Thank you to everyone who pointed out Brokeback to the Future to me - glorious!!!


I was seeing the gynecologist this morning...stepped through the door at 0800, left at 0821 and still felt well-handled. Everything's alright, and against my menstruation pain, he gave me the tip to eat an aspirin a day for the five days before it. My, why didn't anyone tell me this in the last 20 years??

I also had the wonderful experience that for the first time in some years, someone took my blood pressure and said "it's alright" ! It is still too high, but not as high as it was because I finally started acting against it.

Measures: drink only water; eat much more raw food than in the past; eat more bio products and use less add-ons in cooked food; avoid milk and yoghurt; use more olive oil; let hubby use cupping set to draw some blood once a week.

Results: absolutely no taste for coffee anymore (which I used to drink loads of); blood pressure went down, especially the diastolic value; almost no heartburn anymore; much better digestion (no more bouts of diarrhea for which no real food allergy could be found but which might be caused by some incompatibilities).

This is a big relief, and I want to proceed like this. If I lose weight as a side effect, that's great. But my focus is the blood pressure, because active dieting never lead anywhere (too much loaded with memories of childhood frustration and maternal manipulation).

it actually was - and i'm so proud of myself the way i handled all the bigamy questions. i took advice from Djinn's story "man and man and wife"--i just answered questions, smiled mildly, and let her go on with her checklist. i didn't volunteer information, i sounded confident, and absolutely nothing happened to put me in a bad frame of mind :-D
