    The daily news always has my attention – – because we’re still living in a very bumpy world! But, I’m also indulging in Only Murders in the Building (I am only in the 2nd season), and have gone thru all of the Yellowstone series as well as 1924. On YouTube, I follow Cal Newport’s videos on productivity (they are super for kicking off the New Year).

    For those of you who have Netflix, the new movie “Here” is a gem to watch!

    I watch The Outer Banks and I started watching Lost. After season 2 I lost interest. It started of great, and then it just lost my attention. I think I’m the only person who didn’t watch Lost or The Walking Dead when they were on TV. My mom and I watch General Hospital every week day together.

      Hello Amanda ! this Pam I watched entire series of Walking dead . The week I finished I experienced movement of jaw and bit my toung during flight to Asia . I blamed myself for watching walking dead for my jaw issue 🤣.

      I was diagnosed after almost one year Neurologist ruled out anything els than stroke . By the time I got referred to ALS neurologist I lost my speech completely . I wish I was on Riluzole earlier and could have my voice at Present . I noticed few mentioned they have slow progression . I have scheduled my pricy consultation with John Hopkins next week . Wonder if they can test for slow progression but I had swallowing issues and got the G tube for nutrition since I lost 10 lb in 3 weeks . I have been always 100 lb. Very active Exercise was passion . Attended Yoga camps . India,Bali. Never imagined I will have such a rare decease .We have no one in 2/3 Generation with ALS . Sorry for holing on and on . Just want to congratulate who have slow progression . Pam k

    If you have Amazon Prime, a great and heart-warming movie is “Hearts in Atlantis,” with Anthony Hopkins.

    If you like podcasts, “Sherlock Homes Short Stories” are narrated by actor Hugh Bonneville (aka downtown Abbey’s Earl of Grantham). 30-minute installments.

    I highly recomend “Unstoppable” a uplifting movie on Amazon. Its about a collegiate wrestler who rose up to the pinnacle despite many life challenges. He was born with 1 leg among other challenges.

    Be sure to watch the interviews after the movie….. Enjoy!!!

    Lately I’ve been caught up watching the videos from https://www.youtube.com/@theanatomylab

    These are not for the faint of heart… but do present the human body in a fun, factual way. I have learned a lot about muscle groups, digestion, energy needs, and more.
