My pond runs all winter, zone 2/3

I have some arthritis in my hands, never can stop using them. Many nights I am woken up due to the pain, even during the day, like a bad tooth ache going on all of the time. Many nights I can't sleep due to the pain. I hate pain pills so don't ask for them.

I am so tickled, this is the first time in years I sleep all night without waking to pain off and on all night. Not a cheap answer, but if it works who cares.

Like @j.w says, we're all free to believe what we want, I'm always curious to understand why or how people come to the conclusions they do. Though I do take issue with scam artists.

Same here @MitchM . I believe lots of things that "normal" people think are nutty. If you're talking conspiracy, then there's a motive, and when you get to the motive you can get to the truth.

@addy1 - glad to hear you've found an answer for your hand pain. Mine are just starting to bother me - same as you, I sometimes wake up at night with pain in my fingers and hand - so I'll definitely be looking into this as a solution. I don't like pills either.

@callingcolleen1 - whenever I research things where I believe that the facts may be different than what has long been accepted as truth, I ask myself "why?" Lies are employed by people who have something to gain, and usually that boils down to money or power. So with your belief that we are being lied to about the earth being round, what do you think the government or NASA or scientists or whoever stands to gain by convincing us the earth is actually round and not flat as you believe? Where's the gain in the lie? What does anyone achieve by lying about something so basic and yet so innocuous? I mean honestly - who cares? My life wouldn't change one iota if the planet I live on turns out to be flat. So who benefits from lying to us?

I would also be curious how you would explain a solar eclipse if the earth is flat.

I am so happy to see your mom is getting better every day! Kudos to you for being brave enough to try something new. Now medicine is definitely one of those areas where you can see the gain in the lie - keeping us dependent on drugs will enrich the drug companies. The lie leads to gain which equals money in their pockets.

Its hard for me to explain everything in words, but rest the Flat Earth exoerts have all questions covered. If your interested to learn about flat earth then check out some of the links to rhe posts about flat earth, or check out " Flat Earth Discussion Group on Facebook (they are VERY Busy) Most people become flat earthers after doing serious research. . I am rarely on my computer these days as I am always running to work, or to my mom. Right now I am in tub sitting soaking my tired bones. My mother is making such huge progress we are going to Church again this morning before I rush ro work. We used to go but her dementia was so bad she never knew what was going on and would make non stop noise of inaudible words, and people in church would look at us because we disturbed others...

NASA biggest scam artist out there... And they have been PROVEN Liars and Fakers

 

[callingcolleen1]

Was going to take my mother to Church this morning but she was still in bed as the wheelchair seems to make her bed sores worse. I have got a new air matress a couple days ago, that compresses, / depresses, and her sores are just finally healing. But she is making progress and can do little things again like hold can of bubbling water and drink it herself. She can also take fork and put it in her mouth. She speaks quite good now, and seems sound of mind, but her body is weak but improving slowly.
Nurses are amazed by her change and one said her face has changed, and she looks like she did before dementia. Before she used to look at me strange and had that "vacant stare". She's sleeping so nice and were listening to beautiful soft Christmas music...

So good to hear that your mom keeps improving more and more each day!

@addy1 - glad to hear you've found an answer for your hand pain. Mine are just starting to bother me - same as you, I sometimes wake up at night with pain in my fingers and hand - so I'll definitely be looking into this as a solution. I don't like pills either.

I use turmeric , anti inflammatory, triple flex, was taking tylenol arthritis when it hurt so bad I could cry
Now i use willow balm , find on Amazon, and the cbd cream. Right now working well. I can handle the pain during the day, but when you stop doing stuff, ie watch TV sleep the pain comes forward in your awareness. It never stops.
A lot of times I can't type on the forum.

Sure hope it works for you. Check justcbd.com. creams etc analyzed for levels etc.
Walmart has a cream . Uncle Buds, hemp oil. Works but not as good.

Oh I had such and nice day with my mom and she is doing so well, and I have been working on greenhouse again cause I am not so depressed!!

 

[j.w]

I am giggling at you Colleen. You sure look and act like you are feeling quite good now and nope you for sure are definitely not looking depressed,lol! Brings me right back to the good old days of the 60's and 70's. I don't like the idea of breathing in smoke tho no matter how good it makes one feel.
So glad your mom is getting along so well now w/the CBD oil.

You have fun now in your greenhouse

It's good that your not feeling so sad, whatever makes you happy.

I am just so happy to see my mom getting better and better every day, and that makes me so excited to see her every day. At the beginning of November I thought my mom was going to die before Christmas. I just dreaded the sound of my phone ringing, thinking somebody was calling me to tell me my mom was passed. It was just the most awful feeling. I just worked, cried at work, cried at home, cried in my mom's room, it felt like I was dying inside too. My brother left my moms room crying so hard his daughter had to take him home to calm him down in October.... Dementia is terrible in the end stages and hard to watch. The poor old guy across the hall was crying yesterday, his wife is slowly dying of dementia and I gave him a big hug. I have tried to tell him about the CBD oil but he is in his early 80's and hesitant to give it a try... I am going to try to convince him again today... He loves his wife so much I am afraid he will pass away if his wife Betty passes. He tries to take such good care of her but he does not understand about the CBD oil. I was so sad like him last month. Hopefully I can convince him to give it a try.... If there is any CBD oil left in town.

 

[j.w]

You are so caring and hope this man will give it a try. It will not hurt his wife and may just give her some more extra nice time on this earth to enjoy some good time together.

Can you believe I have not used my heater yet this wintet??? Its been cold and I would have had ice on my pond by now and I would have had to use a 1500 watt heater at the very least BUT because I covered all the ponds with cold frames (and left water running, this year, still NO ICE !

 

[callingcolleen1]

Monday I went to see my sweet mommy, gave her a CBD pill and then noticed that my Sister Glenda was there earlier... So because of a "miscommunication", my mom accidentally got a double dose of CBD....
So Glenda went yesterday cause I had to work all day and told her son, WOW is Grandma ever doing good today!!! I think I might start giving her extra every other day or something...

 

[Gemma]

I'm glad your mom is doing so much better !

Unfortunately I had to turn off one of my ponds this morning! The ice formation had lowered the water level so much over night the pump was starving and I couldn't raise the water level cause the faucet was frozen
I think next year I will build cold frames like you.
