What is it about watching humans graze and wind up with numb tongues that I find so entertaining? LOL
Okay, kidding aside…

A lot of what he said went over my head (due in part to that fact that I’m currently digesting dinner), but I love the view of that field and those hills.

Ironically enough “numb tongue herb” is a bit of a tonguetwister if you try to say it several times fast:)

Careful with that dinner there. A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the…… well, you know the drill. I think I recently gained 3 pounds after making some chocolate cake from a recipe by a YouTuber named freitasex. Wow, that guy knows his way around a frying pan!

HOLY BASIL, BATMAN! I mean Blinkman…. I think I need some. (what was he saying is the other name for it? I couldn’t understand him) I could use some Melissa extract…. man! If I took all the things I need I wouldn’t have room for food! I’m heading to the apothecary tomorrow to stock up… I have my notes, THANKS! These are awesome vids!

I had no idea about the medicinal benefits of marshmallow. This vid was jam-packed with very useful info… I think I need to watch it again… my mind couldn’t absorb all that at once, a bit of ADD perhaps AH, MELISSA (wasn’t that a song?)

Glad you’re enjoying the series Dorothy!

The other name was the Latin name for it. There’s no way I could spell it properly without trying to look it up on Google so I won’t attempt it, LOL.

I take a few supplements myself. Yikes, they’re pretty expensive and if you took everything everyone makes claims for, it would empty your pockets out several times over, LOL. After reviewing all these vids I think I might add some Hawthorn berry extract to what I take already, but that’s about it.

Yep, it was a lot to absorb. It was hot and he was rushing through things to finish up. A few of the people were looking a little stressed out from the heat. Hmmmm, I can’t remember a Melissa song at the moment. The only thing that pops into my head is “Mandy” by Barry Manilow. Now I can’t get it out, LOL.

Hey you’re not supposed to get a sunburn in the UK. Especially not this time of year. On the other hand the leaves are off the trees so you don’t have as much protection should you decide to take a naked run through the forest, LOL.
