Jean in Newcastle Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I text and photo bombed Tex. She still loves me. Because. . . friends and I know where she lives. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Yup. It doesn't have to be life-threatening to impact your life. Some of DS's allergies (confirmed with blood work and not "insensitivities"), even though they could become more severe with no warning, manifest in ways that just make life really sucky if he consumes them - not necessarily anaphylaxis. Puking, diarrhea, irritability, mood swings, rashes. And one of his insensitivities (citric acid) manifests as psoriasis on his scalp, which we have to attack with medicine. I always know when he sneaks dum-dums from the library. I think the food everywhere thing is a big reason why DS doesn't want to play sports. It's definitely a big reason why we homeschool. Even when we go to the park to play, everyone has food these days. My goodness, the amount of people who bring PIZZA (I've even seen people have it delivered!) to our park astounds me. Can't go anywhere without food. Youngest has a bunch too. She also gets eczema in her scalp. I had never heard of it before until I started connecting the dots. She also has a citrus allergy (manifested as a horrible blistering rash that kept spreading when she was still in diapers). I was thinking the eczema in the scalp was happening when she had dairy though. I don't know. I just know her hair falls out on that side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I think I want an exercise bike or treadmill. Opinions? This is based on the fact that I can't really get out much and I'm tired of videos. I could easily fit 15 minutes of jogging in where I could not fit a 45 minute workout video in. I want a treadmill more, but a bike would be cheaper. Unfortunately I can afford neither until after the holidays. We usually buy something to further our health with the tax return. Last year was weights, one year was our first attempt at once a (3) month cooking to prevent us from eating out. This year we were planning on a Whole90, because that was more expensive than we thought it would be and we couldn't afford to continue as long as I wanted, but I might want a treadmill instead. Whacha think? I want a bike. Because knees. But I probably can't. Because space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 You know Lynn, if you had done the 100 push ups challenge when I told you to you would probably be able to do 100 push ups by now. And you'd have defined arms. And perkier boobies. Hey, that's private. My like was To indicate empathy. I love food and celebratory food, can't stand the all-food-all-the-time culture. My kids can totally go an hour without eating. Yes, they can. A few can't but they are the exception. :D Gotta go wield a hoe. :grouphug: I've been crying all day for no real reason. :grouphug: I told her she should get the free 100 pushup app because it's a great bookend to C25K. Instead she laughed maniacally and went out for ice cream. That still sounds pretty logical to me. Except I might skip the ice cream now. Might. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Y only has kid sports and a childcare center. Gyms around here are expensive, even the city one, and none are sliding scale. Except where I do zumba. But, that's not a gym, it's a dance studio.
