#TheBachelor #ChrisSoules with #JimmyKimmel - soo funny! Best couple to ever come out of the Bachelor?? lol!

A Bachelor needs to be clean. (Or, alternatively, is this how you get on the Bachelor? I guess we'll never know...)

Okay, so this picture just makes me laugh - loove Jimmy Kimmel, is endlessly funny, and Jimmy Kimmel was hilarious on The Bachelor with Chris Soules, Prince Farming.... omg, made me laugh so hard.... and these girls, they just break me up.

So, the craziest girl, so far, is the craziest virgin, ever - let's call her CV, Craziest Virgin, since, clearly, what a nut.  One of my favourite parts with the CV is when she's talking about herself, and is it just her, or does she look juust like Kim Kardashian?  How about Khloe Kardashian?  Kourtney?  How about the headgear, that crazy headpiece she's wearing in her hair - hahaha!  I mean, it did work for Cleopatra, and Khloe tried to give it a comeback on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which I have been watching over the holidays, when they had the Keeping Up With the Kardashians marathon, so of course I DVR'd them all... I am endlessly fascinated with how Kim Kardashian has magically changed in every possible way, purely naturally, for sures no plastic surgery involved, just all natural changes as you get older... spread a little here, tuck a little there, and everyone's noses change with time... it just happens, like magic.  And that very same magic for the little CV on the Bachelor, too... what luck! And it hasn't gone to her head, at all, soooo, wow, that's amazing (insert $1 here - lol!).

And I really, really loved what the littlest (and oldest - is she really 26??) CV was doing during the Rose Ceremony - hilarious, this nutjob... she was soo mad, because she had already TOLD the Bachelor Chris to make sure she got her rose at the beginning of the Rose Ceremony... so it's not like she didn't TELL him what he had to do... hahaha!  Will be fun to see how long she lasts... plus, I really liked that hot tub scene - hahaha!  These loonies.... aaawkward!  And Jillian, I think it is, the gym girl?  she gives normal gym girls a bad name... yikes!  That's scary.  A little extra testosterone goin' on there, me tinks... lol!

(Oh, and just to be clear, it's the way this horrible girl uses her virginity as her calling card that bothers me so much, since virginity, in and of itself, is a great thing... but to use it to 'catch a man' - yuck.  Archaic.  And gross. This poor kid needs a good dose of self esteem - you know when she drops her wine glass after the Hot Tub Invasion - unsuccessful - and she she looks back at her new-found friends, throws her arms up in the air, in the classic, 'See, can you see what a loser?' pose - no, this kid needs some help, so she can see herself in a better light.. and quit putting herself on a little platter - eeeewwww, so gross - and that bellybutton ring is so out-there - reeks of desperation... just her use of it, not in general...usually, the bellybutton ring is a sign of confidence, and often not virginity... man, I've never used the word virginity so much in my whole life, and for all the wrong reasons - lol!) 

I loved Jimmy Kimmel on the Bachelor, tonight - oh, man, so funny.. I loved this scene, where Jimmy Kimmel says to The Bachelor Chris Soules to get in there to the Rose Ceremony, but speak as if he's a better speaker... funny... made me laugh : )

Don't these guys look like the happiest pals, ever?  Finally, a fabulous and lasting match on The Bachelor! True Love at last! lol!

So that bit at the end is always so sad, these poor souls, so to speak, not Chris Soules, just the girls who've just been sent home, the girls who didn't get a rose... when they leave and sound soo sad, like they'll never find someone.. so, please-oh-please, if you ever feel that way, read some beautiful Louise L. Hay books, you will love them all, she will make you feel so great about yourself, which will in itself, change your whole life, and how you deal with everyone and everything in your life, but here's some nice wee affirmations you can say to bring more love into your life, and you might like to try these:

"I attract loving people into my life"

"I attract loving experiences into my life"

Oh, and I notice that all the teachers are gone, now, right? lol!  Well, he doesn't feel like learning any lessons - hahaha!  And I don't think Chris the Bachelor is the one who is doing all the kissing, now - it sure seemed, tonight, that he was more of a kissing recipient, right?  Man, those ladies (and I use 'ladies' pretty loosely - lol!) are soo aggressive.. they for sures want their shot at the Bachelor - haha!  Eeeewww... and that poor little young one - holy schmokes, it looks like she can barely wrap her head around why The Bachelor Chris is even kissing other girls... what is that all about?  Aren't they married, yet? lol!  Poor kid.

Ooh, but I did like Becca, so finally I have a front-runner... she seems pretty, smart, a nice girl, not crazy... so now we get to find out if Chris likes Crazy, or will turn out to choose a good girl... and maybe the baby-voice girl, the wedding crasher girl, maybe she'll watch the show and learn how to lower her voice by an octave, or so... what on earth?  A baby voice?  Maybe she doesn't know what her voice sounds like...

And if you have a child and you want them to have a lower voice, not such a high-pitched voice, you just say the words for them, in the voice you would like them to have, and they will repeat after you - is a great way to moderate your child's voice, and give them positive phrases at the same time ... is a very effective technique, particularly useful around the 3 year old stage... prolly works for adults, too - lol!

Hope you have tons of fabulous love in your life!! Ailsa : )





I gotta get in and get a New Years creative, but this should be fine... and I love You Can Heal Your Life, I Can Do It, The Power is Within You, Meditations for Life (maybe it's Daily Meditations for Life?), all by Louise L. Hay - really, don't let the titles bother you, the content is amazing - you will love it, all so lovely : )

And my other page about Louise L. Hay... just loove Louise! 

Bachelor Chris - Farmer in the Dell - of Women ... #TheBachelor #ChrisSoules

Bachelor Chris - Farmer in the Dell - of Women - yuck...

Oh, man, I sooo want to enjoy this season of The Bachelor, and for sures I'm excited about next weeks episode of The Bachelor with Jimmy Kimmel - and I really liked the Bachelor, Chris Soules... he seems like such a good guy, but I could only tape (DVR) the last half of The Bachelor, last night, since there were two episodes of Jane the Virgin on - and I looove Jane the Virgin, on the off chance that you haven't seen it, yet, it's so funny, sooo smart, the BEST actng, love the script, triple love the narrator... so, of course, I chose Jane the Virgin over The Bachelor....

Anyway, so I turned on The Bachelor, tonight, I'm halfway through, looks like they're about to play that moronic 'ghosts in the barnyard', or what crap game that was in the Andi episode of The Bachelorette - well worthy of a lot of jokes, did not think it would make it into the new episodes of The Bachelor - and it was some idiotic kind of zombie thing, so I fast forwarded through all of that, then he was all slobbery-kissing soo many girls, especially the one who is also claiming to be a virgin (sluttiest virgin, evah'...), plus, how many virgins are out there getting a belly button ring?  No.  And the youngest one is still there, and jealous of the 'virgin - me thinks there's no reason to be so jealous...yick. 

I don't know - I really want to love The Bachelor, normally me loves it, is so much fun to watch, but yick, that was a lot of gross stuff that I saw, and I fast forwarded through the vast majority of the whole show... and soo many drunk girls - oh, you know what the biggest thing is that's so gross?  There doesn't seem to be any discretion in Farmer Chris Soules' kissing scenes - come on, all those girls are in close quarters, isn't there usually more discretion, so they can't all see it happening?  Yuck.  I guess I feel more sorry for the girls, than that Chris the Bachelor finds someone... I get that he has to get to know all of the girls, but, yick, I shouldn't have to think 'yick' so much, during half an episode - hahahaha!  Yick!

Well, hopefully, some of the girls will seem more interesting, and not just drunk and crazy, someone good to root for - so far, I got nuffin'... I like the Special Ed teacher, I think, because I just like Special Ed teachers - lol!  And there's that one girl who looks like a young Courtney Thorne-Smith, except the girl on The Bachelor has the CrazyEyes - holy schmokes, batman, that's fun to watch for about a minute, and now it looks like that's really how she looks... and doesn't appear to be a whole lot goin' on behind the eyes... when they say, 'The ayes have it, for sures they're not talking about her... haha!  No, me jokes. These poor kids, they're just all looking for someone to love... and I hope they all find someone nice, and the ones who look so sad, hope they all learn to love themselves, first, so they can't be so hurt by people who might misuse them.... or, at least, they'll bounce back, faster, if it doesn't work out with any particular person, because there's always another great person to come along, right?  Someone should tell that to all the girls - and all the Bachelors and Bachelorettes, since so many of them end up on their own, eventually... lol!

Always does make me laugh a bit, though, when you think of the scenario - imagine people throw 30 possible 'suitors' in one room for you to check out, and you literally have to chose a 'wife' or a 'husband' from the litter... so-to-speak... and I guess I can't be bothered with Chris when he keeps saying, I'm here to find my wife, then goes off and kisses ALL the girls?  Yuck.  That's pretty disrespectful to your 'future wife', Farmer Chris... haha!  See why all the 'yick!'? Nooo... but can't wait to see Jimmy Kimmel on The Bachelor with Chris Soules, next week - add some laughter, and not for tripping over a carpet... something actually funny... hmmmm....

Okay, you know 'll watch it al the way through... and if you haven't watched Jane the Virgin, yet, you're'a gonna love it, and it's on the CW - soo great, so funny, so clever - all the stuff you'd like to see on the Bachelor, and will see when Jimmy Kimmel goes on The Bachelor - oh, and I hope Jimmy Kimmel gets to do The Baby Bachelor on the regular Bachelor, too - is so funny : )

Feel great about yourself, no matter where you are on the Dating Spectrum - anything at all by Louise L. Hay at Hay House will make you feel great : )

Hello, Luxury - Too Fancy For You? haha! You' Gonna Looove it! lol! 

Hot Sockie or Hot Sake? Both, you say? lol! 

Sock It to Me, Baby! 

You are gonna looove your fancy new Hot Sock! Is like pure luxury - haha!

Great Deals for You! (You're Welcome! lol!)

#SoreBack #SoreThroat #ColdCure #FeelBetter #Rice #Healing #Injury #SoreMuscles #SoreNeck (See a theme here? lol! Whatever hurts, add some heat, add some cold... whichever you like!)

And somehow I wrenched my knee drying my hands on a towel?? Whaat? That's so crazy! Age! haha! It throws you a curveball, sometimes! lol! 

Make Your Own 'Hot Sock' - lol!

Oh, I know what you're thinking - how could I have something as fancy as Ailsa's Hot Sock?  How could I have my very own Hot Sock?  Well, isn't this your lucky day? lol!  Me shows you how to make your own Hot Sock, and if you are maaay be wondering what is a Hot Sock?  I tells you - you are a'gonna loove it!  I've got mine around my neck, right now - feels great! haha!

So here's what you need -

Rice (any kind, no need for anything fancy, here... obvs - hahaha!)

                                   
A Men's size sock.  (I have a teenage son, and I buy him bags of socks, so he just went and got me one of his from a new pack o' socks ... and now I've made 3 of them...lol!) (Just occurred to me - I do have some really fancy women's socks, but they're mine, and way too fancy to use for this, since I like the over-the-knee socks - they're really pretty - hahaha!  But use whatever long socks you like -
: )

1 bag of White Rice will make 4 Hot Socks - yahoo!! 

So here's the tricky part - (nooo, is not tricky, me joke wit' you)... just pour a bunch of rice into the sock - maybe a cup or two... who knows - I just pour in the rice up until about halfway to the heel of the sock, then tie the sock around the heel bit.

I poured the rice into a measuring cup - was way easier to pour the rice into the socks! 

And, you might want to roll the sock down, a bit, 

so it's easier to get the rice into the bottom of the sock : )

See the knot in the picture?  Pretty fancy, I know - lol!

Then, pop your Hot Sock into the microwave for about 50 seconds - you can go anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds - don't worry, it's safe to put your Hot Sock into the microwave, no problemo.

Take out your Hot Sock, and put it anywhere that might hurt - or you want to sooth yourself, it feels lovely, you'll love it - you can put it around your neck, put it behind your back, put it on your arm...

You could put it in your bed, like a hot water bottle, only no worries about any leaks - lol!  Is just lovely, and so easy to make - let me know how many you've made, by the end of the first week with your new Hot Sock - hahaha!

So here's how I remembered about the Hot Sock - I think I made these, years ago, can't remember, now, but here's what happened on the weekend that made me go into the kitchen and make the Hot Sock for myself... I was writing to my sister on Saturday morning, earlier than I would normally be up on a Saturday morning, and I heard this little yelp-like sound out in our hallway.

I listened for a few seconds - time went very slowly - and realized it was a person - at first I thought it was a kitty, someone's little cat having escaped their apartment, but then it became apparent that it was a woman. so I went out to the hall, had on my dressing gown, since I had just gotten up, and was definitely not planning to go and save anyone... anyway, there was an older woman in the hallway, she had fallen, and was unable to lift herself up.  At all.  In that, she could not roll herself over to lift herself up, nothing.

This is a very serious turn of events, because I didn't make the connection that she was entirely unable to lift herself up, since she had just come back from getting her mail, right?  So, if someone is able to go and get the mail, you would assume they can right themselves, wouldn't you think?

So I called for my son to come out and help, and between the two of us, we tried to brace her enough to lift her up, and that was entirely unsuccessful, but she put all her weight on me, and it pulled my arm, which is already my 'sore arm', from a previous injury from a Special Ed student, years ago - took forever for that to heal - 20 years... which is crazy.... anyway, I thought we would brace her, and she would at least help us to get her up, but that's not what happened.

I had initially asked if I could call for help, and she had refused that, and this is important to know - if you call for help from 911 services, and they send an ambulance, the person who calls can be held liable for the costs - not fair, but that's our new reality, unfortunately enough.

Really, I should have called for help, I shouldn't have put myself at risk for someone else, who clearly did not have my welfare in any regard, probably because of her immediate situation, but when I told her our names, she didn't tell me her name, and it took quite a while for her to eventually tell me her name, sooo, that probably means she is not normally friendly enough to make any real human connections, because at no point did she say, oh, I need to call my daughter, or my son, or my frined... she did tell us she'd lived in her apartment for 26 years...

Anyway, Thank Goodness, another neighbour came along, and I asked him if he would help us get her up, and back to her apartment, and I had asked this older woman if she had a walker, which clearly she needed - you know those walkers with the locking mechanism, and a little chair attached?  That's what she clearly needs, and she did say that she needed one, but didn't have one, she said she needed a doctor's note to get one.  I contacted the 911 services, after the incident, let them know what had happened, and asked them to please follow-up with her, to make sure she has whatever services she might need, and a walker, so this doesn't happen, again. And someone needs to make sure she has good shoes with good traction, that she can easily put on, and not wear those crazy little crocheted slippers - those crocheted slippers are so dangerous - they've probably caused countless falls with seniors - they love those stooopid crocheted slippers - we need to put a stop to that ... No more Crocheted Slippers! lol!

So, we eventually got her back in her apartment, but it definitely brought to mind the book I just read, not that long ago, by Atul Gawande, Being Mortal, about how a fall for a senior can be the beginning of the end, for so many people, sadly enough.  So here's my take-away for my own life, and hopefully yours, as well - now I am even more determined to always keep my body fit and healthy, not so heavy that no one could lift me - that's a scary thought, but a lot of people can find themselves in that position, a few pounds here and there, it just keeps adding up (this older lady was very heavy, and it was impossible for me not to think of Rosie O'Donnell's story, of when Rosie O'Donnell helped the very heavy woman who had fallen and asked Rosie O'Donnell for help, so Rosie did what almost anyone else would do, and went over to help - it's the Good Human reaction, right?  And then Rosie had a heart attack, from the pressure on her own body... so I was super-worried that might happen to me, too, since I had tremendous pain in my chest, arm, shoulders, neck... you get the idea - was scary, and that's how I remembered about the 'Hot Sock', and it really is helping...)

And I had lost my motivation to go to the gym, these days, mostly because I don't like the new gym, with all the good equipment from the last gym, not there - grrrrr... so annoying, and I didn't even want to go back to the new gym... they just moved from the old location to their new, and very fancy, location - and is a crap gym, but will go back, probably tomorrow, see if there's anything of use in there - am disgusted with the gym not taking women's needs into account - that's disgusting, infuriates me. The gym is not a man's domain, the gym is for everyone, and to ignore or belittle the needs of women, at the gym or anywhere, is appalling to me.  I've gotta get over my hatred for the new gym, just go see if there's anything at all that I can do, to make sure I am always a healthy weight, and can always, always lift myself up.

Wow, that really hit home with me - practice getting up every day, especially as you get older, make sure you are a healthy weight, or as close to it as you can, it's not a matter of being perfect, it's a matter of being able to manage your own body, all on your own.  Apparently, that's the deciding factor in when they can decide you have to have full time care - interesting, right?  I didn't know that, before.

Otay, soo, make yourself a lovely little Hot Sock, pop it in the microwave for 50 seconds, enjoy!

To Healthy Living!  Ailsa : )

Quick and Lovely Update:  So I happened to see my older neighbour when we were both down getting our mail, the other day, and she is up and about, she has a fabulous new walker, all very fancy AND functional, the perfect combo - and she looked so happy, so I am thrilled with all of that - how wonderful is that?  So, we did do the right thing, and I hope I was able to help with the emails I sent out - so, if you can help, do help, in whatever little way you can - who knows what a nice difference you might make, right?  And I said to her, "Yahoo, you got a new walker!!!"  I don't know if she's used to that level of exuberance, but that's who I am, soo, I decided to just be me, and it all worked out - so, you just be you, too, and just think how much happier we all will be : )




I Am Perfectly Healthy.

I'm Hapy, I'm Healthy, I'm Independently Wealthy! (All Good! lol!)
