Hi Bruun and friends! I am woefully uncaught up but really wanted to pop in and say hi to you! Sounds like you might be feeling a bit better? I sure hope so! :l

Tropical Traditions Gold coconut oil on sale 50% off - I think. I just got a big bucket so deleted the e-mail yesterday. Then realized maybe I should mention it to all you coconut lovers here! Space - how is your pet coconut?

Ne - you must be done now. I am jealous! I'm still in the throws of the final stretch with much reading/writing/studying/test taking to do. :upset: One day at a time, right?

Look forward to properly catching up sometime before Christmas!

Ru, you had to explain the 'joke' because it's not funny. Soz, but try again.

Lushy, DO try gabapentin, it's the dog's bollocks! Plus, for Christmas I would like an enormous chocolate cake, please. I'm going through another choc phase and my appetite can not be sated!!!

What great stuff!
Red, super bummer...I'm looking forward to hearing about Dr. L's input. Unrelated to your experience and input, though I wish I had time...I was very distracted last night by an overwhelming need for chocolate chip cookies. With full on fat. Full on sugar. Full on flour. Sorry, peeps. I do not have the discipline or wherewithal that you do.

Rudy, :H:H zero and eight. Reminds me of a song by...who? dang. I can't remember. The whole song is about 7 ate 9. Super fun.

DG, I'm DONE! Holy Guacomole DONE DONE DONE! (sorry. I feel your pain. Soon enough, though, you'll be singing the same tune. woop!)

I know I'm forgetting and leaving out and wanting to write more, but I'm supposed to be somewhere in 17 minutes and haven't bathed, walked the goose, meditated, exercised, or eaten. These are all things that I promised myself I would do consistently when I was finished with school. Doesn't look good for being on time, does it?

Finally, though,YAY, Brrrrruuuuuuuunnnnnn!

You really are an inspiration, you know. :l

(and can I just add, and not to take away from the accomplishment at all, that I wonder why you would change things up at this point when the world seems to be spinning on a relatively consistent orbit? hmmm. orbit is not the right word. Someone correct that thought, will you? oy. Now I'm gonna obsess. blech.)

hope it's a good day, friends!

I'm sure everyone's just too polite to tell you, but your stench is keeping everyone away. Go take a shower, you bum.

Space, please don't feel bad, I am so sorry to bring you down too. Most of us singletons are loners after years of drinking, I escape from potential social occasions all the time. One of the recurrent themes here on this thread and forum is to MAKE yourself get OUT. I always feel better after a couple of hours or more out of the house with others. Even if I'm not with others, I can still feel better just running errands vs sitting around the house becoming gelatinous.
Concur, concur, concur!!!!

Kombucha update. My tea has a mother/scoby, I just left the stuff out for a couple of months and neglected it and magic! So I did the feeding tonight and transferred into a bluish glass gallon antique jar my friend gave me, I feel good using it for healthy reasons and putting it to use too. There's alot of scrum in it, bits I'd probably want to filter out before drinking it in a few weeks - could it be dead mother bits? Mother had some brown on one side, I think she was ill and is now probably getting much happier. Is, do you know?

Don't have time right now to catch up with the rest of the thread just yet, but saw this and wanted to respond. She's not dead! I have brown bits on my scoby too, as well as all kinds of funky looking bits floating around in there too. It's all good. I also filter after my second fermentation. Did I read that right... ? You're not planning to drink it for a few weeks yet? Have you tasted it? It should still be just the slightest bit sweet, and the second fermentation (assuming you want it to get more fizzy, you can always skip this part), really only needs to be for a few days, maybe up to a week.

Congrats on the kombucha! :goodjob:

It's actually got a lot to do with what my ex-therapist was having me work on, which is what we tell ourselves, and what we believe about what other people say about us. I really had no idea my own mind was out to get me until I became aware of it, and the key is catching those thoughts, and not "agreeing" with them, and instead making new "agreements" about ourselves. I just ordered the companion book, which talks about bringing that stuff into action. In any case, it's a very quick read, so you have nothing to lose by reading it! :l

Methinks that this will be one of the first books that I buy for my new Kindle.

Of course, when you're already suffering from insomnia, and need something to sleep this can be a problem. :H I vary from not being able to sleep, to not being able to stay asleep. It's not necessarily better on the days that I don't take my Adderall, however. Then again, the last 2 nights I've slept like a log. I think it's HDB related. The Vyvanse sounds like a good option, Is. I wonder how expensive it is? Is there a generic of it yet?

Nope, there's not. Just picked up my first Rx. I have pretty kickass health insurance, and for most generics, I pay about 3 bucks. The Vyvanse was $30.

Yesterday and today I made my own "extended release" version of the last of my trial Adderall - 10mgs in the morning, and 10mgs again around 1pm. I found that one dose lasted about 5-6 hours, so doing it that way allowed me to keep going all day w/out the crash. Hopefully the Vyvanse will function similarly. I'll let y'all know.

I don't know about a song, but I know a joke - why was 10 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9 (say it out loud). :H It's goofy, but I like it. Reminds me of my other favorite joke which is also a play on words (I :h words!).

And with that, I actually HAVE caught up with the rest of the thread! Woo hoo! Only because my best friend is running late. Whenever she gets here, we're heading out to the beach for an evening stroll and a chat. Who knows what after that. It's our last time together before she and her husband head back to Israel on Thursday. I'll make sure to stay present and just focus on the time we have though!

Hope everyone is having a lovely evening. :l

Zowee, I had to take notes again to respond to y'all, what a bunch of fun and friendly campers you are!

Lush, thanks for the hug, and by the way I started the gabapentin during PMS and it really helped me again. NE, you asked why I threw that in the mix when all seemed to be well, but all wasn't well, maybe you missed my whinging post about how crap I felt, such depression and anxiety? Anyways, praise gabapentin, The Other Miracle Drug (giving the nod to bac).
SB, thanks for all, I'm still doing well, just watching my thoughts and my hunger and my thoughts. Your meetings have the same effect as Rudy's going to the store does. I think Rudy has some super stimulatable endorphins, with all that happiness and running in the throes of a divorce and difficulties.
Rudy, I bow to your better genetics or raising or whatever got you all that good stuff, you manage to sound like I felt when I had my first true love. LOL, that sounds effed up, my first "true love" like you can have many? Isn't that an oxymoron? Well, I'm hoping you can have many because I want at least one more in this life. Although the linguistics I would chose to describe the experience would not be "true love" because I guess I associate that with forever myths and fairy tales like Prince Charming and all that shite. So I'm babbling.... I have my annual review in a few minutes so .... instead of bracing and reviewing, I'm babbling.

Hey DG, thanks for the tip on the sale. I keep giving CO away along with my oh so expert advice on everything to everyone, I should buy more!

Taw, you still doing well and AF or low? I need to get updated on the threads, this was selfishly my first stop today.

Is, again - the tea - I want it to fester and blister a bit more because I just added a ton of sugary tea which bothers me to think it hasn't had a chance to ferment. And Holy Shite about the RX $. Question: Does taking the 3x adderall (sp?) make for good sleeping? If it does, that would be wonderful news.

My river RX came Monday, I'm guessing it was less than two weeks? This is the one that I posted the letter I got from them wanting a doctor's name. I haven't backtracked on this thread to figure the timing but just in case anyone's waiting on their shipment....

Good day to you all, hugs and good karma. My new book about life and death (forgot the title already but think its The Tibetan Book About Life and Death!) says to have a peaceful death, you must work toward having a peaceful life. So peace out, breath in, breath out, it will be okay, you will manage it, you always have, you always will, peace in.

Nah, B. I thought you posted somewhere that you were giving up the bac. The gaba sounds good. Mx has been telling me about it for months...But ya' know. He was a guy...before he was a gal and well, ya' know, I ignored him.
That's great news about the shipment!

Hi, Is. Looking forward to hearing about the new med. Hope you enjoyed your walk on the beach!

Bruun's Titting UP

LOL, NE,

Very funny post.

You're right, I was dosing down on bac only because I was running out and also not sure it was doing much that can't be done at lower doses. Turns out if I don't exercise, I have to take it, if I do exercise, I don't - muscle relaxation and stretching thing, I"m sure. Sedentary job that I have, sedentary couch potato that I am.
