Oh Calli, I'm so glad you found some useful information. It's just incensical (is too a word) that people willingly, eagerly do that sort of thing to other people to make a buck. Take cousin-doctor down, and hard.
Jars, my sympathies on your loss. I'm so sorry.
Yikes, hope you start feeling better ita.
ita, I'm sorry you're so sore today. But surely the glow of accomplishment cushions at least some of the worst of it? Best of luck on averting the rest as best you can. And I did say congratulations, right?
Best of luck Calli, that sounds like a sucky situation. I have a basic theory about MLM schemes. If the product is really that good, then you don't need to market it that way.
Thanks for the info and support, folks. It really helps to be able to discuss this stuff here.
I hope the soreness passes quickly, ita.
You know, as long as the body pain doesn't trigger headaches (it's my mission for the day to avoid that), it's a welcome change from before. Which sounds all kind of ill, perhaps, but "at least it's not a migraine" is a big deal for me.

ita! I saw people congratulating you in my skippings, so I looked a bit back. Now I have this urge to call you and shout "khagora khooma!"¹ in celebration. You're amazing.
¹ Hebrew for "brown belt"

I'm taking a sick day today.
YAY. And of course body pain that you chose is better than head pain that just shows up.
What Jesse said, ita.
I have to go to the dentist this morning, for a cleaning. I wish I didn't.
Now I have this urge to call you and shout "khagora khooma!"¹ in celebration. You're amazing.
Oh! I remember when you taught me that phrase and I kept forgetting it. Now I want to shout "khagora khooma, mother fuckers!" but it seems beyond rude to morph something from someone as nice as Nilly into profanity.
But I already called my mother and used a great deal of swearing to convey my feelings on this belt. I'm aggressively relieved.
And grateful for everyone's support--both at the centre and here.
