You've Got a Friend in Me

Happy song, upbeat!

Also - I'd do Anything For You - Love that dog food commercial.

I've been using a little Vicks VapoRub in the nostrils every night at bedtime since Covid

began - ca 3 yrs ago. (Have not have covid but have been fairly isolated.)

Didn't know if it would help protect the nasal passages from covid, but believe it couldn't hurt.

Am late 80's and still holding my own mentally, so if Vicks VapoRub has been beneficial, that's great.
It's relatively inexpensive and a jar lasts a long time. - "a little dab will do you", as another product proclaims.

I suspected you were not your usual self; it's understandable and I share some of your present

situation - some isolation, faltering energy, aware of decreased motivation, etc.

I don't have a lot of answers, but can recommend some little things...
- I make sure I do what I can to get eight hrs sleep, even if it means a very late start to the day.
(I've told anyone who might contact me that I don't take calls before noon. That works fairly well, but not perfect.)
- I try to take advantage of sunny days and sit outside for a while. I find the sun healing both physically and spiritually.
- Observe nature around you - birds, flora and fauna. They give a sense of peace of mind. Occasionally go to a quiet public
park and observe the people, younger and older, and their pets.
-Eat regularly - healthy though not fancy or heavy meals, take enough fluid to not be dehydrated.
- Like you, I'm especially adverse to seeing or hearing rancorous politicians or pundits. PBS offers programs of interest or
entertainment which pass the time pleasantly.
- I'm not so good about phoning people, but lately I've begun writing a brief card or note to a relative or friend. I'm also
posting what I know of family history on Facebook for younger relatives, as so much of that information will be lost when I
pass on.
Forgive those who need forgiving.

That's it for tonight. You've been well attended to by DUers above. Will be back in touch soon.

Good memories of Jerry Springer when he was council member and mayor of Cincinnati,

and subsequently a well-liked newscaster on WLWT.

Jerry Springer was mayor of Cincinnati after the check incident.

He was a young city councilman at the time when wrote the check.
He resigned from city council when the check became known.
He ran again for council and was re-elected and subsequently chosen as mayor.

After serving as mayor, he became a very popular newscaster on local radio, ending his newscasts with " Take care of yourself and each other."

Jerry Springer was very personable and quite well-liked in Cincinnati.
