Live your Life, live your life, live your life…

Precious Gifts
Over the eleven years that I have been a Mummy, Mark has been notoriously bad at supervising the gift buying for Mothers Day on our son's behalf. Though he does spectacularly well on birthdays and at Christmas, for a reason I have never been able to fathom, Mothers Day holds no weight with him and gifts are normally no more than a token gesture. In fact last year he bought me a garden gnome stuffed with flowers and in matters of bad taste I usually find that I simply have no words.
This year I do believe my entire family worried that what would be a difficult Mothering Sunday altogether might just be exasperated by another garden gnome and so on Sunday morning my sister Helen took Finley out and together they chose a darling collection of little somethings for me, including the book above, Nourish, a gorgeous collaboration between Sadie Frost, Amber Rose and Holly Davidson and 642 Things to Write About, which will hopefully kick start my ability to write something meaningful all over again. Helen who knows me inside out and summed up in two books exactly what I need to keep on keeping on. Helen who has a heart full of her own pain and still worries so very much about mine
But Mark is above all else a good man. Despite everything he remains my best friend and my whole family appreciates and respects our relationship to such a degree that he was one of the the bearers carrying Mum's coffin into the crematorium. He is scatty and a little bit bonkers but he recognises what matters and on Sunday arrived bearing a flower sprinkled gift bag. Inside there was a bottle of Prosecco, chocolates, socks, yellow tulips and right at the bottom of the box a little jewellery box with a silver locket in which to put a photograph of my Mum into and carry her close to my heart for always.
When he gets it right, he gets it so very, very right. What a gift it is to still have his friendship after all these years. What a gift family, and those who become our family, really are.
A New Normal
The funeral was achingly simple. We stripped away the superflous until there was only all those we loved lining up to lay daffodils and freesia around my Mums coffin, a reading of This Life Mattered and Helen and I stood together reading out our memories.
And so it begins: life without my Mum. A new normal that must exist to honour all that she was and all that we will become.
Nothing At All
I am different now. I tread carefully. Hushed. Afraid to wake her from her big sleep. For she is asleep. I have seen her. I have twisted the wedding ring around her finger and straightened the cross she is wearing around her neck. She was always tired and now I see that sleep has taken her and cannot let her go.
When I was pregnant with Finley I was consumed by this invisible child inside me. I did not know him. Could not imagine who he would be but the journey to Motherhood was an all-encompassing one. Though I moved through my days doing everything that had to be done, those nine months were other-worldly. All animation suspended as I, like all the Mothers before me brought a life in to being. That my Mum's death should have parallels to my son's birth has astonished me. Though my belly is full not with a child, but with the persistent flutter of grief, the sensation is eerily similar. As if I have been consumed by her as I was with Finley. Though I do not need to lose hours lost in wondering who she was, the way I wondered who he would be, I am full of her. Full of the same yearning. For him to arrive and for her to come back.
Her death now though has become a fact. There is no longer any sense of dis-belief. She is gone. I feel the weight of grief upon my shoulders and I am allowing it to slow me down. But I cannot cry. I worry that it is making me look cold: as if I have pulled on sorrow's coat but have chosen to accessorise it with a clown's mask. I am in fact bizarrely jolly in a way that must I think, seem quite inappropriate. While the rest of the family seep tears in front of all those the infrastructure of our society provides to see us through the horror of burying a loved one, I beam at them, smiling as I nod at at all that they say and reassure them that all is quite well and their help is so very much appreciated, and I cannot thank them enough and I laugh loudly and get my head stuck in my jumper in the funeral parlour and tell the sleeping soul that is my mum jokes about the baby and the dog as I stroke her face and wonder out loud at how kind death is to the dead and how it is possible that she should be lying there looking twenty years younger and equally as beautiful as the very last time I saw her.
I am practical and efficient. Calm and comical at turn. Where I once considered myself to be sentimental I am now astonished to note that objects have no meaning to me. I do not weep over the clothes so treasured that still hang in her wardrobe or find pathos in the unfinished jumper in her knitting bag. I did not sob as I sat alone, registering my Mothers death with the same woman who once registered the marriage I did not have. I do not find meaning in everything she touched at home, nor feel precious about all that she once owned. I do not cry over her, but if I was capable, if only someone would turn the tap on, I would cry for her. Because it simply isn't fair that she isn't here. It isn't ok that she has left us to go on without her.
I had not anticipated this kind of quiet rage. In fact there is so very much about my Mum's death I had not expected. I am irritated by the living. Cross with those who still have their Mums. Outraged by the cheek of those Mothers with the nerve to still be alive when mine is gone! And then there is the urge to tell everyone I meet. For I cannot abide the world going on without knowing that she isn't in it any more. That the world is a lesser place without her.
Death then, isn't the way I feared it was. It is darker and more beautiful. Even missing her is not what I imagined it would be. It is not the primitive visceral terror of the child not in your eye-line. But something far more complicated, and wildly exasperated by the energy of the dead still pulsing in your own veins. Where once she was beyond me, now she exists inside of me.
In the words of E.E.Cummings, I carry her heart with me (I carry it in my heart).
Death is nothing at all. It really is nothing at all.
My Mum – A Love Story
There are things no-one tell you about death. They do not tell you how still it makes you inside. They do not tell you how it will feel to hold your beautiful Mums face in your hands, while you try to ignore how unnatural it feels to touch such ice cold flesh. They do not say that the blood will pool under her skin. That she will still be smiling even after death. They do not say that the man who guides you in to the chapel of rest the following day will cry silent tears with you and the policeman sent to see you and your Dad in hospital will be clumsy and stupid as he tries to establish the cause of the bruise on her neck where those stern paramedics pumped adrenaline into her veins as she lay dying, or perhaps already gone, on her own bedroom floor.
For it is true. My Mum has gone. My Mum has gone. My Mum has gone. My Mum has gone.
I want to write it in the sky. I want to scream NO at the top of my voice. I want to tell each stranger I see in the street. To tell them how very unfair it is that we are alive and she is not. But I have had to tell so many people. Delivered nightmarish phone-calls to my own sister and my Mums sister. I have sat in my Mum's conservatory listening to her hairdresser (of all people) shout NO into the phone. Over and over again. I have told her friends and when they became inconsolable, calmly asked to speak to their husbands and instead, explained what happened, to them.
I don't know why I am writing today. I wasn't sure I could. I was scared she might have taken my words with her. But even though as I type, real tears are finally flowing, this is what I needed to do today because I know no other way to pour out my grief. To make sense of something so utterly ridiculous. I know no other way because the only alternative is to phone her and I can't be sure she will take my call in heaven. The only alternative to writing is to call her and tell her my head hurts, that I have slept with Dad in her living room for the past two nights, both of us taking a sofa each. That he has whimpered in his sleep and he is worried about never understanding the washing machine. There is still so much to say you see? Children to be grown without her guiding hand. Thank you's to be whispered over and over again. A garden she didn't get to enjoy because Summer didn't come soon enough.
I am scared to miss her. I do not know whether to be angry. I am so very wide awake. And Finley. My little boy. A boy who could not leave the room without giving his Nana the seven kisses she always demanded of him. When I told him, in the early evening of the day she died that she was gone, he put his hands over his ears for a moment and then told me that he needed to get back to playing with Eleanor and that my darling Kath had made him sausages for his tea and he wanted to eat them before we went to stand in the midst of my entire family, grouped together in her kitchen without our beating heart.
I am scared to be without her. This is the first blog post I have ever written that she will not read. I do not know what words will flow out of me in all my tomorrows without her presence to censor everything that is ridiculous about me. I do not know if the sight of her on her bedroom floor will ever leave me. Her eyes wide open. Whether it was right to tell the man at the hospital not to wash her freshly blown hair because she wouldn't like it if it was frizzy. That we wouldn't recognise her and that for all the days in-between her death and her burial Dad and I will go and stroke her face and tell her stories and that while we are doing that, we need to still recognise her. To still be able to find her under her red velvet blanket.
This then is a love story. Like all the women in her family before, my Mum has died in her early sixties. (Stolen. Kidnapped. Taken). Still so very beautiful. For only the very, very beautiful die young don't they? She was, as you know, both my best friend and my fiercest critic. She was everything I am and so many wonderful things I am not. She was my Fridays. My partner in crime. My closest confidante.My most feared opponent. She was my good morning and my goodnight.
My Mum is gone. My Mum. Italics are not enough enough to make it clear how absolutely ludicrous that sentence feels to me.
Night night Momma. No-one will ever again love me like you did and I will never again love with same fury, certainty and gratitude.

Spring Come Rain Fall
I am rather loathe to show you this because I cannot fathom how you can easily order it for yourself should you so desire, but it is so lovely I really cannot resist regardless…
If ever there was a wonderful gift buyer, my sister Helen is she. Working in Soho, just a heartbeat away from Liberty as she does, and combining easy access to the most utterly scrumptious shops in London, with her own exquisite taste, makes Christmas morning blissful not only because Santa is always so very good to me, but because in among all my other lovely gifts will be a stack of the most darling of wrapped presents from Helen.
This year alongside a cloche jar I have long been coveting, this book (heartily recommended by me!), and a happy little collection of rabbit themed gifts, I received this anonymous looking plain white backed book resplendent with folded pieces of wrapping paper in the loveliest of patterns. It is quite the most useful book ever, with a collection of labels and tags at the back in muted, understated designs…
Though I have found the manufactures on-line store, I am pretty certain Helen didn't pop over to Singapore to acquire this little bit of Spring Come Rain Fall organised heaven for me and as she is too busy to harass with questions today, I find myself rather stumped as to where it came from and thus I do believe this post could be akin to showing off something rather lovely…
I do apologise. Showing off is so very rarely my thing…

Nivea Fined For Saying Skin Cream Makes You Slimmer
The distributor of Nivea in Canada has been fined nearly 400,000 Loonies for marketing the "My Silhouette" skin cream as making you slimmer.

SJ has been battling door-to-door salesmen and flyer stuffers in his neighborhood for years. After getting fed up, the block held a powwow and everyone decided to get "No Soliciting" stickers to put on the doors. Yet the flyers still keep cropping up. Here is a recent picture SJ took of his door, with a flyer for "Shiraz Pizza" stuffed in it, right above the "No Soliciting" sticker. He diagrammed and labeled it to make it easier to understand, and sent it to the pizza parlor along with a complaint letter. [More]

Florida Department Of Citrus Sends List Of Facts About Orange Juice
The Florida Department of Citrus sent over a few paragraphs of information in response to my post, "The Flavor Of Your OJ Is A Chemically-Induced Mirage" from last week. [More]
The Flavor Of Your OJ Is A Chemically-Induced Mirage
There's a dirty secret in your glass of orange juice. Even though it says "not from concentrate," it probably sat in a large vat for up to year with all the oxygen removed from it. This allows it to be preserved and dispensed all year-round. Taking out all the O2 also gets rid of all the flavor. So the juice makers have to add the flavors back in using preformulated recipes full of chemicals called "flavor packs." Mmm, delicious, fresh-squeezed ethyl-butyrate! [More]
Supermarkets Manipulating Multiples To Get You To Buy More

Pier 1 Kicks Off Christmas Creep Season
It may not be a full-fledged instance because it's not in a physical store, but a recent email promo by Pier 1 is at very least a warning shot that Christmas Creep season is upon us. They recently sent around an email featuring a large snowman. It said, "You can now scratch "get an early start on Christmas" off your to-do list. Preview holiday fun before it even gets to our stores." [More]
Buy Groceries From Giant QR Code Wall In Subway Station
As you wait for the subway to arrive, thoughts of errands drift through your head. Pick up medicine from the pharmacist, get package from the post office, and go get the groceries. In South Korea, Tesco has been experimenting with a system that lets you take care of that last one, right while you're on the subway platform. It's a wall-length billboard with photorealistic images of essential supermarket supplies. You take a picture of each item you want, grabbing its QR code, place your order, and Tesco will deliver it to your door. [More]
These Kroger "Build Your Own Sixpack" Signs Are In Conflict
Karl was surprised when he saw this printed-out sign on the beer case at his local Kroger. It informed him that it was "unlawful" for the store to sell singles or six-packs where you get a six-pack box and fill it with a variety of beers of your choosing. He was surprised because just a few away were several shelves of beers underneath a giant sign that loudly advertised "Mix a Six, $8.99, Pick your style!" [More]

At first glance, a merry-go-round that generates electricity appears to be a charming idea. But Empower Playgrounds President, Ben Markham, came up with the idea in 2006 during an 18-month stint volunteering in Ghana. There he was struck by the lack of lighting in rural schools and dwellings, as well as the paucity of playground equipment. A charming idea it remains, but it's a serious one, too. Read More

Hadden frustrated by missed chance
PA Sport
November 15, 2008
Scotland boss Frank Hadden was "gutted" at his side's defeat © Getty Images
Frank Hadden was a picture of frustration after seeing Scotland blow a golden opportunity to beat world champions South Africa as they lost their place at rugby's top table.
Head coach Hadden watched his side roar into a 10-0 half-time lead at Murrayfield today, but the Springboks scored 14 unanswered points after the break before holding on to secure victory.
The defeat meant Scotland lost their status as second seeds going into the draw for the World Cup, all but guaranteeing a nightmare pool at the 2011 tournament in New Zealand.
"It's difficult to explain how gutted we are at that, simply because of the amount of work that's gone in," said Hadden, whose side were also beaten 32-6 by a second-string New Zealand team last Saturday.
"I'm not just talking about last week, I'm talking behind the scenes, I'm talking over the years, the battle we've had since professionalism began to cling on to our place at the top table with our resources.
"It's a massive battle that we've faced over a last few years and I felt that, slowly but surely, we had been winning that battle."
Hadden, who once again pointed out the lack of preparation time he was afforded going into a series of Tests, accepted his side had wasted a great chance to save their own skins.
He said, "We knew that we were going to be more competitive because we have another week under our belts in terms of players getting familiar with each other again.
"But, ultimately, the game was there for the taking."
It looked as if Scotland would do just that when Nathan Hines scored their first home try for 14 months less than two minutes before half-time.
But the hosts were punished again and again in the third quarter of the game, eventually conceding a try to substitute Jaque Fourie. Ruan Pienaar also kicked three penalties for the tourists, while Phil Godman got Scotland's other points with the boot.
Hadden was particularly disappointed to be penalised so frequently after the break, questioning referee Dave Pearson's interpretation of recent law changes - though he refused to blame the official for the defeat.
He said, "At the moment we're just working out where Dave's going with his game."
Hadden was equally upset at the number of injuries his side suffered today. He revealed Chris Paterson - whose goalkicking was badly missed as Scotland wasted three straightforward penalties - has a suspected fractured cheekbone.
Also hurt were Thom Evans (dead leg), Rory Lamont (dead leg, neck and shoulder), Euan Murray (cheek), Scott Gray (medial ligaments), Allister Hogg and Godman (stitches), Jason White (neck), John Barclay (shoulder), Hugo Southwell (shin) and Dan Parks (back).
Hadden praised those who played through the pain, saying, "You certainly couldn't fault their desire, their commitment, or their effort."
Despite Scotland's three penalty misses and watching his side cling on at the end, South Africa head coach Peter de Villiers insisted his men were worthy winners.
He said, "Definitely, the scoreboard says it. We showed strong character to come back. It wasn't pretty but it was just routine."
It was a second unconvincing win for the stuttering world champions on their European tour following last week's victory in Wales. De Villiers believes his side are not far from being at their best.
"We are a pretty good all-round team," he said. "We weren't allowed to play with the ball in hand and if we can get that right, I think you'll see a well-balanced side: attack, pretty good and defence, outstanding."
De Villiers removed star winger Bryan Habana early in the second half, with replacement Fourie making an immediate tryscoring impact. De Villiers said of the out-of-sorts Habana, "He took a bump early in the second half. All great players do have some times when their form goes.
"We can't leave our individual stars to survive on their own."
South Africa lost hooker Bismarck du Plessis to a hamstring strain early in the game and he will be assessed over the next 48 hours.

KINGSTON — Neither the Wyoming Valley West nor Crestwood softball teams had been on a field until Wednesday afternoon. So they played a little longer than expected until Valley West's Audi Welles decided it was time to go home.
The Valley West freshman hit a hard liner off an outfielder's glove in the bottom of the eighth, scoring Melinda Holena with the game's only run as the Spartans posted a 1-0 victory in the Wyoming Valley Conference opener for both teams.
The game looked headed to a ninth inning when Holena hit a weak grounder with two outs. A throwing error, though, allowed her to reach first. Welles followed with the game-winning hit that was ruled a double.
"With Melinda's wheels, she is one of the fastest kids I've ever seen," Valley West coach Desiree Hooper said. "She was going the whole time."
The victory wasn't just a nice way to start the season, but perhaps a turn in the Spartans' luck from last year. They lost three consecutive games by a run early in the 2013 campaign.
"For the last two years, I've had so many one-run games against me," Hooper said. "It's an amazing feeling to get the one-run win."
For Crestwood, one of its preseason fears came true. The Comets not only let the winning run on base via error, they had a runner thrown out at the plate in the top of the eighth who might have been safe with a slide.
"I was worried about mistakes, and that's what happened," Crestwood coach Bob Bertoni said.
Until the eighth, Valley West had just two runners reach second base. Holena stole second after hitting a first-inning infield single that ricocheted off Crestwood pitcher Colleen Borum. Megan Kane singled to left in the fifth and then stole second. Both ended up stranded.
Crestwood didn't get a runner to second until Bree Fetterman's double in the eighth.
Obviously, there was a pitching duel going on during the first pleasant day in quite some time.
Valley West starter Chloe Ruckle picked up where she left off last year. The sophomore wasn't overpowering, striking out three, but had just two balls hit out of the infield through five innings. She allowed five hits.
"That kid is a workhorse day in and day out," Hooper said of Ruckle, who pitched all but six innings in WVC play last year. "She is 150 percent focused and I don't think anything can faze that kid. She's worked hard for us every single game the past two years when other people wouldn't. She has a hell of a heart."
Borum started in place of Alyssa Davies, the reigning WVC strikeout leader. Davies has been recuperating from a back injury. Borum, a junior, struck out eight, walked one and gave up five hits.
"Colleen stepped up when Alyssa got hurt," Bertoni said. "She's been working really hard. Alyssa could have gone today if we needed her. But I figured Colleen has been working hard, so I'm going to give her a shot."
Hanover Area 14, GAR 0 5 innings
Mary Kate Penczkewski pitched all five innings and struck out 10 batters as the Hawkeyes earned the shutout victory in five innings.
Haylee Bobos recorded a grand slam while Michelle McNair went 2-for-2 batting with a double and triple.

I'm enjoying The Supervillain Handbook by "King Oblivion PhD" at the minute. The physical book isn't out for a week or so, but you can get the ebook or just keep your eyes out. Quite funny, very well written.
Is anyone on goodreads? I find it pretty hand for recommendations.

After many recommendations, I finally bit the bullet and started reading Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." About a quarter of the way into it now, and thus far it is surprisingly entertaining - I was worried I might have to battle through an utterly dull brick of a book, and I don't particularly like fiction to begin with. But so far so good: dem capitalists are saving the world, amidst howls of protests from ungrateful commies. :-)

Learn how easy it is to sync an existing GitHub or Google Code repo to a SourceForge project! See Demo
I decided to bump the 0.1.20 version up to 0.2.00, mostly
to indicate the new approach to reading and writing
using metaclass functionality (thanks again Ian!).
I also removed the older TK approach and made PythonCard-style
version the TK main version.
There are also several minor bug fixes.
As with any .00 release, beware unexpected bugs related to the changeover
to major new functionality (in this case, the reading/writing code).
It is available in the usual place:
== Version 0.2.00
Fixed bug where if make second XTurtleCanvas, and then remove it, previous
canvas won't be used again until dragged.
Added way of notifying widgets their window gained focus using that to
reset xturtle global canvas and pen.
Added a local pen in the XTurtleCanvas.
Added a way to specify a property should not be readable or not be
writable (set related function to None).
Fixed problem with two mouse downs and mouse ups when set related method
for morph.
Added way to interrupt complex xturtle drawing once started (or any
command) using BREAK or CTRL-BREAK
Improved consistent use of world changed or other changed mechanisms (now
using updateDrawing).
Looked at issue of when drawing should happen; Resolved issue of canvas
drawing too much.
Modified xturtle for issue when deleting XTurtleCanvas.
Supressed unsupported color warning when set foreground and not there.
Removed other older TK world and related files, and renamed PythonCard PC
world as TK (since it is in TK).
Internal support for writing either using metaclass or using inline code.
Now use metaclass way of using "class" to define prototypes previously
suggested on edusig.
More support using metaclass approach for how properties get created and
Added way to specify a field written out should not create a property when
read back in.
Fixed SplitterPanel splitter position creeping downwards when save and
Fixed issue with text attribute not found for label property by moving
text into Morph.
Fixed subtle bug where getting source for methods in old module (not
current reloaded one)
if old window is open; needed to check linecache before loading.

The situation in the Middle East is quickly escalating.
Israel continues to be targeted by terrorists, with nearly 300 rockets fired into Israel from Gaza in the past few days. The latest casualties: 3 Israeli citizens killed when one of the rockets slammed into their apartment building. A young child was also critically wounded.
Now, an even more troubling development. Late today, two rockets struck near Tel Aviv, deep inside Israel. Until now, the rocket fire had been confined to the border area of Israel and Gaza. In fact, I was on a conference call with one of our attorneys in Tel Aviv when a warning siren went off. This latest assault reflects a dangerous escalation of the attacks against Israel. This latest development raises significant concerns that the terrorists have now acquired longer-range missiles from Iran, putting many more Israelis at risk.
A day ago, Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense, a coordinated campaign to target and take out terrorists who are attacking Israel. The IDF has hit nearly 200 targets in Gaza in the past 24 hours, including a car carrying a top Hamas official, who had been behind the Hamas attacks this week.
Israel is not only under attack by terrorists who are launching rockets and mortars, our closest ally is now under attack for its decision to take action to defend itself and protect innocent Israeli civilians.
This from Egypt's President Morsi: Israel's action to defend itself, he said, is "unacceptable." Morsi, who is backing the Palestinians, is now asking the United Nations for a special meeting to consider what he calls Israeli "aggression" against Gaza. The Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group which is at the helm of Egypt's new government, condemned Israel and said Egypt "will not allow the Palestinians to be subjected to Israeli aggression as in the past." Hamas, which has vowed to destroy Israel, is now threatening retaliation against Israel after the top Hamas official was eliminated. Hamas calls the Israeli action a "real declaration of war."
All of this is unfolding as the Palestinian Authority continues to push for special statehood recognition at the United Nations. Such a move is totally unacceptable. It would result in creating a nation hostile to Israel, with two terrorist groups, Hamas and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) at the helm.
This is why our support of Israel is so critical. And, this is why we have mobilized our legal teams - in Jerusalem, in New York, and in Washington, DC. This is the time to stand with Israel. This is the time to reject any suggestion that the Palestinians be granted special statehood recognition at the U.N. Nearly 70,000 Americans already have signed on to our petition to defend Israel and reject the creation of a terrorist-led state.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he hoped Hamas "got the message" and if they did not, he said Israel is "prepared to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people." Defense Minister Ehud Barak hinted the military campaign against Gaza-based terrorists could be a lengthy battle. "We're in the middle of a struggle that's not easy and probably won't be short," Barak said during a visit to the site of an Iron Dome battery in Beersheba.
Events are unfolding very quickly in the Middle East and it's difficult to predict where this will lead. What we do know is this: Israel is under attack. Israel must defend itself. Israel must protect its citizens. And, our support for Israel must be unwavering. Especially now.
Take a stand. Add your name to our petition now.
President Obama is angry with Israeli voters for re-electing Benjamin Netanyahu, and he's willing to risk the lives and security of Israeli citizens to show it. The State Department is reportedly considering reversing the decades-long policy of protecting Israel's security at the United Nations and...
Today Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful message to Congress. It was a much needed warning about the dangers of a nuclear Iran. Prime Minister Netanyahu understands first-hand the dangers posed by a nuclear Iran – the very lives of the Jewish people and the future of the...
We've long warned about the dangers of embracing the Palestinian "unity government" formed by the Palestine Authority and the terrorist group Hamas. Now a federal court has held that the Palestinian Authority itself is directly responsible for terrorist attacks carried out on Israeli civilians. The...
The United Nations has rejected a resolution that could have crippled Israel, imposing on it indefensible borders and forcing hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens from their homes. The resolution was yet another attempt by the terrorist-led Palestinian Authority to circumvent U.N. resolutions...

Nip's solar/quake thread
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
I have been wanting to ask you a question for quite some time and hope this is an ok thread to do so.
Do I recall a post once in which you stated you have MS?
Just wondering as I have MS and have had some very unusual experiences lately that seem to coincide with solar activity.
Today is a really bad day - I feel like my head weighs a ton and it is hard to even stay erect.
However, there have been days with activity related to the sun in which I have felt energized...better than I have felt in a long time.
I am not on a disease modifying drug at this time. I had to stop the monthly infusions (my choice of drug at the time) because it sent my immune system into non-existance and I kept getting sick everything from pneumonia to Mono. I was doing really good despite this fact and then right before the VA earthquake hit and then these big solar flares, I started experiencing intense dizziness and nausea. However, I can relate these symptoms to EQ and solar activity most of the time. It never completely wanes and is always present in some way. My ability to focus is way off and vision is out of wack too.
Even if I am wrong about recalling a post from you stating you have MS, I was wondering if you could give me a rundown on your thoughts about the current EQ and solar activity and how it affects a person physically. I am a firm believer in the fact that what is transpiring is working on our dna and feel it will cause all of us to have some bad days regardless if one has disease issues or not.
Do you have any take on this dna re-arrangement for people with disease? I have an intense feeling that I should just hang on and things will begin to improve at some point in time soon. However, the human side of me is getting concerned about my physical symptoms. I really feel a battle going on between my physical and spiritual thoughts.
I met a lady who started taking OPC-3 and she swears by it for MS she said she was able to get out of bed and had been symtom free for 10 years. I thought I would let you know if you have not heard of it before:) :)
