Re: teflon, microwaves, cosmetics, etc... OT QUEEN WREN

[Guest guest]

RHONDA!!!!!!!!! WHY OH WHY OH WHY DO I ASK THESE QUESTIONS!!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?? I keep asking God why he gave me such a curious and inquisitve mind and personality???!! I didn't go to bed early last night afterall. I stayed up and read your (Rhonda's) reply about the microwaves. But before that was posted I went back and read all the posts about how awful cosmetics, etc are, then I went over to Mercola's site and a few others and looked up about 3 1/2 hours worth of stuff!

*I knew mvs were bad, I just didn't think thru the extent of it....now I can't STOP thinking about it!

*I knew it was bad to color my hair, which is why my dr had a cow (pardon me cows) when I colored my hair while I was preg once.

*I knew it was bad to use teflon, but I had just paid $$$$ mucho moolah for a new set of Tefal when I discovered this info early last year and I couldn't bear throwing them out and wasting that hard earned money.

All of that was just the tip of the iceberg! I think I've finally stopped denying my stupidity! I love you people a whole darn lot but sometimes all this information is taxing on my feeble over worked & underpaid brain. Actually, I thank God you're here -- audibly and profusely!

As of right now it has been 24 hours since I used the microwave. I admit that I have opened it at least 1200 times and almost pushed start without even realizing it. I finally had to tape a stupid note to the inside reminding me NOT to USE it!! (I let my six year old draw a skull and cross bones; as you might imagine, he was overjoyed to contribute to my culinary demise). I can't believe that it has been this hard to not use it. But I am determined!!!! I will not "them" defeat me! However, I almost didn't know what to do for lunch. It has been years since I warmed up soup on the stovetop I guess. DUH!!

I am also already shopping for some good cosmetics to replace the garbage I have. And I threw away the box of hair color ! (Pray for me Blane!!

I couldn't bear to explain to my husband why I would throw away the pots and pans so I pushed them to the back of the cabinet and got out the one stainless steel saucepan and the one stainless steel stock pan I own .... Looks like I will be trolling ebay again.

My search for health for me and my son brought me down a long path over the last year & to this group. Since day 1, I was counting on the fact that you would all lead me farther down that path --- and you did. Because of the off topic posts & the wonderous knowledge of all of you, I have learned about all kinds of things I never would have known about. I will not live forever & I don't obsess over it. My philosophy is simple: Never stop trying to do all that I can reasonably do to take care of the body and the children that God gave me! --- And to do that I have to never stop learning and seeking. (I'd also like to think that someday I can sleep safely in my own house at night without my appliances standing over me in the dark with a sharpened irradiated dagger!! LOL)

Raw Dairy was only the beginning for us....you guys are leading me farther....Thank you! Flimsy connection, right? ....I know.......but I did try.

Brittany,

I was so hoping no one would ask. I think I'd rather be in the dark

on this one! I'm too scared of the answer. I guess I'm still trying

to at least look like the fountain of youth at 47.

Brittany, Look back at that post a couple of days ago about the

baaaaaaad stuff in cosmetics and it mentions haircolor. I was

horrified too. I've been gray for years and I'm just....well 30

something!!..kinda edging closer to the next decade now, I guess.

But anyway, I looked up haircolor on Mercola and googled it and was

crying tears of gray within a few paragraphs!!!

To make matters wrose, I was playing around iwth my kids in the car

today and asked them if they would have a problem if I had gray hair

instead of my usual color. The older one says " No , I guess not, as

long as it's not the color of Grandpa's! " Yikes! What an ego

crusher that was!! I have more gray than Grandpa!!

Umm, sorry to say, but hair dye is HIGHLY toxic. Truth of the matter is, you shouldn't put anything on your scalp/skin that you wouldn't put into your mouth. It's as simple as that.

Wren,

I just got home a few hours ago, and just turned on the computer and

oops no response from Wren. I was afraid I'd done it now

Actually it's fault - HeeHee. She posted this awhile back.

That's when I was the one staying up late at night and wringing my

hands on how I was going to warm up food. My teflon stays in use for

at least a few more weeks (can't afford new skillets) but the

wonderful old Griswold skillet will be coming out from that crazy

bottom drawer they put under the oven. (funny how I had a loathing

for cast iron till very recently - today)

BTW, I'd been feeling really bad about nuking popcorn in wonderful

virgin coconut oil and quesadillas with wonderful raw cheese. I

guess when the student is ready the teacher appears. I was ready to

give up the microwave. But now there's more dishes to do and you

have to think in advance about thawing food for dinner.

Wren, if we just think in terms of getting back to God-made foods

then we should be able to think in terms of how to prepare those

foods without the stupid man-made zapper. If anyone's up to the

challenge, I know you are. I see you as someone who won't let a

little old microwave situation get the best of you!

I really don't miss the microwave and you won't either. It sat on my

counter for several weeks before the yard sale and never even tempted

me. Now the haircolor is a different story (fingers in ears blocking

out the voices) I'm like you - overload! Good but whew - all at

once? One thingie at a time.

Rhonda

Glad you're not too mad at me ;o)

1200 times huh? You've really got it bad!

> RHONDA!!!!!!!!! WHY OH WHY OH WHY DO I ASK THESE QUESTIONS!!!!!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?? I keep asking God why he gave me such a

curious and inquisitve mind and personality???!! I didn't go to bed

early last night afterall. I stayed up and read your (Rhonda's)

[Guest guest]

yep, 1200 times.... (and i never exaggerate either!!) it was

actually 1139.8 times!

nah, how could I be angry!? Heck with you (and , et al) saving

me from radiation poisoning, I have more time to devote to finding a

wig that fits me nicely and doesn't make me look like a clown! LOL!

Hmmm, believe it or not, I've never thawed meats in the MW. It just

didn't feel right? Go figure! lol My mother gave me a dish a few

years back that has raised portions or stripes that is great for

thawing meats. I think its some sort of MW dish, like a bacon frying

pan, b/c it doesn't hold heat or cold and since it raises up the food

that's frozen it is great for quick thawing now and then. That is my

instant thawing device.

To make my life a little more hectic, this afternoon a friend called

to say she'd emailed me a bunch of info on having my fillings removed

so I don't die of mercury poisoning....if the nukes don't get me

something else will LOL! ...I am not ready to go down that road

yet. I have already made plans to do it, but as you said, one thing

at a time!!

Speaking of God-made foods, have you ever read or heard of Rex

Russel's What the Bible says about Healthy Eating? or Dr Ben Lerner's

Body by God? I ran across them last night in my reading and was

curious about their philosophies and content.

Wren

EEE GADS!!!!!! I didn't think about popcorn!!! How am I going to go

on living without my microwave popcorn!! Just joking - that was the

first thing with yucky oils I gave up last year -and boy was it hard;

I loved that garbage!!

Wren,

You or someone else mentioned both of those books. I often need

reminders on good books. Our library system didn't have them. So

will have to check CBD or the Christian book store.

As for popcorn - well it's still on my treat list. I use my

Revereware pot with lid and plenty of coconut oil. What a treat it

is! Probably not very NT, but I'm not one to go too overboard when

it comes to my treats. After all I work at Harry and 's home of

the famous pears and chocolate truffles (my real downfall in life is

my appetite for rich, smooth chocolates) and I often get incentives

or win contests where we are rewarded with goodies. I should get

hazard pay!

Rhonda

West coast is after 10:30PM - do you guys in the later time zones

ever go to bed before midnight? Just wondering...
