Waiting at my doctor's office. Nothing serious but something I need to get taken care of before the weekend. Have a great weekend everybody!

Back from a medical test, sitting at work by my computer trying to figure out what the results really mean to me, and going WTF
mud

I hope all is well with you guys. Just know this . . . that reading up on the Net can be good or bad like false news in politics. It's a great tool to be sure, and it solved a problem for me when I discovered a better solution for B12 deficiency saving me from getting poked every month; but, on the other hand the available info out there can be somewhat misleading getting one into all sorts of areas best overlooked. Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins and related scholastic institutions are pretty reliable and current however.

There's so much talk about sugar these days, for example, and we know how that's an issue (especially for diabetics and heart conditions), but not much is spoken about the marketing to decrease sugar (ie: soft drinks) and thus profit from other additives that have their own agenda. After enjoying many months of almond drink and veggie cheese I discovered (the hard way) that unfermented soy is reputedly reported to be bad for the thyroid even though it helped me with cholesterol and weight loss, and then there's a glut of corn derivatives everywhere on labels whether needed or not. Both soya and corn are increasingly becoming a common ingredient where it's hard not to find one or the other or both in your food or beverage of choice. Why? If there's a space for the print, just add a lot of junk (even if we don't need or research it) to our otherwise once healthy products. That goes for the electrical grid cars too. Alternative - yes. Environmental - no. Think of it this way - if you take your car in for inspection, whether it was just brought up to specs or be it new or old, one quick look will always find something to do, and that's good for the repair shop. What a lot of people don't know is that a lot of these repairs are not needed and the symptoms are common everyday occurrences. Same goes for some ailments . . . but. again not all. Dieticians work for both the consumer and against. The food chart always changes and most of the time it's repackaged like a California diet fad, changed because the hundreds of solutions have either not worked or simply aren't interesting anymore creating a window for opportunity, and both are mostly a North American phenomena. It kinda goes with the bread basket of the world. So take care, don't fret unless it's on the axe, and all the best whatever the situation.

YMMV

I'm sitting around enjoying a few canned beverages, watching Gold Rush and loosing E-Bay bids. But I'm getting ready to flip the switch and chill.

Going to go out for some Chinese and jam out on my violin bass. I need to hunt down some medium scale flats for it. They really do need that, I think.

That bass requires some Led Zeppelin to be played on it. It has a close resemblance to John Paul Jones' bass. I wonder how much that one would be worth? I think it's a '62, besides the fact he owned and played it. He still has it, too.

I know, guys. Mr. Nylon with another Jazz. There maybe hope though, I still have the USA Geddy Lee Jazz. This has been on the burner, so to speak for sometime, and it's a way for me to get down to two Jazzes.
That Led Zeppelin Jazz player, know's how to play a Jazz, and I guess a few more basses. Noel Redding did fine with an early style Jazz too.

FSB - When I was growing up we had eggs, bacon and toast during the week and pancakes on the weekend for breakfast. Then those were considered "bad" meals. Now they are saying eggs may not be so bad after all. I don't the food is so bad it's all the crap that's added to it that is bad. GMO's, Monsanto taking over everything, growth hormones and antibiotics. Most of my family lived into their 90's eating the good old unmodified foods. You're right, we can't fret over all of it because there are not that many good choices. There is no restriction on using the word "natural" so the manufacturers can use it any way they want to. "Organic" still means something but I think organic foods will become harder to come by so "don't fret" because it is what it is.

Stay healthy everyone!

I'm having a relaxing evening (not far from a Monsanto building on university grounds) enjoying some chocolate, reading the Forum, and reminiscing that when I was a kid, Marky, we lived on a largely chemical free mixed and organic farm for several years due to shortage of neighbourhood housing.

An electric milking machine was even suspect back then. I remember sympathetic and sceptic farmers saying, "Nope. I don't think my cows would like that dang fangled thing". In those days natural and made in one's country meant exactly that. Briefly, times have changed so much with supply and demand. We even have brands of ice cream. that, if it sat on a counter for a week, it could turn grimey and mouldy before it melts. Thankfully, or perhaps not, it's ingested before the chance to reveal it's ugly secret. Being an ice cream lover I don't remember ice cream ever being that way on our, for the most part, dairy farm. Even the real milkshake has become a rare item. As for seafood that's a whole other kettle of fish.
One thing that hasn't changed is that some of the worst things one can devour appears to be some of the best tasting. You are right about eggs. My dietician made me happy when she told me how eggs were better than I thought even with my high cholesterol rating. But, the best news was that jelly beans were considered good for the cause. Bonus! Therefore, I am.
