You know you're a WellTeller when...
« on: April 25, 2007, 09:12:59 AM » by ~CKMom~

your heart leaps for joy when you look down in the drive and see the first fresh plantain plant of the season!

someone asks if you have any pets and you show a picture of HB's garlic doctor! (I couldn't figure out how to post it!)

(My, how one's approach to life can change in a year!)

Thanks, Well Tell Me!

When WTM becomes your home page. Wink

When your child has a new symptom, and this is the first place you go.

when your reigerator door is filled with homeade tinctures and probiotoc.

when plain yogurt is considered a main staple at your house.

....when your three and six year olds start harvesting all the dandelions in your yard so you can make "tea and have salad" (as they say)!!!!

.....when your children mention teas and herbal rememdies when they are coming down with something.

.....when your children read every label on products you put in the grocery cart to look for "high fructose corn syrup" or "sucralose" and put it back on the shelf if it does, knowing it is bad for you.

....when the words "I will pray for you" (and they actually do it) comes out of their mouth first when there is a sickness, illness or injury.

-your dog hangs his head when he sees you coming with a cotton swab, because he knows it's ACV or Goot for his hot spot. (Actually, he's happy when it's the goot, because he can lick it off after we leave!).

-you're given an extra $10 to spend for the week, and you promptly head to the HFS to "blow" it!

-when you run to the computer and 'refresh' the forum while the hamburger is browning just a little bit more...

-when you are constantly wondering and praying over due dates of families whom you have never met

-when you watch the weather channel and pray for any WTM'ers who might be living in the weather hot spots

-when you take much longer in the store because you are checking labels

-when your kids say, "what herb do I need to grab to fix/cure/heal this?"

-when your husband is stung by an early season wasp and you chew up the plantain to put on it, and he doesn't even blink and eye but says thanks and tells your dad about this amazing plant (happened last weekend)

-when you get excited to drive 100 miles to shop at Whole Foods, Wild Oats and Sunflower Mkt, and you keep a special fridge list for such an occassion

-when you are happy and content because your body finally feels good!

When you work in the emergency medical field, and a fellow employee calls you and says "so and so said you made some kind of rash cream out of weeds and garlic and well, I have this rash on my neck and nothing is fixing it.... could I get some of the cream you made..the doctor doesn't have a clue what to do about it.." Roll Eyes

This happened to me today.. LOL just out of the blue one of the other medics called me and said someone told him at inservice that I made ointment for my children's poison ivy and did I think it would work on his rash.. Tongue

When your dh ask you if you would like to go harvest or look at the weeds before he mows the yard and what is he "allowed" to use for pest control so he doesn't ruin your weeds and children.. Wink

When you substitute raw honey for sugar in the normaly southern style sweetened with way too much sugar black tea and nobody notices.. Grin

When you go to rub an ointment on the children and and upon seeing you approach with a tub of goo they say "ewwww do we have to eat that, or is it just to wear.. "

Amen to that!
When you plan on taking a vacation(I have three this year) to meet someone you have never met before and your family asks: "Who do you know in that State"?

When your five year old clicks on bookmarks and then says "I got WellTellMe on for you"

When you see a sign advertsing a product that you can pay for with Visa, Discover, and MC(and the first thing you think of is Master Cleanse, not Master Card ) Cheesy

When your husband comes home from work or a meeting late at night and there is something on the counter fermenting, something in the toy room "dripping", something in the cupboards brewing, and rotting food in every room.

Oh, me too, me too! You guys have to stop this! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! If anyone (pre-WellTeller) reads this, they're going to think we're crazy, and the guys in the little white suits will haul us all off to the funny farm! Of course if that happens, hopefully they'll put us all in our own building together. Let's see, I'm sure we'll have access to the outside and find something to help us detox our livers from the psych meds they will try to give us. We'll have to watch the spirulina intake so that those psych meds don't get taken up too quickly. Maybe there's a way to make some bootleg kombucha so we can have some sort of fermented foods. Of course, we'll have to find a way to grow some garlic. Perhaps we can convince them to give us unrefined sea salt for a treat when we're good and don't "act out". Do you think they would give us our cows to raise for occupational therapy?

I think we'll be ok if that happens if we all stick together. Besides, then our spouses could meet others and find out that they're not alone in this thing either.

Hmmm - maybe it would be easier just to have that reunion...

You know you're a WellTeller when trying to live as naturally as possible (from the things our Creator has provided) is this much fun!

It's a date; at least we'll have a great supply of kelp and sea salt and no access to processed food! Hey, think of all the coconut oil we'll get for free! Cheesy

Whoa, I never really saw that modify button before. I thought only Gabe or HB could modify. We really do have power here!
