Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 : For 2 of the 3 years I attended Sheridan College (fashion design) I lived on Belyea Street in Bronte. My room-mates and I used to do our laundry at a laundromat at the corner of Lakeshore and Bronte Road and while the laundry was washing we would go and read or sketch at Bronte Harbour. Small world. --- stimtimminss wrote: --------------------------------- Hi , I actually have had a reflexologist attend to Mom's nails and massage of feet and hands since entering a nh. She is a former RN who does this now, claims that massaging Mom's hands gets the fingers straight and relaxed for that time at least. Mom actually started reflexology while still living in her own apartment, when walking started becoming an issue with her Parkinsons symptoms so I feel it is something I should be continuing. I am hoping she still appreciates the " spa " treatment, but if not, feel it is of benefit and I feel better knowing it is being done for her. I will remember the circulatory sox if needed in future. Thank you for your good suggestions. I live in Bronte, near the harbour, work in " olde " Oakville, have a daughter still at Sheridan, illustration. Son graduated there from animation. Looking forward to the opportunity to meet soon. > > > --------------------------------- > Because of the information shared here about purple toes, lowered blood > pressure, bed > sores, I became proactive today and ordered my mother some lambswool > slippers.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Wow! I live the other side of the creek off Riverview. My kids went to Eastview PS, right by where you lived. Infill housing is taking over Bronte, lots of townhouses popping up in any empty lot, with the houses where you lived starting to renovate and enlarge. The harbour is a special spot. > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Because of the information shared here about purple toes, lowered > blood > > pressure, bed > > sores, I became proactive today and ordered my mother some lambswool > > slippers.
