I hate bullies. They`re idiots with no personality and mind of their own. People whom does whatever their friends do and are too afraid to speak up. They`re primitive.People whom live through others. People that are so messed up that there`s no empathy left in them. These are the people that are going to loose in the end. They don`t have anything interesting to offer the world. They`ll never be able to create something great or do anything important to be cherished and remembered for.. unless they change. Some does. Others doesn`t…
I used to eat a lot of bread, a lot of dairy products and quite often fast food as well. Here in Norway most people eat and drink bread and milk for breakfast, for lunch, for supper and mostly dinner containing a lot of milk as well. That`s the kind of food my parents served me from quite an early age. I`ve been depressed several times. I`ve felt like a looser at school, not being able to consentrate, feeling unmotivated and tired all the time. Eventually I was diagnosed with ADHD. For about 5 years ago I started to get problems with my stomach. I thought it would pass and didn`t do anything about it. I did not take my problems seriously before 2009, but back then they couldn`t find anything wrong from my blood sample. The problems continued and in March this year I decided to take another blood sample, suspecting that my body could have problems processing proteines from milk and/or gluten. My milk suspicions was confirmed and my doctor adviced me to stay away from milk and dairy products in general.
That`s what I`ve done (or at least tried to do). I did expect it to be hard, but not quite as hard as it turned out to be. Even some of the products you expect not to contain milk proteine does in fact contain it and the list over ingredients are often extremely vague and confusing. I don`t know about your country, but here there definately aren`t strict enough rules regarding allergy marking on groceries. A lot of grocery may contain only E numbers and they may have origins from animal sources, and customers will have no idea, unless they go on the internet and check all the E numbers they can come across. If I want to go to a cafe or something the person often tell me that he or she don`t know if the food I ask about contain milk or not. That`s just not good enough. Some people can die even from a small amount of milk. Many people aren`t even aware of that fact. They think nuts are the only dangerous allergy. Well, I wouldn`t die, but it would affect me physically and mentally as well if there was milk in the food. One portion of cowmilk porridge and my body feels completely exhausted or I get a stomach in PAIN!
I recently learned that my body has been attacked by so called “hidden” milk proteine without me knowing it. I was told by the doctor the same day she gave me my diagnosis that it would take some time for my body to heal after struggling to process milk proteines for so long. Well, I wanted it to heal so I avoided all dairy products. I just didn`t know about the “hidden” ones. I didn`t know those strange names they went by… Now I guess it will take even longer for it to heal properly (because of the lack of allergy information) My will is strong and I want to get my body back on track and won`t give up. It will require a lot of hard work on my end, a lot of awareness and of course a lot of money. I will send an application for support money, but I have been told that I shouldn`t expect much from it. Most people in my shoes won`t be heard. Why? “Because you won`t die from milk- or gluten proteine. You only experience stomach aches, digestive problems, depressions and other mental illnesses. You can live that way. we don`t care” That seems to be the general thought here in Norway and it`s very upsetting. If I want support money I have to go through a fight…
In the mean time I will continue buying alternatives to milk, buy the cleanest food I come across, make my own food and do a lot of reading concerning the subject… I don`t need dairy products. People seems to think you can`t even make a cake without milk coming from a cow. How ignorant they are. Of course we can. I`ve made rice porridge using coconut milk and rice milk. The taste is a bit different of course, but still good. I`ve made cacao with almond milk and it`s delicious. A perfectly tasting brownie… That`s some of it… It`s possible to make a pizza without the cheeze.
Use your imagination! 😀 I don`t eat a lot of sugar either. That`s a choise. Well, I`ve written enough. Just wanted to share my thoughts and I`m glad you people care about your health and eat the kind of food you feel is right for you, despite of the general believe (milk being a necessary part of your diet etc, which is bullshit anyways)Are the pieces allready painted or should the members entering this raffle include which colors we like etc in the e-mail?

Howdy Stranger!! :hi: 😀
Hi Mi! 🙂 Haven`t heard from you in a while. Been busy lately?
I experience nausea, dizziness, drowsiness and frustration after another sleepless night. I feel like I`m drugged, but I need to stay awake as I desperately want (and need) to change my sleep pattern. WHINE!
Wow! A snake as a pet! 😀 That`s pretty cool. What a cool idea using him as an inspiration for your PYO. The patterns and colours inspired by your stylish pet seems to have resulted in an intriguing and unusual looking dragon!
I need to WHINE!!!
I experience problems with my iPod Classic. When I connect it to my computer the iPod itself shows in iTunes, but it`s no longer possible to transfer new songs to my iPod, nor listen to music added previously. Luckily I can still listen to the songs on my iPod Hi Fi, but it sucks that I`m not able to transfer new songs from my computer anymore… I guess the only thing left to do is to restore it, but in the prosess I`ll lose all the songs… I have 3658 songs on that iPod… 🙁 If I restore it and it still doesn`t work I need a new one and they`re soo expensive…I`ve ordered Christmas presents for my boyfriend and a friend of mine from English amazon and Ebay. It seems to take the sellers forever to send them. They know that Christmas Eve is near and that it takes a little longer to ship to Norway… Then why the hell can`t they just send the items??? :shout:
My boyfriend doesn`t have the possibility to spend time with me during Christmas. This is an extremely busy month for him. He have to work, work, work and work some more. He lives about a 7 hours long drive away from me, which makes everything so complicated. I tend to feel sad whenever I spend time with friends and familymembers in happy relationships, because they seem to have the possibility to spend time with each other whenever they feel like it. I look at them and I envy the closeness they experience regularly. They don`t have to consider money etc. all the time and they don`t have to feel this longing and frustration… Christmas is special and I want to spend at least some of it it with my boyfriend, but the circumstances won`t let me and this makes me upset.. and angry! 😥
Congratulations! 😀 I forgot to enter this raffle. I hate myself for forgetting about the raffle. The dragon is awesome and I first saw it after the winner was picked… 😥
Congrats and enjoy your dragon, which definitely is something out of the ordinary! 😀 I`ve looked at the photos a couple of times and I think I like him better now than I did the first time I saw them… He can be a bit confusing for the eye some times, mainly because of the pattern on his chest… Personally I would prefer the chest to be calmer. Then he would probably look better in my opinion and my eyes would be more relaxed while looking at him…
A mint Windstone is no longer mint… I was just going to re-organize how the dragons on a certain shelf was placed and while removing one dragon from the shelf I accidently hit the other with it and the result is 2 black spots on the tail. Luckily the rubs are quite small, but it`s still frustrating… It`s soo hard to find perfect dragons like this dragon used to be… 🙁
