LOL

I think that might be the single greatest post on fireflyfans.net ever.



Never said you were evil Wishy. Just that you've sadly become a hard core bitch and borderline loon.

I don't recall if you remember way back in the day when I implored you to stay out of the RWED. (Yes. I did use the word implore).

I'd like to think that it wasn't actually the RWED that turned you into the spiteful and angry person that you've become today, but maybe it is possible seeing as how you just blamed everyone on this board for it.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I've broken that diet 3 times since it has started. I've decided that if I'm out with people or somebody is cooking for me I'm not going to put any restrictions on them, since this is a lifestyle choice and it's not because I'm allergic to it (well... I've never been diagnosed with anything, but if I am it's not a life or death thing).

I can't speak for everyone, but making the change in my diet was not really that hard. It was certainly easier than giving up booze or pot, and infinitely easier than giving up coffee or cigarettes.

The pains are still there, but my job is very labor intensive and I'm not kid anymore. I've also done a lot of damage to my body over the years.

Have you gotten that canola oil?? It's very VERY necessary in order for you body to make anti-inflammatory hormones.

Quote:

I do hope that by continuing down the path I'm on that I can get rid of the pains without resorting to any drugs, even over the counter ones. The one thing positive I can say about being gluten free though is that I haven't had this much energy since I was in my early 20's. If my feet didn't hurt so much after 8 hours of work I could easily do another 4 hours of work before I went home.
It it your heels or your whole foot? Because if just your heels, you have plantar fasciitis, and SIX, I had it... tried everything (anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, stretching, foot soaks, RX'ed heel cups, staying off my feet) and I found a pair of $10 inserts that really worked.

Quote:

I'm actually hoping I can get to that point because I'm sure there wouldn't be any argument from management if I were to put in 12 hour days and then I could get in a 36 hour work week and still have four days off. :)

One day at a time baby. I cannot stress enough how great a gluten free diet is. If you can will yourself to start it and stick with it for a month or two, you will be amazed at how much more energy you will have.

Gluten-free here too, SIX. I was dxed with a number of food allergies (altho allergic to a crap-ton of OTHER foods not allergic to wheat, per test) and also specifically tested for gluten sensitivity (not gluten sensitive either, per test) but when I took wheat out of my diet the arthritic aches and pains almost went completely away. I sleep a zillion times better now that my shoulders and hips don't hurt. I can't explain it, but it works for me.

Good words to live by.




Funny you mention Canola oil again. I finally did remember to pick it up this week and today will be my third time cooking with it. How long would you suggest before I start seeing any possible improvements? Do I have to use it everyday?


I thought being gluten free in and of itself would be what I needed to get rid of the inflammation, but I obviously need more than that at this point. I still don't want to use any drugs, even OTC stuff like Aleve like everyone says I should take.

The pains are in my whole foot, at least the underside of it as well as the heels. Pretty much every fleshy part that makes contact with the ground when you walk except the toes. My first night back usually has very little pain by the end of the shift. After 3 nights it's starting to get pretty bad about 1 1/2 hours before the end of the shift. I've got a 6 day stretch coming up soon that I'm not looking forward to. It's great getting a super long span of time off after doing a 6 day shift, but by the 5th and 6th day it's murder walking on them.

I bought a pretty pricey set of Scholl's inserts that are made for work, but they don't really seem to help all that much. I think I'm going to have to break down and spend big buc

CNN plays montage of Trump attacking media after he praised reporters

tacking-media-after-he-praised-reporters


And you want civility? LOL!

Now, imagine your average rabid cult following Donald supporter hearing things like that over and over from your President...

Also keep in mind, Donald is attacking freedom of the press for not one thing more than to cover up his mistakes and misdoings. Period. He has the thinnest skin of anyone I've ever known, President or otherwise, and will attack anyone that suggests he isn't perfect.

Just like most dictators... and weak, spoiled two year olds.

From you, here is this forum? YES, I DO.

I'm not Trump. I'm not a Trump follower. I'm not a white racist. I'm not a "Russian troll"(!). I'm not a communist. I'm not ANYthing of those categories that you deem so frightful that they deserve to be blasted with both barrels. More importantly, I'm not DOING ANYTHING that deserves to be defended against. I'm merely posting MY OPINION, which seems to be too much "free speech" and "free thought" for some around here.

You see people, groups and activities and you become so agitated that you turn around and blast people here?? You've conflated a discussion board with real life, and you seem to think that trolling people who are NOT YOUR ENEMIES is some sort of effective political action?

Quote:

The average rabid cult that you refer to is, as you said, imaginary. I know quite a few Trump voters, even here in deep blue southern CA, and they are overwhelmingly well-educated, nonwhite immigrants, and at least half of them are women. Maybe if I lived someplace else I'd get a different view of the people that you imagine that you're talking about, but so far your statements and my experience don't square up.

So instead of responding to IMAGINARY ENEMIES, why don't you respond to the real people who are actually posting here? READ what they post, and stop imputing motives to them that they don't have.

The press is critical of Trump, but one thing it is NOT is "free", it is owned by giant transnationals and is more or less hostage to their interests. Also, it certainly isn't unbiased. The so-called "free press" gave Obama and Hillary giant free passes on all of their corrupt, imperialistic, Constitution-shredding behaviors. It's too bad that we can't count on the socalled "free press" to do it's job of giving us the news about important events and trends.

I'm all up for discussion; I want to know what you think and why, but the truly rabid, hate-filled people that I've experienced lately are all here - people who claim to be liberals who are deeply concerned about "freedom".

I think the person who discovered that they were short of one of those essential fatty acids took canola oil every day ... maybe a tablespoon or so each time ... and that it took about a week to have an effect. Considering it's a nutritional approach, I think one week is pretty darn fast for a response. Most people wind up waiting a month or more for a new food or supplement to have an effect. I sure hope it works for you!

But even if it doesn't help, please keep taking it. When nutritionists call something "essential", they're not kidding.

Nah, you're a troll who posts images of mutilated children. Worse than that, you post them over and over and then come up with some phony outrage to justify being a troll. And you post those images without any regard for the victim or their family and without any knowledge or real concern for how the person actually died. You really can't be more uncivil or a bigger pos troll than that.
Hey, you never did answer how you'd feel if it was your daughter in those images - how come?

Apparently GSTRING votes against civility, too: He just can't stop himself from attacking, even in a thread about civility.

You have to remember that GEEBERS was deeply, throughly confused about why his thread - posted and titled for the sole purpose of attacking two people - could possibly be sent to troll country.

'Ya figure that out yet, GEEBERS?




SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

Oh, I still wonder what GSTRING's role was in that south-of-the-border movie that apparently involved torture. He CLAIMED to have had a part in it. I wonder how much "civility" was involved.
