Stinkerbell

Happy Birthday GNP. Have a wonderful one.

Congrats!! Have a great time. :D BTW, order the most expensive item on the menu. :P I think it is going to be a Pre-Paid Menu where there will be a couple of choices to choose from and an open bar from what he said.

Quite a shock, but it made me quite happy. While sitting down for lunch in the Teachers Lounge a Co-Worker and fellow teacher approached me and asked me out on a date. He asked me if I would like to attend a Bow Tie Dinner with him this Saturday evening. I said yes as this guy is very nice and also attractive. He may be 34 years old, which is several years older than me but that is no problem. He has always been nice to me since I started teaching 2 years ago. So since I haven't been on a date since college I am pretty excited and happy about this.

Here is my advice the vinyl will always be there. Go out and get a job and keep the money you have for the essentials right now. I say return the album.

Thank You

Love it. Sometimes this Stinkerbell feels like giving the finger gesture from time to time as well. :) Treeduck comes up with something good every once in a while! Hello, Stinkerbell! Another fan of all you mentioned in your original post! I'm a little older, and encompass The end of the 50s [from the radio] and The Beatles were my first Mega-Band, Supplanted By RUSH after I saw them on the "Kirshner's Rock Concert" show late in '74. The minute I saw Neil and his 'kit', I was OWNED! Anyhow, good to see you here, and welcome to the Club!

I don't pay attention to comments like that at all. I stay away from all that sort of stuff as I don't have time for any of that. I have been enjoying myself here a lot. As do you! Music is my end all and be all.... I LOVE to have people around me who do that also! Most all of my friends in my youth were BIG into music...making it as well as listening to it...Mondo Stereos in their cars etc. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/BananaDrumset.gif I do love music and Rush, but Art is my end all be all. It has always been Art for me since I was little. Same here with music and I! My parents bought me an album in '65, "The Chipmunks Sing The Beatles' Hits" [ Which I still own and on CD also] and my favorite thing back then was playing that record on my portable record player in my room and using my Mom's Tupperware and wooden spoons for my 'Kit' to play along! Percussion is IN MY SOUL!!! I learned the real deal in middle and High School, and keyboards also! Chimes, Xylophone, Vibraphone, Marimba, Tympani and Glockenspiel! Here's my Kit in '77... http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Me%20stuff/MyStuff-TheKit.jpg I REALLY LOVE PERCUSSION!!! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Banana%20World/BananaDrumset.gif That is fantastic. I also had gymnastics which I started way back at the age of 5 and went to the age of 17. I really enjoyed my time doing gymnastics.

Penny Lane- Almost Famous

yes it is, thanks. It is awesome.

That might be my favorite album and Heart Of The Sunrise is easily my fave from Fragile. There is a live version of "Heart of the Sunrise" on Youtube that has Howe and Rabin, Kaye and Wakeman, White and Buford, Squire and Anderson and it is amazing. I'll post it later after I get home from work. Link plz? Thanks!

The last guy/boy that hit on me was at the local Mall when I was shopping with a friend of mine. He must have been dared to go up and ask for my phone number by his friends. The funny thing is the boy was 16 years old. So he came up to me and said, Hi, I'm (I'll refrain from using his name). I think you are hot. Can I give you my phone number and maybe we can talk? I said, " Oh sweetie, How old are you?" He said I'm 16. I said, "Sweetie if I took your phone number and gave you mine and we went out you would have to visit me in jail." He was like, What? I said, " I am 25 years old." His face turned blood red and he began to become so apologetic with I am so sorry Ma'am's I have heard in a long time. This whole time this was going one my friend was looking on laughing her ass off. There are advantages to being 25 and looking like I am 15, but that sure the hell isn't one of them. :)

That is so awesome. Congratulations.

Being a girl, I just can't do it in a Gas Station bathroom or something like that. We gals can't stand to take a piss. I suppose I could squat over a nasty toilet to pee, but that is still nasty. Now when I am on a very long State To State drive to go on vacation and I stop at a Rest Area on the Interstate that is somewhat difference in cleanliness. I can use those rest areas.

They are my favorites, but I have several close runner ups.

I would tell my Mom and that's it. Since I have no siblings or a SO at this time that would be it.

Ignorance

Why post that that when literally everyone is familiar with scurvy? Of course deficiencies in important minerals and vitamins can be a problem. My doctor ran a dna analysis of me and discovered I have a rare condition in which my body doesn't make very much vitamin D and I need to take a daily supplement. I never knew I had it because the way I felt was "normal" to me. Supplementing was an eye opener. Scurvy ?? .. That's a vitamin C deficiency You're living in denial if you think your average GP is going to take a B12 test when a patient presents with symptoms relating to OCD, anxiety, social issues, etc ..... And as I pointed out - JUST ONE EXAMPLE B12 is just one deficiency Of all the people here who have seen doctors for anxiety and other mood related issues, I'd love to know how many doctors took B12 tests before doling out prescriptions for SSRIs and other band aids .. There is no health care industry in this country anymore ... It is a sickness industry, and the only way to remain healthy is to educate yourself, read and ask questions I guess you missed the point. You posted an article to prove that vitamin deficiencies can cause health problems. My point is that this is common knowledge using sailors 300 years ago and scurvy as an example. Yes, and this is where the term "limey" comes from, as a way of warding off scurvy, sailors would eat limes ( or so the story goes ) My point is that while finding a knowledgeable practitioner is imperative, educating yourself is equally important as no one knows our bodies like ourselves ... Being in touch and connected with you own body, mind and spirit is essential to good health .. The vitamin deficiency issue extends far beyond a simple diagnosis of one lacking element .... Early on, one of my blood tests showed an extremely elevated B6 result, which to the doctor who prescribed the test, was baffling .... B6 in extremely high concentrations can cause all types of symptoms, and his recommendation was for me to refrain from foods high in B6 ( salmon, chicken, spinach .. all which were integral parts of my diet ) Not satisfied with this, I delved into methylation and the pathways that are essential to health ... Excess B6 is not necessarily a sign of simply taking in too much B6, but it is an indication that the body is not converting B6 ( which in that state is unusable ) to the beneficial pyridoxal-5-phosphate ( P5P ) .... As I found out, on my own, vitamin B6 is useless until it is converted to its active form, P5P ... This process depends on other elements such as zinc and B12 .... so, if a person is low in B12, or if their copper/zinc ratio is out of balance, excess B6 will accumulate due to the body not converting the B6 to P5P ... This process of methylation is essential to sustain not only good health, but to life .... And it was only after my own reading that I began to understand the big picture, and that is when I sought out a doctor who was not only educated in this, but applied it to the patients .. From my experience, a lot of MDs are against people educating themselves because they are not taught to apply these foundation aspects when treating the patient .... Band aids are easier, and simply following the AMA guidelines is safe for their practice I think you are absolutely correct Lucas as educating ourselves about our bodies is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle as I was told once I turned around 11 or 12 to really start doing so. There are medical things however that are definitely way beyond my level of expertise of even knowing my body or even knowing how to handle it if I ever unfortunately came down with one of those diseases. So you are correct again in managing a good relationship with a practitioner you trust and also knowing your body is always the best to help you stay the healthiest in my book.
