Hello, all, I've not been here for sometime. Life happens.
As life was happening, I've found myself back in school. Next (not this) fall I'm off to PA (physician's Assistant) school here in VA.
I've just finished a paper on MRSA; what I'd really like is an actual case of MRSA being cured holistically; not anecdotally ("oh, I heard of a guy who's ex cure themselves in Podunk".

Hello,
Thanks for the responses, they're supportive and helpful.
I saw this moring that there were a fair number of "views" to this thread, but only three responses, including this one (mine!).
Hopefully those who viewed have their answers currently dehydrating, and in a few hours, they'll be ready.
Thanks,

Hello, all,
Last year's resolution was to improve my spirituality, and I did (funny, when I prayed for inner peace and contenment, I confronted drama, agitation and circumstances beyond my control). This year I'm working on selfconfidence...
You see, I've historically ended up defining myself and happiness by what I did for a living, how I looked walking out of the gym (am I cut, am I fat

5. Re: nuts!!!
Hello, all,
Ok. Nuts!
I eat nuts when I've worked hard that day. I find that they relieve muscle soreness; being that my job is taxing (I'm a plumber), I eat nuts about every other day.
I don't feel "bloated".
I've read about others feeing "bloated", and I've often wondered if they've not confused being "bloated" with being full.
Thanks,

Oh, let's see...
I've been a med student, network engineer, private real estate investor, mortgage broker, a private body guard, and now I'm a plumber.
Out of all the above jobs, plumbing really holds my attention; if I had to provide an answer as to why it holds my attention, I would have to write that I'm allowed to be me (no pretenses, masks worn, or dependence upon the economy).

Hello,
If I market myself as raw, and I live raw, then I'm fine; if I'm living hypocritically, then I'm not.
This reminds me of a story. Comfortable?
I was working out at a name-brand gym one summer, and everything was fine; one morning, I arrive five minutes before the doors open, and I noticed the doors were open, so, naturally, I walked in, ready for my workout.
Well, I just h

Money. Money?
My experience that to buy the ingredients to make a raw apple pie, for example, will cost about $15.00. The time that I take to make it is about one hour. Now, let's say a local Co-Op wants to buy it. Let's say my time is worth $10.00/hr (that's a cheap hourly rate).
Ok. How much do I have invested in it? $25.00. That's the price for a raw apple pie. Now, all I have to do,

I had struggled with sleep as well.

Durian, durian... durian! Seems like that's all I'd read about. So, I thought, why not? I'll buy one.
My durian cost $8.30. It was fine durian as far as I was concerned. Frozen, but fine.
After I paid the lady at the Asian market, I smiled and confidently walked out of the store with my frozen durian under my arm. I got in my my truck and returned home.
After I got home, I proudly set

Dear brokenbrooke,
Yes, I do feel that I benefited more from the intense heat.
I held poses longer, focused more on my breath, my breathing slowed more, stretched further - it was simply a completely better day of practice.
Not that I practice yoga for accomplishment, but I did feel that I accomplished something significant. I had the same feeling when I climbed Dragon's Tooth here in

Hello, all,
I have today and tomorrow off for various reasons, one of which has nothing to do with the projected temp of 99 degrees today.
My question is this, have any of you stumbled upon practicing yoga in extreme heat? While I was in the park last sunday, I did! All I have to write about that experience is this: It was amazing. Simply amazing.
I hope all are well today.

Dear pakd4fun,
Why wait? What often happens is that the children from the fostering family begin to step in to help take care of the other children. I've seen it a number of times; the fostering children then stop thinking of themselves and begin to become quite responsible.
The trend seems to be save the bears, save the ants, save a slug, save the starving in Africa, East Asia, etc... I

Y'all foster animals while I foster children.
In our area, there are 450 children in the foster care system but only 194 licensed homes...
My former thought waw, "well, ya gotta take care of your own first." Now, it's, "where can I put another child in my home?"

Hello, all, I've been on "the road" way too long. Glad to be back home.
Breakfast is sometimes bananas, pineapple, oranges, young cocnuts & their milk.
Lunch is usually a green salad, broccoli, scallions, avacados, tahini dressing or the like.
Dinner is similar to dinner, but it depends.
Now, I'll have various other little meals in between the above. For example, ap

A spiritual experience of the miraculous or educational type will help one to not drink again, provided they work with others with the same issue: drinking.

When I lived in Mexico, my girlfriend would take me out to eat, order something for me, and then I'd have to try it (I knew what she was ordering. I have a degree in Spanish Lit.). One evening she ordered tacos de cabeza for me. The translation is head tacos... Ok, ready? I ate sauteed cow brains, salsa, salt, lime, grilled onions and a Coke w/ice... Dddddddddddddd-vine.
