> and your birth place?Born raised and lived within 100 km of Toronto all my life. Once I was old enough to decide for myself, I have lived outside the city, but it's nice to know it's there if I need a special product, service or such.
> > Chromium if blood sugar is fluctuating. The big thing I was thinking about was there can be an inversion of diurnal cortisol, or, deficient adrenergic response (what some call adrenal fatigue). So, drugs can do the opposite of what they're supposed to (via the inversion), or do something nasty unopposed by adrenal secretions (the fatigue thingie)....that's my hypothesis.

What's up with it being on a Thursday, anyway? Extra-long weekend to overcome family fatigue?
> Next Christmas then New Years.
Oh, you're familiar with the calendar.....how nice. ;-)
> Then my birthday( which by the way is a holiday too but one I can be proud of!). I had an okay time working. My partner has to work tomorrow. we work at the same store. He always has to work on the holidays. so I will be home alone...it's kind of weird knowing there are people gathering all over the states in groups and this is the time I get to spend alone. Odd.
Not odd, different, IMHO.
> what's your day look like tomorrow?
That would have been yesterday? Nothing special.
> What is your thanksgiving like? Is it the same as ours?
We don't do Pilgrims. But it's a thanks-for-the-bountiful-harvest type celebration. A family time. Turkey. Pumpkin pie.
> this is such a funny chat, we have gotten to know eachother over this public forum. So public. We have shared such important and painful things we have and are struggled with. Can I end a sentence with the word with?
Yes, but it's improper. heh
The verb are struggled is a little odd, too. You'd need to use both forms to avoid that, i.e we have struggled and are struggling.
If you put "with which" ahead of the second we, you get away from the dangling participle.
> How long have you been active on this site?
A little over a year?
> I just can't wait for you answers.
> JaiSorry, made you wait.
> ps ( I am having real difficulty with my computer and my internet connection. Forgive me if at some point I take a while to answer...beleive me it's not my druthers. At one point I lost all my connections and I couldn't get back into psycho babble??? I tried but someone had my name....I guess that was me when my computer was healthy!!! what do you do when your computer freaks out? How do you get back on...you know reconnect with your name and all that jazz?)
Logging on here can be done from any computer. It's public. Anyone can read posts. Replying to posts, or starting a thread, requires that you know your username and password. That too can come from any computer. I've replied to posts from many different computers, and never had the slightest problem.
If you have specific questions, post them on Admin. Somebody will know the answer.
