:idea: a bit of wisdom we both should follow, is-
"The person who spoke most cruelly to him, was him. He decided he would start speaking kindly to himself, replacing any negative words with positive ones. He would choose language that supported, nurtured, motivated and, as often as he could, make himself smile. That’s how you treat someone you love." :idea:

Dude! That's Sam, the world's ugliest dog! Or at least he was, up until he died a few years ago. He's a hero to us all.

Beauty isn't measured by superficial attractiveness! It's what's inside that counts.

Provided, my own dog looks like this.

He even has his own Wikipedia page! Odds are the answer was yes.

It was a Vitamin D test as I was a bit low.


Supplements and vitamin-rich foods aren't enough in this situation.

If you don't get enough sunlight, your health is going to suffer in the long run.


Where I live sunlight is dangerous as it has UV rays that cause melanoma or cancer so if we go out in it we have to put sunscreen on.

You still have to have either mid day exposure to sunlight coming in from a high angle or Vitamin D supplements. In a seminar given by Dr Holick, the world's top expert on Vitamin D, he said that in the winter time you aren't going to get much Vitamin D from sun exposure any place further north than Atlanta, Georgia.

I try to take 5,000 international units a day, but I often forget to take it.

I'm not sure that you can manufacture much Vitamin D if you have sunscreen on. Fortunately, it doesn't take all that long an exposure, but it must be in the mid day.

Thirty minutes twice a week in the middle of the day should be enough.

If you wait until the sun is lower in the sky, it won't help much.

In the summer the dangerous part of the day is between 10:00am to 3:00pm so its best to go for a walk early morning, The winter is better as I can go outside any time of the day.
