RE: Healthy Eating Shock

Many years ago, I gave up dairy and gluten to restore and then maintain a healthy thyroid. Like many here,I also changed the food I ate. From toast with peanut butter, breakfast changed to two tbsps flax seed soaked overnight in the refrigerator and, in the morning, added two tbsps Chia seeds with warm water (let them soak a few minutes so they become gel like). Then I add fruit, coconut yogurt and whisk it with a blender and end up with a delicious and satisying smoothie in a bowl. The flax seeds consumed this way act like brushes through the intestines. Chia seeds have numerous health benefits. To healthy eating!

RE: What a lesson learned

Hi Lindsy, I thought you'd been given a post in your new government and didn't have time for CS anymore! Nice to see you back.

Those who never see the inside of a CS jail aren't without opinions, they just know how to convey them without ending up in jail!

RE: Can You Understand This

Brings back fond memries der byes!

RE: Ambivalence

Well, Gypsy, you are not unique in feeling as you do. I enjoy being in my office every day, but so relish the walk home knowing that my home is my nest and the only distractions are my pets who really aren't distractions anyway. I love being with family and good friends but also hug my alone time to me like a "bestest" friend. If we have expectations of someone, we should make them realistic for that person. Maybe it's the fast pace of today's world, it seems we lump everyone into the same category. Thanks to a very good friend, I have learned to gently let people know what they can and should not expect from me. With clients, it's more of a challenge because the expectations are somewhat different.

RE: Curious to know why people don't have a photo on t

So, I guess you weren't here in the dead of winter??

RE: Curious to know why people don't have a photo on t

Pedal! Look....Scotty loves us! whe-e-e-e!! ha ha

RE: Curious to know why people don't have a photo on t

I'm Canadian...we apologize a lot. Sorry! Oops! ha ha ha

RE: Curious to know why people don't have a photo on t

sorry, didn't mean to preach.

RE: Curious to know why people don't have a photo on t

Thank you, Molly.

Scotty, not all photos posted are genuine.

RE: Curious to know why people don't have a photo on t

Hi Scotty, it's the internet and I'm just not comfortable posting a photo. Molly has a photo up, but would you recognize her if you met her? Anyway, welcome to CS. I hope you have fun!

RE: Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Sol. 60 is the new 45.

RE: angles

I believe the lesson was on acute and right angles that day.

RE: angles

I was always told that the angle of the dangle is equal to the tilt of the kilt.

RE: Smoking

I quit smoking everything when I was in my early 20's and don't feel any guilt or remorse about being a non-smoker. But what makes you think all the women who state they're non-smokers are being dishonest?

RE: Smart Phones

Hi Cat I still have my very reliable Nokia flip phone and love it: it's sturdy, tinyish and limits 'connectivity' to phone calls and text messages. Dreading the day when I'll have to upgrade.

RE: A Private Zoo?

Hey Cat, nice to see you back! It sounds more like a nightmare than a zoo!

RE: Ferdinand Marcos: The world's biggest “thieving po

Thank you for posting this, Socrates. The recent elections in the Philippines reminded me of them.

RE: Mexicanos

There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. All the proof anyone could need is right here!

huitz, you have no need to apologize. Your blog is a statement of what's happening in the US and, while not all Americans believe in the bigotry of Trump, sadly many do.

RE: Mexicanos

Of course, Lindsey, we non-americans know all that. If you weren't so insular, you'd understand that what happens in your country affects the rest of the world. If your Trump makes your country even more protectionist than it already is, there will be another country sitting on the sidelines just waiting to take over the position of world #1. And you think you have problems now? Ha! If your Trump is elected to office, within four years of his election or less, you'll be bashing him as you've bashed Obama. You're so blinded by the gloss, you can't see the pile he's standing in.

RE: Mexicanos

Makes no common sense, Sands.

RE: Mexicanos

The fanatical Trump supporters choose not to read between the lines of his fanatical rants. Huitz, you interpreted his comments correctly. Canada shares a border with the US, too. HE says he likes Canada. We shall see....

RE: Nice guys

It wasn't running that came to mind.

RE: Nice guys

I've a special fondness for nice guys....they always finish last.

RE: Rumours...

Oh my!! Rumours and gossip...such titillating stuff. Beware the people who form assumptions about others and pass it on as fact!

RE: Narcissistic Supply

CC, it may very well be treatable. However, the narcissist must recognize they have a problem. With the narcissistic personality, it's the rest of the world who is always wrong. If you can't or won't see you're sick, you won't get help.

RE: Americans Moving To Canada

Don't forget to get your Free Trump steak and Trump wine before you leave the US.

RE: Narcissistic Supply

There is no cure for narcissism because the narcissist doesn't believe the problem is ever with them. Narcissists view even the gentlest criticism as an all out attack. They get their jollies attacking others because it fees their perception of their own perfection. However, they are also well aware which people to keep on the good side of so they do tread carefully with some people (bosses, "friends" they need). Sometimes we forget who we're dealing with and try to have a normal discussion with the narcissist. It doesn't take long for the narcissists true colours to show. In reality, it can be a crushing experience to live with a narcissist especially if it's a parent. Online, it's water off a duck's back.

RE: OK Men - Here is ur chance to prove me wrong !

Well, Snooks, that's better than a grain of salt!

RE: OK Men - Here is ur chance to prove me wrong !

Thank you, Snooks. Just because I don't talk about my personal life and experiences, you shouldn't assume that you've endured more and/or worse. They are my experiences though and that is how they shall remain. Thankfully, they have not made me bitter or angry.

RE: Writing a blog

Hello nikos, welcome! Not everyone is a native English speaker. Some overuse emoticons but then we can't always get what we want. I'm serious all day at work and sometimes serious on here but that gets very boring very fast. I prefer the lighthearted blogs. There are more serious people than sane people here. We're like a bag of All Sorts.
