    Medusae R-Alpha Lipoic Acid – started today

    September 17, 2026 - By ginny

    My latest purchase of magic snake oil. This formulation is supposed to be the right form of ALA for best absorption. It has a pleasant lemon flavor (two droppers sublingually) and I’m taking it for the burning/tingling in my left hand, arm, and left foot. I had been taking various “neuropathy support” gummies, vitamins (magnesium, B12) and capsules. The last products I tried (the vitamins are latest) and an ALA capsule seemed to be working the best, though I did feel some relief from the ALA gummies. the shop.app/p/16023724982606

    Adlai Stevenson Was Actually Pretty Funny

    July 31, 2026 - By ginny

    Running against World War II hero Dwight Eisenhower cannot have been easy. But Adlai Stevenson brought a certain elan to the task. In a 1952 Fresno speech, he said, “I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends … that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them.” On another occasion, when a supporter approached him and declared, “You are every thinking man’s candidate,” he replied, “Thank you madam, but I require a majority.”

    NEW TRIKE DAY in 2 Weeks: Catrike All-Road Etrike

    April 4, 2026 - By ginny

    So I bought a trike today… Not the exact one I test rode a couple of weeks ago, it will be completely Atomic Orange and I opted to add an electric motor. Basically, it will be built for me and final assembly will be at The Bike Rack in St Charles. So imagine this trike in bright Atomic Orange, but with an electric motor instead of the single front chain-ring. It’ll make getting up hills a little easier for me. My left leg is the weak, flollopy one (TM Barbara Good), but on the test ride I was able to…

    Avoid health sharing plans, they’re not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.     Link: Not serious enough to turn on the siren, toddler’s 39-mile ambulance ride still cost over $9,000

    Now he’s reduced to grabbing his own Arc d’Drumpf, so he fired the nay-sayers. Reportedly, he asked the engineers if they could demolish the East Wing at night. So he settled for barriers. And fired the board with oversight on the project. Link: Trump fires federal arts board in charge of reviewing White House ballroom and ‘Arc de Trump’
