Do you suffer from them? What do you do to get it to go away? I never had a headache of any kind (unless I got whacked in the head) until 3 years ago when I felt and heard a "pop" in my forehead, had an instant migraine then, went to hospital had cat scan, got a shot and to make sure it wasn't some sort of brain hemorrhage even had a spinal tap, nothing was found, but since then I have had a bunch of headaches and a few migraines, had one last night. Rose has them, she has pills for it, locks herself in a dark quiet room and she is there for the day. So thats what I do, except I steal one of her pills. What do you do to get rid of yours?

I have tried so many different diets to lose weight. I do good for a little while then I gain it all back. Finally, in July my cousin told me about the 21 Day Fix which I had heard about but figured it was just another fad but wanted to give it a try. I got my containers and thought I was going to starve until I read how the program works. I can eat more food in a day than I ever thought, Just have to make the right choices. Each color coded container has a list of foods you can eat. When put together there are so many different meals you can make and it never gets old. I can take almost any recipe and make it fit into my plan. Basically with this plan you are cuttin…

Not sure where to post this and I guess the health area seems best. On the morning of 16th Feb I wasn't feeling so good, couldn't stop vomiting and was pretty sure I had a urine infection.. so Jesse phoned his doctor and made an appointment for that afternoon. By the time he came from work to get me I could barely walk and my vision was blurry. I can't remember much from the doctors other than paramedics putting an IV in my arm and getting loaded into the back of an ambulance. The rest of that day and the day after are gone from my memory. It turns out I had something called ketoacidosis (lack of insulin in my body so my body produced excess ketones making my blood acidic…

The Great Tea Debate 1 2
by Squirrel- 2 followers
- 26 replies
- 2.4k views
I realise this could be a very Brit centred discussion but will give it a go anyway. I was making myself a brew at work last week and the girl who does the accounts was shocked when I put the milk in after I had brewed the tea. She was convinced I was burning the tea by pouring boiling water onto the bag. I believe that the water needs to be boiling to help the tea flavours diffuse. Having milk in the cup already is going to dull this effect making the tea weaker and tougher to gauge when you have brewed the tea to the right colour. Further to this I also avoid squeezing the tea bag as that adds a touch of extra bitterness to a nice un-squeezed bag brew. …

I don’t know your feelings on pie but I find it to be the perfect dessert. First of all there are many kinds of pie, fruit, cream, meat, pot, even pizza pie! Is quiche a pie? I think so! Also pies are portable, easy to make, a pie will feed all your friends, most go well with ice cream and you can even eat a slice with just your hand! I meant to do this before or soon after the new year but it slipped my mind so with out further adieu here are my pie rankings for 2014. 1. Apple - hard to de-throne the King. 2. Coconut Cream - loved it since a kid. 3. Pumpkin - pie LV, not latte. 4. Pecan - warm with some ice cream. 5. Black Bottom - Surprise! Chocolate 6. Pizza pie - fro…

Everyday is a struggle to eat or eating handfuls of pain killers and hoping this fixes all that. Not 100% sure what to expect when all done, but hoping all is good.

I had an impromptu over-nighter on Golden Ears over the weekend and it got me motivated to go out again. I've had this route planned for awhile now. Silverhope River Valley Trails, it's actually part of the TCT (Trans Canada Trail). I was hoping to record this trip, but since my move I've been unable to locate my camera equipment. (And my sub-par quality cell phone pics aren't looking too good so far) I'll be starting (8/28) in Hope BC after breakfast at Rolly's Restaurant, (if you ever drive by Hope go there and order the fruit waffles), ending at the Chilliwack Lake Campground FSR entrance (9/01). There are a few lakes along the way I'll be hiking to (Eaton &am…

There's almost non bitterness at all, and just a hint of carbonation, just sweet and easy to drink, absolutel…

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
