Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I really, really need to reduce inflammation in my body. Turmeric, eh? Must research.
In totally shallow news, I must share my joy that Cagney has almost calmly lasted through 5 human therapy sessions in a row. I can't even say how happy this makes me.
I'm not going to count any unhatched poultry but I suddenly have hope I've not had in 15 months.
Bless the little bugger.

Stephan, my nutritionist friend says to avoid food from the nightshade family (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant) because they promote inflammation.

I've heard that too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I have potassium deficiency muscle cramps, I can plow through 4 of the little cans in a six-pack before I taste the weird juice-in-a-can metalic taste.
Huh. Does the taste mean you have enough potassium? Because I always taste that, which is why I don't drink V8 or tomato juice from the cans anymore. I do like V8 juice, though.

I've heard that too, but I think (IANAD) it varies with the person. I definitely get a mild inflammation response from eating potatoes; I can feel it happening in my face. My face feels hot and swollen and my sinuses slam shut. But I have no problems with tomatoes or peppers. I don't eat eggplant.
Fish oil is supposed to reduce inflammation too.

Raw tomatoes either taste metallic or are far too bitter or acidic. Peppers cause my lungs to seize up. Eggplant is icky. Potatoes are of the gods and I would weep greatly if they were denied me.

I love a good raw tomato. A little salt, slurp it down. Gonna go have a potato now. With an antihistamine chaser.

I'm almost better except for my nearly complete lack of sleep this week. Every time I try to sleep I end up having a coughing fit. So, now I need to get a weeks worth of cleaning and prepping for our Father's Day gathering done in the next three days.

My eyes were still so swollen this morning that I couldn't apply liquid liner.

What Vortex said. Jilli, I meant to say, you are most certainly not an imposter.
