It's probably a combination of things. Not eating "right", possibly not getting enough hydration and depression will affect you too. The other caution that is sometimes overlooked: If you're really getting dehydrated, water alone will not rehydrate you. Low fat milk and sport drinks can be better choices as they have sodium, protein, carbs and electrolytes that the body needs and uses to reabsorb fluids. I don't know of anyone here (including myself) who actually does a serious exercising like sports players in training camps, but in those cases water often won't do it. It just doesn't get absorbed. I was sipping water nonstop when I was dehydrated the last couple of times. This kind of weather is a serious health concern. Summer or winter I still go outside and get some (semi) fresh air regularly. I think it helps but of course no clinical proof. Seems to affect how I feel. Moving around, getting out and going to work even helps so I happen to believe a change of air makes a difference. Although I can sure be outside a lot longer in the cold than in this sauna atmosphere. Often a change of your routine can bother you. People often have a resistance to change so trying to keep your normal routine going as much as possible will likely help IMO. Whether you go out to eat, get take out, have something delivered or find snacks you like, I am also convinced that when weather is bad it's important to eat. Yesterday and today I went out early and had a big breakfast. For me, that's my eating for the day. I'll be drinking fluids during the day. Now, with diabetes, a one-meal a day is not the best. Generally it's best to eat often. I suspect a connection between malnutrition and dehydration too. The doctors didn't dispute it either when I was in the hospital so like I said, there's a number of things that have impact. Said it before and I'll say it again, I'll take 20ð over this any day. I've never received nor seen a case of severe sunburn in the winter. May not have to shovel snow, but there's always BS to be shoveled! ;) Keep cool, calm, collected and hydrated.

I have always loved Houzz and used their pictures as inspiration for my kitchen reno, however, it was GW that helped me pull it all together. I got actual sources, advice, support and, dare I say it, "love" from GW. A totally different thing from what I've used Houzz for. This merger doesn't make sense to me, unless Houzz was somehow worried about the power GWers had on large purchasing decisions. If you like the GW enough to buy it; then let it be. It wasn't broken. Thanks for the opportunity to say my piece.

Ok, I'm switching it up again. The name of this game is, Can you beat this? I was looking at glass cabinet door pics and this one comes up. I was so struck by these doors, I have never seen anything quite like these. Very unique. So with that, my eyes start taking in the rest of the pic, and then, I came to it. A GIANT bug, right there in the middle under the cabs. Why??? Who puts giant bugs in their kitchen? Looks like a, I dunno, beetle? tic?? Gross. LOL So, can you beat this? :)

Well, I am a Flat Earther, and they are even more technologically inept than the Luddites. I post from my newish desktop (a Dell) using Firefox as my browser. My wizard son in law provides all our computers and sets them up. Here's how I get here: type letter "r" in the Google search box. The drop down will show Rose Forum at the top of Google's list. Click on Rose Forum, which then comes up at the top of the search results. Click on Rose Forum again. And I'm in. That's a typed letter "r" and two clicks. I've never once had to sign in. I don't even remember my password. We have passwords?? I post comments and photos all the time with no problem. How do I do this ?? Is it the gnomes that run everything in that little black box, a so called computer? Diane
