What's everyone up to right now?

[Clueless Morgan]

I eat WITH my child. That is how I get him to eat healthy. We eat everything together. I do let him indulge with candy, cake, and soda. He's a good kid so I let him have treats.

A healthy approach to treats like candy needs to be taught early on; I have another cousin who married a lunatic woman who absolutely refuses her daughter any candy at all, so her daughter sneaks candy and binges in secret (under tables at birthday parties, in her bedroom, etc.). I noticed her doing this as early as her fifth birthday party. Talk about bad habits being picked up early.

Headbands... absolutely brilliant idea

If you're going from long hair (no bangs) to short hair, it'll probably take you a while to get used to having hair in your face all the time so headbands and hair clips will end up being your best friends.

I can't stand long hair either that's why I only have 2 inches of hair lol

I've gone from shorter hair (bobs and shoulder-length, so short enough to be in my face) to long hair past my shoulder blades in the last 2-3 years; it's been interesting. I've learned to braid my own hair, do a couple semi-intricate-looking hairdos I could never have done before and can finally put it in buns. That said, though, it getting tediously long so I'm considering getting a couple inches whacked off pretty soon.

In other news, am reading "Conflicts with Science" on mormonthink.com; how do people believe the shit the LDS says? Am feeling sad that my mormon penpal is so deluded...

I hate life. I can't sleep. I'll take 4-5 times the recommended dosage of perphenazine tonight and see what happens.

My youngest scares me. Last night for dinner, he had potato waffles with cheese and ham. Still hungry so strawberries and yoghurt for pudding. Still hungry so he had some grapes. Still hungry so he had 2 wheetabix. Still hungry so he had a bowl of cheerios. Still hungry at which point I told him he couldn't have any more.

The kid is 5, eats quite literally more than I do, and he's as skinny as a beanpole. I swear when he breathes in you can count every rib! He has the metabolism of a blast furnace!

I'd feed him junk food if I could get him to eat it, just to get him to put some meat on his bones,

Had him checked out for Coeliac disease?

[Angrboda]

I had coeliac disease. I couldn't eat any grains. I don't know much about the illness, but it doesn't sound like what I had. I would get violently ill if I ate anything with gluten in it.

Listening to some Augustines.

When I talked to my doctor about the problems I was having with this mood stabilizer, I mentioned that prior mood stabilizers didn't really do anything to curb my manic symptoms. The doctor said it was depression which was the real problem, that with mania, it's just a matter of piling on enough bricks. Somehow, I'm not looking forward to 2-3 months a year having "enough bricks" piled on my mind to keep me from being hostile and flighty. There's got to be a better way. But if there is, I haven't found out about it yet. I can't help but imagine it would be just as difficult functioning that way as being depressed.

Yo dawg, it's snowing in Alabama. Again. Not the kind of snowfall that just melts when it hits the ground, either, like legit snow. That's the second time this year! That must be a record for Alabama!

Also, if you want to know why I haven't posted much in the last few days, I downloaded Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines on Steam and it. was. AWESOME!
