"Now I'm decidedly dyspeptic."Are you looking for help with that?

"have a goobie inspection while serving desert. "Tapioca dessert is best for this."An acidophilus supplement should also be used after taking a course of antibiotics to correct the intestinal bacteria balance that antibiotics disrupt."Totally true, although a good meal with NATURAL yoghurt is excellent too. I actually drink the acidophilus milk that's available in many grocery stores. "As always if in doubt, consult your health care professional who will most likely, have no idea about these things."You sure summed that up well. In fact, the naturopathic doctor should probably be your primary health provider, the health food store the second, and then you can consider mainstream alternatives.

If you are actually ill, you can take several grams of Vitamin C daily, and the body will reject any excess it doesn't need (by giving you the shits), but that type of dosage should not be used when you are well. In fact, Vitamin C, if used in excessive amounts on a regular basis, is one of several causes for kidney stones (don't ask me how I know), so use it in low amounts when used as a preventative.

Geez, Jason. I get that all the time. I found that simply wadding a handkerchief into both nostrils works pretty good. It looks a bit funny, dangling over my mouth with two tips stuck up my nose, but hey, it's really practical. I think the worse part of the cold is when you start to actually plug up, and you cannot swallow without popping your eardrums. Now THAT really sucks. That's about when you lose your sense of taste too, so all food tastes pretty much like I would think sawdust tastes, except of course, cedar sawdust, which would probably taste like cedar potpourri. Only a short way down the road, you're going to get to that wonderful stage, the big greeny. I LOVE that time. You kinda close your mouth, and suck back out of your sinuses with your tongue (this is hard to describe) and you slowly but surely suck huge tapeworm-like greenies out of those cavities. Careful though!!! You absolutely do NOT want to use your lungs to get extra power, because if you do, and one of those suckers lets go, you just about choke to death when it gets in your lungs. I particularly like to check out the result, as it lies there, snaking around on my tongue. Are there hard bits? Is it all one color? All thick, or does it narrow from one end to the other? Is it sort of translucent, or or opaque, or best of all, multi-hued and going from almost clear to nearly solid at the far end. Ah, you are in for a major treat my friend, a major treat.

Talking about misdialing, I got a very chipper "Good morning sunshine" one time, at 3:50 a.m. I was thoroughly pissed off, particularly since I didn't recognize the voice. I snarled a query, as to who might this intruder be, and she said something about maybe she had misdialed, but I didn't need to be so snarky about it. "Well, how would you feel getting a wrong number call at 4 a.m?" I snarled once again. "What? What do you mean, it's almost 7 a.m." "Uh, what number did you call?" She proceeded to give me a number that matched mine exactly, but when I asked for the area code, the error was clear. She'd dialled MY area, the west coast of North America, but wanted one on the east coast, 3 hours different in time zones. By this point, I'd almost become human again, and we both had a good laugh over it.

[56. Doors of Love II]

Maybe Cole meant for you to continually, at all hours of the day and night, to misdial the boys' phone number?

[Stupid Jason, Doing Stupid Things]

Hmm. Maybe I got that the wrong way around, and you're feeding HIM the story lines and characters.Then again, maybe truth IS stranger than fiction. The high road is a lonely place.

[Stupid Jason, Doing Stupid Things]

How in HELL'S NAME did you get Cole Parker to write you into a story like that?

[55. The Doors Of Love]

And a digital camera.

[Interesting]

A joke works so well when explained, doesn't it? I actually GOT IT before you explained, so there. We're both part of a sorry lot.

[An Explanation to Appease Cole And Trab]

So, do you still have a problem with foreskin? For that matter, have you run into one of those Body Modification bifurcation people yet? Now THAT will set you screaming. I've only seen pictures, but it's taken my balls days to come back out from hiding, and my poor little fella disappeared so far that I needed to sit down to pee.

[An Explanation to Appease Cole And Trab]

You did good, Jason, real good. You wouldn't want some old fuckers like Cole and me to die of terminal curiosity, and I'm sure I can speak for Cole that we both appreciate this very much.It is too sad about Mark, but you did the right thing for yourself by refusing to 'get into it' with him. As for the chocolate thing, maybe it is best this way. Now they're starting to spout off about sweets killing people with heart attacks faster than smokes will kill them. Christ, you'd think they hadn't figured out that birth is the first step in the journey towards death. We're all going to die; I guarantee it. It's just a matter of how much or how little you let yourself enjoy the journey.

[happy new year my ass]

So true, Cole. Maybe it is all related? One thing led to another and finally a visit to the hospital.

[happy new year my ass]

My God, Jason; you have the nerve to tell us you were in hospital and not tell us what is wrong and whether or not you are improving. Shame on you. You should know by know that many of us really care about you. And the thought of having sex with a great looking nurse is NOT being a pervert. Hell, just having that thought is enough to know you're not TOO badly off.

[55. The Doors Of Love]

Frankly, Des, I thought YOU were going to break into song. That was truly delightful, and I only got the verbal description, not the full visual effect. Awesome. Totally.You know that the reason the door stopped was the photocell safety system was activated when his front wheel passed by it, right? You know, it might be fun for you to help teach them about such things.

[Passion, Beliefs and the New Year.]

Nice analysis, Des. I hope I get a happy 15 minutes too. Oh, I know I will. I get pleasured just reading all the good stories on AD and CW. One thing though, and that is some peoples' beliefs actually incorporate the belief that they need to spread their beliefs, by force if necessary. That's where the real ugliness comes out.

[Aussie xmas greeting]

Sorry Des, but there truly is nothing worse than a bad piece of tail...light. :wav: (I can't believe I just said that.) :wav:

[Novel approach]

Brilliant!!!! :wav:

[Might]

You'll write something when you're officially hired? Well then, I hope you write really soon!

[Blog entry the first (BEI)]

I'm glad we made you happy. I know your own posts bring us pleasure, too. :)

[Blog entry the first (BEI)]

Fighting the good fight when you know you cannot win is the hallmark of good literature, not a good life. Don Quixote is a good example.

[Blog entry the first (BEI)]

I'm not very good at introductions.

Well, you certainly fooled all of us. Welcome. PS. I don't think I have too much of a philosophy thing going for myself. Live life with the greatest of pleasure and the least impact on the rest of the world; fight only if you have a chance of winning, otherwise, move on.

[(51) It's a blog, it's a blog!]

Ha. I blame him, and he needs a good spanking.

[(51) It's a blog, it's a blog!]

"I know some people have confused their logs."OMG. Either error is horrible. Spanking the wrong log? EeewwwwwwFlushing the wrong log? Ooooowwwwww.

[(51) It's a blog, it's a blog!]

I would recommend a pointed stick, and the use of cuneiform if he is going to do this, not to mention latex gloves and a nose plug. I don't know about elsewhere, but in Canada, a slang term, 'log', describes a brown thingy dropped into the toilet, for flushing.
