@ Gal - a woodshop.. lol! I'm in Berlin hun, gigantic city full of absolutly industrial lifestyles. These people have no need for wood! People living in old-Berlin flats with coalheating are living in A) the artist quarters or B) in the shabby rundown backstreet "little istanbuls" (little istanbul = semi-mean name for the places in Berlin with the majority of people being from Turkey, shops advertising in turkish or arbian only etc etc), I live in the latter and people who are not turkish and/or immigrants living in such conditions are what in 19th century London were the poor workingclass folks - just with TV's (also I don't have a TV..but internet!). <snip> Sorry to hear that, I hope that your situation improves soon

Or, as the joke goes, "What is the 3rd largest city of Turkey? - Berlin-Kreuzberg!" By the way Kitty - I'm not beyond offering a ride and transportation with my car for a fellow chaosite every now and then...

@ Kitty: Sorry to hear that, hope your situation improves soon! Keep your eyes open for opportunity, and never give up hope! @ SC: Have some of this then! ;D Wow, suddenly I am all that much gladder to live in Indonesia, judging by how cold Europe is starting to sound! The New Year has been really good, but really busy... I'm not sure how much I'll be able to visit CC now, since I'll be so much busier for the rest of the year (and probably the rest of my life). ;D But I'll keep visiting, at least once every 10 days or so. @ EK (and all other British CCers): How's the weather there? From the news ( even sports news ), it doesn't look so good... I hope your home's piping systems are okay!

@ Handy & two - no worries people, I'm not dead yet (cats have 9 lives and stuff..) - actually it is an interesting (not nice but interesting) experience. Having to worry about getting enough food, feeling what it REALLY means to be cold (anyone having electric heating doesn't know - I learned that the hard way) and worrying how to get around on foot. It taught me to appriciate the really important things of survival: warmth, food and transportation. And because I like oldfashioned stuff, it feels kinda.."heroic" to live like people did until the end of WW2. It's like being in a Zille-comic (Heinrich Zille: Look Here ) or appearing on the History Channel. @glance - I actually might come back to that offer

@thd: Thx for nothing. Kitty: ouch, ouch!!!! Maybe try making some food with curry(turmeric)? That way you'll get more body heat? Finally, I started off on the Sweetish Bitters today with flax seed oil. Let's just say that the following kicked off in my body: - lots of body heat and energy - my vision feels slightly sharper: able to see more colors and details, the surrounding world looks "brighter" and less "dark" - heartbeat feels faster -for the first time in "dunno how long", my feet and hands feel warm. - i feel very hungry constantly, as opposed to feeling "full" and bloated earlier in the morning and previous days - able to take a walk today without feeling like dying(extreme tiredness). Soon, I might be able to climb stairs - The only bad thing is that I've so much energy, I can't concentrate. And oh, I keep laughing for some reason.

DPR: aww thx, man. Also been mixing Diaceteamous Earth into the water I drink, for silica. Guess what? My hair is growing out by a lot(less bald spots) and I also feel a little better. Also, less joint pains.

Awww, that's sad for us but good for you, THD. Kitty, good luck getting through the Winter... Hope you'll find more resources to ease it. Sonar, that you're going better is great news. Drinking a diatomaceous earth beverage is not something I would have thought was done though, and I'd be wary to try it...

LaFille: Oops, it's not a beverage, just a tablespoon or 2 dissolved into a bottle of water. Something about a thin layer of orsothilic acid forming after a few hours. Also, something to do with the acid with Vit C = collagen. Oh and really really bad news, I think I have low blood pressure. My blood pressure stats so far : sys/dia heart rate During the day(afternoon): 83/70 70 , 84/68 72 , 86/57 86 After dinner 88/75 105 , 83/67 83 , 86/62 86 , 89/64 88 ) www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/medicine/blood-pressure.htmAccording to this, I have LOW blood pressure?! YIKES! =O

YIKES! =O I have very low blood pressure as well, the day before yesterday i had it checked and it was 9.5, thought i just had lunch. My doctor said i could eat chips and salty snacks as long as I keep an eye on my weight, which isn't that much of a problem. I don't see to gain any weight, but loosing it instead

We use diatomaceous earth in the lab as a filtration/abrasive agent. It's also commonly used in pet litter filling and a component of the synthesis of dynamite. ;D
I'm not a doc, and if you're worried or feel that it could cause you disturbing symptoms you should see one, but those stats while low don't look alarming to me, especially if it's not new...

looking at the chart, your blood pressure isn't so low that it should cause problems however you do probably want to be aware of it when you're doing stuff.

That's one failed exam already. I have to change the way I approach my studies drastically.

I didn't take enough time to study for the exam I had today. I thought two or three days would be enough. Turns out I needed a lot more. I couldn't solve a single question of the exam.
Meh, on to the other ones. I won't do my mathematics exam either, so that's already two resits this summer. And I shouldn't be complaining because it's my own fault. I wanted to change my bad habbits from the beginning of this college year, but I didn't expect it to be that difficult. But I'm working on a new way to fix things next semester.

Don't be afraid to ask the tutors for help as most of them have probably been in that position themselves.

Damnit, today was going on so well until I got allergy attacks from ... eating vegetables. Well, more like steamed asparagus. My mouth was burning and I kept crying. Hildor: Best of luck, dude. Go for the marks, my man. ;D

Heh, one should always have Benadryl in the pharmacy. Though a lot of "mere" food intoxications are confused with allergies, too... Awww, Hildor, whatever's fault, it still sucks... And yeah, some tutoring might be good. In the mean time, a simple trick that might help is to revisit content a couple of times within 24 hours after learning it. Even if it looks pointless, what it does physically is to strengthen the neuron path and makes it "imprint" much better. Stress before exams is a killer, too...

Hmmm... Benadryl , huh? I dunno if I can get that off the counter or if I'd need a prescription for that. Hmm...
"Mere" food intoxications? Pardon?
