One Step at a Time - November 2014

[Dottie Belle]

Glad u are doing well sun...I have never tried Rhodiola but the 5HTP made me feel strange. Tried an antidepressant way back when and that was the worst...somehow I got out but I do think exercise has helped me a lot...

Sorry all the sickies.

K9 - I am sorry but that was so funny. :rotfl: That sounds like something that I would do. :happy2:

Got to get back to work but wanted to check in.

PS - I use Quicken and it reminds me when to pay bills, etc. So, it's not the old fashioned 'balance the checkbook'.

Well mine is the old fashioned way,i hadn't had a bank account for 10 years,we sorta lived"off the grid"so to speak,i just opened this one a few months ago just to keep track of stuff,plus i was sick of getting money orders for everything,i'm sooo tired this whole week,watch me get sick right on thanksgiving! K9, sorry about your toilet mishap,sounds painful,Sun nobody's perfect and you're not drinking like a fish(like i would)so just chill,5 htp never made me feel weird,isn't it odd how bodies are so different?Lav swears by Amoryn,but i took it for a month and my heart was racing,it has 5 htp,rhodiola,and st.johns wort,who knows,i don't want to go the a.d route,just because i only feel sad sometimes,i just need a boost,Nora,i was gonna ask why you stopped wellbutrin,if you don't mind,i have a script for it but only took it once,i guess it helps with quitting smoking?i just hope all us sickies get better.....FAST

Pauly - in the past, I have used Rhodiola - just short term - it is very good - for me anyway - and my sister also has used it too, with good results. The only thing I have to stress is that I DO use the high dosage one. Never used anything else but - but it really does seem to help - and this time I was SO down and not sure if it is the Happylight or the Rhodiola or what - but something has really helped my depression. I am feeling so good again ... and yes the 5HTP really made me feel odd and I only took one dose - so did not take a second. Feel free to PM or e-mail me ....

Hugs, Sun XXXX

I wish exercise made a difference to me - it does NOTHING at all - ONE time it gave me a high - but other than that I never notice any difference at all if I do or do not exercise .......

[paulywogg]

Sun,sometimes excercise gives me brain fog,maybe cuz i fantasize about stuff during it(like hot guys)i don't wanna leave my fantasy world i guess haha

[sunshinedaisies]

Oh Pauly - I wish ........

[Dottie Belle]

Me too pauly...sorry it doesnt work for u sun....

Dinner with dad at the nursing home...food was fair but we did have a good visit. Seeing him this late in the day he is more confused....I had to laugh, while we were visiting in his room after dinner this lady came in to "visit" with dad....I think she likes him.. too funny....
Gym tomorrow....
I styled my hair before going out and the top is good it is the sides that are too short...need to cover ALL of my ears....it will grow....

Sunny glad your feeling so good! I'm like Pauly, its all or nothing for me when it comes to AL.
Busy day for me. The vet visit went well, only fifty minutes this time. They have her a bunch of shots and did some blood work. So far so good! She was so nervous that she slept the rest of the day. Now she's cuddling with her daddy. Did a little more food shopping, put together a calendar on line for my parents from all the kids and grand kids. Took me hours!
Anyway feeling accomplished this evening!
Early day for me tomorrow,so,off to bed. Sweet dreams!:heartbeat:

Dots,i had to laugh about the lady coming to your dad's room,when gramma was in the nursing home she had so many guys after her! She used to shoo 'em off,it was cute

[Dottie Belle]

sun - "Sun,sometimes excercise gives me brain fog,maybe cuz i fantasize about stuff during it(like hot guys)i don't wanna leave my fantasy world i guess haha " this was my me too about fantasizing....If only...
And sorry to you that the exercise doesn't help you...sorry for the confusion..I knew what I meant....LOL

[Dottie Belle]

pauly guess the need to be attractive lives on in our "golden years"...yes it was cute....the lady was very nice but she talked in circles just like dad....sad but nice...at least they all have each other...
PS there are more women there than men and I always thought dad was a handsome man...
