My new copy of Rolling Stone arrived a few days ago.
It featured a full page photo of Ms. Smith.

I just watched Contagion. It was great



In other news, I grew a lot of chard in my garden this year. It was my intention to eat the leaves, but honestly I don't like them. They taste too much like cooked spinach.



So instead, I eat the stems. Baked, with cheese and breadcrumbs - wow - they were delicious.

I wish I knew what it was about my personality that repels people so much.

Maybe it's just me in general. It's happened far too often now to just be coincidence.

Come on people, now. Free for all. Tell me what you dislike about me. I'm a big girl. I can take it.

I feel the same way about people but then I remember that if people don't like me for who I am, well then those aren't really the people I want to be around anyway, and try not to dwell on it. Easier said than done. Really though, it's not you - it's them.

Anyone have any remedies for migraines? I've been having them sporadically for the past 7 years but never gone to the doctor (probably should have) because they were usually only occurring when it was *ahem* that time of the month. It had been over a year since the last one I had, and then I randomly had a horrible one last night and I have no clue what triggered it since it's NOT the usual time I would get them.... I slept it off but I'm still feeling a bit odd today.

Bee - here's my advice. F*ck 'em. You know, not literally.

I don't want to alarm you, but too many people claim they have migraines and then act like it's no big deal. Go to the doctor.

If they are really migraines, your doctor can provide the best medication to deal with the pain.

If the headaches are normal headaches, they may send you home with nothing other than instructions to drink more water, get more sleep and spend less time on the computer.

But - there is always a possibility that they are not migraines and that they are not regular headaches cause by fatigue, dehydration or stress -

I know two people, both co-workers (at different jobs) who complained of headaches over the years and who were eventually found to have cancerous tumors. One of them, the man, literally was at his desk one day and suddenly could not speak or stand! He had to bang on the wall to get the attention of another employee who called 911 for him. The other one, a lady, turned out to have a tumor on her optic nerve that required months of radiation which left huge burns on her neck and arms.

And to everyone - I am sorry if you've been taught or have conditioned yourself to believe that headaches are "normal". They are not normal. They are a strong warning sign of a problem with your body. Don't ignore them. Don't take Tylenol, Excedrin, Bayer, Aleve, Advil or any other pills on a regular basis for headaches, because all you're doing is masking the cause of your symptoms. Both of these individuals could have caught their tumors earlier if they had seen a doctor to get to the cause of their supposed "migraines".

Go to the doctor and find out why you have headaches. If it's eye strain, thirst, sleep deprivation - all of these can and should be fixed without pills that slowly destroy your liver and cause other health problems later in life.

Headaches are not normal, and should not be tolerated, masked or ignored.
