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- 1 follower
- 26 replies
- 2.5k 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…

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…

227Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #169 (Mar 24-30) Angel Face dir. Otto Preminger/1952/1h31m Angel Face is a film noir starring Robert Mitchum as ambulance driver Frank Jessup who, after responding to a call at the posh Tremayne estate, meets the manipulative femme-fatale daughter of the family, Diane (Jean Simmons). After becoming a driver for the family the parents are soon killed in a car accident with Diane being the sole heir. The plot for this is fairly straightforward and predictable for the most part (that ending however really shocked me with how suddenly violent it is) but the two lead performances and the prevailing atmosphere of nihilistic cynicism really make this worth watching. There's a real sense of sad desperation in Mitchum's performance as he can see the trap he's willingly walking into but he just can't help himself, with Simmons excellent as the spider at the centre of the web. The direction isn't flashy, for the most part it's quite unobtrusive, but it does make the house feel more claustrophobic as the film progresses, making us feel trapped alongside Frank and Diane. 8/10 Gentlemen of Nerve dir. Charlie Chaplin/1914/15m This early Chaplin short is set at an automobile race, with Chaplin, credited as playing Mr. Wow-Wow, causing his usual chaos alongside his partner Mr. Walrus (Mack Swain). He flirts with a woman (Mabel Normand, his co-star for many early films before moving studios and starting a partnership with Edna Purviance), gets in a fight with a policeman, and finds several new ways of falling on his *ss. This could be confused with any number of his films from this period if it wasn't for the setting of a race track. Watching these old-timey cars in action was genuinely thrilling because there are little to no health and safety precautions that I could see. Aside from that this is fairly standard fare from the Chaplin of this period. 5/10 Paris Blues dir. Martin Ritt/1961/1h38m Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier star as Ram and Eddie, American jazz musicians living and working in Paris who meet and fall in love with a pair of tourists, Lillian and Connie (Joanne Woodward, Diahann Carroll), and must soon make the decision between staying in Paris or going home to America. In terms of tone and atmosphere this is one of the coolest films I've ever seen. There's some really immersive location shooting that plunges you into the counterculture world of the jazz scene, a brilliant soundtrack, and Newman and Poitier being two of the most handsome and charismatic men you've ever seen. There's even a cameo from Louis Armstrong as Wild Man Moore who just lights up the screen whenever he appears. I feel like the story hints at something more but doesn't commit in the end when it comes to the relationships. At first it seems like Ram would end up with Connie, who is Black, saying in their first flirtatious meeting that all white women look the same to him, but eventually she ends up with Eddie and Ram hooks up with Lillian. There are also scenes between Eddie and Connie where he explains that the reason he doesn't want to go back to America is because he doesn't feel welcome there as a Black man, but again this is underdeveloped. If the film committed to actually exploring these things then I think it would be even better, but as it is this is still great. 8.5/10 Woman of the Hour dir. Anna Kendrick/2023/1h34m Watched on the strength of @djw180's review, this film is based on the true story of an aspiring actress, Sheryl (Kendrick, who also directs), who appeared on The Dating Game where one of her potential suitors is a serial killer, Rodney Alcala (Daniel Zovatto). One of my favourite things about this film is the non linear structure. The film takes place during the shooting of the show with flashbacks showing us Rodney's past crimes, escalating the tension and sense of danger. Zovatto gives a really strong performance as the killer, brimming with charisma and charm but the flashbacks give us the context to see the malice and threat behind every word. Kendrick is also very good even though she spends most of the film sat in a chair on the set of the show. What lets this film down somewhat is that it's too funny at times, feeling almost like a comedy, especially at the start. This kind of undercuts some of the tension of the film, and feels like Kendrick using her roots and experience in comedy as a crutch in what is her first film as director. I think if she showed a bit more confidence in her abilities as a filmmaker and played this straighter then this would be an even better thriller. 7/10 Koyaanisqatsi dir. Godfrey Reggio/1982/1h26m Classed as a documentary, Koyaanisqatsi - a Hopi language word that means life out of balance - is more of an experience than a film. With no narrative or dialogue the whole thing is a visual poem that seems to chart the progress of humanity from our cave dwelling days up to the contemporaneous modern world of New York City. We start with a rocket taking off, then cave paintings. For half an hour we see the natural world, no trace of human life. Then explosions, metal, machinery. Man is here. New York is overwhelming. Footage sped up so the mass of humanity flows like blood through the streets. There's a moment in all of this where we slow down and focus on the faces of strangers in the street. Shots almost like portraits, putting a face to this world. All of this set to an incredible score by Philip Glass. A modern Man With a Movie Camera, this shows how film can be used to tell a story and elicit emotion in unconventional ways and is honestly one of the best films I've seen in a long time. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling dir. Richard Pryor/1986/1h37m Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling is the sole directorial effort from one of, if not the greatest stand up comedian of all time, Richard Pryor. It is a deeply personal and autobiographical film (though he says it isn't) in which he plays a world famous comedian who sees his life flash before his eyes as he lies in a hospital bed, close to death after setting himself on fire during a crack binge. His soul leaves his body and, after being shocked and disgusted with what he's done to himself, travels back through his past, all the way from his childhood where he was raised in a brothel, through to his worldwide fame and total breakdown, to see where it all went wrong. Like his stand up routines this is, for the most part, painfully honest, raw like an open wound, and criminally funny. Pryor, as good as he is at comedy, is almost as good at drama- see also his performance in Blue Collar where he is every bit Harvey Keitel's equal - and there are some really heart wrenching scenes here. The ending where he gives a eulogy to Jo Jo, putting all the pain of his past to rest, was really powerful while also being really funny. There are times when it feels a bit safe and conventional, like he's holding back a bit, but this is a must watch if you're a fan of Pryor. 8.5/10 Return to the Edge of the World dir. Michael Powell/1978/24m (no trailer for this, so here's one for the original film) This short documentary is the last film from one of the greatest filmmakers in British history, Michael Powell (his film Peeping Tom, released the same year as Psycho, is, in my opinion, a better and more shocking slasher film than Hitchcock's classic). Here he returns to the island of Foula, in the Shetlands off the Scottish coast, where he filmed his breakout film The Edge of the World in 1936. That film was based on a true story of an island with an aging population and the young folk all gone off to the mainland that had to evacuate and leave their way of life behind. Here he finds the local community still going strong, with a lot of the film being about them rather then reminiscing about the past. Also taking the trip with Powell is the lead actor from the original film, John Laurie (anyone of a certain age in the UK will recognise him as Private Frazer from Dad's Army and his iconic catchphrase "we're dooooooomed"). He is a wonderfully warm presence with a voice I could listen to all day. This makes for a beautiful but bittersweet bookend for Powell's career. 7/10- 1

Delicious (2025) dir Nele Mueller-Stöfen A drama / thriller that could also be classed as mild horror. It's a reasonably original story which, judging by IMDB reviews, a lot of people just did not understand or reacted badly to what they saw as a political message they disagree with. I don't think it really had a political message. It just made use of very clear, obvious contrasts between how wealthy and not-wealthy people live. The basic plot is a middle class, German, stereotypical family (Mum, Dad, Son & Daughter) are on holiday in a villa in the south of France. Following an incident on the way home from a visit to a hotel restaurant they end up taking in a young Spanish woman, Theodora, to cook and clean for them. You can tell from the start that there is going to be more to the story that what you can see at first. You know Theodora and her boyfriend engineered the situation and it's related to things that happened in the hotel. And it's also probably related to protests going on in Marseilles that we see at the start of the film, about the cost of living for those on low paid jobs like waitresses, maids, porters etc. It has hints of films like The Killing of a Sacred Deer in that its about a young person working their way into the lives of the members of a wealthier family, and it clearly is going to end badly for some of them. The family have their issues and are not quite the ideal happy family they appear to be. It's well made, decent acting from Valerie Pachner (Esther, the mother) and Carla Diaz (Theodora). There's some nice cinematography; wide shots almost symmetric around one of the characters, sea and landscapes from unusual angles, etc. It has some good music too, a mix of classical and modern. A couple of plot elements are a little too unsubtle or implausible. I'm also not quite sure whether there was supposed to be a supernatural element to it or if certain things we see were just in a character's imagination. I enjoyed it and think it's well worth watching. 8 / 10- 1
