HippieChick58 comments on Oct 11, 2018:

A few years ago I got rid of most plastics in my house. I made my own personal wipes to replace toilet paper. The only place I have TP is the guest bath, and under the counter because of the kitties. My wipes get washed and reused. I rarely use tissues, I use hankies; again wash and reuse. I make my own soap, tooth paste, deodorant, moisturizer. My shampoo is a bar of soap. I eat natural foods, as close to nature as possible, few additives or preservatives. I make my own lip balms and candles. I'm not perfect, but work in progress.

Ciao! And good journey.

I'm frustrated by two things that are beyond my control.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 10, 2018:

Congrats on the pounds you've taken off and your desire to change your life. I strongly suggest you talk to a nutritionist. Most docs don't have much training on nutrition, and what they did have was in med school. Things have changed. I stopped working on Sept 7th, and my first fast was the evening of the 7th to the evening of the 8th. It is called intermittent fasting, do a google search. I am not diabetic, but I've been pre-diabetic for years. I am fasting at least once a week some weeks twice. At my heaviest I was 280 pounds. I have lost and gained 50 or more pounds for years. Since I have been off work I've been walking almost every day, and then winter started. So now I've joined a gym. I gave up sugar about 4 years ago and lost 30 pounds, put some of it back on with my last job, and now that is coming off. I had to cut down on my meds for hypertension. I want to be healthy for my grandchildren, I want to get up off the floor with a modicum of grace. Good luck on your journey.

Happy Birthday, John.

Some medicine reminder apps.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 9, 2018:

Thanks for sharing that. My daughter is temporarily disabled, she had foot surgery, is NWB (non weight bearing) and had a 5 month old baby so I'm doing Grammy duty, and driving her home from work every day. She also has some anxiety issues which are not helped by her current situation. Last night she forgot to take one of her meds, it is a new one I am unfamiliar with. It has some awful side effects when you try to wean off, those include heightened anxiety, burning sensation on the face, nausea, and dizzyness. So, I got a call today that she needed to go home early. I will recommend this app to her, because that is definitely not a good med to skip.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 9, 2018:

My kids told me to have at it, and as long as the guy treated me well, they'd be happy. They have all lived with their dad as adults, and they realized a) he was no picnic, and b) they're happier/less worried with us divorced.

Today marks 28 years that I became a US citizen.

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 9, 2018:

My middle daughter was born in Germany 30 years ago. She does not have dual citizenship, she has a certificate of live birth abroad. Signing her up for anything that required a birth certificate always required a long conversation as to if it was "real". Connie I think the US has benefitted from having you, and I know this group has as well. Happy Citizenship Anniversary and many many more!

My cats like to visit me in my sewing room and take over my work surface, which is a hollow core door covered with batting and muslin placed on short shelves to bring it to counter level. I frequently have to explain it is mine, I am busy, and the iron will not be kind to them if they mess with it. Gotta love the girlies, they keep us on our toes.

Take me to church?

HippieChick58 comments on Oct 7, 2018:

I attended my daughter's wedding in a church, and my grandson's baptism. I even read scriptures at the wedding. I was not struck by lightning nor did I burst into flame. I was so disappointed. All my kids know I am atheist, and my kids are pretty much atheist. The one that got married in church was making daddy happy. My SIL, father of the grandson is catholic, and he asked me several times if I was comfortable going to the baptism. I said oh heck ya, it's a good show. I also told him for anything Austin does anywhere, I will be there. That is what Grammys do.

Passenger opens the door and said something to the effect that he did not appreciate me dinging his car and I should be more careful. Then he told me that however, forgave me. At that I just laughed! And he sat back down and closed his door. I don't usually return rudeness for rudeness, but I thought that was about the best answer to his pomposity. Oh vey!
