    A Shiatsu massager

    I have been getting leg and foot cramps since I was a child. I've tried magnesium, calcium, zinc, potassium....you name it, I've tried it. It is not a vitamin or mineral deficiency. No doctors can figure it out, but evidently, I am not alone...there are a lot of other people who get leg cramps...

    A Shiatsu massager

    I don't use massage devices, but would sell my eye teeth to pay for personal shiatsu treatments. I like shiatsu much more than regular relaxation or therapeutic massage. Personal shiatsu treatments include not only "leaning" pressure on "tsubos" (sp?), but also very therapeutic passive...

    AA and Christianity

    Hammster, is there something wrong with being pragmatic? As to the question, everyone has a higher power, imo, and often it is their idols (it's amazing how idolizing money can change people's behaviour, for example). If someone in AA finds a higher power that can help them stay clean, then...

    Passive Aggressive comments

    Yes, I know my responses are passive-aggressive, like I said. I'm normally a pretty tactful person, so I'm sure I could say something much more tactfully, but like I said, passive-aggressiveness is a form of contempt - this is a character flaw I know I need to work on. Then again, I have a few...

    Passive Aggressive comments

    I often make passive-aggressive comments as a form of contempt. If someone is parked in a non-parking spot, I will say (just loudly enough that they probably can hear me), "I guess some people feel like they are entitled to just park where they like rather than in a spot like the rest of us." I...

    8 Ways to Deal With Difficult People

    Difficult people are usually toxic people. While I believe for the most part, we need to have healthy friends, we should not abandon toxic ones altogether - depending on context, of course. I abandoned my relationship with my sister only because the toxicity was affecting my relationship with my...

    8 Ways to Deal With Difficult People

    Not so sure about #8. I don't have a higher self...I have a higher power, and his name is Jesus. I spent time today with someone who is a difficult person, and yes, I prayed before I went and asked God to let me be a light to her, and to be a conduit of his love. I also did a number of other...

    What's on Your Mind? - Married Couples

    Well, our week is up. My husby is on his way home! I will be heading out in about 6 hours to get him - and his flight arrives in 8 hours - the drive down there is an hour and a half. Man, I can't wait to see him! On a sadder note and what is on my mind is that I never got the painting done. But...

    If you could change one thing about yourself...

    My metabolism...I'd speed it up so I could eat anything and not gain an ounce. (I don't think that's envious, just sensibly healthy but then again, I might be in denial, and I kinda like living in oblivion :))

    Marriage

    What I am going to say is always controversial, but I'm going to say it anyway. Gay people can be Christians too, although their struggles are just different than a heterosexual person's. Would you rather see a Christian gay person who is committed to their spouse, or all the pastors, religious...

    What's on Your Mind? - Married Couples

    AW, it's hard for me too... Last time he went away it was for two weeks, but when I finally saw him at the airport, I started shaking and crying (I NEVER cry!) and could not let him go. This time is only for a week, so that's good. And hopefully we never have to be apart again. Lamb, you've...

    What's on Your Mind? - Married Couples

    My IDay is leaving tomorrow for a week. I hate when he leaves. Hopefully this will be the last time we have to be apart.

    Asking forgiveness

    I think a lot of people have a hard time asking for forgiveness because doing so requires genuine humility, and showing humility leaves one open and vulnerable. We are so intent on guarding our hearts that it becomes too hard to express the sorrow and shame that accompany humility. Part of this...

    Bucket List?

    I want to write 3 pieces and have them be successful: - a novel about human rights violations in Canadian prison - I'm just starting this one - a coaching manual - this one is in the works, about half done - a coaching journal - this one is written and I just need to figure out marketing Some...

    Soda or Pop?

    POP! It's much more fun to say than soda. Plus, I'm a true Canadian, and Canadians say pop. Then again, we also have jackalopes and can't eat our overpopulation of geese. So we're just messed up. lol

    Heartbroken

    What a wonderful day! It was so good to see my friend. We visited for two full hours over coffee, and talked about things we usually don't talk about. What a good day! It was totally a God thing today, for sure. Sometimes he just puts things together in ways that show us he's at work in our...

    Heartbroken

    This is so weird but I love how God works! Yesterday after I wrote about my heartbreak, I got a text explaining why she could not meet up. Now today after I wrote about flexibility, she sent me a text saying she could meet up later this evening. So I'm off to pack an overnight bag and head out...

    Heartbroken

    Inka, I'm sooo sorry about your friends. It's just so painful, and yes, there must be a grief associated with it. Your friends are unhealthy, so it makes sense that they would choose to be friends with your unhealthy ex. It is also a sign that you have come a long way out of unhealthiness...

    Heartbroken

    It could be, although I let her know that I was still going to try to get up there for a day. I just didn't know which one. So yes, it was a last minute plan. At least she knew I was trying everything to get up there and see her while I can. Finances were also a consideration, but I managed to...

    Heartbroken

    I kinda thought we were lifelong friends, after 47 years. Is an hour after two years really that unreasonable for a friend to meet with a friend?
