  • My parents had both died before I had a long term lesbian relationship. I had been married to men three times. As far as my family knew, I was hetero. Dad would have disowned me. He threw my brother out of the house at Thanksgiving (early 70's) when he came in with an earring in one ear. Richard tried to explain that 'left…
  • Yes, the little guy is lucky to have a big brother like that. But, from my perspective it meant as much or more that a STRANGER (the store clerk) would step up and say what was said. Big brother loves me, but wow, a person who doesn't even know me understands, too. That is how I would feel in this situation. Now, the poor…
  • OK, I just got the book FATTY LIVER - You Can Reverse It . I have a Kindle and I bought it at Amazon.com for 7.96 USD plus tax.:smile: She is asking 20.00 for the paperback on her site.
  • Good Lord! I have every single one of these problems, underactive thyroid, high LDL, Type 2 Diabetes, PMS (when I HAD ovaries). http://www.liverdoctor.com/index.php?page=interesting-facts-about-the-liver Very informative site.
  • Wow! Lots of replies. I'm going to go to that Dr Sandra Cabbot's website you mentioned and check it out. I do know that fatty liver, left untreated can turn into cirrhosis of the liver and THAT is life threatening. I've been in denial for years, and most of the docs I went to just sort of shrugged it off. So, I did, too.…
  • I was born on my sister's 19th birthday. She never let me forget that I was the spoiled brat of the family. Whenever I had anything, she had it first. Don't get me wrong, I knew she loved me and she never treated me the way your sister seems to be treating you. My speculation, from what you have written: 1) You sister is a…
  • So, what you're saying is that MFP has figured into your base calories your current lifestyle/fitness level? WOW That's cool. It sure is working for me, because it seems I have lost six pounds in two weeks. My weight today was 222.2....true! :laugh:
  • Well! What happened?
  • Oops! I'm sure you'll win...I'm only getting about 30-45 minutes per day...LOL. Sorry I've gotten on here late, but I'll figure out how much I've done and post it tomorrow...promise!
  • My single resolution for the New Year is to stay off insulin! To do that, I joined here for the support (and access to the databases...LOL). Hearing from you all helps a lot! And, posting my exercising (even cleaning house counts!YAY) and daily intake makes me more aware of the decisions I make. So far, so good! The…
  • Wow...this got bumped up again. I'm in it to lose over 50 pounds.
  • Well, I'm going to be blunt. It sounds to me like you want to 'wish' the weight away. That won't work. I don't think it is a good idea, based on the way your worded your post. You're setting yourself up for failure if you don't have some sort of way to hold yourself accountable. Changing your method of keeping yourself…
  • HAH! If my upbringing was factored into my sexuality, I would be a very prim, proper, asexual, heterosexual farmer's wife. LOL. Nah, it was the fact that I was allowed to read SciFi...hehe....opened new worlds for me. RIP Robert Heinlin, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Anne McCaffrey and all the other magnificent pioneers!
  • I have an LG Vue+. I don't want or need a smart phone. I have a computer for all that. Texting is great, calling and being able to take pictures is about all I want to do with a phone. I love the slide out keyboard.
  • Really, if it is your gall bladder, they do laparascopic surgery...a couple of band aids and that's it! Amazing. Yes, and be sure to take your pain med and you're back up and around again in no time. It sure isn't the same operation they did back in the day when my mom had it done! Here's to having a quick diagnosis, with…
  • Well, I only very recently found out about the definition "Pansexual". When asked about why I was attracted to both men and women, the only label I had to use was 'Bisexual". I would try to explain that I was attracted to people more for their personalities than their looks or sex. It also had a lot to do with how THAT…
  • I did the same thing (USA) in October 2010. ER IEmerg) sent me home, said it was just the flu. Three days later, I was taken back, by ambulance this time, with a burst appendix. They gave me a pain shot at the ER the first time, but did not send me home with any pain meds...just meds to stop vomiting and diarrhea. Pain got…
  • Find your local FreeCycle website and join the group. Post a request for jewelry making supplies and/or tools. If you've not heard of FreeCycle, it is an organization/group of groups, that encourages gifting your unwanted items rather than throw them in the dump/trash/storage unit. I have given all sorts of things through…
  • Hah! It did more than make me smile. I snorted and giggled...def. going up on FB.
  • A dozen candy canes, which I promptly re-gifted. A bag of Lindt Truffles...I've gone through most of them already...although I did share ONE :bigsmile: . Million Dollar candy bars, baklava (a HUGE box full), muffins, a plastic candy cane full of skittles. A box of Sugar Babies and one of Hot Tamales... And, I've just…

  • Mayfield, KY here...about a half hour south of Paducah...and, may I say that, judging by the pictures of the people who have replied...you are all beautiful and NOT obese! Or, even overweight!
