Nortel filing for bankruptcy is big news here. It was once Canada's most valuable company during the tech boom of 2000. Everyone has owned shares in this company at one time or another, shocking stuff, see the story below, the comments are rolling in.
I'm hibernating today, it's frostbite weather for the next few days. The element in my oven burned out the other day. A bright flame shot out when M tried to open it. I quickly turned it off and shut the door, remembering a friend's adventure last year. Then M went and got a new element and replaced it. I also made a mental note to stop cooking with long sweater sleeves. It just takes an instant to unknowingly set fire to yourself. The other bad habit is cooking and not being close by. I mean what if I was having a shower at the time the element burned out?
M told me he's been taking low dose (500mg) glucosamine chondroitin pills as he thinks they help his knee joints. Then my friend says she's also taking them, just because she thinks it will prevent the onset of joint pain. I take omega-3 pills and vitamin D because of things I read. The joys of middle age!

Middle age - oh god you will have to read my next post whenever I do it later today about that very subject. I want to hibernate from life not snow Christine!!!
Sad about these companies going to the wall. I think we are going to see a lot more things like this.
I went to ebags uk yesterday to order a leather messenger bag for Roxi (reward for a semester's worth of straight-As) and found a message saying they are processing their last orders. They're closing due to the unstable economy (or something like that). So sad! I saw that Nortel news yesterday too.
That is so scary about your oven! I am glad you were around when it happened and no one got hurt.
We've upped our vitamin intake here too, especially Vitamin D--we have so very little sun here in the winter.
PS I try not to think of myself as middle age. UGH! How can that be?!

You're all Spring Chickens !!!
Old age has many compensations to look forward to ! You can stay in bed late,keep by the fire when it's cold outside,live off chocolate,get a free bus pass,free slippers,£10 from the Queen at Chrostmas, concessionary theatre tickets and many more things( wouldn't mind turning the clock back a bit though )
Lilly, loved your menopause post today, and that special frog!
Japra, too bad about ebags closing, glad Roxi could still get her reward. No way you're middle-aged, btw. At least you don't have to go researching peri-menopause just yet!
Barbara, you're my role model for the senior lifestage, and I like being called a spring chicken!
