In 1997 I arrived in Geneva to work for a year at the headquarters of a relief organization. Feeling overwhelmed by my job and lonely in a city of overworked expats passing through for two to three year stints at the United Nations or other organizations with the rather nebulous goal of “changing the world,” I made friends with a group of women.

I was 22, and all three women — one American, one German, and one Argentinian – were 30 years older than I and had worked for the same organization in various administrative capacities for the length of time I’d been alive. After one lengthy, boozy dinner of fondue and buckets of white wine, they quickly took me into their friendship fold and jokingly referred to themselves as “the Wrinklies.” We met once a week for dinner, and saw one another every day at the espresso machine in the hallway, in the fabulously lush cantina, on the expertly-tended grounds of our superluxe office building outside the city limits.

And so am I. Hugely so. Things to Try to Keep Yourself Safe. Copyright 1997, Mollykat, original location, authors homepage Keep dangerous things out of your house/apartment/dorm room For me, this means keeping OTC pain medications out of the house or only having a very small quanity of them in the house. Often this means when I do have to purchase a medication, I have to buy the more expensive name brand (generic/store brands always seem to have larger bottles) and pay a little more. A small price though when you think of it in terms of my safety in a crisis time. This also means that I keep razor blades out of the house. Sure, there are other things I can use but I know that I am most likely to use a razor blade and not having them in the house means that I have to make the effort to go out and buy them.

Make a list of friends you can call I do not do this because I do not have local friends that I can call. Call a crisis line Hold ice. Bill of Rights for People Who Self-Harm. The quiet place.

Little. Cinnamon and Honey. Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Cinnamon and Honey Whoever thought? Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing" When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave.

Cinnamon and Honey. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.
