Geriatric MM Warriors!

I thought about her, too. I don't know - you could always PM her. They will get over us fairly quickly on the other site. I'm with you about the peace.

I'm getting messages and such looking for me. I answered I felt unsafe at this point in an open forum. Which is the truth. I don't like the idea that I could be close with someone and trusting and then one day get a nasty email. I'm going to go over there occasionally to help new people but I don't feel safe there. I'm sorry people feel abandoned, I really am. Perhaps there should be some honesty going on about why we left. Somehow they know we set up our own forum also.

Pony: I found where they are talking about us and it isn't flattering. It's on Georgia Lee's new daily post. She proclaimed for all to see that we 'got ticked off at her and started our own forum'. She's a real diplomat, huh? Sorry, Pam, no way am I getting back into that mess. Kitchwitch chimed in with what could they be ticked off at you about, etc. I'm not going to set myself up for high blood pressure over there. A person who had been posting for one whole day even had something to say about us.

I didn't realize it was that bad. I've only got the parts of the conversations that have been emailed to me. I'm not comfortable with that kind of conflict. This new way of eating and my body changing has made me feel vulnerable enough.

Oh gosh Lisa, don't be sorry! I just wanted to let you all know that they were. I understand completey why you're all here and am absolutely thrilled that you've included me. I wasn't trying to talk you all into going over to chat, I just wanted you to take a 'look see'. I had to smirk at GL, at least she acknowleged that it was her doing, kinda!

I think it will blow over. I was tempted to answer some of those people privately, but don't want to keep stirring it up either. They shouldn't be talking about us and airing theories. It's rude and unfair. I'd rather not know any more about it. This is me with my fingers in my ears. I'd put my fingers in my eyes, but that might hurt!

No, she didn't really accept any responsibility. She didn't tell people that she singled us out with unsolicited pressure. I don't like her ways and now I know it was no accident. OK, Lisa, shake it off.

Well, I'm facing some things to work out with getting into the nursing program. This one has no waiting list because it's a private school. But what financial aid pays will only cover 3/4 time and the nursing is full time. The only way I can do it is to apply to the school as a medical assistant, then apply for funds that the govt. has set aside to help pay for education in really needed fields. Then change my major to nursing and hopefully get in by January. So... I've really got to trust god on this. It will all come into place if it's meant to.

Nell, don't take all that upon yourself, you're good, don't do a thing that you don't feel competely comfortable with. Is there anyway you can block unwanted incoming email? My guess is that it's an assmption on GL's part. I assumed you all had grouped together outside LCF the very day you all stopped posting there and I was spot on. I just didn't know why.

I would agree that getting your foot in the door is the most important thing and change programs once they come to love you! Education of any kind is never wasted. You will do wonderfully, Nell! How exciting that there is a pathway, even if it has a turn or two in it.

Nell, you are what my son called when he was little, "poplear".

We just got done eating. I made Italian sausage and a side Greek salad.

I just found out 40 lb bags of dirt are 1.24 at Walmart. I'm finally going to make that garden! I have weird spinach that I won't go into for Pony sake. Ok... you talked me into it. I have lambs quarter seed, which is a common weed, but is actually undomesticated spinach and I also have purple Orach, another weed. Both of them are normal vegetables in Europe though. The greens will grow really quickly because they are.... Weeds!

I also have tomato and pepper seeds but they aren't nearly as much fun to talk about!

Can you garden all year there? Dr. Oz did a thing on the 'weeds' eaten in the Mediterranean diet and they have almost no cancer.

Hi Pam. I find the tea at my Safeway here.
My SIL has it pretty bad. She worked for years on an assembly line. She would get home and find it hard to even stand up when she got out of the car. Thought it was just age. Went to the Dr. and found out her Rheumatoid arthritis was so bad she should have been hospitalized. She kinda manages the paid now with pills but I was hoping to find a natural supplement that might help.

Why? I don't get it? I'm a weird person that has never achieved much in life. I mean, I had a hard start with the way I grew up, but I have no idea why I'm "poplear."

Pam, I had grouped people outside the blog for the purpose of sharing medical type stuff and the things that were confusing newcomers. Then this happened so it's sort of became a retreating area for people that were hurt and confused. The reason I wasn't sharing is because I was working at full speed getting things set up. Then we moved over here.

That's exactly the research I've been following! I love that you follow a lot of the same things as me. It was my idea to incorporate these foods into our diet, and now since we're broke I'm getting to push to do it now.

It should be fine to garden year round. If there are freezes I'll have to cover the plants at night. I'm used to that from gardening in Maine though. The only time that it's difficult to garden here is in the summer. I have heard you can grow sweet potatoes and melons during that time though.

When I was broke in college, I went to the Famers Market and lived off of a lot of cheap veggies. They go a long way and they're great for you, too! I, too, love that we are into a lot of the same things.

Also, you could sprout seeds and eat lots of different kinds of sprouts - live food and cheap, too! You have to rinse them every day.

Pam, don't take on feeling guilty either. The same advice you gave me, back at you!

I tried and they got moldy! I think I'll be safer with microgreens. At least the sun will help to keep them from getting yucky.

SharronLee PM'd me and asked if she could join us. She said she's been feeling like the "Left Behind' books, poor baby! I am waiting for her to email me so I can give her the lifeline over here. It'll be good to see her again.
