Thankful;
 

............."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

Frank, When I read your mail I hurried & came here to read your poem. Thats really good. Can I add a HAPPY THANKSGIVING too?

everyone feel free to jump in and wish others greetings

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

Mel is this one of the diabetic recipes? the pumpkin pie?, glad it turned out well and happy thanksgiving everyone

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.
