I'm going to see mom tomorrow. Nursing home just called saying she has phlegm in her throat so they are putting her on a breathing apparatus.

She's had this many times before but then it was pneumonia. I'll find out tomorrow.

Let us know.

Re: bananas

A doctor friend of mine tells me that bananas are the perfect food for humans. Apparently we could survive forever (until dead from old age), quite heartily of a diet comprised of only bananas and water...

Right! (in all respects!)

My dad was having trouble sleeping a few years ago. He's loathe to take serious sleep-inducing drugs and was resigned to suffering until his darling daughter (my seester, The Good Twin,) happened to mention his problem to someone at the spa where she worketh out. Said someone told her to have Dad eat two nanners a day, preferably in the afternoon.

Well, she told. He ate. He slept. She got hugs. I got nuttin', Honey(s).

I hate the beyotch! (Not! I love my sister so long as she keeps the brat-sitting requests to minimum. The Curse Of Having A Swimming Pool!)

Now, about the "other" bananas...Mmmmmmm...with balls or without.

I used to say that my three favorite foods were oysters on the half shell, broccoli, and raspberries. I think that asparagus may trump broccoli though I love broccoli. All the pole berries are good--blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Oysters have different flavors depending on type and location source.

Louisiana oysters have rich flavor; those on the Oregon coast are not as flavorful, including those native to the region and those from Japanese spawn. Eating oysters involves little rituals and different kinds of condiments that one can skip. The beer with oysters is part of the ritual.

Pole berries don’t need anything but they are good with cream and other delights.

Broccoli is good with a bit of garlic. One must not overcook them. Asparagus is good with certain kinds of preparation and with a bit of garlic and butter.

The fact is that variety suits human beings. We seem to enjoy a wide range of foods.

What amazes me about bananas is their fragility. That we consume them as a mass market item still fascinates me.

Louisiana provides many choices! By the way, I have enjoyed a retreat at a garden estate once owned by a former head of the United Fruit Company.

As I'm going grocery shopping anyways, I'll grab some nanners and broccoli. I love freshly cooked broccoli.

Sleep wise, I get an hour in the afternoon but at night, I'm wide awake till like 6:00am then can sleep till 1:00pm. I'll try the diet as I would rather catch my zzzzzzz's sometime between midnight and 8:00am

Maybe you could. --FLO--

Strawberries are a source of a testosterone like substance
