My husband and I sold/merged our business on August 5. The negotiations went right until closing and then some. We entered into management contracts with the new entity and mine will be for 3 years and my husband's will last for 5 years, and then FREEDOM!!!

We were able to take a quick holiday this month which was at Mabel Lake in BC. It is rather remote and very beautiful. The boys were able to take a friend each, and what an eye opener for the friends. These friends were exposed to a minor dose of BTD eating, (I could definitely see the panic in their faces, what no white bread, pop, cereal or cow milk!!!!)

One of the boys had bad eczema and by the end of week it was almost cleared up, the other boy had bad panda eyes and we almost got them cleared up until he found the store and bought his bounty in icecream sandwiches. (He turned absolutely snarly after that and the panda circles returned).

I can almost hear the conversations at home, they made us eat weird food, wash dishes and clean up our rooms!!!!

I have problems with keloid scar tissue, whenever I get a cut, sprain, bruise or get waxed, I tend to develop scar tissue. Because of this, I tend to develop cysts really easily if I get an ingrown hair or have even a slight injury. I ended up with a abcess on my appendix scar so I went to the doctor this am. Well, he lanced and drained the baby in his office and the proceeded to find another cyst on my head which he wants to do next week. I have been searching the internet to see what I can do about this problem, but no answers yet.

The surgeon who did my appendix was amazed at the amount of scar tissue I developed even though I am 45. He told me normally, people over 40 don't get keloids as the tissues are usually weaker and the body doesn't build up the tissue as quickly. Oh well, just another thing where I don't fit in the normal patterns.

I have been experimenting with Vit A and Vit D this summer. My older son and I take fairly good doses of both. My husband doesn't take any and my little boy is taking fish oil. My older son and I have developed incredibly tans this summer with no burning and absolutely no sun screen, son 2 who is fair has a good tan with some redness even with 15 sunscreen, husband uses 15 sunscreen and still burns.

Do you think I am onto something????
