NO,NO Sven, not butterfly bush. That is Buddleia. I'm talking about Butterfly Weed. It looks completely different. It only has orange flowers, is a short perennial, doesn't spread too quickly. I and several in my family have taken it. It isn't poisonous. Absinthe, hugh. It's illegal here. I'd love to try it. I have used wormwood herb and mugwort, it's cousin. All of the artemesia's are bitter herbs so absinthe is probably good for you liver compared to other forms of alcohol. Of course they all can help with digestion and blood flow. I like Hot damn for cold weather and indigestion.

Oh, I almost forgot, about Pluto, when he was exact conjunct my Scorpio Moon, my real mom passed. Uranus was involved too. This time Pluto was trine Pluto, Moon conjunct Moon, Uranus opposite Sun. My dad is Aquarius with Scorpio Moon. Moon was square his Sun when she had the stroke and may have been conjunct his Moon but I don't know his birth time.

All of the artemesia's are bitter herbs so absinthe is probably good for you liver compared to other forms of alcohol. Of course they all can help with digestion and blood flow. I like Hot damn for cold weather and indigestion. Artemesia is also something of a flavouring, but its extract in Absithe is something special. I don't see why anyone who really wants the full effect of alcohol would even bother to drink it, it totally NEGATES the effects of drunkeness making one alert and self aware but still, if you drink enough "alcohol" you will be Drunk, just a very alert, self aware "drunk", usually not what someone who is into the effect of alcohol really wants.. but rather a lack of awareness... The good qualities of Abinthe are is that it does strengthen the immune system after a long illness. It was something developed for medicinal qualities in the 17-1800's and used to be something of a "preventitive".. to keep away parisitic infections and keep the digestive system in good working order (because 80% of the immune system is DIGESTION, right?) Its historicly a tonic for the liver as well, and even older texts claim a certain protective nature in it against ghosts.. "evil spirits" and other psy oriented entities... I think its the liver connection as the liver is a considered a "psychic" organ. Its one of the herbs I find has a powerful tonic effect... and so in spite of the alcohol in the drink (you drink it deluted with water with sugar to counter activate the bitterness) The only reason I can see making Absithe illegal was due to the fact that by the time it started getting really popular, (at about 1900) it was in compitition to wine, as well as they made so many Cheap immitations (even today!) those cheap immitations made with extract oils in uncontroled quanities are actually TOXIC.. make certain if you do drink Absinthe its only the "good stuff" cos life is too short to drink "bad stuff"  www.absinthe.se/see link above for more interesting in depth ideas, reviews and information.. I really like the slaming reviews of the Czech versions that heavy drinkers all over the web seem to promote saying how great they are (this reviewer is really about good tasting things and has a senstive range of taste which seems to rank like mine so I listen to this one all the time!!)  Yes they sell absinthe here (it never was banned as in other places in the world) however some health supliments seem to have no way of getting past the ban on other items. I only mentioned "butterfly bush" because that was the only native living relative to the plant here. I'm offically over the pneumonia, now I have a virus infection in my lungs (but they call this a "chest cold") still rather uncomfortable. No offical actions taken, and as soon as I'm feeling better I can go back to working without trouble.. but today I'm offically "infected".. runny eyes, runny nose, a sore throat and a cough. Hurrah I'm cured!! But I feel rubbish!  Thanks for all the well wishes, but still, its not over until that mystery on the x ray is finished up with officially. Besides that, no restrictions in activities (typical) and try to function as best I can. But the doctor sugested a family counciler to "talk" with my husband about what he could do to make my life function better. The universe is speaking..I'm listening. Can't I just run away with the lovely octigeniarian gentleman on the bus and talk about languages and culture all day? No  , but I would love to see him again! Be well... Thanks for your well wishes! svenskasfinx |

Hi, Svenska. I can't say your last message was 100% cheery, but you do seem to be resting. That's not critical, just a response to the overall tone, as you are usually pretty spunky.And I think you will have a second x-ray soon, so we will wait to hear from you. I am keeping you in my thoughts.
