sometimes it's a tightwire act and you're just hoping a gust of wind doesn't come along once you've mastered not falling off the rope.


I distracted myself with cleaning and laundry. So far, so good.
Honeydipped,

What a powerful story. I am glad that you are stitching yourself back together. It is a long journey...

We are here for you.

I hope everyone is having a better day today.mer9tjfvMsYLP69c

I was wondering if anyone else has had the problem of dealing with finding the right medication(s) for their problems. I am starting a new medication again, sigh... . It must be about the 20th or so med I have tried and so many combinations over the years. I have some medical issues because years of lithium use doctors believe led to my kidneys and liver not functioning at 100%. Most of the newer medications I can not take for those reasons. I am just tired of playing medication roulette. Which is why I often just forego any and deal with things myself until I can't anymore. They all have so many side effects and you have to wait for weeks to see if they are having any effect. I'm not sure it's worth even trying anymore. I really have no idea why I am putting this here, maybe I am just tired and still recovering from minor surgery. It's just nice to know you are not alone sometimes.


GillianLeeeza,

Like you, I have damaged kidneys from chemotherapy. I try to work things out on my own. You are not alone. I just got off several meds and really don't want to go back. I wish you the best!

hopefully it is. how you doing today?


Better, but shaky. It all seems tenuous. Thanks, for asking
I am having a bad day. I guess the emotional scars aren't as well healed as I thought.

Let tomorrow be better
Buz,

Sorry but I am going to disagree with your assertion. If a married man cheats with a single woman who is unaware that he is married, there is only one cheater.

While I agree most "poll" you see on tv are largely meaningless in terms of accuracy, there are surveys that can be quite accurate. There is a high variance in the quality and skills of pollsters / survey preparers. It takes a lot of work to design a survey that takes bias out (intended or not). One easy method of bias reduction on the respondents side is to ask the same question in different ways with different responses. In some respects, you get what you pay for. Observational data ismore reliable, but to be most effective takes a lot of data points. Even then, there is a margin of error. Scientists strive to minimize the variables to provide the best accuracy. If observing on the street, you need a large timeframe for observation to reduce variants (weather, day of the week, special event, etc). None of us can predict the future with 100% certanty. No amount of data, analysis, or interpretation can provide this.
Scofflaw

"Scofflaw" was the winning entry of a nationwide competition to create a new word for "the lawless drinker," with a prize of $200 in gold, sponsored by Delcevare King, a banker and enthusiastic supporter of Prohibition, in 1923."
I have some expertise on the accuracy of polls as compared to observational data (no expertise on cheating however - I am a serial monagamist). One of the last studies I did was comparing self reported data (Poll) against observational data. This was apples to apples comparison. We found that there was statistically significant difference between the two. The n value of the poll was ~14,000 people and the number of observational data points was ~90,000.

What you will often find with poll data is two types of bias'. The first is poling bias or how the question is phrased. This is often seen in political polling. Another common bias is what the "pollee" wishes to project. This is seen even with anonymous polls (seems strange but is true). Experts here believe that there is an inherent bias of the "pollee" to present answers that make them feel better about themselves (in the case of a poll around favorability regarding their personality or actions). Conversely, the "pollee" may report higher values than the actual results on issues they find annoying, detrimental or distasteful.

In essence, both Buz and Noll are correct. We have insufficient data to form a "defendable" conclusion. For instance, when a married man or woman has an affair with a single man or woman, are both cheating? One is single after all. When we have no common set of definitions, it is impossible to have comparative data.

One would expect that the instances of cheating between men and women to be roughly eqivelant. However, proving this as an assertion would be very difficult.

My wife is ill. If she is up for it, steak, rice and asparagus. If she is still feeling poorly, I will have leftovers.

the other day, i had a dr apt, had to go do some labs, we went to the comic store and then to the grocery store and i made it through the whole thing (when we got home, i DID face plant on the couch, but still...) felt like a victory. my head space has been better since than. that said, yeah, i admit to being vain enough to know that i am (or was) pretty. i'm about 20 lbs underweight right now and when you're 5'1" that's a lot. things just hang on me. i don't feel pretty or sexy. i'm working through that, but... *shrugs*

oh, and screw you lol - i am not picking a intermediate goal. look for me in the octogon in 2018. i am gonna be fierce! realistically, i'll be happy to do a walking mile and not be out of breath. baby steps. been able to help out around the house, tho, and my girl's taken note - it's a good feeling, especially since she's been doing sooo much lately. smile


Congrats on the trip without stops. That is an accomplishment and a victory!

No worries about holding to your goals. I only suggested what works for me. I am goal oriented and want to see some progress before I am on the soccer pitch. You follow your path.

Your girl seems pretty astute; treasure her.

My favorite books right now are Hawkeye and Detective (Batman) comics. smile my goal is a little less sane. i want to compete in MMA competitions. sadly, i was getting there when all this crap started. currently, my goal is to go shopping with my girl at Target and not have to sit down in the starbucks lounge halfway through. that, and to be able to wear what i used to wear without it looking baggy on me silly *hugs* thanks for the love :)


I know the, "I need to sit for a few." I have done it for about a year and a half. It sucks, because that is not the way it was. I lost 30 lbs and I was at the low end of the BMI "Normal" range to start. Now I am at the underweight end. I am going to buy some pants with a smaller waistline to feel a bit more normal. I also can't properly regulate my body temperature so I end up wearing 3-4 layers of clothes when everyone else is in their t-shirts. That hides how skinny I've gotten (skinny, not in a good way). You are not alone and I am on your side.

Just a thought, don't give up on your MMA dream. But maybe pick an intermediate goal or two that measures your progress? The hike isn't my end goal, just a measuring point on the way to playing competetive soccer again against the 20 year olds. An earlier goal of mine was being able to shop, cook and clean up after the meal. I couldn't do that six months ago. Now I do it daily. It was so good for my mental state to be achieve this, that I brightened up such that people noticed.

Keep strong, I want to see you spar.
