My hypothesis is that it's a genetic adaptation to pollution which enables homo sapiens to rise above what settles to ground level.

Depends who you breed with I think.
My sister is the shortest of all of us and she has a daughter even shorter than herself.
Luckily, she's bred with a tall man, so hopefully the rot stops there.

Neither Steven nor I are inclined to participate in the experiement anyway, so the data may be skewed.

I feels like a crone, lola bunny, I FEELS it.

for some reason for the past six months I've been feeling a bit like i'm on chemo====legs ache constantly, knees are killing me like spikes, hips, lower back---all ache and hurt all day long and night, too. I get up to take advil. and I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiired (Madeline Kahn voice) I can only manage one 'thing' a day and I'm killed. I've heard I need iron, vitamin D, a bone scan...all that. gotta wait till after the holidays though as I'm tapped out and can't even afford my doc co-pay!

but I'm really creaky and horribly old. at least in my joints.

PS that glucosomine chondroitine stuff? it's like 40.00 a bottle!!!!!!!!!!!

$40 a bottle?? A generic brand costs much less than that. My mom'a doc said it's ok for her so that what I get for her. Would it be ok for you to take the generic brand?

What Were the Last Words Spoken on the Moon?

Probably not, alas, "let's get this mother out of here" ..

Forty years ago, December 14 at 5:54:37 p.m. EST, humans left the moon for the last time.
But how did the three men who made that departure -- taking their last small steps,
their last great leaps from the lunar surface -- mark that occasion?
What parting words did they leave to the moon, and to their fellow humans, and to history?
<snip>

If my wife had been there, the last words would have been:
"Wait, I forgot to turn off the coffee pot"

I think that WAS generic!!

can I be rude and ask how much per bottle you pay?

[Pico and ME]

Tril, hows your diet? What are you eating everyday? Are you getting enough protein at every meal?

Probably not. I'm eating a lot of grains and those veggie burgers that you buy frozen and heat up-----but only b/c I've been too lazy to eat well and I don't trust frozen meat burgers you can microwave. I feel really good on Atkins but it's very expensive...all that meat...cheese; but I feel good and energized when I do it.

Iron supplements are pretty cheap and can be had OTC. Might be a good place to start. After I had the baby, I was anemic enough to be at "needs a blood transfusion" levels and I felt exhausted, but taking iron supplements helped perk me back up.

How long did it take before you felt better?

Not rude at all. I don't remember exactly, I got it at Costco. It was like $18 or $20 or so.

It's hard to say since I was also recovering from a C-section and dealing with a newborn, but... probably a month? My blood was literally the consistency of Kool-Aid and I didn't have the energy for much of anything. I'm still taking them four months later. There's iron in the multivitamin I take, but if I stop taking an additional supplement I can feel the exhaustion set in within a day or two.

My husband takes B12 vitamins and they help his energy level a lot. Maybe just start with a good multi?

My sis and I are fighting and we're not getting anywhere with reconciliation.

[Lola Bunny]

So sorry to hear, MTP.

[morethanpretty]

Went to the doc last night, I've got an pharyngitis with an upper respiratory infection. Oh and did I mention I had balloon sinuplasty and a tonsillectomy only 20 days ago? Yup, recovery is going so well.
