thanks peanuts. i love to cook... for the last week or so ive eaten nothing but organic fruits and veggies, fresh water fish, organic home made juices, free range chicken and herbal, organic teas. that is prolly the best way to get over being sick is just taking care of what you put in your body.
Thank you HCM. We do a lot of handwashing. I have wipes in both vehicles. We all take multivitamins. I wipe the boys computers a lot with antibacterial wipes. I was at the grocery store the other day and I wiped the cart handle. I think I'll get some waterless handsoap for Billy to keep in his book bag. Bill doesn't get sick like we do. He has a couple beers or a whiskey at night. When he is sick he doesn't much complain about it. Not like me. Hugs right back at you HCM!
I think you hit it on the head. Our diets are alright but not like yours. Man, you're going to kick ass in boxing. Good luck tonight with that. You'll be the healthiest one there.
thanks laura. well, that reminds me i better get going and cook dinner and get some stuff done here before i gotta leave. and yeah, you truly are what you eat.
I made a heafty salad for dinner to go with our whole grain spaghetti. I'm going to change our eating habits. Interval was right on when she said you are what you eat. Our diets have a huge room for improvement. My husband's diet is actually much better than ours. He just lost 30 pounds recently too.
I've been sick for about a month on and off. I have about 1 or 2 days of wellness and then I'm coughing and blowing again.
Hi MissF. Sorry to hear you've been sick too. How are you doing with school? Is this your final year?
Yeah sometimes I even feel great. But it's like I've accepted tiredness as my natural state of being. The causes are pretty evident: work, school, insomnia, lack of exercise, a diet that could be better, and too much partying. I'm slowly taking steps to remedy that shit.
I should keep a log of all the ways I'm contributing to my health and my children's. Like what we eat and see if that makes a difference. I could make comparisons to see if the extra effort really helped keep us less sick. If I don't get 8 hours sleep it throws me off. I can't believe how people can go out all the time and barely sleep but still function. They amaze me! lol
How bad should I let the pain get in my throat before I go to the emergency room? Today sucked bad and the pain is shooting from my throat to my ear. Pain is about a 8 when I swallow. I'm inches from downing a bottle of whiskey.
mike... you might have some kind of infection. id go to a regular doctor but if you're worried about insurance and all that, go to the ER... personally i hate going to the ER but id say if your throat hurts like that for over a week you should go some where.
It always amazes me when I see people who have left their throats close and they tear up every time they have to swallow. I have basically a zero tolerance to pain. I hope you get some attention today HHF and that you'll be feeling better asap.
