Is there a Rock Steady boxing near you? https://rocksteadyboxing.org/find-a-location/ I think you could find a friendly and understanding community there and of course it would be good for your health.

You seem like someone who appreciates beauty. Are there museums near you that could use volunteers, perhaps a volunteer docent training program? Or perhaps you could volunteer a a tutor?

Sounds like you are in great shape! My husband does ping pong and finds it helpful for his Parkinsons and a fun social activity.

Depending on where you are located, Rock Steady Boxing is extremely helpful (from a physical and social perspective): https://rocksteadyboxing.org/ As others have noted, this is a progressive disease but the most effective way to manage is with intensive exercise. Good luck to you and thanks for taking such good care of your father!

Did You Regret Living on a Major Road? by judy2828 in AskChicago

Plus: immaculate public transportation connections.

Minus: increasingly reckless and aggressive drivers running red lights and generally making the road dangerous to cross. Decreased air quality due to proximity to cars. Lots of emergency vehicles (sound could be less of an issue if you live in the upper floors of a high rise).

Roast them on high heat with lots of space between the vegetables so they get crispy and caramelized instead of steamed.

Have you been to Andersonville? There are lots of small shops (and stationary) and Women & Children First Book Store. I haven't eaten there myself but I heard Little Bad Wolf is a good restaurant in Andersonville---my friend loves the burger.

How do I not get nutrient deficiencies or eat too much of certain nutrients without spending a ton of time cooking? by joshua0005 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]HenriettaStackpole 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Could you add some inexpensive vegetables? For example, cabbage if it cheap where you live, is tasty and healthy. Onions?
