I hope I'm not getting sick again! Zinc for me.
This cold I have has been wicked.
I had I suppose laryngitis (or at least some kind) for what felt like a week or two. I've been trying to take @kelly_c_77 advice & take either zinc/Airborne Vitamin C Probiotics when I can remember.
My eczema is already flaring up this winter too. I remember one winter my eczema on my hand was so bad from scratching that a customer asked if I was a burn victim.
Yes! Zinc, zinc, and more zinc!
Sorry that your eczema is so bad.
And why do people feel so comfortable asking a question like that? Mind your own business, people.
We got our first snow yesterday too and they canceled school.0 -

I was reading an article about zinc, apparently it’s good for eczema and all sorts of skin problems. Might be worth looking into taking it regularly?0 -
I boycott Dark Thursday and Black Friday.
I refuse to take part in that madness!!!
I hate that it has travelled to England. We were perfectly happy with our Christmas Sale madness and now this as well. The worst part is that we have gone over the top about it. I just heard an advert on the radio say 'Black November' so now its the whole friggin MONTH?! WTF.
I saw that too. And we don't even have Thanksgiving so there's no context to it at all!1 -

Also, when I eat other sweets like cake or cookies taking more insulin to cover the carbs does the same thing. My doctor asked me; "And where did you go to medical school?" I said; 'Oh I just know this stuff because it works for me alright." He told me no I think you better listen to me but I don't.
Tell me you aren’t serious
I promise you nobody is judging you @eugeniaramage , it's comes from a place of worry. I hope you can indeed find something that works for you and doesn't worsen your health. Good luck!0 -

Black Friday is a big thing in Canada here too.....I usually avoid it, but I did go one year to get my kids TVs for Christmas.
I avoid it, unless there is something very specific I have in mind. I got my exercise bike in Black Friday a couple of years ago and I have a feeling I also got my Withings Scale about 5 years ago, that is all I have bought. If Fitbit participate I might consider a new one if I have the money.
At least nobody is missing a special dinner with their family for black Friday sales in the UK. As someone with a handmade business it irks me that people expect me to drop my prices for no reason other than they do it in America.0 -
I am officially a chocolate w#•r€!!!!! I cannot have it around or I will devour with no regard for anyone else.
You will see me squatted in the corner and growling at anyone that comes near me.
Snickers are only slightly more safe than Milky Way bc I don’t like peanuts. However, I will eat them just to get the chocolate.
This is not something that I am proud of, but I cannot be trusted around chocolate.
Bahahah you crack me up. I prefer a Milky Way any day of the week.
I strategically avoid that isle in the supermarket unless I have a game plan.
American milky ways aren't the same as British ones. They're more like a mars bar. I can't say no to either!1 -
Confession:
My plans for this evening once the kiddos are in bed involve eating my baby's leftover chocolate birthday cake and knitting a bobble hat all while watching a bit of Strictly Come Dancing (dancing with the stars).
I am truly living a rock and roll existence.4 -

New thing I saw today, a Christmas Eve box. So now kids get presents Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Do they think parents can just pull money out of their *kitten*?1 -

I can’t do that. As long as I have to look for s goodie I’m safe. Sorta like out of site out of mind0 -

Way to kick butt @crosbylee!
We had our first snowfall/ice storm here on Thursday & I still can't get over the people that come out shopping for the most inane items when it's extremely bad. At least a few people needed a break from driving around 1-2 hours getting back from a job that was only 30-45 minutes away.
I had a family that moved from the south & had to buy all the essentials which is understandable, because I know some of the southern states get snow, but not as much as the northern part.
There are two people in my neighborhood with snow shovels, myself and my neighbor from Missouri.1 -

I've noticed Christmas Eve boxes in the UK this year too. It's basically a wooden box with the kid's name on and a few bits to enjoy on Christmas Eve like a dvd, festive PJs, hot chocolate etc. I feel it's just another way to get parents to spend money. You can have a nice Christmas Eve tradition without spending more. We tend to be visiting family or have family visiting Christmas Eve anyway.2 -

Those parents are working too hard at being friends with their kids. There's a thing called delayed gratification that is awfully good for them.3 -

I'm lethally crabby today. I'm gonna lock myself in my office and hope no one comes looking for me. I'm not sure I can be liable for any heads that are bitten off today.2

I'm crabby too. We should meet in Wichita and hide out with Mo at Pizza Ranch.... No wait, Mike is home this week. Better leave them alone. What else is sort of in the middle?3 -

Being from a split home growing up, we always opened gifts from my Dad's family on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas Day. I still open one gift on Christmas Eve in honor of my Dad.3 -

I'm not really in the middle, but not really too far from Mo.
