Are massive doses of acidophilus any help? They help with mine, taken before or just after I eat soy, but I don't have peanut allergy.

Never tried that but I'm Willing to. The peanut thing's a sensitivity not a true allergy. Soy is hard to avoid. Much harder than peanuts. My sympathies.

Same with the soy, a sensitivity. I buy Primadophalus Optima in the refrigerated organic area at a local supermarket but have also found great results with shelf stabile versions of multiple strain caplets from the drugstore, 15 to 50 billion CFU.

I think the more strains are in it the better and the higher potency helps. I take one about ten minutes before eating something I suspect will have soy protein or oil, or as soon as possible after if I start to get sick because I unwittingly ate something wrong.

Goodbye to a cat

This afternoon we had to take our elderly cat to the veterinary practice for the last time. She had been increasingly unhappy since the weekend and dehydrated for the last two days - drinking every five minutes.

We were sad to have her put to sleep but even aggressive intervention wouldn't have kept her alive for more than a few days and she would have been in pain for all that time.

It wasn't surprising that she had come to the end of her life. Our best estimate of her age is either 19 or 20 years old, the oldest that any of our cats had reached. Until about three months ago she was still fairly active but her back legs had been gradually failing to work when she wanted to climb. During the last week the legs had become wobbly as she walked on a level surface.

She was a small tortoiseshell cat that always looked like a kitten, and played like one with first our children and recently with our grandchildren. She has been part of the family for so long that she is going to leave a large gap in our lives.

Having been there and done that, I offer my sympathy.
It really ain't fun.

Thank you Magica and Handley.

It's been a bad week.

1. Daughter's live-in boyfriend walked out on Friday after four years of being the house-husband. Our six year old grandson was very attached to the now ex-boyfriend and upset that the departure happened without even a goodbye.

2. Son-in-law's employers shut down without warning leaving him in limbo, technically still employed but unpaid. On Monday they were told that until administrators were appointed nothing would change but administrators would be appointed on Wednesday. It's Friday and now they are told administrators won't be appointed until NEXT Wednesday at the earliest.

3. The long term family cat had to be put to sleep yesterday before she died in pain. She had been a family pet for the whole of the grandchildren's lives, and nearly half of our daughters' lives. They are all finding it difficult to cope with her absence. So are we.

But - the sun is shining. I won £25 on the lottery - not enough to pay the vet's bill but at least something.

That is a great deal to have thrown at you all at once. I have seen little boys have to deal with the loss of a father figure like your grandson is and it is horrible that the live in boyfriend did it that way. The work situation for your son is difficult and I hope it will resolve quickly. The loss of the furry family member is one I know, several times over. I hope the sun will smile on your family fully in time. :rose: *hug*
 
That's a lot on your plate, and being the Senior, I guess you'll be expected to be the stable pillar for your family, whom they can come to for words of comfort.
All the best.

Not just words of comfort - financial support as well...:eek:
 
Ye gods; SNOW !
(not for long, but it was definitely snowing for a while).
And this is at 264 ft below the surrounding hills.
 
The sun is shining on the calm sea. The temperature is about 9 C with little wind.

There are advantages to living by the sea. But I should get outside and wash the salt off my windows. It's obscuring my view.
 
I spent thanksgiving in my underwear. I didn't get dressed, didn't leave the apartment, didn't do much of anything but cook, eat, and watch stuff on my TV.

Living alone does have advantages. It also makes you a nudist. ;)

Glad you had a relaxing Turkey Day.
 
I know that every category has its purists. No need to start a whole new thread about it. This feels more like an isolated blurt.

I submitted a Lesbian Sex story about two straight girls who fall in love with each other. They both have sexual histories, and as they bond they discuss them. There is some dialog about blow jobs. This morning I found this comment waiting for me. It was upsetting.

I'm a lesbian. I come to this section to read erotica about two women. That's it. You have an extensive and graphic description of blow jobs in here. Why would you do that? I liked the story - real characters, well-written...but that stopped me from reading. It's also not respectful to the category, so not respectful to lesbians. You come into this category to use us for sexual gratification and then explicitly describe blow jobs. Please rethink this.

The "Best Before " date on a tinned meat pie got me warming the oven (powered by Gas, no less), and watching the TV with one eye and the timer with the other (which was tricky with these glasses). Then I decided to cook the apple pie whilst I had a warm cooker.
Then I noticed the smell of gas. :mad:
I've had to call out the 'Gas emergency' service who, of course, said they had to tell me to turn off the gas at the main inlet.
As my house is heated by a Gas boiler, the man had better turn up soon.

PS
Somewhat to my surprise the gas man comethed with remarkable speed.
He wandered about with his magic [electronic] wand and pronounced the place safe, so everything gaseous was turned back on; including the Cooker (aka 'incinerator'].
So far, so good.
:)

WTF? I share something important to me, I tell you I'm scared about something and your response is . . . nothing. We've talked about this. It's okay if you can't think of something to say. Patting my hand or, even better, a hug, a show of comfort would be a good response. I finally get up and clear my dishes and you get up and walk out of the room. I don't understand. :(
 
I feel sorry. For both of you.

Being open about feelings can be the hardest thing to do; something some people may never truly learn to do. I can only concur. Writing things down, anonymously, is easy; saying things face to face, in real life, right at that moment, is a whole different game. It is easy to make mistakes, or to overlook things. And maybe your reaction gives rise to a bigger need, more questions or comments, while already you are struggling with yourself and the other. Inside your mind. Men are strong; men don't have emotions; men don't cry. I know it's BS, but deep inside, it is hard to ignore.

The disability to show empathy doesn’t make someone bad; it may be a weakness, fear. Expecting empathy from someone isn’t bad either. Sometimes there is no right or wrong; sometimes it is just fucked up. And just sometimes it isn’t meant to be, whatever that means/implies… :rose:
Yes, I am aware of all you have said. Sometimes I come here so that I can scream/cry into the void when writing it in a journal isn't enough, so that I can be calm and sweet and reasonable when I talk to him. I will not be the woman who screams and cries at their mate in order to get a reaction and I don't think it's conducive to moving our relationship in the direction I am hoping for.

HP, if available in UK I'd recommend getting a natural gas detector. Similar to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors which you should also have. Better safe than sorry. :)
 
I'm 42 and living alone for the first time in my life.

When I go to bed at night I close the bedroom door even though I am the only one here.

Yet when I go to the bathroom I leave the door wide open.

Why do I do this?

In a word, comfort.
 
I had to re-install Windoze 7 today.
What a bloody job it is; After the sheer joy of registering and doing all the other fascinating things that the programmers (and their undoubted hoard of legal beagles), seem to insist upon, I could not install the stuff I wanted; then the penny dropped.
Would you believe 168 'updates' ?
But, I hear you cry, do the updates do the job ?
Well, not instantly. There's the problem of "do not switch off" while the things are loaded. This is followed (after yet another re-start), but the "don't touch anything until this junk's installed" (which of course is followed by another re-start.
A pox on the guys & girls at Redmond.
Growl, Gnash, :(
 


Charlottesville has been wrecked. The place is now indistinguishable from New Jersey. All the assholes who moved here to escape from the shitholes where they used to live only succeeded in creating a new shithole.

Route 29 was a lovely two-lane road passing through forested land all the way to Barracks Road. Now it's four-lanes in both directions and looks like a parking lot.

The newbies are ill-mannered and easily identifiable.





 
My previous record for masturbating to completion in a single calendar day was five times. I am pretty sure that it is been over 10 years since I set that record, and it still holds strong, but today I tied that for the first time since setting it.

Ok 3GP, I gotta ask. What inspired this amazing feat of stamina? And if it was a story here on Lit, please include a link. ;)

First, there is no are in my name.

Second, there was no one piece of anything that inspired all of that. It was multiple Parts porn, porn comics, stories, and stuff.
