Vitamin B-12. And Milk Thistle. ;-) Lots of juice and herb tea. Should get some B Complex, supposedly it will help my insomnia. But milk thistle - that grows here... It also comes in Extract capsules at both health food stores and in the herbal section at Wal-mart. It has numerous health benefits, no side effects, and is especially beneficial in protecting the liver from alcohol abuse in many people. It's not 100%, but actual research on it has shown it to be promising. I know it works for me. ;-) It's also helped me with insomnia and, most surprising, my chronic issues with heartburn. I DO want to grow it but have not seen any around for awhile. I need to order some seeds. Supposed to make an excellent salad green and the entire plant is edible. I'd like to try the young blooms. They are supposed to taste a lot like artichoke if picked at the right stage and steamed. Considering Artichokes are naught but a giant thistle, it makes sense. :-) -- Peace, Om Remove - (dash) to validate gmail.

Fortunately, I never drink too much. I pass out first. Vitamin B-12. And Milk Thistle. ;-) Not that I would know but you might try niacin.

And that last bottle didn't seem to be the quality of the first two. That's my position and I'm sticking to it... Today - just good healthy food and drink. C |

Happy Solstice :-) didja notice that my "Happy Solstice" message was dated 2003? I haven't had time to write anything lately.....but happy solstice anyway....gbseg and Happy Yule to all and hopefully the new year will bring incredible things to all of us. I am gnashing at the bit with not knowing what or where I'm going with the displacement after January 3rd when they sell my house from underneath me. Digging up perennials seems useless...........but it's good therapy. I've cut back the Deutzia and will dig it up and put it into a pot in a couple of days and winter it at a friends along with other plants I just can't seem to part with. Still packing, and in the middle of that, I'm working a full time job as a baker and all round kitchen person at a retirement village 17 miles away from where I am at for now. I come home a nub........., gather my wits and third and fifth wind and cook, do a little packing if I don't fall asleep on my feet and go to bed like some old farmer's wife........but in the wise words of "Weezie" in Steele Magnolia's" "that which does not kill us, only serves to make us stronger" sigh......right now I'm about 90! it's cold outside and we're safe and warm and there will be a Christmas dinner and some small things for Boxing day in honor of James and Patrick who are now a huge part of my life and new family. My love to all my friends here on the garden newsgroup. Please bear with me as I get my life in order. I promise to communicate when things are more settled. I appreciate each and every one of you. You are very precious and dear to me and I couldn't make it without the moral support and love that I feel coming at me from all over the world. In the middle of it all, I used all the suet and filled all the baskets outside the bedroom window, the thistle socks are being emptied as I don't have black sunflower seed (it's too dear to buy right now, and I already had the thistle and suet as a stash). the sounds of the birds as they scrabble over the pickings, their fussing at me since I dug up the clump of Heavy Metal ornamental grass and it's sitting there beside the shepherd's hook feeder pole reminds me that where I wind up will never be as populated as it is right now and I relish and cherish every moment. I count at least seven different birds at the feeders and in the remains of the Faerie gardens which look stripped but still partially intact somehow........ While I can........
