i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Hi @Former-Member
Yes - we can get run-down - and I feel run-down - but I bought a salad sandwich for lunch - and a coffee scroll - and I ate the scroll late in the afternoon and didn't have the appetite for dinner - but still - I had a packet of vegetable juice which could be worse - and I can actually taste the vegetables now
Mastitis!! - are you still breast-feeding - or trying to stop - that is getting the baby to stop - maybe if you will do anything at all sensible to get some sleep letting him have the breast is far from wrong.
My children weren't breast-fed - not from choice - breast feeding and adoption don't really go together - and dd was prem and couldn't latch on - I didn't know anything about inverted nipples - how was that not known about? - I never thought to ask anyone if I was normal - bad luck for a premmie though - she was in hospital for about 4 weeks after she was born - and a different hospital from where I was - and I was told to dry up my milk and I had gallons of it - and I got mastitis -
How that hurts and how ill it makes women feel - I am wondering if you are still nursing and if it helps - ouch - oooohhhh - ummmmm - I can just about squinch my eyes up at the memory
Home cures - cabbage leaves - yes - that is what I have read - no experience - and I don't know if they are raw or cooked or soaked or frozen and thawed - maybe I can look this up unless some other old-wife knows -
It's interesting how your Dad's cousin was in an aslyum and nobody talked about it. I know that people with serious MIs are hard to communicate with - but the poor guy - I wonder if anyone went to see him. I feel such treatment was brutal. It is brutal - but I can only comment that I don't know much about it - I am learning though
Both of us need to eat better food - I did today - for lunch - let's try and eat some vegetables everyday - it can only help - and I hope you can get some relief from the mastistis

The free-spirited bohemian artistes of this life are not always appreciated .... but there was a reason they tended to band together into communities .....
The Impressionist painters of early last century kicked the traces of The Salon in Paris, and the arrondissement of Mont Marte stands testament to their achievements, as do art galleries and private collections all over the world .....
Gotta bloom where you're planted .... that's what I believe ,... but it can take a while to work out how to do that .... and that's okay ❣
