I am going to be in a alternate universe today Trying a 3 hr shift at a Turkey processing plant. If I take the job It will be 1 -1/2 day a week and less 1 shift a week at the county recycling center. I did this job 7 yrs ago 3 1/2 day a week and developed a very sore right wrist. I bought a good wrist brace.

Yes, every time my sister-in-law visits. I cringe everytime she talks to her kids and punishes them for no reason whatsoever. I'm sad everytime I get them birthday and X-mas presents because I go that extra mile to try to find something that their age group really loves and that matches their interests, and I know that they are only gonna be able to play with for a few hours before she takes it away and then only lets them have it for a couple of hours a week after that.

lol I am teasing you, i like going on lil sleep it just makes my days more productive.
Yeah, I know what you mean about that, I used to manage a QA team for a software company and during release time I'd work like a 120 hours per week to get everything tested that the developers dumped on us last minute so that we could make the publicly announced release dates.

I still remember my VP coming into my office one morning as saying "Is that a sleeping bag in the corner?"

i have meds i have to take, because of my heart. with the exception of the statins, which appear to be so harmful, they aren't worth taking, i am pretty good on taking them. nothing for pain, though. my blood is so messed up, and most pain meds will "bind you up", that i can't take them anyways. i dehydrate almost instantaneously, and when my blood gets poisoned, i'm in pure hell. i'd rather have the regular pain. at least most of it is in my legs. a headache is much too close "home", and can be debilitating.

in my case, thank heavens for that little green plant! i don't use 'till dark, but its rare if i don't. unfortunately, it is smoking. which i quit, except for that. unfortunately, it's bad for my heart, but i try not to worry about that until morning.

and i hope your weekend is great, as well!

Trust me it's hard not to. Things are so bad between her and mother that my parents have actually disowned my brother and are in the process of trying to figure out the best way to write him out of their wills in a way that will prevent them from contesting anything in court.
It's actually been quite a pain dealing with them now, because they don't understand that they can't just leave stuff in my son's name because everything has to go into a special kind of trust fund in order not to impact his future medicaid and SSI benefits because of his autism.
Dealing with family is a PIA sometimes.

not to go into one of my long, rambling posts, but i have that as well. did you know that the symptoms for fluoride poisoning are very, very similar to fibromyalgia? i have found that removing fluoride from your water and food has a huge impact on your level of pain. i still have massive, sometimes excruciating, pain in my legs, but according to my mom, her father had the same thing.

i try to eat organic, as much as humanly possible, and i only drink or cook with water that has gone through my royal berkey, with the special fluoride filters. for all but my leg pain, the difference is near miraculous.

Sorry, I think if it was meds that would help me live a little longer I would have no problems taking them. As for the green plant really do not have a clue why it hasn't been legalized I know people with cancer who swear by it

my doc told me that i needed a pacemaker to survive. i gave my usual, "fuck that", just on general principals. then he explained how they insert it and put a, what i call, garage door opener, and sew it into your chest.
wtf_question_mark_sign_smiley_emoticon.gif


there is no way that i could mentally cope with that! so he stuck a few more stents in my heart. the bright side is that got my disability!

right, but you can be careful of which veggies you buy. lettuce and cucumbers are mostly water, therefore, they are, or can be, loaded with fluoride.
remember that livestock is fed the same crap, in most cases.

i just moved to Albuquerque and the price of organics is pretty high. but i plan on making meals based around lentils and amaranth. grass fed, organic meats will help too, though also expensive. just remember that what is happening to you, could end up happening to your boys. perhaps a nice farmers market, or even a farm that is away from city limits, where most fluoridation is done, can save you money over organics.

(most lactose intolerance and problems with gluten, are also mimicked by monsanto's roundup pest products)

another thing that is recommended, is putting a chlorine filter on your showers. your body can absorb up to 6 cups of water, while showering. removing these nasty chemicals from your system can only help.

the reason it is hard to get it legalized, lays with the Bush clan. they sit on the board of Eli Lilly (name ring a bell?), along with the Quayles. that's where Dan Quayle came from and why Bush senior wouldn't dump him from the ticket. Eli Lilly is the sister company of IG Farben, the inventors of methadone. Eli Lilly holds the patent for methadone in the US. just recently, the formulary for medicaid was recently changed to exclude all but methadone for pain medication. hmmm, go figure!

I understand what your hubby means about working from home. The wife does a ton of work from home too, and I just hate to see her evenings and weekends get gobbled up in work that nobody appreciates her doing anyway. For free, and no comp days off.
