  1. Trying Again

    by on 04-07-2009 at 05:17 PM (Metamorphosis)
    I need a reality check, but it has to be a positive one. Not coming from the place I was in when I wrote the previous (deleted) post. When I wrote that I was having a stange moment sparked by an email I received from a raw marketer that I subscribe(d) to. I won't mention any names, but if you got the email, then you know who I'm talking about. At first I was offended, then amused and defiant (writing the post), then I went into a funk. Instead of exercising like I thought I would, I went in ...

  2. Holy cow, it fit!

    I was standing downstairs watching a movie and ironing the laundry when I had this sudden urge to try on my wedding dress. I've been married almost 11 yrs. (come June) and did this once before with disastrous results. Last time, I couldn't even get it over my hips. Today, however, it fit perfectly. I don't know why this seems like such a momentous occasion, but it is. :)

  3. Day 100

    We've hit triple-digits, baby! Day 100! I celebrated first thing after DS9 left for school by taking a long hot epsom salt bath. I actually fell asleep in there for a little while.

    Okay, I'm seriously tired and sore this morning. My head and neck are all swimmy and I feel like I could pass out and sleep for a year. I first woke up at 4am though and was wide awake. I should have gotten up then but instead I got back under the covers and forced myself to sleep 2 hrs. longer. ...

  4. Looking for Advice on Treatment of Cold Sores

    by on 04-06-2009 at 04:46 PM (Metamorphosis)
    I'm looking for a way to stop or reduce outbreaks and speed up the healing time of cold sores. I have been cursed with cold sores since puberty. Four or more every year. I used zovirax for many years but it eventually lost effectiveness. Abreva only made the sores pop up in a different spot.

    I did a banana search and found a lot of old threads about cold sores. Between RFT and Natural News I came up with a lot of information. It seems that there are many things that cause the ...

  5. Curse you, Pasteur!

    We're running low on food, so we don't have a lot of citrus to juice. Well, we have none. So, Chris went to the store to pick up some agave and some other stuff for his siblings (we were babysitting) and he brought home some Odwalla grapefruit juice. We LOVE grapefruit juice. We also love Odwalla. But.

    We do NOT love Odwalla's grapefruit juice. Oh Lord. It was disgusting. It was vile. It was an abomination of nature! I took a teeny sip and my tongue was assaulted by a cloudy, almost ...
