You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

I loved Unorthodox, and learnt a lot in the process. It reinforced for me how lucky I was to be raised in a family that believed in letting children form their own ideas about the world without the ring fence of any religious dogma.
As for the iron, can I recommend a bit of B12 liquid to go with it? The trouble with aging is our gut's ability to process the stuff diminishes so helping it along with a drop or two under the tongue does wonders for energy levels. And staves off cognitive decline as well... It's a bit pricey - over $20 for a tiny Clinicians bottle, but nicer than the big intramuscular jab, just don't get sucked into the bigger bottle with the lipowhatevers, like I did last time - it tastes foul.

The contractors have arrived on site and require lopping off of my roses, and big pruning of my peach tree so they can paint. Hard on my heart but I complied only to turn round to see the labourer happily taking half ripe fruit off the remaining branches and looking very shocked when I told him to cut it out. No idea he was thieving, or maybe he had and was relying on the old 'no speak English' to get away with it. Not happy Hunni as you can imagine.

Never mind, coffee and cake day, and the weather looks rather nice...

What struck me about it was the awful cramped little lives they all ( but especially the women ) live, simply due to their belief system. The wasted potential must be massive, as it would be in any very restrictive religion. It shows once again that we humans really can get ourselves to believe anything at all. It does make me wonder though, if there's ever been any religion which massively restricts the entire lives of men while allowing women far more freedom - I suspect not.

Have tracked down the Clinicians B12, so may give it a try once I finish the iron.


Popeye, you're not alone - I'd definitely find that offensive too, & very devious of them to use people who may not be able to express their views and & give properly informed consent.
