Thank you

My husband: the way he is attracted to me, understands me, appreciates me, has fun, he is intelligent, creative, handyman, handsome. My daughters and how they still want hugs and for me to sing songs like Circle Game at bedtime. Dancing. My dance partner. Health. Food. Home. Friends. The school my kids go to is so good for…

I also don't think anyone in this discussion is rationalizing within the discussion. Also just want to say that I really do have a low tolerance. One six ounce glass of wine keeps me very buzzed all night. One nine ounce glass is usually ok too. Two glasses is too drunk for me. Though if it's mixed drinks like gin and…

Yeah, the recent clown stuff is creepy. I also saw a prank video of people dressed up as horror movie characters, carrying an ax, and behaving in threatening ways to scare people when they were in an isolated location at night. I was surprised to see three Facebook friends liked that. It's definitely not smart. Personally…

What do you mean? Are you wondering about the medical issues? It's complicated because she has a few different medical conditions. One she has had her whole life, but it was worsened by suboxone (for heroin withdrawal, but she became addicted). She has pancreatic disease from the alcohol. So, she can't digest a lot of…

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. My family member was told she will die if she doesn't stop drinking. At least for a year. She has to go to the hospital every morning for treatments just to be able to function to stay alive. But, she still says she is not an alcoholic. And that she isn't as bad as the other alcoholic family…

I did say in my post that physical alcohol withdrawal requires medical supervision. And you absolutely need medical supervision for heroin. In fact my family member has spent decades struggling through the addiction to the drugs they give to help people get off heroin. It's so difficult. With the alcohol, I still feel like…

Heroin is a highly physically addictive drug. And anyone that uses it can become physically addicted. And involves severe withdrawal to stop using it. I have seen that addiction in my family. Some alcoholics are physically addicted and need medical supervision if they stop due to withdrawal. I have family members like…

I don't have Crohn's (as you know), so it might be different for you. I started with one cup a day and now drink 2 to 4 cups a day. I don't know if that's too much. But, I need the calories and seem to be doing well with it. My GI tract was messed up by antibiotics and another medical injury (as we have discussed). I can…

Looks like the person that started this thread is banned from mfp.

People can eat what they want to eat. It's not something to argue over. Fat is a healthy and essential aspect of diet. No one is afraid of it. Everyone is doing ok. I add oil to my food to increase my calories. If I ever need to reduce my calories the first and easiest thing I will do is reduce some of the oil because it…

Another lady on mfp posted one time about how her husband never went downtown on her. And she said she hopes he steps on a lego on his way out the door. Just stuck in my mind.

I know. People don't realize how little info we get from doctors. We have to figure most of it out on our own. That's how it works. We can look up info. We can ask others. Another possible option if we can afford it is physiotherapy. But, that's hit and miss too. And sometimes we don't need it and can get better without…

Oh yeah. I agree. Bananas are yummy in smoothies.

Only if you had a medical issue. Bananas aren't bad. And they are carbs and fiber that feed good bacteria in your gut as well. I just found that out because I am in a study about the gut microbiome. I was low in a specific bacteria that reduces inflammation (I do have an inflammatory disorder). One of the things they…

I thought that low fat was a thing of the past (except for people that find it helps them eat less calories or have a medical reason). But, about six months ago I joined a plant based diet group online. They are a great group! But, I was surprised how they promoted a low fat diet. So, the diet was high carb. I had to leave…

I know you weren't. :heart:

Just want to add that of course not all guys do this stuff, in these ways. There are just a bunch that do. And we know from our life experiences how bad things can go sometimes. But, a lot of the time it's just shouting and nothing more. My husband would never do these things. And I know lots of guys that wouldn't. And…

But, if something bad happens, it's our fault for walking places at night without a man.

And if you ignore them (walking by them at the train station) they switch to insults.

Yay!!! :flowerforyou:

What?!!?... :cry:

My brother was suspended for throwing cheese in class. When we read the slip and it said, Reason for suspension: throwing cheese, we were cracking up laughing.

No. He didn't even have candy or puppies or clowns. He was just saying, "Come on. We can go party together."

It's worse when they stop the car and try to get me to get in and keep following me trying to get me to get in. I keep saying no. They only drive away when I shout that I'm married. That's very creepy. Why would I get into a car with a persistent strange man?

Excellent work! You look great!

Everybody knows that we have pillow fights in there. That's why there are couches.

Lol. I noticed that too. I guess it's that whole married people being suckers thing.

That's where I am from. But, haven't lived there for almost two decades. Though, not sure I want to accidentally connect with the past.

I always got hives and GI problems from wheat gluten. I figured it out because it happened the worst when I ate isolated wheat gluten. I have elevated auto-immune markers and malabsorption of grains and some other carbohydrates, starch, and foods. And I get an auto-immune histamine reaction to foods. It's been very…
