Our internet has been in and out all day, so thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! @mrsp67 - I am glad you are okay! A night with lots of sideways rain, thunder, lightning, wind gusts up to 65 MPH, and storm surge was probably closer to 5 feet on Charlotte Harbor at 3AM. (It came up halfway into our yard, and the harbour resembled a washing machine.) Luckily, other than a sleepless night with restless little dogs, we did not awake to find the sailboat our living room (so there's that), and had no damage other than a few washouts behind the seawall (which we will be filling tomorrow) and all of electrical outlets on the dock were submerged (we turned the power off before the storm hit.) We only lost power once for a second Those north of us had it far worse- but there was still flooding down here in low laying areas and barrier islands that already had been beat up by Ian last year, and those who still have tarped roofs- those tarps were shredded. @mrsp67- was the flooded bar at the shopping center on Peachland? How did your sandwich shop fare? Many prayers and positive thoughts are needed for those to the north of us. ❤
All is well in the hood. The brunt of the flooding was in downtown PG. finally getting a new roof at the shop this week, it’s been almost a year of waiting! Friends in Swanee had six feet of water the house dock and grounds are virtually a total loss! Mother Nature has not been kind to Florida this year!
 
I talked with Selmar. He cancelled a few times, because he wanted to leave his past behind him. Eventually we did talk, but some topics and people were off limits. 100% understandable. He was very nice and at points during the conversation, he stuck to his guns and said he didn’t want to talk about certain things. Selmar is a normal person that happens to have been swept up into the CD poop tornado like a lot of other people. He is not a saint or a villain, just a regular guy from the Netherlands.

I’ve messaged with Tatyana. She is also a very nice, normal person. More than anything, she wants to fade into the CD background and disappear from the insanity that goes along with it.

I wish them both the best and hope the CD vitriol stays with the main characters that deserve it.❤️
Thanks for reminding us of this perspective.
You are a really kind and decent person Jules! Unfortunately the worst of my snarkiness of seems to come out here-- probably because it feels like a "safe" place to a large degree.....
 
If she had thyroid problems, and I mean serious thyroid problems, and she wasn't taking her medication she would be in a whole lot worse shape than she is. Yes, thyroid issues cause weight gain. They can also cause weight loss. Eating crap food can also cause weight gain. As can lack of regular exercise. Thyroid medication can also cause weight gain. Long term lack of thyroid medication for a real problem will cause schizophrenia. And also without the correct medication a person can die. If she has thyroid issues she needs to book herself an appointment with an endochrinologue and get a full medical check up from them. And then she absolutely must follow their health plan for her. That she functions as she does I don't believe her thyroid problem is serious. Stop with the self diagnosis and the self medicating. A proper diet - a little red meat, fish, chicken, eggs, lots of fresh green vegetables. Prescribed vitamin D supplement from a doctor, not a supermarket, plenty of fresh air and exercise. Here speaks the voice of someone who lives without a thyroid, it's tough getting it right. It takes time, it's frustrating, it's soul destroying but with the right help and the correct medication it does come together. It's been 6 years and there are still highs and lows and annual or biannual tweeks to the medication. MariE is a stroppy mare who knows best and wants no-ones help and won't be told what to do. She's just another attention seeking waster.
So true, I've suffered with an underactive Thyroid for years (put on weight). I don't know if stress can affect it but since the loss of Mum, then the dogs it's gone haywire. The Doc is trying to get it to regulate itself back to where it was before. Some days I feel pretty crap with it, this morning being one of those days. As @C'est moi said you just cannot mess about and suddenly stop taking thyroxine, it will do you no go at all. Marie needs to see a Doctor for both her physical and mental health and get whatever her underlying problems are sorted out once and for all.

I was on Levothyrox for 5 years after the thyroid removal. I was totally fucked up. The dosage would be changed monthly. Most of the time I didn't know what was going on! I changed my endochrinologue who immediately saw what was going on. She put me onto a different medication (one that's not free from the state) and my life turned around. I've been on Euthyral for just over two years and just have an annual check up now with regular blood tests to ensure everything is in the right place. A few years ago there was a huge question mark over the medication Levothyrox here in France (this was actually after I changed meds) that led to doctors having to change things and offer alternative medications.
