So, you ask... How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
The dogs respond: 1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4. Rottweiler: Make me.
5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation.
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark.
11. Chihuahua: Yo quiero Taco Bulb. Or 'We don't need no stinking light bulb.'
12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
14. Poodle: I'll just blow softly in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
...now, when you ask, How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?
The cat responds: Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is... how long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?
I can only speak from personal experience... but you've just heard some solid advice. Don't pester. If I'm going through stresses, the last thing I want is to pile it up on the person I care about. I tend to need to pull back & decompress. If a man were to press me on it, he'd find himself riding solo.
Think of it like this, if she needs to heal(emotional stress stuff), picking at her doesn't allow her to feel like you're her safe harbor. Give her time. If a week or two passes & still no word, you can send her a simple reminder that if she needs you, she knows how to find you. Leave it be after that.
Without knowing the reasons, the answers... speculation can only ruin things. Be patient & supportive. This may be the very thing that brings you two closer... for good.
I wonder if people ever get tired of pretending to be more than the next person... or dishing out advice they're unqualified to give. Good thing no one's life depends on it... this time.
...and they wonder why things go so tragically wrong. Where's a little Darwinism when you need it?
Partially. I really try not to worry with spelling errors, even with spell check being embedded into almost every windows platform. *grin... I try to take into consideration where the person might be coming from.
If I'm dealing with an American(in their 20's, for example), I try to see how well they express themselves aside from grammatical issues. A few spelling errors aren't as unappealing as blatant asininity, or word butchering. If it takes me too many times of rereading to decipher a messege... I lose interest quickly. If they say something to the effect of: "I'm in *insert college name here*" I have a degree in *enter name of anything that deals with the public or big words* or I've been to X-many countries... I kind of expect them to know how to convey a basic messege.
I do make exception for individuals with a foreign mother tongue. I make great exception, in fact. I've seen greater efforts made to communicate in English from Europeans(for example) than many Americans. Credit goes to anyone who learns a foreign language, in my book!
Rather than if I do or do not have a bible, I have had various books of belief from all around the world. Some in their native language, some that have been translated... some that are almost all pictures. It's an interesting experience to view & compare them.
I will keep an eye open for any leads & give you a jingle if I run across anything interesting, ok? I worked with a lupus group(convention stuff) and was amazed at the information I learned. If I can help, I will try.
Welcome to the group. We used to have a nice lobby to hang out in, but people got a little impatient about the whole "online dating" thing, so they just gave us a big padded room to play in. Pull up a pillow & enjoy the gang.
Foods now-a-days has less nutrient value than it did when we were kids. Part of the reason is processing of foods for consumers convenience. Once food is processed, it loses a large part of it's value. Vitamins and herbs are no different.
Whole food nutrients are the best but sometimes hard to afford. Whole food vitamins are a great supplement option.
My list... off the top of my head:
Super Omega 3-6-9..........3600mg Ginko Smart......................2 daily vit C..................................1500 mg Osteo Bi Flex triple............4 per day Eve whole food vitamin.....4 per day MSM..................................1000 mg L-lysine.............................1000 mg Milk Thistle complex..........2 per day Pancreatin........................1000mg Resvertrol.........................2 per day ...and I know I'm forgetting something...
Mind you I also supplement my diet with Creatine, protein mixes, & ground golden flax... to name a few.
I avoid processed sugars, all sodas, alcohol, synthetic drugs, and eat as much unaltered or organic food as possible.
If you can read your body's signals, it's a very effective tool. For example, when I crave too many sweet things & fruit will not satiate it, I know my chromium levels are off, as well as some of my other minerals. I lose my taste for coffee & tea when my body needs fats. Not to mention, if you feel thirsty, you're already in the first stage of dehydration.
Just a suggestion... do some updating on your herbals... That herb combo can only be used for short term.... it effectiveness diminishes after two weeks & you're left with a poor fiber supplement only. Cycle it two weeks on, two weeks off. (It also affects prescriptions drugs(as dose St John's), just in case you're on any)
