Congratulations, askye.

Yay! When do you start, Skye?

Congrats, Skye!

Yay, Skye! Good for you!

I'm not sure when I start. I think in 2 weeks. That's what was indicated at the interview but I'miss going to ask more tomorrow. Also about dress code I may need different shoes.

The legal thing is decidedly not resolved...though I am pretty proud of myself for how I am dealing with it.

I doubt the party of the first part could find me here, but just for added security, I changed my Board name.

After the fact, I apologize for the similarity to our dear friend from Oz. No one would confuse us, I'm sure. Still.

Hopefully, it will only be temporary.

Hey, in totally other news...I'm not sure if I mentioned it here, but I've been dealing with a really painful case of 'trigger thumb' for the last 6 months. For the first 3, I thought it was arthritis. When I figured it out, I began wearing a brace that sort of helped.

At least, I stopped rolling over on it at night and freaking myself out when it got stuck from bumping the thumb in any way.

Flash forward to about two weeks ago, when I started taking a heaping teaspoon of turmeric with a little ground pepper in water every morning.

I wish I had before and after photos for you, but it is like a miracle. It's not 100% fixed, but boy howdy, I'm pleased. I've stopped wearing the brace during the day at all AND my rotator cuff injury hurts less as well.

I'm not advocating for woowoo, but a friend who is totally NOT in that camp told me that it helped her arthritic joints dramatically, so I figured it was worth a try.

I'm so grateful for the tip...and for the lack of constant pain.

Congrats, Skye!

erika, I can't stand to watch the Kardashians for long enough to form an opinion, beyond "oh lord no".

You deserve a miracle, if you can stand to drink that! Seriously, there's been some research into using turmeric for controlling inflammation, so I can believe it.

I had a friend who swore she cured her carpal tunnel with turmeric and yucca.

if you can stand to drink that

I slug it down so fast, I really don't have the chance to taste anything!

Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. Much love to you and the family.

Congratulations on good job news for Andi and Askye!

ION, I am phoneless until tomorrow and I'm ready to tear my hair out. It's my timekeeper, my Fitbit synch, my calendar, my Pokemon Go! Dying, I tell you, dying of first world problems. At least Verizon is replacing it at no charge even though it was a month out of warranty. I'm letting that console me for the inconvenience.

beekaytee, my brother swears by turmeric. I may just have to try that for myself. I've started having heel problems even with stretching it out. I'm curious, though; what's the ground pepper supposed to do (other than possibly ameliorate the flavor of the turmeric.)
