now and they are not very good. But you are certainly welcome to take a look if you like. I must warn you though, that the language I use can get a bit crude. So if that kind of thing offends you, you might not want to read it after all. Anyway, your blog has been very inspirational to me. Thanks again for sharing.

  19. Hi Terry. I my computer has been down for over a week and I have had to use my kindle fire to read my e-mail. So I haven’t been commenting much because it is hard for me to get use to. I am doing fine. Thanks for asking. You and your brother are in our prayers always. It’s great to hear from you. Take care and God bless.

  20. i am glad to hear you are all ok. my brother has a wheel chair now he is using off and on, and a different type of cane. i am searching for a part time caregiver, so i can go get groceries etc. i placed an ad that hopefully will bring the right experienced adult

  21. Hi Terry, Beth here. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog. It is heartwarming to know there are so many of us on this particular caregiver path. Do you have Care.com in your area. It is an excellent way to find a part time caregiver and they will provide a reference check as well as comments from others who have experienced the individual you are considering. I hope you find a good match for both you and your brother. Holding you in light and love. Beth from middlescapes.

  22. Good morning Beth. I had used Care.com years ago when I was looking for someone to care for. i went back to the site yesterday, and discovered that if i want a caregiver, now i have to pay a medium fee. i was surprised. i have placed an ad in the local newspaper and i hope god sends someone my way. i just need a little time for me. i want to be able to concentrate on what i am doing when i am out buying groceries, or shopping for my brother’s BD gift. it is nice to meet u

  55. Aneesa and Faraaz chose you for the Liebster Award because it fits you precisely. I think you are especially deserving of this one. Thank you from the bottom of my old heart for passing it along to me. I am no good at handling awards, but it touches me that you would think to nominate me. I am learning things that I did not know about Parkinson’s because of your careful telling of Al’s story. I wonder if you understand the value of that contribution to others? I am positive that there are those out there who feel relieved to learn that they are not alone and that their reactions to their own situation are shared by others. You are making a real contribution by your chronicle of this awful disease and its effect on the families who bear the illness along with their loved ones. Thank you for sharing the award with me. May you find peace and comfort in the support of your online community!

    Powerful class of antioxidants may be potent Parkinson’s treatment

    Friday, August 10, 2012. A class of antioxidants called synthetic triterpenoids blocked development of Parkinson’s in an animal model that develops the disease in a handful of days, said Dr. Bobby Thomas, neuroscientist at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Health Sciences University and corresponding author of the study in the journal Antioxidants & Redox Signaling.

    Thomas and his colleagues were able to block the death of dopamine-producing brain cells that occurs in Parkinson’s by using the drugs to bolster Nrf2, a natural antioxidant and inflammation fighter.

    Stressors from head trauma to insecticide exposure to simple aging increase oxidative stress and the body responds with inflammation, part of its natural repair process. “This creates an environment in your brain that is not conducive for normal function,” Thomas said. “You can see the signs of oxidative damage in the brain long before the neurons actually degenerate in Parkinson’s.”

  89. Just a quick note to let you know something exciting – I got 222 visits after I posted your story – hopefully you will have an increase in traffic as a result. You are one HELL of a writer! Have you ever had your books published? I am thinking of you and hope you have a happy and prosperous 2013. XXX {{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}

    • wow, thank you so much Melanie for stopping by and letting me know your wonderful news! I hope your traffic continues to grow because of your own writing. I am so happy that I could be a little bit of help. Keep up the good work you do and have a wonderful New Year’s Eve!!!! Thank you for a great comment!!!!! I have written one book and it is in the middle of editing. I have started on my second book, which you can find by chapters in my blogs. I just finished chapter nine. The first book I wrote is also in my blogs. It is called Dahlia.

    • No question is stupid, according to Dear Abby. LOL. I will be glad to assist you. Go to the page where I nominated you. Copy and paste it onto a new blog post of yours. This is called Linking. Most of the awards given want to know something about yourself, plus the link back to the one who nominated you, and lastly, nominate others you would wish to receive this. I go to the comment section of my own blog, so you would most likely have two wordpress pages open at one time. You copy and paste whom ever you wish to nominate, also at that point reply to them that you have nominated them, and then go back to your own blog page you are creating, and paste the nomination there. Also it is a good idea to download the photo of the award, and insert it into your post. If I can be of any other help, please let me know. i had to learn all of this also!!

  105. I’ve recently switched my food blog over to be self-hosted which I hope will make it more user-friendly in the future. As a result, if you were following Can’t Stay Out of the Kitchen via email, WordPress, or using RSS feeds through Google Reader or some other way, you are no longer subscribed. If you wish to continue receiving future posts from my blog you will need to re-subscribe. Sorry for the inconvenience, Teresa.
