Animals are our friends. I've though how much fun it would be to have a goat to eat the blackberry brambles around my house, but then, of course, I'd have to get a dog to keep the goat company, and a sheep for the grass, and it just spirals out of control from there.

Maybe a yeti to protect the chickens from the raccoons.

Hi guys.. just stopped in a for a few minutes. I'm at loose ends, I don't know what to do today. Going over to get more stuff, or starting to clear the stored stuff out of this bedroom seems repugnant... every step I take like that makes it all more real and permanent. I can't stand that.

I'm starting to realize that a lot of life was based on lies, and I know that means there's no going back... but I can't help still wanting it. Woke up this morning with tears already on my face, thinking over and over again, I want to go home, I want my husband back.

Sarah,

I remember from my first divorce that the worst part was not losing my husband, but losing all the dreams and the plans and everything I thought my life was going to be. Somehow, realizing this made it a little easier. I knew that since dreams and plans were mine to start with, that I would make new ones.

You haven't lost yourself, although I suspect it feels that way at times. You are still you.

I want one of those! My mom is getting one, the name is cute. Do you feel like you are living with the Jetsons now?

Do the Cha Cha with the roomba.

Jess- Just in case I don't "talk" to you tonight I just wanted to say good luck tomorrow. I hope everything goes beyond well. I hope you have a pleasant anesthetic experience. When I woke up from my gallbladderectomy, the nurse who was in recovery with me asked me how I felt. I scaremed "Drunk. I'm REALLY drunk. And I'm hungry!!!!!!!!!!!" she burst out laughing :lol: I actually LOVED getting the gb out. Felt GREAT after for many many weeks. I hope the same happens for you.

How will we know how it goes? <_<

That's so true :( you haven't lost yourself- you've lost the life you thought you had, the person who was the man that you loved, but not YOU. You still have your dreams, your beautiful boys and the future. Now it can be what YOU and they want, without anyone else's imposition (except ours). :P

I'm having trouble with my email, sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not. But I do need something, something I didn't think I would. Has anyone kept all the emails and updates I've sent? It would help me keep dates straight about what was said when.

I am going to talk to a lawyer after all. I didn't want to, but the things he did and said today force me too. It makes me sick with sadness.

I went over to talk to him about not changing the kids rooms so soon. To give you the short version, since it's here instead of email... He said that I don't have a say in it, and he needs to make room to get all of my stuff out of his bedroom.

He's trying to make it out that I chose to leave. That I could have stayed if i wanted (by what means, I don't know.) He said I can have the house if I want it, but if I'm not putting money into it and helping him with the bills, then it's his and I have no say about what he does there.

He told me to leave. I said that it was my house, too, and how could he tell me to leave? He said that it's not my house because I'm not paying for anything.

There's more that was said... so unbearably hurtful.... I don't want to post it here, and I couldn't get my email working right.

If anyone has the updates I've sent, please try to send them to me and I'll let you know if they came through.

Sarah,

I'm not usually on this thread, so you probably don't know me. But you absolutely need a lawyer for this. Do NOT give in to anything without professional advice. I have an SIL who had no idea anything was going wrong and then found out her husband had been having an affair for two years. For those two years he had also been hiding money and hiding how much he had been making (he made a few hundred thousand a year) in an attempt to cut down on what he would have to pay in support. Her lawyer found out.

Good luck

richard

Uncle Ray in da house:

Subject: An old man, a boy and a Donkey

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people Who remarked it was a shame the old man

Was walking and the boy was riding.

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, So they changed positions.

Then, later, they passed some people who remarked, 'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.

'So they then decided they'd both walk!

Soon they passed some more people who thought They were stupid to walk when they had a

Decent donkey to ride.

So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people Who shamed them by saying how awful to Put such a load on a poor donkey.

The boy and man figured they were probably right, So they decide to carry the donkey.

As they crossed the bridge, They lost their grip on the animal And he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story: If you try to please everyone, You might as well.. Kiss your arse goodbye! :lol::P

Mornin all

I got a Roomba! :D Those vacuum dealies that wander around your house and vacuum?

It's wandering around now, banging into chair legs and stuff and distressing the cats exceedingly. It's pretty noisy, but normally it'll run while I'm not home, so I can deal with that.

Ah, but Jess.....have you heard of the Woomba?

Open Original Shared Link

Emily, has Canada gotten a medal in furling yet? Or is that a winter sport. I can never remember those off-Broadway sports. :huh:

Hell, I dunno......hose furling......like a true Canuck, I'd be waaaaaaaaay outta any medal contention....... <_<

Canadian Cottages haunted by native Australians? :huh::o

We have Aboriginals here, too......though I believe now they prefer to be called First Nations People. Didn't have a run-in with the resident First Nation Elder ghost today..... just lay on the dock, jumped in the lake now and then, went out in the motorboat with my buddy and sang at the top of me lungs.......got up to dance and fell in.........but of course - - it's a canoe, not a cruise ship...........gawd. :huh:<_<

Jess!! The best of luck to you tomorrow.....will be thinking of you! Have you sang you farewell mantra to the big U? <_<:lol:

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I've heard RO water is bad, too. Distilled water has all the minerals distilled out of it, so it will pull minerals out of your bones, too. I only use distilled water to fill up my clothes iron so it won't get mineral deposits inside and quit working. I drink mineral or spring water.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      Thank you for your reply.  I read the same thing about distilled water.  Oddly, drinking that has not caused any sort of reaction in my gut.  Nothing I can hear and feel anyway.  🤣  With that said, I have also switched over to spring water for drinking.  My traditional go to grocery store charges the exact same thing ($1.39) for a gallon of pre-bottled spring, distilled, or RO water.  The manual gallon refills of RO water have an attractive price of $0.49 per gallon, provided you use your own container.  Knowing it causes major bubble gut (and likely other issues) for me, I am avoiding all RO water moving forward.  In fact, I will gladly drink tap before RO water. Here is what Google says when searching "European study regarding reverse osmosis water". --Begin quote: European studies indicate that while reverse osmosis (RO) is highly effective at removing contaminants, it strips essential minerals (calcium, magnesium) and creates low-mineral, slightly acidic water.  Research suggests this may have long-term health implications, such as mineral deficiencies, while also negatively affecting the sensory quality (taste) of water. Key Findings from European Research & Reviews: Health Concerns: Epidemiological studies in Europe have associated low-mineral water consumption with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and reduced intake of essential nutrients. Mineral Depletion: RO systems can remove up to 95%+ of solutes, including minerals that are vital for health. Sensory and Quality Impact: Studies show that reducing the mineral content (TDS) of water makes it taste bitter or flat, with optimal, "fresh" taste found in water with a TDS between 190 and 350 mg/L, suggesting post-RO remineralization is necessary for better quality. Regulatory & Safety Context: While not banned, European regulations under the Drinking Water Directive emphasize the importance of mineral content, and countries like Germany often favor alternative treatment technologies that retain minerals. Industrial Application: In Europe, RO is widely accepted for industrial applications (e.g., food, beverage, pharma) due to its high purity output, but it poses challenges like membrane biofouling. Environmental Impact: RO is recognized to use more energy and waste more water (up to 15% more) compared to conventional treatment methods, raising environmental concerns in some municipalities.  Recommendations: Due to the loss of minerals, many experts recommend remineralizing RO water before drinking to improve taste and nutritional value.  --End Quote

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      I am hesitant to post this as I have seen many people here recommending RO water.  With that said, I want to share my experience and how RO water now impacts me.  Three or four years ago a local store installed a RO water refill station.  I had been buying gallons of distilled and spring water prior to that.  I switched over to using the RO water refill station saving money by brining in my own clean empty gallon jugs.  Every 6-months I would replace the jugs by buying new gallons of distilled water.  This RO water is the only water I would drink while at home.  Two huge glasses every morning before work and two more after work.  I would also use the RO water to make coffee and hot coco. This past December, prior to my celiac diagnosis, my gut was making more noise than anything I had ever experienced.  Seriously, it was crazy, almost like fire works going off in my stomach.  I happened to pick up some distilled water for my 6-month jug rotation.  Literally, as soon as I started drinking the distilled water my stomach settled a great deal.  I could honestly feel the difference after the first glass of water.  I thought that maybe the RO water from the store's refill station was contaminated with some sort of cleaning agent.  I swore to myself I would never drink from that RO refill station again.  Instead I went back to buying distilled along with gallon jugs of spring water.  No issues with either of those as far as an upset stomach is concerned.  Cost, well that's a different story all together. After being diagnosed marsh 3c, I went shopping at Aldi's for the first time in my life.  I noticed they also sell water by the gallon.  Over the course of the last few weeks, I have purchased a total of 6-gallons of their water.  (Thankfully they were out on two of my visits.)  After having my stomach starting to make noises similar to mid-December again, it dawned on me, maybe its the Aldi water?  Initially I had contributed my bubble gut to some sort of gluten exposure or cross contamination.  Even though everything I have put into my stomach is naturally gluten-free or has been labeled gluten-free / certified gluten-free.  I had assumed that the Aldi water was spring water.  Come to find out, that was a bad assumption.  Looking close at the label it says purified by RO or distillation (or something like that). Again, I switched to different water.  Just like last December, the non-RO water instantly calmed my stomach and even felt better going down the hatch.  This was earlier today by the way.  Prior to creating this post, I did a few searches via Uncle Google.  I bumped into a thread on Reddit (where I am not a member) that has multiple people complaining of GI issues related to RO water.  So my initial thoughts on a cleaning agent in the refill station RO water were likely not correct.  Unfortunately, it seems the RO water itself causing me problems.  I am not sure if we are allowed to post links to other sites and hopefully I will not get into trouble for doing so.  I did try printing the Reddit thread to a PDF file.  Unfortunately, the file is 2MB in size, which is well over the 500KB file attachment limit here on this amazing forum.  Again, hopefully this is ok.  🤞  Here is the Reddit thread. This may not be a popular opinion here, but personally, I will not willingly drink another glass of RO water for the remainder of my life.  Who knows, maybe drinking RO water for the past several years is part of what activated my celiac?  No proof, but just a thought.  Come to find out RO water is well known to leech minerals from your body.  With people like us often lacking minerals to begin with, RO water does not seem like a wise choice.  As the Reddit thread mentions, there are RO water filtration systems that will inject minerals back into the water.  However, those systems are likely not being used at the grocery store refill stations nor by the bottling companies producing RO water for sale at your local store. Please do not shoot the messenger as I am just sharing my personal experience and letting others know that most RO water will leech minerals from your body. God bless and stay well, Known1
