Nice People Thread Part 9 - and so it continues

I feel really dim, but I have a simple problem I cannot work out.

My desk (it was dh's mothers) sits in the corner of the sitting room, it has quite a heavy presence, and I'd prefer it 'cut the corner' rather than be square on to the wall, as ATM because we have too much furniture squeezed in, everything feels like a furniture show room.

On the top of it sit a little group of books, not right at the back, just behind half way, but when I tried it on the slant before I dusted the top and the books all went heater shelter down the gap at the back and were lost til I could get DH to reach behind than he moved the desk back .

It does leave quite big corner gap behind .......would other np leave it flat against the wall?

Not at all. Don't implicate the more reserved women in your stories of the uninhibited ones. No value judgement implied.

If I really wanted it slanting across the corner I would slant it across the corner and get a small bookcase to put on top of it - one with a back, obviously, or to which a back could easily be added, to stop the books falling off.

What were you eating when you were feeling really great a little while ago?



Thanks Spirit!

Potatoes. Pretty Just potatoes really that week, the week I danced till I keeled over. I got told off for that too by the way, I was saying how fabulous it was to feel like that and how it is possible for me to feel like that....and I was just told I was a risk to myself and jeopardising my health pfft. One evening of dancing in my kitchen . Not much in the way of living dangerously. I haven't even had a glass of wine for god knows how long, let alone......fruit with skin on it.

If I keep eating just potatoes the risk is I will become intolerant to potatoes. . Besides it being pretty boring.

One of the big things is they don't think I should be trying to digest fibre at all now, so they want me to eat white carbs, like white bread. This is not a good result, I know I cannot eat that stuff, I have told them it has other bad impacts (for a start they are totally ignoring that I am at least close to an insulin resistance issue now).

I've done it, but I'm coming*, puffy, aching and grumpy (I actually don't think the grumpy is the fault of the bread... My menstrual cycle is all over the place, was early last time, so thought might do the same this time, I never quite know.....its been just over four and a half weeks......so might be soon, might not be.....messing with my pcos isn't going to help, lol..)


* obvious typo. No idea what I was thinking then.......I'm lots of things but not that. Sadly.

I love potatoes ... those ones that go floury ... used to get those at school dinners. Now I buy cheapest spuds and they aren't like that.

Its ok . I think its funny, any offence is on behalf of nice ladies, not the women like me. . We don't mind.

I don't dislike potatoes, I just don't eat them very often. I like both floury and waxy potatoes, in the right place....but not every day!

This team are also really opposed to my fasting (which I have also found really helps me, the eat nothing days are the least pain days on things nothing to do with anything to do with eating.).


Oh, and I have a rosacea flare again today. .
