Love Lives On

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
cherished memories never fade
because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory,
they’ll live on in the heart.

Today would be my Son’s 40th birthday and he always called me on his birthday to wish me a happy birthday, his way of thanking me. It’s been 17 months since his death and looking back it doesn’t seem real and it’s hard to believe so much time has passed so quickly. Each day has felt like a nightmare that never ends.  I will spend his day remembering his life and everything we went through together and I will always be grateful for the time I was allowed to know and love him.

It’s been almost 3 months since we purchased the Orgreenic kitchen cookware set and yes we still like it. Bill still feels like he spent his money wisely and we do use it quite often. I use my Orgreenic frying pans every single day, but depending on what we decide for dinner not all the other pieces. It’s holding up very nicely so far and it’s the easiest cookware I have ever owned to clean.

The other night Bill cooked BBQ ribs so the next night I decided to reheat the leftovers in my large Orgreenic frying pan on top of the stove and added more sauce. Bill thought I was going to ruin his Orgreenic pan with the BBQ sauce sticking because everyone knows how easy that is to burn with the sugar content. Even though it got bubbly and sticky I wiped the majority out with a paper towel when it was cool and ran water over the pan and it came right out.

I never have any problems with the other Orgreenic pans when I make chili or spaghetti or anything with milk it’s still very easy to clean by hand. You’re cautioned against putting them in the dishwasher. When I use my Orgreenic grill I have found that I can’t use my Montreal steak seasoning because it burns and sticks and stinks which really ticks me off so I have to save that for my outside grill.

Although we still cook with oil and butter we just don’t use as much. I’m sorry I simply can’t fry chicken or potatoes with out oil and I’m not even going to try. I’ll let someone else make those experiments. I’m perfectly happy using less oil. My only complaint is the bottoms of my Orgreenic frying pans I can’t make them look like the insides all nice and new looking, oh well you can’t have everything.

So far we have been perfectly satisfied with our purchase, but it’s early days yet. Of course there are other brand names that the popular chefs put their name on, but these work perfectly well for us and they are sturdy and well made so we don’t feel like we got ripped off. If you read their site you will see they give a lifetime warranty not just 10 years like some of the others and hopefully we wont ever have to put that to the test.

I am getting sick of seeing their ad on Google on every website I land on lately though. Well, I hope this Orgreenic Cookware update review helps and if you have any questions I’ll try to answer them if I can, take care and happy cooking.

I haven’t posted for awhile, I’ve been quite busy. I have no clue what’s going on with all the nice people I’ve met online so I shall make a point of visiting the blogs I have always enjoyed tomorrow and catch up with their lives and what’s been going on with them.

I’m doing great since I started vaping and stopped burning tobacco products. It’s been 2 weeks now since I lit a cigarette and I can actually breath and my nose isn’t stopped up all the time. I can actually taste what I’m eating now since my taste buds have returned.

When I first started this vaping I started with a low mg, but when I went to a higher dose all the urges I had to go out and smoke disappeared. I thought I only wanted the tobacco tasting products, but soon got tired of the taste and ordered some different flavors which I quite enjoy.

I like this new habit and even if I decide to stop the nicotine I will continue to vape because I totally enjoy it. If I get the munchies all I have to do is find a flavor and vape away the craving to eat something sweet. For me this has been a great experience. I have read and researched this a lot recently.

I think I mentioned before that I was diagnosed with clinical depression many years ago and took several different types of antidepressants which only made me worse and actually put me in rages. My doctor then decided she was going the wrong way with me.

She found that I was unipolar which basically means in my case that I was always on a downer and didn’t have any normal ups so she tried me on Neurontin and it was a miracle drug in my case and it worked immediately. It brought me up to a middle ground and I was able to function almost like a normal person for years.

Somehow it triggered the serotonin in my brain which was rather low not like a regular person and made me feel differently, it worked as a mood stabilizer for me. She told me I would need to take this for the rest of my life. Since I was going through a clinic I was able to get this supply free from the company.

I took it for quite a few years then I met Bill and we fell in Love and I decided I didn’t need it any more and gradually weaned myself off. Well, guess what I did still need it and got gradually steadily down again and then when I lost my Son and the passing of my furry Son Shadow I started drinking pretty heavy.

I wont go into all those details, but needless to say alcohol is not good for someone that is always down anyhow, but I was self medicating the pain away. At any rate when I started vaping the 36mg I found that it was turning a switch in my head and it had the same effect as the Neurontin had on me. I was dumbfounded.

I actually started to feel normal like the effect that drug had on me so I started researching this more. The nicotine I was vaping was actually helping me and stimulating the neurons in my head. For more reading http://health.howstuffworks.com/nicotine4.htm.

I partially got that from tobacco, but nothing like the effect just vaping the nicotine had and I got even more excited when the craving for alcohol flew right out the window. I haven’t smoked an analog since the 19th and that was also the last night I took a drink and I actually feel like a real person feels.

I have read much about this new miracle I have found and have also read many accounts where it hasn’t helped everyone that tries them cut out the tobacco cigarettes because of other additives in analogs like MAOI’s or Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor’s which is missing with just vaping nicotine.

With vaping I am receiving only 1/10 the nicotine of an analog, but it’s very satisfying for me. For most of my life I have taken pills for headaches and other aches and pains, but I also stopped taking those. Even though I still wake up with headaches I now vape them away and get to feel happy at the same time.

I haven’t felt this good in a long time not only physically, but mentally so I seriously doubt I will ever give up this vaping habit. No one is suffering from my second hand vaping because there are no burning carcinogenics being released into the air and I smell great now. This is one habit I will hang on to gratefully.
