Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Are you low in iron? If so, I recommend Floradix. It's natural and well-absorbed. A good B complex might help you with energy and would not hurt you. I love Floradix. Iron without the constipation. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Didn't mean to post and run. I took a nap. Tex and Renai should have known because I told them all about going to see Spectre the other day as an early brithday present. Then I had to explain that was James Bond. Well, I looked up the movie myself and saw it was James Bond. So, there's that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Despite having Hispanic last names and occupation by the Spanish, Filipinos are not classified as Hispanic. But that doesn't stop the telemarketers from calling us in Spanish or sending us Spanish junk mail including a Spanish language women's magazine. But then we get the Filipino telemarketers who spout off to me in Tagalog (which I don't speak) offering me new and exciting ways to send money back to the Philippines. Well, I'm a black woman with a Hispanic last name, who speaks English too white to be black. And am fluent Spanish, with a bit of Japanese and German language thrown in. So, there's that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Oh ugh. So they have "Hispanic" as a race? They should have race, and then ethnicity. Hispanics can be any "race". And mind you I just say this from my demographer's hat. In actual fact I am not a fan of the drop-down menus and am working to eliminate it from our statistics and to put in place an alternative coding system. Still, if you're going to have drop-downs, do it right. Let them choose more than one and have ethnicity (Hispanic/Latina, Jewish (though some would have that as a race, biologically it makes even less sense than the other divisions), and uh... that's about it). Also, we don't have one for Australian indigenous peoples. Supposedly they are "Other Pacific Islander" but Australia isn't an island! Yep. This is making me want to be sure to write the state about this issue. I'll probably do it tomorrow. Oh, wait, I have parent teacher conferences. It'll happen before Christmas. Yeah. Dh wants me to mark Mexican Indian on forms. I think I did it for the census, I don't remember. Technically, it's American Indian, because Mexico is in America. But, Native American is usually only used for indigenous in the USA. So...yeah. I really like being outside the box, I guess. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your husband is right. "Other, Mexican Indian" or "Other, Indigenous Central American" or "Other, Native American". Another option is mestizo, which is mixed and which people like me will mark under "American Indian" because screw them all, I'm still here, and which others will relegate simply to "Hispanic". But Black race, Mestizo ethnicity will get you african, euro-indigenous, Hispanic, at least in my data set.

Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 No cow milk for us. It doesn't like us. Almond all around here baby! Gymnast and I are lactose intolerant. I started her out on coconut, then almond milk. The Feingold diet took almond milk away. Since we've never been able to fully implement the diet though (because dh), it has been in vain. She drinks Lactaid now. We won't go back because she's always borderline underweight and milk has more calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is an Other, I do write it in. Because that's just the kind of person I am. That, and since I was always to white to be black and grew up with an identity crisis, I may as well create identity crises with my children as well. No? :lol: Just kidding. Kind of. I tell them to embrace all aspects of who they are. Which is much. (My oldest has Irish/Scottish roots. She loves that.

Renai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 So, Slash. I'm looking at that 21 day fix thing. The problem I'm coming across with most workouts is, I don't really want to lose a bunch of weight, if any. I just want to be fit, which I'm not. I think that's why I bounce around and start and stop. Yes, I have a belly, but I could live with it. It is dd2's fault. She was big. But, I like to exercise.

I'm not a very good bestie. I spent a lot of my childhood in Alabama. I remember being about t4-5 and asking my mom what a nig*** was because the neighbor girl I used to play with called me that one day. Mom just told me it wasn't a nice name and not to play with the girl anymore, so I didn't. We moved to Ohio when I was a young teen and waiting housing in Germany. There, I learned I was too white to really be black. Who knew there was such a thing? My mom's a teacher. I spoke "proper." Sue me. I went to Germany and there hung out with a lot of Puerto Ricans. I knew then I'd marry one. But, he turned out to be Mexican. Oh, well. Still Hispanic. :001_rolleyes: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
