    DMSO for healing

    Yep, D3 is best unless you are on therapeutic doses of D2, but that would be under a doctor's supervision.

    Random Tips & Tricks

    I have suggested to others to use a silicone-based lubricant on car door seals in the winter for those in cold climates. It prevents the doors from freezing shut in winter if they get wet. We have a lot of experience in dealing with the cold. Vegetable oil can be used in places that come in...

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    I think the real "Basic" American unit of currency was not the Dollar, but was the Eagle and the Dollar was defined as 1/10 of an Eagle just as a Cent is 1/100 of a Dollar. The Dollar became more useful since originally only the wealthy owned Eagles and a Dollar was the standard daily wage...

    Noisy Neighbors!

    We live in the boonies, although not as remote as we once were, and we frequently here gunshots. I always wonder: hunting, target shooting, murdering someone.... We generated our own noise in years past with roosters (we still have one) and a dog team. Of course, there are snow machine and...

    Cody's Health Problems

    That is great @Cody Fousnaugh that you didn't have to pay that bill. My experience has been worse than that, but as I said if was during the past administration. Maybe it has all gotten fixed. Keep the EOBs from TriWest as you are and keep record of any payments you do make for copay and such...

    Trump blows up drug smugglers

    With President Trump's introduction of the U.S. military into the drug was--making it a REAL war--he has now chosen to execute drug smugglers who are bringing drugs into the country before they get here. Last night a drug boat carrying eleven members of Tren de Agua who were attempting to...

    TONY' THOUGHT JOURNAL 2.0

    I know the feeling @Tony Page, but I think you have people who love you and want you to stick around as long as possible. Congrats to both you and @Cody Fousnaugh for being able to suffer through all this stuff.

    The last thing you watched TV & Film

    I have been watching silly stuff from the past like Knight Rider, Night Court, Hogan's Heroes, etc. If my wife can stay awake, she likes Vera on Britbox, but she usually falls asleep. I watch Morse and Cadfael. I watched Bosch in the past, but lost interest as the daughter became more prominent.

    Nation states are moving from U.S. Treasuries to gold as a reserve. It could be bad news for the U.S. Dollar and the ability of the U.S. to finance their debt.

    Cody's Health Problems

    Hopefully that is true. I have had the TriWest issue a statement that I didn't owe anything only to receive a bill 2 years later for hundreds of dollars. It turns out the VA doesn't always bill third party insurers. If you have a third party, you can push it through by calling the VA billing...

    What is going on in the UK!

    I have seen some American online people say they cannot visit the UK or even pass through Heathrow for fear of being detained for things they have posted online critical of the UK government. Really sad!

    Last thing you've done when offline?

    Busy day today. Today was Senior Shopping Day at the local Kroger affiliate, so that was first. We gotta get there before all those "darn old people" who plug up the aisles when they can't find stuff or decide what they want.:) Then we went to the fair to pick up stuff that my wife entered...

    Fast food

    Sometimes algin is used in cheap ice creams to make them solid. If it is very cheap, there might be enough in it to keep the stuff solid at room temperature or above. If you are familiar with agar, algin and other seaweed products are similar. As far as I know, they are not harmful, but they...

    Cody's Health Problems

    Total PSA is a measure of prostate damage, so it can be elevated due to infection, injury, cancer, or probably quite a number of other causes. As far as I know, the free PSA is not useful if the total PSA is over 10. It is used to differentiate cancer from other causes if the total is between...

    What is going on in the UK!

    We'll see what if anything happens to Starmer. I was signed in to YouTube in the UK via my VPN, and low and behold I was watching a video and the screen pops up with "You must be signed in to watch this video". I am definitely not used to that level of censorship. We have some, but much of...

    Disruption in the CDC.

    Apparently RFK, Jr. has fired the new director of the CDC just a short time after her confirmation over her advocacy of intensive vaccination schedules for children in the U.S. , including Covid and other injections. We'll see how this all turns out.

    What is going on in the UK!

    I appears that UK courts have decided that asylum seekers have more rights that citizens and legal residents of the UK. It sounds crazy, and the government appears to be behind it all. What is the story @galty ?

    DMSO for healing

    I would also point out that vitamin K2 will help prevent the accumulation of calcium in soft tissues. Vitamin D and vitamin K2 should be taken by everyone over 35.
