    Belle Gunness: Lady Bluebeard

    Investigators gingerly peeled back the brittle lining of the small caskets buried a century ago in a Forest Park cemetery, revealing the remains of three children—orange-stained ribs, leg bones, pieces of skull. They were jarringly mingled with hair and bits of charred tissue, hinting at the...

    Ya know tracy, the annoying part is that he'll probably drop it just because he decided to, without even trying. Men are frustrating that way. lol

    Quite a few articles over the years of looking for relief. It's a symptom and a complicating factor. Losing some of the weight that inevitably creeps on due to the exhaustion and pain can help to keep the symptoms to a manageable level. An eternal battle, but, it seems to be a pretty...

    fluoride has come up many times and been researched. It's perhaps one small component of an overall chemical burden. But it still doesn't account for the stress factor which clearly plays a role, the hormonal factor which clearly plays a role, or the numerous other environmental issues...

    Yes I did. If there's one thing you learn when you come down with a chronic illness, it's to avoid any source of information that's willing to sell you a 'cure' as that site does. If there were a cure for fibro, we'd know about it. I've probably spent more than $1000 on assorted 'cures', such...

    Nope, it would just prompt him to build more cabinets in his garage for things he might buy down the road. Not much slows him down.

    considering that my husband gets home and goes straight to work on the house most nights, putting a new bathroom, fixing plumbing, redoing electrical... I can't really pry the power tools out of his hands. 'Giving' them to him would be downright hilarious. ***oh crap... I just got this...

    Nope, it was 'him'. I don't do the heavy lifting yard work often, so, the comment about tearing apart the yard and house only applies to him.

    I said "if he'd let me take up some room out there". I could use some light weights. And now that the stucco's gone and the trenching's finished, he could probably use some too. I don't really like the idea of destroying the house and yard on a yearly basis just to keep him in shape. lol.

    Oh, that would be sweet. But you have to get a big ghetto blaster, k? I'm thinking, honestly, about weight equipment for hubby's garage, if he'd let me take up some space out there.

    Do you know my hubby? He'll be fine with it MHz, but I'll be sure to tell him of your concern. lol. On a related note, last summer we stripped the house and garage of stucco, trenched in power to the hot tub and garage, took out an old deck, and removed concrete. We hauled over 4000 kilos of...

    I'm in a weekly Pilates class now, and now that I'm getting the basics down, I hope to add to that a mid week solo session. Plus more walking. And I quit buying wine on a weekly basis. *sob*

    I said 'get him to go for it too' meaning for him to get healthier too. lol. Not to have to convince him that I should lose weight. 10% for him is about exactly what the doc's recommended. I figure with two of us supporting one another, it's just easier.

    Recent articles on weight, diabetes, polycystic ovary disease, and fibromyalgia, have all touted the same magic bullet to either prevent, control, or bring about a remission.... Lose 10% of your body weight. I'm going for it. And trying to make hubby go for it too.

    Complaining about humanity

    I've been reading a lot on a few forums as of late, and a resounding message underlying many people's exasperated posts is one of anger, loathing, frustration, and disrespect toward humanity in general. Post filled with complaints and ranting, and in the end the declaration that humanity sucks...
