............."Thankful"............
Thought I would take some time out to say thank you
for all my friends here and how you help cure my blues
so many times i have searched my life for my friends
a search for me that just never seem to end
I married a person who chased away may pals
but I was determined to make it work, she was my gal
then came the day i divorced and got sole custody of my kids
the few friends I had left ran away, disappeared or just hid
when i remarried Deborah my wife I found we both were alone
for such an outgoing person I had no idea where my friends had gone
then came a site we all enjoyed till they chased us away
then a dear friend chased me down and had something to say
she told me to get myself over to Neuro Talk, and I cant explain
how great it was to see people I had known through so much strain
slowly I found that my old friends were just that old
as I have since learned my new friends were so bold
strong determined and scared about our illness we shared
strong determined loving friends who truly cared
I have not known this kind of love from so many as I do here
a love so strong it made my heart open up and share
giving what i could to make others smile during their day
receiving enough love and support what can I say
I am so thankful for the friends I have, and for Deb my wife
thankful for the love I have for my NT family who are a big part of my life



to my friends at NT I love you as my family, thank you for allowing me to experience this love

Happy Thanksgiving

Well, I would like to add why I'm grateful.

I found out all about Methyl B-12 from the people on these boards. Best gift I ever received.

Alan and I are still alive and kicking.

AND TODAY I BAKED MY FIRST PUMPKIN PIE.

Sugar free, fat free and low sodium.

Alan gobbled it up.

So Happy Thanksgiving to all of you

Nah, I didn't get it off of any diabetic website or splenda website or anything like that. I just looked at the directions on the Libby's can of Pumpkin and I substituted sugar free stuff where it called for sugar, and Fat Free Evaporated Milk where it said Evaporated Milk.

I didn't add salt, but I used cinnamon, ginger and a half teaspoon of vanilla.

You should have seen my husband dive into this pie last night. I just put a dollop of cool whip light on it.

I mean, it's once a year. I live on sprouts and healthy stuff all year round. But if you think I'm not going to have a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving day, well forget it.

So I just tweaked the recipe and VOILA!!!

A slice of heaven.


Oh, I am now going to do something else I have never done.

I am going to Bake an Apple.

Seems simple enough.

We shall see.

So hope you are eating turkey and cranberries.

Me?? I hope I never see another piece of poultry again.

I think, after the holidays, I'm going vegetarian for a while.

I can do it because I already take B-12 every day and all the other stuff I take has calcium and vitamins in it.

And sprouts are full of protein too. So I'll just add a bit of tofu to my diet.

You can make tofu a hundred different ways. I happen to like the stuff.

None of my friends will go near it.
