Tell him you are tested enough by life. You don't need additional testing. Your home should be a sanctuary where you are supported by people who love you. You are doing great by saying no so many times. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I don't know if this will work for your BP plan, but I use "Lite Salt" which is about half potassium and half salt. My husband uses "No Salt" which is all potassium. Should be available next to regular salt.

My aunt used to drink decaffeinated tea and keep her feet elevated when she was pregnant. The tea is a mild diuretic. I don't know if that will work for you. I hope you feel better soon.

Maybe you should post in the Chit Chat forum

I also suffer from depression. These things have worked for me, but may not apply to anyone else. Exercise. Sometimes I have to force my cranky self to do it. Light. Sunlight or a light box has really helped. Eating less simple carbs. For me, the longer I go with out sugar or simple carbs, the better I feel and the less I…

I always drank tap water until my last move. The water here is gross. I didn't want to pay for bottled water, so I got this type of water dispenser. https://www.amazon.com/PUR-18-Cup-Dispenser-Filter/dp/B00IK5A4U8/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1481385823&sr=1-1&keywords=pur+water+dispenser It holds more than a…

I usually wear some thermal underwear under my clothes in the winter. I like the ones that are smooth instead of the waffle weave. The waffle weave is irritating to me, especially on the backs of my knees while sitting. ETA: I have some that I bought when I was heavier and they are still fine under my clothes. Some are…

Tell her diabetes causes kidney damage, and if you eat this cookie she'll have to give you one of her kidneys.

I bought a variety pack like this from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Quest-Nutrition-Protein-Bar-Seasonal/dp/B0161R76YI/ref=pd_sim_325_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WMFS5N719J3RV8RTPY0V

I think you are setting a great example for your kids - being adventurous and taking care of yourself and loving life.

in addition to the "Quote" "Insightful" and "Awesome" buttons, we now need one for "Jealous" :wink: sounds fantastic!

SueInAz has some very good suggestions. Your situation also sounds to me like it could be ageism and sexism. I don't know if you would care to pursue that.

Have you tried club soda with spirits?

I am also boring and eat too much ice cream :wink:

I buy men's workout shirts and shorts. A large men's shirt can be like a XXL women's shirt. Men's wear is cheaper than Women's wear. Also the shorts have pockets. WalMart and Target have good prices.

+100 Remind him of his promise Tell him you'll stay on the condition that he goes to counseling and/or you go to counseling together. You are being punished, but you HAVEN'T done anything wrong.

You should be able to "check out" audio books from your public library.

I second this. My aunt found "Sea Bands" to be really helpful. I think there available at Target or Walgreens.

I buy men's shorts with pockets. They are cheaper than women's shorts without pockets.

Mayonnaise. Preferably Duke's. No Sugar. Full Fat. :smiley:

I don't have experience with this, but will that be enough time to heal?

"Food Tetris" Well said!

I'm in the states. My university had an organization that dealt with tenants rights. It also had free legal advice. You could see if there is something similar at your school. You could document all the times you have called your landlord and his responses and no-shows.

I often buy men's workout wear. It's made for taller bodies than women's wear, and the shorts have pockets.

ask for a weight machine orientation. I think that's what it's called. Someone will ask you about your goals, show you how to use the machines, and set you up with a program at your level. There's no charge and you can ask for one at any time. Don't do just cardio; add resistance/weight training.

My refrigerator is broken. I think all the condiments and jellies and fermented vegetables will be ok. I will check them when my fridge is fixed. Some chicken in the freezer is still frozen, and I'm going to cook it today. Yoghurt should also be fine; it will just make more yoghurt bacteria. I'm considering boiling the…

You are my hero! :smiley:

I think you should let them know about the staff that have been rude to you and unresponsive to your complaints about rules not being followed.

I don't log anything from my garden that I eat before I get inside. :wink:

Do they still make Fresca? I think there used to be a Peach Fresca.
