I've only ever used salt to clean my crystals, but a mild soap is probably ok. In fact, I had so much sunscreen on today, I'll more than likely need to wash that off my jewellery. So thanks for that tip....:-)
So glad you are doing better, you deserve clarity and true peace, JJ. The benefits are good, yes?
I think Weeds was more interesting than that Desperate Housewives...:-) I hope it goes places that inform rather than just entertain....I haven't seen it in a long time. I do remember a scene where she was dressed and in the tub crying and I could so relate......
Hey, I went and saw Mr. Brooks last night, what a relief to see a movie that had me paying attention for a change.....more intriguing than that Pirates movie (which had me wondering wtf is going on ?) It's about addiction and enabling and it's got twists and turns and a crazy plot keeps you wondering and wanting to know more......and the theatre was only a third full. It's violent and kept me up when I got home lol....but whomever wrote it covered all the bases, there were no holes and made me really think about what life is and how we choose whom we bring into our circle, examining our own hatred we put out there and our family and what that really means....it was very interesting and Dane Cook is a fine actor, I've always loved his comedy but wow he was convincing as a disturbed young man. Demi Moore is in it. Kevin Costner. Marg Helginberger. If you don't mind psych thrillers...I say go see it, skip the Hollywood RaRa movies....this one makes you FEEL very weird lol....if you're into that sort of thing.
Speaking of feeling weird haha, I'm stepping into the adult social scene tonight and going to a gala, silent auction, baseball parents......there will be copious amounts of drinking one can assume (since it only gets mentioned a dozen times between the adults at their kids games today) and instead of skipping it, I'm venturing forth with bottled water in hand. I am getting used to going out without my hubby now, not sure if that's a good thing....but I know the more I do the uncomfortable stuff, the more confident I get in my new skin.... and I'm very aware that I this time I will be practicing non-judgement and loving kindness and acceptance....:-)(or at least thatis the spirit of my plan) it's so easy to paint the world everyone-is-an-addict-black when I want to get all resentful....and think about how it's not fair that yes....many people can actually manage their beverage consumption without turning into a freaky freak whom is looking for the best hash in the city....the best part is I can leave and drive home grateful for my new found love of self and appreciation for the many volunteers that run this organization. Feels very cool.
Gotta run now, walking into a place alone is the hardest part....deep cleansing breaths.....scanning the room for least threatening table....arrrggghhhh
Take care, see you soon, keep enjoying your freedom....
D
Edit to say I survived the evening, skipped the dessert table too :-) and even came home with a gift for my husband.....it's unfortunate he won't be here for Father's Day. :-(

Yeah....I dressed up....not everyone did...but I always feel better if i do.....I woke up very happy today......laughing at myself for calling my dad to wish him happy Father's day yesterday......oops....he didn't even notice it wasn't FD....yup....we are alot alike LOL......stunned....lmao
I have alot to do this week around here and my kids are making requests for things like cupcakes and banana bread.....now I'm on a mission to find a weightwatchers version of these items....if that's my biggest accomplishment this week.....I'll be satisfied....and Jake wants to go to the community lake which I dread but I'll take him and his bike needs a new tire so we can bike together.....since he wants to do more stuff with me....
I found a Reiki group starts up next saturday night....I just might join....not sure yet.....
Hey, prince Harry was at a local bar this past week, one of the sexy bartenders is getting 30 grand from a British tabloid because she was the object of his attention apparently.....object indeed..don't get me started....
How's the work situation,JJ ?
I wanted to thank you for your candid talk about AD's because I've come to the conclusion I need to start taking my morning pill too, as I know things are not as they were before when on a certain dose.....I told my Doc I was forgetting my morning pill so I guessed I didn't need it anymore.....not the case now....I feel it's necessary .....I can accept it.....
Regarding tv, I don't get alot of shows here....we don't have a sattelite or digital or whatever, so I get the programs much later in the season than when they are originally aired....and quite frankly I avoid tv alot because it was a huge sign of my depression in past years....memories of couchsitting makes me shudder.....so I'm always aware in the back of my brain to watch out for that.....I like to watch Ellen in the mornings on the treadmill though....:-) I saw the Canadian awards for the walk of fame last night......it made me cry happy tears for Catherine O'Hara........I cry very easily it's ridiculous...lol
Have a good week,

That's too funny, WW.......well you were ahead of the game.
Prince Harry..........oh I saw that photograph.......she got how much? Oh I'da dimed him out big time for alot of loot.........LOL.........he's a card that kid.
Can I say that about royalty?
WW, what a wonderful and refreashing thing to see you went to that social function........good on you.........and no worrying if ya'd turn into a "freaky deak"
You crack me up.......sadly I know of what you speak.......made that old 70's disco tune my anthem........"The freaky deaky"........your love of self certainly is working for ya...........and I'm happy and proud.
You're doing the WW plan huh? WW for WW........I can vouch for it........100%.
Have ya tried this little number.......ginger snaps.........if ya like them......those ones come in an orange box........measure some Cool Whip........put it inbetween.........satisfying........those little frozen desserts are good.......the cheesecake one.........you guys get the beagels and bread up there?
This is excellent, WW.......your growing as a person........and a fabulous one at that.......and what more can one ask?
Keep on keepin on........did you say that over on the other thread........or was that someone else and I said.........oh your starring in the Broadway rendition of "HAIR".............LOL..........funny sayings.
Yo, WW I read what ya posted on the other board.......I just don't know.......I don't........I wish I did........I wish you did.........your therapist must have cracked up.........."Ya think you can call him and ask"....your humor keeps you alive I believe WW........and your warmth keeps us alive..........thank you.
True story thinking back........I was in this therapists office.......first time so it was intake.........and as he's asking questions.........and I hear an obviosuly over medicated person singing real loud out in the hall........."There Comes A Time".........Neil Young being a Canadian I am sure ya know this tune......."It's a wonder tall trees ain't laying down there..........I get that far in the lyrics and suddenly I get "Do you hear voices?" from this cat therapist.......I'm like "No I don't hear voices but I hear singing. It's Neil Young".........he goes "You can hear Neil Young singing to you?"
It dawned on me he didn't hear the dude........and I'm all "Look somebody was just out there singing I swear and it was a song I know".........LOL.......oh I bet he wrote some good stuff down there on me.......I say things like you, Wonder Woman........we make a joke, and ta-dah.......LOL.......do they get it?
All good things, and congrats on the clean time..........and Jo Jo you too.
Tony lives in your hood..........the real one or the charachter.......LOL....for some reason it makes me want a canoli.......too many points though.........LOL.
Evening ladies and thanks for the heads up over here.
