- We need new kitceh pipes, and the new set-up won't allow for a countertop filter (We'd been using Puritech). Since we have to buy a new one anyone, I want one that filters out the pharmeceuticals. A few things I've read say only reverse osmosis can...
- Can anyone recommend something for my sensitive mid-life skin? I've used Aubrey Organics for years, but they seem to have discontinued it. Something I can buy, not make -- I'm a bit ovewhelmed at the moment.
- This is a poem of gratitude about the simple pleasures of life. Jane Kenyon died several years ago of cancer.OtherwiseJane KenyonI got out of bed on two strong legs. It might have been otherwise. I ate cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless peach. It...
- Great poem by Stephanie Brown, from Allegory of the Supermarket. I could only find the first few stanzas online. If anyone can find the whole poem, it has some wonderful lines.Mommy is a Scary NarcissistC'mon, I shouldn't need to mention ...
- When I joined this group, I thought only people in the group could see posts. Now that I realize my posts come up every time someone googles Revici or certain famous poets, I want to delete everything I've written about sex, drugs, shame, or...
- So after having a fine sex life for years after diagnosis, I am now being forced to change/curtail much of my pleasure. And I'm sad and angry. I've reached the stage in perimenopause where I spot/bleed constantly, esp. with any contractions (lie...
- We need to replace our kitchen counters. I was planning on granite, but now I read it releases radon. THe two green alternatives I found are rediculously expensive ($40-$50 a ft.) Any ideas?
- There is a wonderful poem by Wendy Cope, called Health Scare, that I want to share with the group but wasn't able to find online. It's from her new book Family Values. Maybe someone better at the internet could find it. She writes lite verse, but...
- I am bummed. I'd waited months to get an apt. with a top liver guy at Mt. Sinai. He's supposed to know about all the new TX's and has access to a Fibroscan. My plan was to talk to him, get the scan, and figure out if I can wait for the new drugs, or...
- I actually much prefer Stephen Mitchell's translation, but this is what I could find online.THE FOURTH DUINO ELEGY by Rainer Maria RilkeO Trees of Life,when does your winter fall?Strangers to instinct,we lack the focus andthe harmony which guidethe...
- I don't know if any of you remember the poems I posted awhile back by Rynn Williams. One was definitely about HVC; the other one was that or HIV. I just read tonight that she killed herself. (Early reports of her death said "an accident". )The...
- This is an offshoot of the stigma thread. It seems that most people posting have shame about iv drug use rather than hcv. Is that true? Is this disease shameful to people who got it from a dentist or blood transfusion or who don't know how?...
- Any ideas for good ice pop recipes? I got metal molds this year, so no BPA. Now I want something intersting to freeze in them. I do half water/half oj for the kids. I did pomegranate/blueberry (also cut with a lot of water) for myself last year, but...
- Does anyone have a suggestion for Vit D in pill form? I take the Biotics drops but my husband prefers pills.
- I was such a huge fan of his in my teens and early 20's. Played VU and Nico every morning for a whole year to start my day. Now I read about his liver transplant and that he credits Tai Chi with his recovery from the surgery. He even made a New Age...
