Janelle probably deducts the cost of the boxes of random stuff as a Strive "business" expense 

I think you're on to somethingk there!  

[Mahamid Frauded Me]

Can't wait to come back with family over the next few months...dumbass Janelle, you are 30 minutes away, not like you went trekking in the Alps - I highly doubt Janelle is doing any hiking, she could barely make it up the driveway of the Cottonwood property.  If she was staying consistent with workouts & eating habits - she would be down to Robyns size ( less the neck goiter )

true!

I can’t attach videos. So, Janelle’s latest is via a lecture she listened to during her “continuing education”. It was by John Immel. I looked him up, and he “directs the Joyful Belly School of Ayurvedic Diet & Digestion. He is the founder of Joyful Belly, an educational Ayurvedic health care website, and oversees the Joyful Belly Clinic.”.

Janelle says,

“I just heard the most profound thing. Actually I heard it this morning, and I’ve been thinking about it all day.......sometimes when we are feeling lazy about something, it’s that we are kind of playing mind games with ourselves. We’re either over estimating  the amount of effort it’s gonna take to do something , or we’re over estimating the reward.”.

That's also called procrastinating, over thinking and I just don't feel like going out in the rain today.  Wow.  That Janelle is sure a deep and profound  thinker, isn't she.

I had to look up Ayurvedic medicine.  It a practice of relating the mind and body.  It's been around for hundreds of years.

I'm old and get night sweats so it's time to throw my duvet in the wash.  According to ayurvedic medicine, I don't have to because my mind and body aren't ready.  Not because it's a huge pain in the ass to get back on the bed. Good to know!

PS.  The duvet is in the wash.  Further updates as needed.

Janelle would welcome night sweats.  She would interpret that to be her body's way of ridding itself of toxins and just may have the added benefit of weight loss from excess water being released. 

For Janelle, turning back the duvet and letting it air dry would forestall the possibility of harmful chemicals in detergents causing irritation.  Now Janelle has a whole new field to investigate, the link between what is in our environment and weight gain!  It couldn't possibly be something as simple as calories in, calories out.

Duvet update🚩🚩 My duvet was starting to smell.  I'm a big risk taker and decided part of my self care routine would be to wash the the duvet with actual detergent in my actual washer.  Since it's not a toaster, I figured the risk was worth taking.  Pray for me.😉

[Kohola3]

Your duvet is in my thoughts and prayers.  Take time to sit with a nice cup of herbs and spices and meditate your way to the conclusion of this trauma.  Self care is so important.

[xwordfanatik]

Yes, and when Janelle's self-care isn't enough, we mere mortal monogamists can take lessons from Pudge's fantastic ideas about self-care, which she lovingly posts.  So DEEP.

[deirdra]

I just learned yesterday on the Canadian show "Marilyn" that people lose a litre (~1 quart) of sweat each night while sleeping. Duvets appreciate washing, not procrastination.

Has Janelle ever blogged about jumping out of bed and doing something?

Right? Why should anyone care about what these no-results idiots have to say about health, especially Janelle?!  

Even just a decade ago if you couldn’t show results, you were forgotten. Almost cursed. Look what happened to Kirstie Alley and her weight loss peddling—she couldn’t keep it off so no one took her seriously. 

Nowadays? Any idiot can claim anything and have followers. I don’t get it.

My self care journey is complete for today.  I successfully completed my duvet task.  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.  I couldn't have done it without you.

[Rabbit Hutch]

All y'all are whack!  😎

Excuse me while I apply various self care techniques learned from Sludge & Co. to make myself a nice cuppa matcha tea with almond milk and pure cane sugar.  I will then climb on my soul Barco lounger, kick off my rabbit booties, and then  stare pensively at my little dog, who desperately needs his bath. Thank you very much!  😇

Uh, no thanks.  My reward is a cuppa of peppermint tea and an afternoon of crocheting.

I should tell everyone about this rock star green I discovered. It's called spinach and you can make a salad with it!! I know!!  I made this amazing salad with this spinach and some other stuff.  I found it at my extremely organic grocery store and it was only $10 for a bunch.  It's green and organic!!  Maybe your local extremely organic grocery store has it too.  Since I needed stuff that is roughly the same price of gold per pound for my salad, I figure this AMAZING salad only cost  about $25!!!  What a bargain.

In all honesty, I did have a spinach salad for lunch.  Just like I do most days.  I doubt anyone cares, but at least it was more interesting than the stupid shit Janelle and Mariah yammer on about.

I had an apple pecan chicken salad from Wendys.  Naturally it isn't very healthy for you because ... well... it's WENDYS - but they are pretty tasty!    And I congratulate myself for not getting a chocolate frosty and french fries to dip into it.

Awesome😁😁

Wouldn't over estimating the effort (or) under estimating the reward make better sense?

Speaking of videos- it seems we cannot post direct links to them (on youtube) on this new version of the forum... does anyone know if that is correct, or is there some way to do it?

Well, I see they still have fun money to burn.  Unless the artist was willing to barter the piece for Janelle's Strive "services."

Highlight a word in your message.  Click the Link icon.  Paste the YouTube URL in the top box. 

I just tested it and it worked for me.

[ChristmasJones]

OMG- I just tried this and it now works!!!!!

here is a random Sister Wives video on Youtube:

On the old forum, that would embed the video right into my post ... now its just a link.  ... which really sucks!!

IT WORKS!! yay!!!!!!  I tried to embed a youtube video on The Voice thread a few days ago and it wouldn't work..

--

Ok this is really strange, if I try to embed a music video from YT in this post, it will allow me to... but if I try to do that same thing in The Voice thread, it won't do it!! WTH is going on

I even tried to make a new post in this thread, with the music video, and it will not embed.  Is there any place to ask these questions? 

Edited March 13, 2019 by ChristmasJones

Ok, here is that same link to the Sister Wives video- 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiFhGslghvc

It will not auto-embed it !!!

coming back, and trying again, and now it embeds-  very strange!

Ok, last post about embedded YouTube links. I've believe I've figured out a trick to make it work if it doesn't automatically embed the video.

Paste your link into your post, highlight your link, right click, and choose the "inspect" option.

This will open a box on the side of your screen. Once this "inspect" window is open, click another space with the space bar right after your link and it should then turn your link blue, and embed the video directly into your post.

You can then click on the X in the upper corner of the pop-up box, and close it.

It seems that once you've done this in a post, any other links you post will automatically be embedded.

Sorry for all my posts about this.. I couldn't find a help section ... maybe its just something quirky with my own browser.

Janelle left one in her house in Las Vegas when they moved:

[Joan of Argh]

Gee I wonder why she left it....

Oh I know.. It would take a few minutes and some effort to take it down. 🙄

[suomi]

Or, someone (at least two someones) would have to climb a ladder to bring it down, remove the fasteners, and then patch and paint the walls where the fasteners were. Too Much Effort. Easy come, easy go.

Exactly what I said,,, it would take a few minutes and some effort

We've moved many times and removed things from walls, it really isn't a big deal.

But this is the Brown's...  They invented lazy. 🙄

They need to keep their eyes on Robyn and if she offers you a drink... Maybe trip and spill it.

Mountaintop gardening? She makes it sound like she's in the Himalayas, over-dramatic as always. Anyways, if she's worried about frost, she could always build a greenhouse. I wonder if that ever even occurred to her, or if the task just seems too daunting.

Looks like they are settling into the rentals for the long haul if she's planning a garden.  We can expect earnest Strive blogs about the side benefits of low lying garden beds...all that squatting and stooping provides not just fresh vegetables but a daily workout.

[xwordfanatik]

The word is "available."  Geez Louise.  

Did she take the picture (pitcher) from her window, or did she actually go outside?  My, my.  Wonders never cease.

[Juliegirlj]

6000 feet altitude is fairly high- mountain sickness can come on with no warning at any time- wouldn’t it be funny if some of them couldn’t tolerate the high altitudes and they had to scrap their plans and move lower?! 

Those high altitudes won’t help Janelle’s low energy! 

[Roslyn]

Well.  I certainly wouldn't mind a rental that came ready with those raised beds. They are really sweet! If she put real study time into it she would learn that she can be planting LOTS of things long before her estimated last frost date. 

[tabloidlover]

They are never leaving the rentals for Prairie Dog Flats. They will never have the money to pay off the land, let alone build 4 homes. 

That is why they chose such nice rentals.
