WTF-Beta

We were a little low this year, only 47. Usually 55. But we give great packets of treats.

Just saw this right now.

It is difficult to buy that they believe in meritocracy when they pull this crap.

Ohio had yet another constitutional amendment on the ballot to require photo ID to vote. We already have to show photo id. I voted against it as I do not believe it belongs in the state constitution.

Yeah, I got that email even though I never bought one.

Omeprazole could do it I guess. Janet has been on it for esophageal issues and I’m trying to get her off it. It has a link to dementia although that’s still pretty early on and may not prove true, correlation not equaling causation.

But yeah, you need to see your GI. Not sure the PCP is the right guy for this.

I can’t speak for everyone but I’m pretty weary of highly edited “journalism” that seldom gives you the real picture.

Daniel, are you on any meds that might cause malabsorption? Even otc antacids can do that. I’d recommend starting off with adding full fat probiotic yogurt to your diet. Maybe a healthier gut flora would help.

I see a growing threat and actual actions taken by a group of religious wack jobs tearing down the separation of "church" and state and flat out ignoring the constitution to be more of a threat to modern civilization then any of the made up "threats" created by the far right.

I wholly agree.

I voted yesterdy. It was the most mixed bag ever for me - Dems, Libertarians and Republicans.

The early polling place was rocking and very well managed.

My SIL was friends with her at DePauw. Not sure if they kept in touch.

Well I knew what it meant, if not how to spell it.

This from a Howli boy...

Not even that. Not even Hugh Hefner's bed with all his Playmates.

Doesn't sound like my idea of a life.

Hey, Steve... Christmas is coming.

Good decision. Long may she run.

OK. I was going to chime in with "If you have an old Maytag, repair it if possible. Even if it's near the cost of new you'll likely get more use out of it.".

Incidentally, I was in Maytag's hometown this week, Newton, Iowa again. Sadly, Maytags are no longer produced there but there are a lot of spaces and magnificent old buildings that the Maytag legacy built. We stayed a block from this dining/entertainment area utilizing the courtyard and buildings by the old Maytag HQ and factory.

You might want to slip up to Domino Farms in Ann Arbor. Buffalo herd, petting farm (with Highland cattle), Watusi cattle, a veritable zoo and a quarter mile long FLW-inspired office building. Entire bottom floor is basically an art gallery. I worked there for UM in 2010. It was so much fun to sit in my office and watch the baby buffalo play. Ann Arbor is a great town (better in warm weather).

Oh yum. Blue cheese olives are great, as are jalapeno. I can't imagine truffle and olives together.
