It was like the blood had been drained out of it. In fact, I had to look twice to make sure I was at the right blog. I wonder if everyone feels like that when they have a facelift? But like any good facelift, what’s underneath stays the same. Healthbolt is still going to supply the interesting, the intriguing, the entertaining, the bizarre, and sometimes down right gross in the world of health and wellness. So what do you think about Healthbolt’s new look, and more importantly, Healthbolt’s new digs at BlissTree? Personally, I think you’re going to love it.

Fellow b5media blogger Cheryl Vernon lost her house to a fire last week. The entire family is unhurt, but everything they have has been lost, including their two dogs and a cat. Her house is uninsured so they need help getting back on their feet. So we’re reaching out to you in the blogging community. b5media has a donation page for Cheryl’s cause, please consider giving in any way you can.

Suzanne has offered some additional insights for Alzheimer’s Notes’ readers:  eBay is becoming more and more popular for the “sandwich” generation who are looking for additional means to bring extra income into the home, whether to save for retirement or to care for a parent or spouse. eBay works great for caregivers or the homebound because sellers can interact with their customers and this helps with the isolation factor, and it gives the caregiver another focus, a hobby, and something fun to do to combat “caregiver’s syndrome.” Whether the caregiver develops an e-busine...

As a children’s author, I find writing this blog with Karen Weideman very fulfilling. At One Book Two Book, I can share my love of reading and writing and hopefully inspire youngsters and adults to enjoy the same. I also share my stories with youngsters in schools through substitute teaching and author visits, as well as writing workshops. Here at Alzheimer’s Notes, I’ve mentioned children’s books involving Alzheimer’s as the story theme and hope you’ve found them helpful if you had a chance to read them.

Scott Warthon, at b5’s Health and Men, has some great information about Understanding Sun Protection Factor or SPF .  This helps us understand why and how the different levels of SPF work as they do.  He also has posted a chart giving us information regarding which SPF to use with which skin type. (Scott learned the hard way…he got a sunburn!  See This is Why You Should Wear Sunblock) (c) 2008 Mary Emma Allen Tags: Alzheimer's health, Alzheimers, alzheimers-caregivers, b5media, caregivers, Caregiving, Health and Men, men's health...

Do give it a look. A special thanks to Marijke at the phenomenal Help My Hurt . She was the lucky blogger in charge of corralling all of our Cancer-themed posts for this month.

At the b5media Lifestyles Channel, where I write the Quilting and Patchwork blog, we reminisced about the 1980’s for our Theme Day this month, b5media Lifestyles Lovin’ the 80’s.  My mom, who later developed Alzheimer’s, was operating a country general store during the early 80’s.  She had encouraged me to begin quilting again (I’d done some with my grandmother when I was a child) and provide her with quilts for her customers during the Bicentennial years of 1975-76.  I continued to do this as long as she owned her store in the m...

Here in this blog alone, I was off to a slow start because I got back from a real vacation on 4th Feb. You know what happens after a vacation even how short. You end coming back on the job but wishing you can extend the break for one more week. Then there was Valentine’s Day and the Theme Day. Not to mention that February is also the other official heart month: American Heart Month. And who can forget the frustrating downtimes here and network-wide?! All those, on top of some wonderful, amazing stuff that has been happening in my life all the once right now. This is a month or many firsts!

For instance, where I live in New Hampshire (USA), we’ve encountered blizzards and ice storms more frequently this winter than in recent years.  So businesses here have experienced electricity outages, customers who stayed home, late deliveries…even collapsing roofs.  With school closings due to storms, the substitute teaching work I do has been curtailed.

My mom always made a white cake with white frosting.  then she decorated it with maraschino cherries.  (George chopping down the cherry tree!)  We usually had canned cherries (from my grandparents trees) and ate those with cake for dessert. We’re digging out from an ice storm where I live.  So the grandchildren have had the day off from school and I didn’t get called to substitute teach.  To celebrate Presidents’ Day, enjoy a round-up of posts from several of the blogs at b5media.  Here are two from the Lifestyles Channel.  Sandy M...

The month of February has Valentine’s Day too right (that’s today!) and the American Heart Month reminds the American public that cardiovascular diseases (including stroke) are the nation’s No. 1 killer. Makes you wonder how so. But it just makes sense, since the modern word and living on the fast lane bit is truly bad for the heart. We tend to eat the wrong foods, have bad eating habits and have sedentary lifestyles — not only in our homes but our offices too. We tend to be always on a hurry, even when eating. Most of us eat on the go. Even eating in front of your computer (like I often do!) is I guess w...
