Re: My own little corner.
My husband has hemochromatosis. In theory, it was caught early before it did much damage. He does the regular phlebotomies: about once every two months. From what I remember of the research that I did when he was first diagnosed, joint pains can be one symptom of iron overload. Much sympathy. It suc...

Re: The Stupid - It Burns!
I know why. Because when you’re on it it makes you feel like a god. That you can do anything— like build a whole house by yourself in a few hours, or write a 1000-page novel before dawn. Sounds a little like a manic phase. Years ago a friend was diagnosed with bi-polar disease in his early twenties...

I'm guessing the nice lady was having similar thoughts to the person saying "Nice doggy" and backing slowly away from the Rottweiler while not making eye contact.

Re: Arrest of CO Pretend Judge Bruce Doucette + Pretend Grand Jury LARPers Stephen Nalty, Steven Byfield, et al.
I wondered what happened with the "sympathetic" alt juror who switched at the last minute. If female, perhaps she is one of those excessively socialized women who automatically smile anyone who makes eye contact and hence they thought she was sympathetic. (I also tend to smile automatically.)

Re: All Dogz Worthy
My Miniature Schnauzer was prescribed phenobarbitol for cluster seizures for several years. Rion doesn't have gentle, stare-into-space seizures, but violent, fling-the-dog-across-the-room seizures. His first seizure occurred when he was two and a half. He had seven seizures in twenty-seven hours bef...

Duane Ehmer was apparently kicked by a horse. Not Hellboy, but a horse named ‘Bunny’ whose IQ probably eclipses Duane Ehmer’s. Ol' Duane was in his full stars and stripes regalia, several layers thick, so he didn't feel a thing, most likely. I wonder if his underwear is made out of American flags? ...

Re: Fire!
I found this answer on Quora: (I had guessed this myself.)

2. Sea water cannot be used to put out forest fires / wild fires because the salinity is detrimental to plant life in general.
