Lol well that link eliminates the breakfast burrito I had for breakfast. Nah, too strict :P

Yeah it's just I've been in the hole every single month for the past few months so spending more on supplements just is kinda out of the question. If I magically run into some money I'll try them again I suppose. I don't know which I need though, more stomach acid/HCL or digestive enzymes. I would think digestive enzymes. I don't seem to have problems with bloating barring just eating too much. Running several miles a day, ha... you give me too much credit. More like one every other day lately.

breakfast burrito

Oh my...

Before I went gluten free I used to get the chicken chipotle burrito's at del taco with extra chipotle.

Those things are a culinary gift from God.

JovaLyme how are you friend? I feel like you've been a bit less active on this forum lately. Are you ok friend?

Are you guys going to buy anything on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
Posted 11/26/2019 2:44 AM (GMT 0)
Rainy that sounds so good! I haven't ever been to Del Taco actually. I'm planning on a breakfast burrito during our little road trip on Wednesday haha. I'm addicted to them now. They're so hearty and filling.

I'm not doing anything for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I just started my Christmas shopping today and already got most of it done. Mostly on eBay. They have everything.

Dude how are you doing my dear friend?
Posted 11/26/2019 4:55 AM (GMT 0)
No changes to report. Still unemployed and looking. If I don't secure a job soon, I'm going to be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

But, what doesn't kill me makes me stronger, I guess. Or, maybe it'll just drive me into a deeper depression and I'll lose what little mind I have remaining.

Other than that, the fatigue, and the several other symptoms, everything is great.

I hope you're doing better. Will you be with others for Thanksgiving?
Posted 11/26/2019 11:44 AM (GMT 0)
I'm so sorry to hear about work Dude.

I wish I could somehow help.

Let's not go the route of depression, although I know that's hard.

Can I purchase you some disulfiram? Would you be willing to try it? No costs involved.

I will be with my roommates for Thanksgiving, which will be nice.

What about you friend?

Thank you for the very generous offer of disulfiram. I greatly appreciate it, but I'm not sure that it's appropriate for me. Also, at the moment, I'm not under the active care of an LLMD. So, I wouldn't feel comfortable self-treating with a medication. Again, I do sincerely appreciate your kindness and concern.

As for Thanksgiving, I'm supposed to be with my lady friend. I hope you and your roommates have a great time.

How do you guys get through these times of year, do you have family around?

No, thank God. smile I've spent most of my holidays alone, so it's usually not a big deal for me. Some years can be more challenging than others, but, given how big business, the media, and consumerism have ruined the holidays, anyway, it's less of an issue for me, as the years pass. I have a lady friend with whom I enjoy spending some time.

Stay strong man. I'm suffering here. Disulfiram is giving me hope but honestly, I'd be as good as dead without it I reckon. Seriously depressed, last month I got treated like dirt having seizures and going to the hospital. The doctors act as if it's just anxiety.

Hoping you feel better soon.

Thank you for the well-wishes, friend. I'm terribly sorry for the suffering you're enduring. You having a much worse time than me...yet, here you are encouraging others. Obviously, you have a lot of physical, mental, and emotional stamina. It may not always feel like it, but your actions prove otherwise. You're also a kind-hearted soul.

Keep your eye, mind, and heart on the prize. Things can change in an instant and we never know how close we are to that point of inflection. Consider this: Right now, you're an hour closer to getting better than you were an hour ago. And, an hour from now, you'll be that much closer. The time isn't in vain -- it's bringing you closer to your destination.

Oh yeah I read about those rollers, now they're tempting me. I was about to go to Taco Bell today for breakfast but decided against it. I'm sure it's in my near future though seeing as there's two right near me.

My husband calls me Girlie.
And even though our female cat’s name is Pepper - he sometimes calls her Girlie too.

I was and I did... smile I hope you and your roomies had a great time.

I'm looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow. I just finished off some gelato and about to polish off some chocolate, too. I'd like to say this was a rare occasion for me, but, really, I usually eat what I want. Fortunately, what I want now isn't as bad as it was in my younger years.

Do you guys have any pet peeves?

I'm not sure the server has enough free disk space for me to list mine. ha...

Here are a few:

1. People who drown themselves in perfumes and colognes, because, like many others on the forum, I'm chemically sensitive.
2. Loud cell phone talkers in public places. ("Yeah, I got food poisoning and now I have volcanic diarrhea!" -- TMI)
3. Televisions everywhere (restaurants, banks, airports, on gas pumps) with all the worst news -- or, "reality" TV.
4. Self-checkout kiosks in stores.
4a. Touch screens where you have to sign with your finger and contact the same diseased-laden screen some snot-nosed kid probably sneezed upon or was touched by a person who just came from the bathroom and didn't wash their hands.
5. Automated telephone systems when calling a business.
6. The U.S. Postal Service. Pick any facet of the organization.
7. People who make long lists of their pet peeves.

Sad to hear that UnsightlyCignet sad

I was reading a lot of books about sleep and the importance of deep sleep. So as a reminder to focus on that I went with that name.

How is your sleep routine? Lyme etc changes a lot, but by working on things in our control I noticed a big difference. I just had a night with very poor sleep, anxiety etc, but in general its a lot better.

The biggest things for me has been a walk outside in the morning so the light can set the circadian rhythm. Not being in bed after 4 pm until Im going to sleep. Having my last big meal 3 hours before going to bed. No screen time 1 hour before.
I do this 5 days a week. One very important thing is trying to have a sleep schedule where you wake up about the same time all the week. I havent done that well about this, but it is supossed to be very important.

Also to fix your sleep enviroment, clean, no light etc.

HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can relate.

" 1. People who drown themselves in perfumes and colognes, because, like many others on the forum, I'm chemically sensitive.
- when people make me sneeze......there is something wrong with the crap they put on.

2. Loud cell phone talkers in public places. ("Yeah, I got food poisoning and now I have volcanic diarrhea!" -- TMI)
-lets announce your issues to everyone around you

3. Televisions everywhere (restaurants, banks, airports, on gas pumps) with all the worst news -- or, "reality" TV. My gas station pump has a mute button!!

4a. Touch screens where you have to sign with your finger and contact the same diseased-laden screen some snot-nosed kid probably sneezed upon or was touched by a person who just came from the bathroom and didn't wash their hands. - yea gross

5. Automated telephone systems when calling a business. " - I push * or # automatically

"I can't abide everything being automated, people being replaced by computers, everything being online instead of in the real world. At this rate, computers will be doing everything, no one will have a job and we will never leave the house or ever speak to another human being. It's complete madness. "

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, its maddening but........... specialized, or odd jobs will be left. Jobs with repeating tasks (white and blue collar) are the ones that will go. Some white collar elimination is next, once its figured out high paid CEO are not needed. Math probability algorithms can replace them and their golf outings with other CEO's. And sales...........Toyota sells new cars out of a huge "vending machine car ramp" in........is it..Texas?? But the small used car lot will always have people.

As far as manual labor goes; all is not lost, If the robot operation cost more than the repair, a human is still the better option and will be for a long time.. Remember repairing and assembling on an assembly line (robotics have already been there for years) are opposites. Humans can do wider variety if trained or naturally inclined, but not good for repetition (because of error).

In the past people more relied on "born with skills". Today some young people have no idea what their born with skills are, they have not found them. Born with skills are mostly found in childhood- if its allowed..... and that is part of the problem with modern "helicopter" patenting. Kids are not allowed to be kids and / or accidentally find out what their skills are. Everything is not learned in school. Kids play is where learning starts, and then into young adult development.

"Dont build a tree fort in the woods, its too dangerous" - most builders did this as children. "Dont get a beater car and try to fix it, we'll get you a new one at graduation"- so much for mechanics. "Never talk to strangers, they could be bad people" - so much for interpersonal skills. This is oversimplification, but you get the point.

The biggest issue with modern digital age is it promotes lazyness.

Dont focus on things you dont like. You need to focus on the good things.

Here's a question: What inspired your usernames?

Mine is inspired by Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski (played by Jeff Bridges) in the 1998 film "The Big Lebowski."

Around 90 seconds from where the following clip starts, the phrase "The Dude Abides" is mentioned:

https://youtu.be/wj726wyc3qw?t=48s

How about your screen name?
Posted 12/1/2019 8:20 PM (GMT 0)
Oh global warming isn't a problem, the disgusting manner in which we pollute the environment is! The air we breathe in cities is poisonous, kids come down with asthma left and right. We have plastic in the fish we eat, we've messed up the water with contraceptive medicines. Livestock are absolutely anhiliated with antibiotics and we end up eating steroid filled, antibiotic riddled meat.

The list goes on and on and it's all man's arrogance. Time's like black Friday sicken me because they're part of the problem. This mindless consumerism and planned obsolescence especially are just straight up wrong.

The bible goes on and on about the dark side of human nature and this is definitely part of it. Man was given dominion not dictatorship over the world lol.

Finally it's in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 described to a T. However, I look at human history, I think the end times means something else entirely, that and the visions in Revelation were figurative, I think at least.

Rant over.

John Goodman went all-in on that movie in general and that scene in particular!
