Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 bink, can't take a week off, but I can call in sick tomorrow due to dental problems, Great idea, hugs gs Ps, I find that calling in sick after having a big " talk " helps the " talk " resonate and sink in. If you keep behaving the sameat work, they don't see why they should care. Also you are right, I have " rights " as the most productive worker of the 4 of us. > ---Girlscout, > You are already sounding better....keep taking care of yourself > and enjoy your puppies.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Did it help her lose belly fat? If, so...I'm in!  Take Care Of You, JaneSoul Re: what is meds and what isn't Have you ever tried Relacore? It's a B-complex sold as a " lose belly fat " compound, but actually we sleep FABULOUSLY when we take it before bedtime. My stepmother used it through menopause too, it really helped her deal with the stress & changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
