My company is in the downsize mode being bought out--cleared out 40 managers last week. I hear tell they will be offering an incentive package to clear some of us out in the next few weeks...don't know what that will look like....
While in Nice I ate at an Indian restaurant that was out of this world! I had chicken curry, a salad with pine nuts, lettuce, tomato, cilantro and a very good dressing and nan bread, was so yummy! The other night I had duck in a wine sauce and mashed potatoes at a cute little restaurant in Biot. I haven't had duck in years, loved it! I had to have a wonderful creme brulee, the only dessert, other than an chocolate eclair...not too many sweets on this trip..
Oh RDM, thank you so much for all the great pics! I love the elephant, so sweet! I remember seeing a baby elephant trapped and these guys helped to free it and how happy it was to get back to it's mom, and she as well...thanks!
Yes do so agree with you. I've been in southern France for 28 days and it's been wonderful, don't want to leave. Want to find a little village house near the ocean, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that will come with me the day I move here. I would love to work in peoples gardens, groom horses, something I can do, but I will make a way here when I can move. Life is so much simpler, and the added factor is how kind and sweet the people have been to me, and the wonderful fruit and veggies-OMG!!
I agree, money is just an added factor if that's the case, if not I like the beach anyway, would be perfectly happy going there every day, and I wouldn't live anywhere that was far away from it like I do right now.
I will say that this was my story, and I hope people will check out similarities. Symptoms DO vary for people, and other people get other things, but I still will say I believe the overgrowth of candid manifests itself in different ways. I've had numerous friends with different illnesses, diseases try the things I'm doing with good results. One of my friends has also taken up yoga, we all different things.
In the United States, doctors want to give you a pill for every symptom, they are only treating the symptom, and much to manys dismay, then they get something else, or have something else they need a pill for. We have so many children on medications galore, why are there so many similarities, and yet we still keep taking pills, what the doctor ordered. How many different opnions does it take, and meds? At least try, study, read is all more than anything I'm saying out of my heart of hearts, in all honesty. My cousin has fibro, she's an alcoholic and is very sick. She tries no more than what the doctor ordered. With my jaw pain, I've studied, researched and there is no cure for it other than surgery, and that is not a 100% guarantee, so I wait like I waited to see how good it was to use a microwave, and I waited almost 10 years before they came out, and now rarely use it because now supposedly they aren't so great for you, so that's all...
I also agree with different points of interest, challenge yourself to do things in small baby steps, when taking nutrients take in small doses in case you're allergic. You can always try different ones, your face may break out a bit or skin, toxins coming out of your body, don't fear....just go very slow on introducing new things like maybe 2 weeks or 2 months, just go slow and proceed with hopes for the best...
To continue, sugar is a craving also from the candida--the major pain your daughter is experiencing is alot of this I believe--I spend a fair amount each month on vitamins and aloe,herbs,etc. I look at it this way, if you had a major surgery, how much would it cost you mentally, physically, monetarily???!!
I did go help at Hurricane Katrina and got lyme disease while on chainsaw crew--but I didn't suffer for nearly as long, and yet still another hurdle I now have jaw pain--not tmj but trigeminal neuralgia--bubble at base of my brain resting on trigeminal nerve. I have to take f@#$%&* meds, but outside of that, get plenty of rest, exercise-so important, sleep outside of pure rest and relaxation. Monosaturates like olive oil-no polysaturates at ALL!! These help to keep cell wall supple so they don't become brittle allowing bacteria to break and enter.
I tell this story because I think all are linked to poor diet, overgrowth of candida, weakened immune system, messed up metabolism, lack of excerise, rest, sleep, good healthy diet--no or once in a while sugar, processed foods...I still smoke, drink red wine, but eat fresh veggies, small amount of protein, protein shakes, soy beverages, once in a while cheese--stay away from white sugar, rice, flour--can cause MAJOR pain in joints, don't eat bread--yeast content, small amounts of protein because of antibiotics in meats now, take fish oil, mutli vitamin b, flaxseed, vitamin c--I had skin cancer on my forehead and had to have it removed, started to get it at my hairline and took about 3000 mil. a day of c--you're body will eliminate what it doesn't need.
I tell this story because of the pain, physcially, mentally, and emotionally I've suffered. My opinion, my story--check out the similar ities on line of fibro, candida--any type of autoimmune illness--how could so many of us suffer from the same things????!! G--oing from peaches and cream complexion to boils to scarring---so horrible. A man once told one of my co-workers "yeah, she used to have a peaches and cream complexion" I wanted to wear a paper bag over my head from humiliation.
So many times I've wanted to tell my story, trully I don't wany any sympathy, but please learn, understand, compare symptoms, foods--get rest, eat healthy, sleep well, exercise...
The thing of it is, on line, skype, etc, we always put our best foot forward, but who we really are isn't revealed. That's the scary part....and if you're in an enviroment you've never been in and only have one person to count on and they shut you out, hard to feel confident and secure. So that's a big chance, you have to take into concideration your surroundings with that person, how it will become real. We have our best lines on line... always remember that, it's hard for people to be sincere...they go with the flow, and that may be down the drain, and once in a blue moon, a connection that blossoms, but there must be support, and understanding, and not judgement, so how do you control that or leave it to chance?
Had no interested parties, maybe 3-4, sad we could have a blast...out of country now, so don't know if anyone will be interested when I get back..would still love to do it...hopefully more people will respond, let them know if you want and see if we can get more to be a part of....
RE: If Today Was the last Day
Sounds like a plan, being by the beach, swimming in the sea for the last time, having a nice little spread of a couple of snacksand some good wine
