I’m glad there is a forum for IHSS, but it looks like no one has posted for quite sometime, so I’m hoping to get an answer. I have not received my time sheet for the last part of November. I called my county and they said that Sacramento just sent them out on 11/28, but I would have thought I would have received mine by now. I have called my county, but they just tell me to wait. My questions are, is there anyone else still waiting for their time sheet and is does anyone know who I can call in Sacramento to get ask when they sent them out? ... ... Thank you ... Justmom [End]

yes DQ, I think that ’last ditch effort’ you speak of, that brings people to natural approaches like the Oleander soup -which granted, is strong and potentially toxic stuff if not respected- has effectively marginalized all such natural so called ”alternative” approaches, and has even demonized a natural lifestyle in toto.

This is a poem, from my 5 book fantasy series known as Of Atlantis, scheduled for release this fall ... ... Lost so long ago, almost totally forgotten by mankind, almost lost to various chapters, of time, itself ... The thought of something so magical, has no room in the rat race of man today ... Through out all ancient societies, you will find reference to the amulet, and all it’s magic and wealth ... But something of this magnitude, has no place in the rushed life of mortal man today, as he works, as he plays. ... ... From a race of super beings, from very long ago, almost being forgotten, over the infinit ...

Since the beginning of time, mankind has been able to conquer dynasties and form empires because of the existence of the horse. They have been used to carry mankind into battle and to keep the peace or reshape the world at the whim of man. The ancients would never have ruled, the great wall of China would never have been built, Alexander The Great would have remained an unknown, and The West would not have been won if it weren’t for the horse. They’ve pulled our milkwagons and have been the backbone of mankind’s ”progress” (and I use the term loosely) since the beginning of time. They are ...

Depression is defiantly a difficult issue, you may think about a group, to help get you through the hard problems. A third person point of view can help allot, and it is truly about support, and we all need this at times. ... ... ... ...

WOW. ... Thanks for all the great info. ... I usually feel too much like crap to do yoga. My goal is to get off the drugs, find some herbs to help me feel normal and then start yoga again. i just cant do it when I feel horrible and exhausted.

I have read that it is not good to take herbs for depression when you are still on the drugs. Do you agree? Once I am off the drug totally, where should I start, herb wise? ... I am going to start looking for a holistic practitioner asap ...

Hourly consumption of fresh juices supply ample nutrients. However, when these nutrients re-enter tissues, toxins accumulated over many years are forced out into the blood stream. The liver then filters these out. The liver is easily overburdened by the continuous release of toxins and is unable to release the overload. ... ... ...
