Manda18 Ivy_tsuki Manda18 Ok, since my boyfriend never posts in here, I'm going to ask you something for him. He's sick, and his parents are anti-medicine. Do you have any advice what I can do for him to help him get better, anything herbal, or healing?
I'm also pretty sick, but mines my asthma... is there anything for that? After all these years of taking my inhaler... It really doesn't work for me anymore. And My lungs HURT, like really bad. I'm used to it, but it's still not very pleasant. grrrrr, I just wrote this nice long post and gaia screwed up domokun
Think positively! Even if you can do nothing else just sending good thoughts and energy does wonders. Tell him that you are thinking of him. On the herbal front, I am not sure how his parents will react to herbs when they don't like meds, but if you make willow bark tea, the willow contains aspirin... I am not sure of the dosage though so you will have to look that up *sorry* umm there is also ground ivy that is good to chew to releave head aches, but it is the wrong time of year to find it... umm if all else fails make a cup of regular tea. Hot liquids are just overal good for sickness, sorry I could not really be more help sweatdrop No they're ok with herbal things... I smuggled him some ny-quil and some benadryl. Just to help him sleep through the night the next 2 nights so that he can work. His parents are nuts... they only believe in herbal stuff, and won't take him to the doctor, only the chiropractor... which he has to pay for him self(and can't afford) So I keep telling him to drink green tea, and he is taking goldenseal to boost his immune system and such. But he's got some kind of upper respiratory thing going on, and so he doesn't want to be around me, He's affraid it will upset my asthma too much.. thats sweet and all... but... still.. . But maybe some one else will have some advice for me too... and I can put yours and theirs together... and do some kind of good. I don't have any good advice to offer but I hope he feels better soon, and I hope something works for your asthma. I have mild asthma but I can deal with that pretty well on my own. I don't like medicine either.

I do take medicine if I'm not feeling well but I try not to as long as I can. I guess I do take medicine in way but I just try to relax, drink a lot of fluids, and keep moving. Taking a day of from life to lye in bed doesn't make me feel better. xp

make him some chicken soup! seriously. make him homemade chicken soup. ask for help if you need to. but whatevers wrong w/ him, it'll help. the soup is loaded with nutritious stuff to boost his immune system and fight whats inside him. and the steam rising from the soup has nutrients coming from it too, and breathing it in may help his nose/throat/lungs. i read that in a magazine a while back, and it works for me ^_^

I agree with Rainy though, thoses old remedies for illnesses work from time to time. 3nodding I'm downing lots of liquid and hot stuff food/drinks for my cold.

I saw lots of random people...ok here is what I don't understand, we (my friends and such) went to this service station in the province of Lorraine, some small service station I can't remember what the name was, anyway there was this guy behind the till of a shop there and for some unknown reason I can't seem to forget him. I don't "fancy" him, I knew him name vaguely due to his tag thing and he wasn't that pretty, but I can't forget him, he's still in my head. I can't understand why I still remember him out of the 100001 people I've seen and forgotten. Its like there's a strange connection between us, he doesn't remember me but I just don't understand why I still remember him whee any ideas ? help loved heart thank you xxx

I have also read that sometimes thing like that happen to people whose brains operate on the same frequency or close to the same. It could be you knew him from a past life and you subconsciously recognized him. There are many possibilities. The question to ask yourself is what were you feeling when you saw him?

My first impressions were that he just another guy...big wow, um, French too ! works on the till, looks..ordinary, just a guy, I liked him the first second I saw him, like we'd known each other for years before that day, fell for him heart but not so much love or soppy stuff 'cause I know it sounds like that. But missing him only kicked in 3 days ago, I don't know why but I miss him a lot crying

I remember some people and places and I really don't know why I do. Sometimes I'll remember the place but nothing else, how I got there or why. Maybe we remember them because there is some connection, I'm not sure.

Sir Xian Luparn Okay, here I go:
I have been studying ABOUT Wicca for almost a year. I'm very serious about becoming Wiccan, and have been very serious of how I talk about it too. I was baptized Lutheran around the day of my birth, having been born with heart defects (that were later corrected), and my mother and grandmother (no father) wanted to 'save' my soul, so that I would go to heaven blah blah blah. I have never felt any connection or belief in God, and my parents/family are now becoming 'SUPER-LUTHERANS!'. I have tried to tell them my beliefs, but they don't care, and are forcing me to BE a Lutheran, though I don't want to be.
How do I go about becoming one, secretly, or do I give it up, though it feels so positively, undeniably, spiritually, mentally, even PHISICALLY right, and forget I even cared about my self for even a moment? Sir Xian Luparn, I ain't been studying Wicca half as long as you, and have no experience with Lutherans, but I can assure you something- your parents can not force you to be Lutheran. Were not the pagans who attended church by day and worshipped the Goddess by night to avoid being killed for their beliefs still pagan? Weren- eh heh, sorry, going on a tangent. I don't mean to sound preachy, really!
You may have to practice late at night and while your parents are away somewhere, but I say you should go for it and perform a self-initiation (or hell, maybe some of the Wiccans here could do a sort of digital initiation for you- hey, your parents wouldn't have to know that way!), and er... Scott Cunningham explains this much better... -_-;; *sigh*
Yeah, so, anyway, if you want to be Wiccan, you should go for it. 3nodding

If you want to initiate yourself there is a nice initiation in Scott Cunningham's Wicca for the Solitary Practitioner book. That's they only one I've read an initiation in. If you want to join a coven they will initiate you. Just so you know, if you don't already, if your not initiated by a coven some people will not consider you a true wiccan. I think it's more of a state of mind, do as you like. Good luck. biggrin

I hate my family. They all are the most worldly ignorant people...but that just makes me sound like I'm joining through spite. Maybe I'll start meditating more often...I think I'll see if I can find a spirit guide.
