Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Del Honey, we have all been there in one shape or another. My Dad & I had a different one, it was my Mum who got out the belt or whatever (she broke a big metal ladle over my head one time), my Dad just ignored you after you started to talk. Before that he was great but after - well, the only time you heard your name said by him it was to give you s^%$ about something. He had his own problems. This caused me to enter into "love " relationships & then, expecting the same rejection I got from him, I'd push them, do things I knew they'd hate until finally they did & I could say "I knew it." this led to an abusive one, black eyes & bruises that I thought I deserved. It took a few years for me to realize that no one deserves that & get out but here I am, stronger than ever & with a pretty good relationship with both my parents. Of course I live with a cat not a man & never had any children (I didn't want to inflict the kind of parent I thought I'd be on any small psyche) but at least I like me now & I'm totally off any & all drugs finally. Like I said, we've all been there & now we're back, hopefully all stronger & smarter than we were back then. I know you are my strong caring friend. Gods we're good! I think I'm in love with all of us, I know I love you & me & the Small Red One - yes YOU Toots. Hugs to us all, We deserve them, SuZie & Sir SpYke the Great (who's crying kitty cat tears & sending Lots of kitty cat kisses for everyone) _._,___ Next time I'm coming back as a cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 del your honesty and unselfishiness are very uplifting,and i think you are a incredible person whom im very glad that i got to meet.i dont ride me horses and bikes seem to not get along.i always wind up in the hospital.lol, del i hope some day we can meet,and im sure someday we will. my writing skills lack,so i hope my feelings come thru on what im trying to say,but thanks so much its amazeing to have so many great people under 1 room and im my life ive got to meet them here.because of hep c .again it proves a blessing,Del Compton <go_deliman@...> wrote: Hi Tim.. Thank you for those kinds words and feelings. I am just getting caught up( I hope) with mail. I know EXACTLY what you mean about your buddy...How can you be in a hospital have test after test done, with Xrays and MRI's and all the rest of the three letter test's.... and not know? Star was just in getting checked out, and she had even been complaining about abdominal pains, as long ago as six months, asking our adivise, and she asked her doctor. How in the heck does that happen?I realize that it may be compared to a auto mechanic, that didn't know the car was out of oil;, because he was fixing the tire, but hell, even Midas puts your car on a 29 point check list to make sure all that kinda' crap is OK.. My Dad and I had personality conflict issues... meaning he liked to hit me and belittle me, as a child, and I didn't like it. So I just tried not to be noticed, or be gone... I figured if the dog wasn't laying around in the hallway, he wouldn't get stepped on, and then bitched at. haha. When he (father) became ill, there was a feeling in my 12 yr. old soul, that shouldn't have been there, it was ugly. for many years. It lasted into my 30's. When he died I said good, thats what he deserves! I was a pissed off young man, with hate in my heart, and very little if any feeling of worth. I could not trust anyone. My parents taught me well in that respect.... the two times I tried to share my heart, didn't work out...because I had too much overflowing baggage to get rid of, but I didn't know that then, It just hardened me to reality of love all the more. I'm still f * & ^ed up, in that regard.So.. yeah.. I liked drugs and alcohol. Damn sure did!!! Give me a buzzzz... I forgave him in my heart years after he died... because I realized he was sick..mentally and physically, and I no longer held him personally responsible. He had demons in his brain, that didn't get to his heart, I don't think, because I like to think he knew that unacceptable behaviour, yet powerless to control his hate and anger. Please , do not pity me. It has made a stronger person, and I hope a more understanding and compassionate person, except towards child beating. When he died, the night before , after being in the hospital, in and out.. for the last 12 years of his life, or at home..ringing a bell when he needed something, and my mother a nurse to him. My mother could hardly take it anymore, and I feel she was contemplating pulling the plug. She had had enough. I held her more responsible than my Dad, as I feel she should have done more to protect us from the beatings. She now says we must have grown up in different houses, because she says she doesn't remember any of what I say happened..and I should be happy I was disciplined. I just try to make her happy, by not upsetting her. WOWQ!! this is real; personal stuff, but it's who I am and what goes on in homes. All my neighbors knew what was going on to, and my friends, would watch sometimes, through the basement window, while trying to run from him. I was embarrassed, in my underwear, and especially kept to myself at school. But I did have a lot of people that seemed to like me... I was just so mentally screwed up that I didn't know how to deal with friends. Tim, a surgeon came in the last night of his comatose life, and said, We have discovered a tumor in his brain, the size of a mans fist. What the F$%^*K??? How can that happen?? They said they could make him normal again! What the hell was normal??? That doctor had no idea what he walking into when he made that stupid statement...Well... I have told this to ya'll, and I'm not ashamed, and I don't feel like I'm "ratting" anybody out. It's me..it's how I was raised, I haven't robbed any Stop and Goes and shot customers because I didn't get that red bike for Christmas...and be sure, for each story like mine..there are 100 others that are really sick, and it's hard for me to feel compassion towards those that beat the crap out a child. Well....... I feel better!!! Any one for a nice ride in the country, and w'ell get lemonaide, and ice cream... and feel real good again !! hahahaha.... I'm not sure why I said all this... but I think it's an attempt to be open and honest with y'all... and let somebody know who I am... Not too many people do. I hope you don't think less of me, for crying out loud, in public...but I can't hide anymore. Del Hillbilly Tim <knoxweb1 > wrote: HOW CAN YOU GET CANCER WHILE ON TREATMENT?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Dear Kathleen, I think when we say our children ARE autistic, it's like a life sentence, like saying they're male or female. When we say our child (children) HAVE autism, it's like saying he or she has a cold. It is healable, and is not who they are, but an imposition, just as a cold is.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hi,Kathleen, I find your question interesting. I usually say my son has autism. 'Cause to me he's a normal kid that just happens to have autism.

I started with the Synergy from GT Dave but when for the Raw Kombucha and loved it.

I started brewing my own, not expecting it to taste as good as GT Dave's so far not a contest mine are so much better and cost so much less even when I factor the cost of the brewing containers and other accessories!!

Believe it or not, I sometimes let new friends try this IMO yummy KT and they seem to have a taste-bud aberration ;-) and pull the most disgusted faces. It's a strange thing that some people (me included) took to Kombucha like ducks to water, but other people just can't stand the taste. I have the theory going that folks that eat lots of artificially flavoured stuff, especially drinks, find it harder to tolerate the truly natural taste of Kombucha. If they overcome their initial distaste and make themselves get used to the wonder-drink, they find that it's the artificial stuff they had before that becomes YUK to them. Wonder whether anyone else had that experience? Just rejoice that you and all your family enjoy your KT so much. You must have been feeding them good food and drink, it seems!

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I liked the raw GT Dave Kombucha right off, too. I drank 8 oz right off and then again the next day. The guy at the healthfood store says he drinks a bottle every morning when I realized that would cost over $100 I decided to read more about making it. It's good to hear that you actually think yours tastes better! I have been wondering what kind of tea GT used, etc. Will you tell me where you got your starter and the kind of tea and sugar you use? I got my Sun Tea jar today and a glass measuring cup. Monday I plan to hit the healthfood store and get whatever tea and sugar I need. I don't know where to get a mushroom though, or if I should just order a whole kit. I, also, order Gunther 's book. jan > > > > Virginia > > Do not feel confused. I liked it right aways as well...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi Jan, If you are in the United States I love to send you one of my very happy thick white scobies. I learned so much from this loop that I am happily certain that my scobies are just what they are supposed to be. I'll even send you two. I'll charge you shipping and my expenses but nothing else. And it has been the practice on this loop to collect the money (small as it might be) before I ship scobies. Let me Know.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hello ann, I have just joined this group today. My sister and I brewed KT some years ago, I have really missed it.... I didn't realize how much I missed it untill a friend accused me of getting her on a health food kick, and showed me the beverage she found, which turned out to be KT. was I ever surprised, and pleased and bought one immediatly. Well I think I am addicted as I think about KT when I dont have one to drink and when the nest time I well be in town to beable to get one. My sister is not sure about where to get a new scoby....I don't think I con live with out it.....How can I contact you to send the little money that is need to receive one of your little beauties. Thank you Sheffel c_sheffel@... Re: Question Hi Jan, If you are in the United States I love to send you one of my very happy thick white scobies.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 That could be. I have never allowed my kids to drink much soda, the sugar in our house is (mostly) unrefined (I have a canister that had some white sugar in it but I never use it), not much in the way of convenience foods or refined stuff. But still.... My son's g/f tried some yesterday and like it, too, and she drinks soda. My daughter did say that she felt it didn't have a LOT of flavor. I'm noticing that the brew I bottled on Weds, did a secondary ferment for 24 hours then refrigerated, has more flavor now than when I bottled it. The flavor was quite subtle at first but seems to be developing. It might be similar to when someone is used to a lot of salt and then cuts back.. nothing tastes like anything until their tastebuds adjust - then they can actually taste the food, rather than the salt.

Thanks so much. > > You might think about one state down from Colo., New Mexico. Especially Albuquerque. We have pretty good services here. We've lived here since Louie was 12, and he's had all the services you mention from then to now (he's 27 now). The cost of living isn't too bad here either, there are lots of kid-friendly activities that are cheap to free, there's a good Special Olympics program here, and the politicians are endlessly entertaining (as good as a circus, any day). Also, we only have a week or two of 100+ temperatures per year, and the winters never get really cold. So think about Albuquerque.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi Trudy, I'm desperately trying to figure things out too! This is such a hard syndrome to understand. is 2 and his fevers usually just last 5 or 6 days. He has never episoded that quick again before. Sometimes though I think the episode is over and I stop the Motrin/Tylenol (not wanting to over medicate him) and the fever pops right back because it was masked by the pain relievers. had a episode last week and the fevers stopped on Friday... finally. He is still up all night saying " Ouch. " So for some reason he hurts still even though the fevers have stopped. Hope your little girls feels better soon! We all understand what you are going through.

She now is refusing to eat or drink, and complaining that her legs hurt. has never stopped for a day or two then started back so quickly and so strong. Question does anyone else have this happen often. On another note also had severe reflux as a infant and toddler.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi gals, I too feel in the same boat this past week. Zak, just turned 3, has been " not well " since monday. He hasn't had a " classic " fever since March, but we've been getting wierd lower grade temps, upset tummy, mouth ulcers, and constant pain in his chest. I wrote earlier that he had just started the cimenitine (sp?) on friday, on top of his daily prevacid since we're not sure if it's reflux related???? I feel frazzled today and have another call into the dr, as he is miserable for the 8th day in a row. He's up and down, no fever over 102, but chest pain, says his whole body is icky, a little goopy eyes, and LOTS of drooling! I don't know what's going on, but I'm beginning to think that is not the answer! My frustrations and prayers are with you both!
