One day I was in the river side thinking where I can go to get solution. so at that moment i was doing some research about remedy for herpes on my cell phone, so i came across an articles about a lady testifying on how she get cured by the help of a doctor called USELU,so i have to write down the email contact of the doctor that she recommended which is (dr.uselucaregiver@gmail.com) on a very good day i decide to write to this doctor and explain how this virus is killing me slowing, after introducing myself to this doctor after some time i got a reply back from him, and he told me the important of his herbal medicine also how he has cure HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS and all kinds of virus, He told me all the things I need to do and also give me instructions to take, which I followed properly. Before I knew what gradually my body was getting recovery and i was feeling so different than ever after two weeks the HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS that was in my body got vanished. so if you are also heart broken and also need a help, you can also contact him Via Email (dr.uselucaregiver@gmail.com) and give a try i promise if you can stay in touch with Him through his contact email address stated here correctly you wont miss out okay here is the Email once again ( (dr.uselucaregiver@gmail.com) or whatsapp him, +2347052898482 and you will give a testimony too wish you Good luck guysTimothy Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548288757386734502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-21398938499852462992020-10-23T15:56:33.513+01:002020-10-23T15:56:33.513+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.maddox paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911411390744686987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80390772072685514682020-10-23T10:14:22.187+01:002020-10-23T10:14:22.187+01:00But that means you're 99 John.

What's good for the heart is actually very good for the brain. The steps you take to keep your heart arteries unclogged also keep brain arteries open.*<br /><br />At 260-odd pages this is an easy read with chapter sub-headings and special sections blocked out in darker tone. <br />These have titles like *Neuro Gym: Let Your Mind Wander* and *Neuro Gym: Get Playful* and *Neuro Gym: Get Outside* which is what Neil's blog is all about.<br /><br />Though I'm a good sleeper I'm passing this on to friends:<br />*If you don't fall asleep after 20 minutes get out of bed.*<br />*Limit your exposure to bright light in the evening.*<br />*Turn off electronic devices at least thirty minutes before bedtime.*<br /><br />Dr. Jandial concludes by saying that the rate of Alzheimer's is dropping. More people are living into their 80s and beyond *in excellent cognitive health*.<br /><br />To become a *super-ager* with healthy cognition three things count: Education, Social Networks, Physical Activity. The healthiest seniors are extroverted and have more social contact than their peers.<br /><br />You could also try reading Proust, but that's just me.<br />Hameldaemepal@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231016503726428849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-7422321028002015582020-10-20T22:30:39.778+01:002020-10-20T22:30:39.778+01:00 Adrian ...you were ironic , were u not?

This one seemed a bit disjointed to me although I understood what she was saying. The first verse I particularly liked. I think we all have our individual opinion on what we like in poetry. It is good to know the Nobel Prize for Literature was given to a poet. These days it almost seems like poetry is dying out compared to it's popularity in the past.

I can't remember Freud saying that about children though he must have observed his own children as closely as Piaget did; and he lost his daughter Sophie (his Sunday daughter he called her) in her youth.<br /><br />If Meryl Streep read *Autumn* we would all feel that shiver down our necks which Osip Mandelstam called the real thing. The drone of words around us dulls our inner ear until Sylvia Plath, Ann Carson or Gluck wakes us up.<br /><br />*Insight, my sister said./ Now it is here./ But hard to see in the darkness.*<br />That is like Burns seeing the field mouse:<br /><br />*Still, thou are blest, compar'd wi' me!<br />The present only toucheth thee.*Hameldaemepal@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231016503726428849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-30959078517885165722020-10-20T19:10:42.842+01:002020-10-20T19:10:42.842+01:00Thoughtful reflections Debby.
