Hi all! :wave:

:tears: for Jerold... RIP Little Boy :rose:

now... the doctor had NO answers for all my Huz' symptoms... So
Zuri when you get time after hugging Knox - can you read these off to your DH and "see" what he thinks??

*Joint/muscle pain - seems to migrate from one place on my body to another - every day something new - always lower back and hip pain though - (definitely not arthritis per doctor). Like whatever controls the muscular joint around the bone, it feels like it goes limp and all my support disappears. (it's not the joint itself, but the area around it that does the pain).
*headaches
*bad taste in mouth
*food tastes like crap
*nausea, vomiting in the mornings (me: no he's not pregnant! LOL!)
*more forgetful than normal - (me: I can vouch for that!!)
*tremors
*loss of appetite
*loss of sexual function
*general fatigue
*chills and sweats and shaking
*hip and knee joints prevent confident in walking (hips go out) (me: he did fall once on the balcony... )
*feel pretty much like **** all the time
*swollen feet and lower legs
*hair stopped growing
*labored breathing
*constipated
*sleeping too much (me: he takes a LOT of naps during the day)

and the blood test came back negative for Lyme's Disease.

So.... :waitasec: What does your Huz say?? and a BIG :tyou: in advance!!

Okay - off to read my e-book, as someone beat me to the library to get the actual book... :gaah:

See you all tomorrow - take care!! :grouphug:

:seeya:

Do you have well water or city? And has he been checked for metals? Thyroid? I will ask my husband tomorrow as this list is good to work from. When did the symptoms start and what was going on in his life at the time? RA Factor? Hormone levels checked as in Testosterone? Has he had a brain scan? Has poly myalgia rheumatica been ruled out?

 

[Zuri]

Ok. Has anyone ever told any of you that you have a "resting bwitch face"? I heard this being discussed on several daytime TV show like "Kelly and Michael" and Hoda on Today. Or do you think you have one?

I definitely do. Most of the time I am smiling, but when I am thinking hard or focused, I get this look and I have had people ask me what was wrong. I know I am intense and not the most relaxed person, but is Botox the answer as one of the panel members on "The Doctors" recommends?

 

[Bernina]

LOL! I saw that on the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore last week..........I have that and my BF will ask me what's wrong, and I could be "zoned out", thinking about absolutely nothing (it's an art, really, it takes practice!).

I thought it was kind of funny, until I wondered why men can look, say, or do so many things and it doesn't get a label, but women do it and the connotation is sexist and negative.
Maybe they should call it the "Murder on My Mind" face.....then people would back off and let us be? :floorlaugh:

 

[daisymae]

Niner .... do the two of you eat lots of fish? And does hubby have amalgam (silver) fillings in his teeth? The mercury in those fillings does some bad stuff sometimes. That's what I thought of when you said he has a bad taste in his mouth. Does it taste metallic? Does he take Lunesta ... that drug leaves a terrible metallic taste.

What I need sometimes.

I can hear the sound of violins
I can hear the piper play
And every time the song begins
You just steal my heart away

The journey's longer than
I thought my love
There's lots of things
Get in the way
But every time I think of you
You just steal my heart away

Just like a morning
In May like this
See the heather on the hill
There's a place way up
The mountainside
Where the world
Keeps standing still

Just like the sunshine after rain
I'll come
To be with you will save the day
'Cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

Just like a morning
In May like this
We see the heather on the hill
There's a place up on
The mountainside
Where the world is
Standing still

Just like the sunshine after rain I'll come
To be with you will save the day 'cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cos I know
When I m with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cos I know
When I'm with you again
You just steal my heart away

'Cos I know
When I'm with you again

Japanese Artist Creates Fun Miniature Dioramas Every Day For 5 Years

Since 2011, Tatsuya Tanaka has been creating creative and playful miniature dioramas. Not only has he not shown any sign of stopping since we last wrote about him, but he seems to be getting better and better!

Tanaka has been collecting the creative images into an everyday calendar that you can follow on Facebook or his website. Most involve foods and everyday objects that most of us wouldn’t even give a second glance!

An atomic clock is accurate to within 1 second in 1,7 million years.

Barbie was introduced at the New York Toy Fair on 9 March 1959; her real name is Barbie Millicent Roberts and her parents are Ruth and Elliot Handler. Barbie has four sisters: Skipper (1964), Stacie (1992), Kelly (1995) and Krissy (1995).

Ken, Barbie’s boyfriend, debuted in 1961. Unfortunately, they split up on Valentine’s Day 2004.

A fathom is 6 feet (1,8 metres).

The word malaria comes from the words mal and aria, which means bad air. This derives from the old days when it was thought that all diseases are caused by bad, or dirty air.

On every continent there is a city called Rome.

The pleasant feeling of eating chocolate is caused by a chemical called anadamide, a neurotransmitter which also is produced naturally in the brain.

About 50% of Americans live within 50 miles of their birthplace. This is called propinquity.

The European Union has banned more than 1,100 chemicals from cosmetics. The United States has banned just 10.

Due to earth’s gravity it is impossible for mountains to be higher than 49 000 feet (15,000 metres).

It is not true that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure that can be viewed from space – many man-made objects, including the Dutch polders, can be viewed from space.

25 USES for EPSOM SALT......
1. Lawn and garden — Studies show that the magnesium and sulfur that comprise Epsom salt may help your plants grow greener, produce higher yields and have more blooms!

2. Pedicure — Combine 1/2 cup Epsom salt and warm soapy water, then soak your feet for 5 minutes to soften skin. Remove nail polish, push back cuticles, then cut and file your nails. Soak an additional 5 minutes in a warm Epsom bath for super soft feet.

3. Hair volumizer — Combine equal parts conditioner and Epsom salt. Work the mixture through your hair and leave for 20 minutes. The result? Hair full of va-va-voom and volume!

4. Facial scrub — This is one of my favorite Epsom salt uses. Mix 1/2 tsp of Epsom salt with your favorite cleanser; massage into skin using small circles to give your pores a deep-cleaning. Rinse your face with cool water, pat dry. This is one of the most refreshing Epsom salt uses!

5. Relax — Add two cups of Epsom salt to your very-warm bath water and soak for 15 minutes. You can purchase Epsom salt with lavender or eucalyptus for an extra-soothing bath experience. Be careful when standing up, you’ll find that you are VERY relaxed after your Epsom salt bath.

6. Sea salt texturizing hair spray — Combine 1 cup of hot water, 2 tablespoons Epsom salt, 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel and 1/2 tsp conditioner in a spray bottle. Spray salt mixture into hair and scrunch hair with your hand for pretty beachy-waves

7. Fabric softener crystals — Mix 4 cups of Epsom salt and 20 drops of essential oil to make DIY fabric softener crystals. Use 1/4 cup per load and add at beginning of wash. What a clever way to use Epsom salt, and also a way to save money!

8. Splinter removal — Soak your finger in an Epsom salt bath for easy splinter extraction.

9. Body scrub — After showering, massage handfuls of Epsom salt over wet skin to exfoliate the body. Get a spa treatment at home! Get more facial scrub recipes here.

10. Exfoliation — For exfoliation, mix 2 cups of Epsom salt with 1/4 cup of petroleum jelly and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Gently massage into dry patches for smoother skin.

11. Mosquito bites — Epsom salt can ease the symptoms of mosquito bites. Make a compress by soaking a washcloth in cold water that has been mixed with Epsom salt (2 tablespoons per cup of water), then gently apply to the bite area. This is yet another one of my favorite Epsom salt uses.

12. Sore muscles and arthritis — If your muscles or joints ache, an Epsom salt bath is a great way to find relief. Add 2 cups of Epsom salt to your very-warm bath water, agitate the water with your hands to dissolve it then soak for 15 minutes.

13. Tile cleaner — Mix equal parts of dish soap and Epsom salt for a super easy and effective tile cleaner. Rinse with clear water. This is one of the most frugal Epsom salt uses, a great way to save on cleaning supplies and to use a natural alternative to harsh chemical cleaners!

14. Bedtime bath for kids — Add one cup of Epsom salt to your kids’ evening bath to help them sleep more peacefully.

15. Headache relief — Evidence shows that that soaking in an Epsom salt bath can relieve headache symptoms.

16. Acne — Epsom salt has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties making it a fantastic natural treatment for acne.

17. Remove odor on hands and feet — Add 3 Tablespoons of Epsom salt to 1 quart of warm water and soak your hands or feet for 15 minutes. This will makes your skin soft, your nails shine, and also help remove foul odors.

18. Relieve constipation — Pour 8 oz. of drinking water into a glass, mix with 1 to 2 tsp. of Epsom salt and drink the mixture for immediate relief of constipation. Mixing directions are also found on most Epsom salt packages, consult your physician before trying this.

19. Sunburn relief — Dissolve two tablespoons of Epsom salt in 1 cups of water and spray on minor sunburns.

20. Draw out infection — For simple infections on hands or feet, soak in a hot Epsom salt bath for 10 minutes to help clear the area. Note, some staph infections are worsened by soaking in hot water, consult your physician.

21. Cure for common cold — Did you know that Epsom salt baths can speed healing by detoxifying your body and increasing your white blood cell count? Try an Epsom salt bath the next time you feel those first symptoms of a cold.

22. Reduce swelling — Epsom salt baths can help the appearance of bruises and reduce swelling.

23. Deter slugs — Sprinkle a trail of Epsom salt around the area you want to be free of slugs.

24. Blackhead removal — Mix a teaspoon of Epsom salt, 3 drops iodine and half a cup of boiling water. Dab this solution to your blackheads with a cotton ball to help naturally extract them.

25. Insecticide — Mix Epson salt with water, add to a spray bottle and spray on plants to naturally deter insects.

Good Morning All! I slept like a rock last night and boy, does sleep make a difference. Knox is doing well and being fed small amounts of hay and will get a hand full of grain today at 2 intervals. He was so glad to be back at the barn lol and my daughter went to check him at 9 pm last night, where she found him lying down, snoring. Since you don't want a colicking horse to lay down, she made him get up just to make sure he was ok. He reluctantly got up and she just sat in His stall while he quietly munched a half flake of hay.

Today marks 33 years since my brother's murder and I take this day to reflect on what is good in my life. There is so much to be grateful for isn't there. Because of my brother, I was lead here to WS, where I found all of you. You all bring joy to my life. I feel as though we are kindred spirits, each here for our own reasons, but with the common goal to touch, support and enrich others in our own unique way.

I hope you all have a blessed day. Xo

This is good to know Bernina. I haven't turned on my laptop in awhile as I use my iPad. I couldn't stand Windows 8 and I got a couple of viruses, even with the anti virus software. Dell was able to restore it from Indonesia lol for $100.

How is Zuri doing? Is she lame at all? I am so glad you dodged a bad outcome. I swear horses take 20 years off your life some days.

LOL! My stud snores! It's the sign of a very happy, secure horse!
Glad you are in a better place, Zuri. Time, patience, understanding, and a few miracles can make a huge difference.
