please be careful in taking it all the time, I did, for years and years of joint pain, it is part of the reason I have Mast cell build up in my gut. It's great for reducing inflammation, does the trick, I used to take 2 or 3 every 6 hours for bad sciatica, period cramps, tendonitis.. developed MCAS, and leaky gut.
There are many theories that this goes back to Shakespearean theater, and the meaning is to give such a good performance, as the actor takes his curtain call, he bows to the audience in a form of curtsy, as one would do in formal greeting to royalty, "breaking a leg" instead of bowing from the waste. Meaning that he gives such a good performance, the audience is wildly applauding enough so that the actor humbly "breaks a leg".
Late to the game, but just watched "Stay Sweet", the documentary about the Fundamentalist LDS cult and those poor children and women and men who lost their family ties (and their minds and souls) to the Mormon cult. I couldn't sleep last night because of it. Not all traffickers are in Hollywood, and I am sure it is still going on right under the noses of one of the wealthiest religions in America. Those poor little girls, turned into mothers, and those poor boys being thrown out into the streets so that old men can rape and "marry "young girls. SO much to pray for and get rid of.
Dear Leftists who are pro Muslim : Girls, are you wearing pants to the protest? The Sharia police in Iran will have you beaten, are you also protesting for "right to choose, or have you had an abortion? You will be stoned to death. Are you also waving the gay flag along with your pro Palestine flag? You will be stoned to death. As a matter of fact, you should not be on the street at all, you have no say in Islam, know your place. Boys did you get take out pizza at your meetings to stop traffic for pro Muslim marches? Was it Haalal? If not you have scorned Allah, are you holding signs that include the Cross and Star of David and the Crescent Moon that say "coexist"? Attempting to promote freedom of religion or converting anyone to Christianity is punishable by death. These leftists have no idea of the reality of the world that they are living in. Jews dehumanize anyone who is not Jewish, and Muslims declare death to infidels . Christ should be the one you seek, it is the only way to peace, and waving flags for Jews or Muslims while in the United States of America for causes you have no idea about, shows me that your University and education are being wasted. Instead go enlist for foreign service for those armies and let some others take your seat in the classroom.
Vitamins that need food in the stomach are ones that are oil soluble, so they need a certain amount of fat, not a lot. Vitamins A D E CoQ10 are examples. B and C are water soluble take on an empty stomach. Some are absorbed better on an empty, but may cause some distress, these are Alpha Lipoic Acid, L Carnitine, and Acetyl L Cysteine.
All I know is that I roll one joint a day, and take a few hits through the day. If it is a day to goof off and watch movies, I will smoke more, and that will make me feel a bit more of the effect, not feel like doing much except to watch the movie and snack, if I take a couple of hits, I may feel a buzz, but the stiffness in my joints (body joints) is abated and my movements are better. I will be 74 and have used pot for a very long time. Not everyone drinks more after one glass of wine, and they can do so without being considered under the influence, especially if it is with dinner. A glass of sherry at night is a lot different than 12 beers in a day. And you can pass out from too much pot, have you not heard the term "greening out", or eat more than one brownie? There is such a thing as couch lock. Moderation is the key.
My opinion, legalizing cannabis takes it out of the hands of the drug dealers, I use it daily, I do not get "stoned", it's a matter of how much you do at one time, just like with alcohol, one glass of wine or a bottle? It has less health risks than alcohol, it does indeed have medical value, for mobility issues, adhd, inflammation, poor appetite, anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, parkinsons, it helps alleviate pain and can allow those treated for pain to remain at their dose, instead of having to raise the dose over time. If you have property, and grow it for your own use, no one should tell you what kind of plant to grow or what to do with it. I have heard of drunken brawls but never heard of cannabis brawls. I live in a legal state, grow my own for years, I do not sell it, but, if I wanted to , I can go to a dispensary and buy some.
gamers clean and cook? My son is a gamer, left to his own devices, the house would be condemned within a year and he would die overdosing on what he does to frozen pizza, he adds stuff on to it and once made burritos stuffed with cheese, ground beef, pepperoni and frozen pizza.
Each region has it's own culture, and even though some traditions came from original immigrants, the regions give their own flavor. Appalachian music, Jazz, for instance, both are purely American. The Boradway musical is 100% made and born in America, American literature differs between regions, as the stories are from those places. American as apple pie started in New England, as does a lot of seafood. I am most familiar with New England as I've lived here most of my life, and there are traditions that come from here, not there. Our Artists like Andrew Wyeth and Alice Neel, pure American, even within a region, there are differences, different accents, different crafts and styles of furniture making. So even if nationalism brings about patriotism, there are still different regions with their own unique "flavor', cajun jambalaya, Brunswick stew, poutine, maple syrup, Miles Davis or June Carter Cash, bluegrass or real country western, all American. Loggers or shrimp boats, snowshoe or water ski, we are a mixed quilt as it is, no need to bring other "diverse" or new traditions in.
I stopped eating citrus, if I lived down South I would still eat it, when I lived in Fla for a short time, I rented a house that had 2 orange and grapefruit trees, very old and mature trees, that was something. But for the past few years I just eat fruits from the northeast and from the market where I know they are strict about organic. Apples, blueberries, raspberries and black currents I grow, and I pick a lot more at organic farms for freezing and applesauce. I do love those Amish peaches though, from PA, and there are organic options for those, cost a fortune but its the best part of August.We have an enormous food co op right in town and I trust them and their produce. I buy by the bushel and pick by the gallon, from trusted sources and freeze, and make jams, the black currants are an acquired taste, but so healthy!
I know. I gently remind people that both Jews and Muslims reject the New Testament and are living with the Old Testament. They are both Abrahamic faiths. If you live by the New, your entire worldview changes, and so does your behavior. Islam lives by Shariah law, which delights in stonings, beheadings, beatings, etc for infringements of it. Orthodox Judaism believes an eye for an eye, and basically dehumanizes, philosophically, all non Jews. They allow abominable practices in the darker corners. The New Jerusalem is within the Body of Christ. God is most unpleased with Israel, he showed his mercy as offering up the Christ in the body of his son, and offered an eternity with HIM for believing in Jesus Christ. We are the chosen. The ones in denial will continue to shed blood and die in vane. We are the Third Temple. Christ is King.
As the heretical religions and regions battle it out, I pray that all Christians near these battles find safe haven. this is not our war, and no Christian should be drawn in. They both denied the Christ and with that denial they have regressed to tribal primitive war, I don't care what kind of technology they are using, they have signed away the invitation for divine transformation within the body of Christ, and this is where that leads, the hell of war. I pray for the babies and children, because angels know the innocent and if they must perish, they will find the loving arms of Christ to take them away from that hell. Praise God, He is just and has mercy, but to deny him being present in Jesus Christ and denying the Holy Spirit has led to the doom of their purpose. I suppose you can say that I have washed my hands of them. Without Jesus all men return to a savage state.
Read Jeremiah 49, my gut told me to read Jeremiah this last winter, because I do take the "save Israel for last" Q post as serious as a heart attack. I believe there is going to be war and that Israel will be treated as they have treated the children in Gaza.. God is not pleased with the bombing of children, it does not matter that they are muslim, they are children and can always be converted,, the children and babies being bombed like fish in a barrel does not please God, if you read Jeremiah, you will learn how Q and past proofs and scripture walk hand in hand in many ways.
How to know that Satan is prancing around playing with our world? Because we have people like the Kardashians taking up media space and they have followers. Everyone knew he was guilty, they played the race card and got away with murder.
I am a little old lady who comes here to learn, Q has not posted for a long time, I do love to read the future is past proofs..I have little to offer except my faith and eye witness accounts, to dispel some stereotypes, like "Vermont is a libtard blue state". It is not, depending on what county you live in, Vermont is pro Trump and Conservative with good Christian neighbors and a libertarian spirit. I have been a prepper long before Q, I am a prepper because faith in a system that controls all the money and technology and media is just foolish. It can all be brought down with the push of a few keys on the keyboard, just a matter of time. I enjoy the camaraderie of Christians and hope to influence people to get the hell out of cities and be prepared to live in serious times, to not hide your heads in the sand but also to not despair or be frightened. The world is full of people who lose it when their blow dryers won't work, I seek authenticity when I communicate, this site is authentic. I wish I had been here at the beginning, but I was not. I compare everything that goes on in the world to scripture, it is not conspiracy, if you read the good book and do research from that, and see what is happening, it all fits.
I homestead and care for a disabled person in my home, hands on care, for that I get paid a stipend and rent. I have never worked in business or education, my pastimes are linked to homesteading. Simple work that you have to have a calling for to accomplish well. I will never be wealthy but there is nothing I could buy to replace what I already have, a plot of land, gardens, a healthy strong son, God's word and guidance. AI will not make my dahlias bloom or lay the eggs for my breakfast.
I fought the statin suggestions for years, 74 now, they started in my mid 50's. It took that long to find a doctor who agrees with me. I knew I loved her when I had my first visit and told her not to mess with my butter, she laughed and said, don't worry that will not happen. It turned my sisters brain to mush.
As others have mentioned, Arnica gel, don't get the store brand, it is not cheap but it sure does work. And you have to rest it, be patient. If it hurts, rest it. Ice, elevation, sometimes the muscles tense up in the legs and groin as they are trying to take the weight of what the knee would support, so you can use heat on the thighs and groin muscles but use ice where the sprain is. Magnesium helps relax the muscles around it. Take care!
If you are new to prayer, or new to the concept of Christ as Lord and Savior, I found this helpful to me, I pray to Him for guidance, I use the words and call him by name, Jesus Christ, son of God now, I have had doubts in my mind, I did feel foolish, especially if I had lived my life cocksure that I was the boss of my own life. Time and time again we are given evidence of our powerlessness over temptations that take us far from God, but we go back to denial. So, the simple prayer, Jesus Christ,I invite you into my life I do not understand all of this, please show me thy will, the way you want me to be". But then you must try to stay awake to see the signs, to see what choices come up for you in the day. Pay attention, you have a soul, it is the way God talks to you, some of us refer to that as the Holy Spirit. When the opportunity comes to forgive someone, somebody who pisses you off, ask him to show you the way, and be humble, tell him you cannot forgive but ask him to forgive him for you. (After all, he really is the only one with the power to forgive.) Open your mind and just invite him, as your teacher, through the Holy Spirit, to come into your life and show you the way. I was raised within an Irish Catholic home, my father was Presbyterian. At 18, I went as far from belief as any sinner could, labelled all religion as false, and did what I wanted to do. The results were not good, God only knows. I hope you ask Him to come in.
