(never touched drugs)

Although when I go out I find it reallllllly hard to get into it if I havn't drank.

stuff like this always makes me lol

I also have never touched drugs but when I go out find it really hard to get into it if I haven't had a couple of lines

I've almost decided to start taking a daily dose of Aspirin. Not to cure any ailment, but more & more I become convinced that it is really a clever & useful thing.

It's gone in & out of fashion more times than enough - it's good for you, it's bad for you, dum de dum - but on balance, & as with everything, all things in moderation, it might just be the greatest.  

There was a great piece about it on the wireless last night - it was first patented by Bayer, of all peeps, back in 1890 something.

I hear that cod liver oil is good for you, too. Will you be taking any of that?

Nothing cod liver oil could do would induce me to take it.

Does it really come from the livers of Cod? Why not from the livers of haddock, or skate, or herrings?

They sell it in little tablets now. I take it in a combined Calcium/Cod liver Oil pill, although I don't know whether the stuff actually works or not.

Is it supposed to have restorative powers?

Nah, just maintain supple bones and joints and that sort of nonsense. My left shoulder joint is pretty much F'ed but this seems to help..though it might just be excersise. Who knows, some scientific studies claim that cod liver oil helps and the calcium thing is supposed to be good as well..... it can't hurt I guess.

Cod liver oil isn't pure cod liver oil in most tablets, sometimes there is shellfish in amongst other goodies too so it's worth checking labels for anything you could be allergic to.

One of the latest variants of cod liver oil tablets contain Glucosamine which helps to maintain a healthy heart, circulation & connective tissue (cartlidge cartilage & joints).

The Glucosamine variety are more expensive but are supposed to give more benefits. I find them better personally as I don't taste the oil all day after having one and they do help with my creaky knees and less than perfect circulation due to years of nicotine abuse!

Very informative.

I'm going to claim that it was an attempt at humour on my part.

Incredible scenes. Harrowing and astonishing in equal measures

I've been Offline & a bit out of touch for a few days, & have been trying to catch up on it today.

It's just so awful, but gripping, too, I feel like a gawper watching it, but it's so compelling to watch.

I sort of need to contextulise it, so I try to imagine it happening somewhere in the UK.

And we cannot do a thing to help. Money is not the problem, nor is volunteer help. I don't do religion, or Church, either, but shorn of ideas, I almost feel like praying.

No 'leccy, or a huge lack of, will be the real crunch. Imagine it happening here, in the UK.  No 'leccy means no almost anything - comms, functioning Hossies, transport systems totally disabled, no internet, heat, shelter, even access to buildings, nothing. Looters will be happy, too.

The numbers dead or missing are beyond comprehension, too. I heard 10,000 this morning, but as I've not been able to follow the story since Friday evening, I've no idea, I can't judge it yet. The single fact that alerted me to the scale of it on Friday was that a train was "unaccounted for". How can a whole 800 ton train go missing? Now I hear three are missing.

I believe about 3,000 folks perished in WTC 9/11, & here we are talking, maybe, three times that? Oh my God. The story has  peculiar "slow-burn" to it, it's scale is so vast. In coming week & months, it may become the largest news story of my time.

Nucleur power will need to be re-addressed, too. We want meet demand without it, but we are an indulgent world, & we can't live without it.

Ann whilst all this was going off, I was at a Poker Tourney, as happpy as Larry.

Beyond imagination.

If they were special effects in a disaster movie, you'd scoff at their impossibility.

I don't know what to say or think.
