Daily Post--2/5/08

I have been trying to get the page to load so I could do this for HOURS! I hate, hate HATE dialup but it is more than that. I am guessing it is something to do with one of the OH servers as this happens a LOT for me lately and this isn't even the same computer I normally use... On the topic of computers--the processor in my desktop is dead. No documents lost, but not easy to replace either as it is a socket 478 (older) processor. If any of you have one of those puppies laying around, touch base with me PLEASE!! I need my computer back as cheaply as possible! LOL Today's post question... Hmmmm, let me think here! Okay, how about this: What do you do to help you remember to take your vitamins and/or other supplements each day? Lea

I have to leave them on the kitchen counter or I forget to take them. In this case out of sight is out of mind is very true. Carla

Great question. You just reminded me to take mine. LOL Guess I better come up with a better system to remind myself.I'll be reading these posts for sure. Patti

I don't have a system set up to remind me, I have just learned to make it part of my daily routine, like brushing my teeth. But I suppose if I needed to, I could set reminder timers on my cell phone or make sure they were sitting out in a place that would always remind me to take them.

I take my calcium in the a.m. with my first glass of water when I wake. I have one of those "granny" pill cases -- 'M-T-W-TH-F-S-S.' I load it up on the weekend and keep it in my handbag. I take my vits in the afternoon while at work... if I miss, I take them before bed with my glass of water on my night-stand. I've been good... missed four times in 14 mos. Thank you, Kim

I have mine lined up on the bathroom counter next to my toothbru****ake some in the AM and some in the PM when I brush my teeth. It works great for me

I'm much better at remembering during the week than on weekends. I have a ritual and a certain order I do things in each morning when I wake up. Since my morning's flow differently on weekends, I sometimes forget. I keep all of my medications on the counter in a bowl and divvy the day's doses out all at once.

I don't have a problem in the morning, but I can never remember to take my evening pills. My husband always reminds me. They are out of sight, so maybe I should take them out of hiding and put them on the counter. Jules

I just make sure to take my vitamins the same time every day. Just being in that routine, really helps me stay on top of it. That and I always make sure to carry 'extras' with me so that if I am not home, or where I should be, I can still take them! Christy

I keep mine in one of those daily pill boxes so I know that I have taken them in the morning and evening. Still doesn't always work..............sure sucks getting old and forgetful.......lol Sally
