Thanks! Bookmark saved! I try to shop local when I can, but sometimes can’t find what I need.
A dedicated site like that is better than amazon or ebay, for sure!

You’re welcome! I plan on ordering some things from them for sure - they have some rare goods for my practice too. Might leave a review here too if I remember, lol.
Cheers.

Fantastic Friday Friends,
How was everyone’s weekend? We had much wind yesterday and dropped about 15 degrees, but I think the warmer weather is almost here to stay. Have a great weekend all, Lady Gene

Greetings Lady Gene,
This week was interesting. As my first week of freedom, I hoped it would’ve gone better…
In addition to the co-worker toxicity at my last job, I was also subject to regular chemical exposure as a result of absolutely terrible “safety” measures. So I’ve been detoxing on all levels this week and it’s rather shocking how much that’s been affecting me. Even so, I’ve been doing everything I can to be grateful and enjoy my newfound freedom.
I’m hoping I’ll start to feel better next week.
How has yours been?

Fabulous Friday Friends,
Red, so sleeping in? 
Don’t think I told you, but my best girlfriend growing up, lived across the street from Redd Foxx, 
we used to visit and have lunch with him occasionally.
Wren,
It’s amazing what toxins do to your body, yes? 
You don’t realize it until you get it out of your system how much it was affecting you. Nothing quite as exciting as Saturday at the Chinese place. But went back yesterday for Chinese with a friend and the TIP worked as it should.
*Many people do not know that TIPS, is To Insure Prompt Service. That is why, at the high-end restaurants, you see the TIP being given as they are seated. To Insure Prompt Service. I gave her a $20, (food and drink was only about $60). But, since I gave it to her first….she was very attentive. Didn’t even blink when my friend and I ordered our 3rd Sake and some Tsingtao beer.
Guess that made-up for Saturday’s disaster.
Well, thanks for the “call”—tag, you’re it.
Lady Gene

Yes! I always try to put a positive spin on the stuff I deal with, but yeah it’s been bad. I especially look forward to when the dreams stop. 
I admit I’ve never thought about tipping that way, but that makes sense. We don’t really go to high-end restaurants much here - but there are some standard ones we’ve had issues with sometimes. I wonder how they would take it if I did that! lol
Cheers.

I’m sorry, a mis-understanding. This definitely was NOT a high-end place. It’s the local/corner, mom and pop Chinese food “joint” (yeah, dating myself 
). The one I had the issue inside of on Saturday last week. So, yeah, she did not even expect it, but it did as intended….she “promptly served” us, so it did “insure” our prompt service, TIPS, To Insure Prompt Service. And I do not go out often, I’m living on SSDI of only $1500 a month. Thankfully the house is paid. Lady Gene
Speaking of toxins, should I make a thread about fluoride in the drinking water?
Anyone know about that? I credit the opening of my 3rd eye to having my own well for 10 years.
Now I’m on city water again, I’ve started buying alkali water. Helps my over-acidic stomach too.
Ah! Gotcha. An interesting angle nonetheless - I’ll have to give it a try one day.
That would be interesting to see… entirely your call my friend! I’m well acquainted with that, but I know it’s a touchy subject for some people. I’ve yet to see a thread go truly bad here though, so you’re probably fine if you want to!
Cheers.

Yes, a genuine Conspiracy Theory, a deep rabbit hole that has some deeply disturbing turns.
Fortunately the ‘fix’ is easy, don’t drink city water. Or, at least limit the use of it where possible.
I use city water for washing & cooking and such, but for actual drinking, it’s bottled water.

Everyone ready for daylight savings tonight? Now some of my clocks will be RIGHT!
Me either…city water? WTF….that is why I had kidney stones at 14 here in Vegas.
In Cali it’s a major problem that we had to be very careful of. They use chlorine here instead - which isn’t really much better, and there’s other things in our water that are VERY bad due to being in an oil-rich area, so I still filter as much as I can. Don’t have a filter for laundry, but do have one for the shower. Want to try a bathtub filter too… 
Daylight Savings Time snuck up on me!
Yikes! Yeah that would do that… you guys have such hard water! Cali water is the same.
Cheers you two ~
They use both here. Chlorine for keeping parasites and bacteria down, fluoride for (supposedly)
fighting tooth decay. Which it does, fluoride toothpaste is a thing. But drinking it is another matter.
Now, I always used britta and pur water filter pitchers with the well water, just in case some
nasty bacteria or something actually made it down to the water table. But those don’t do much.
Wren sounds like you could use a whole-house filter. I hate water softeners they make the
water feel slimy in the shower, eew.
Alas, I live in apartment! Hence the filter-city I’ve established here.
Cheers.

those who know/have been following along….this Winter, of the seed growing, and now Spring, literally springing forth….I have another “awakening”….first, awakening was from my coma, started waking up in 2022, and now is Spring. I have grown and know where I want to go (like a sprout following the sun)….my husband?…well, I am on my “perfect” journey, and if he wants to ride, welcome, and if not, more power to you….Not being a door mat!!!

So, here we go….rant, soapbox…whatever…
I walked into the kitchen to heat up an eggroll….AGAIN, not serviceable because whomever used the kitchen last did NOT clean up after HIMSELF!!! (sorry, live with only men so it is HIMSELF). Do they pay me $20 an hour to follow behind them with a rag and dustpan? NOT…so, I am NOT their maid. If they say, “but all you have to do is….” if it was so easy, why did they NOT do the exact same thing that they said was sooooo easy to do?….again, not a Stepford Wife and NOT a F**** Doormat!!! Lady Gene Sorry all, a tough weekend

Regardless of gender, people should have the decency to clean up after themselves.
Being considerate of others and basic manners is not too much to ask for or expect.
