JeffG, Caffeine Jeff, where is your science? That was the whole point of the studies - to deal with unsupported claims about the diuretic effects of those beverages. Have a look at page 26 of Fluids for Life...

Hyrdration, Fluids for Life Here is a great monograph that Dr. Grandjean authored. Her expertise in hydration takes her around the world (India, China most recently and Bangkok this fall. And I still haven't been able to get her to sail with me...

Wet is Wet If the issue is hydration, you should check this link. I am general counsel to a scientific research entity whose CEO until her retirement this summer was Dr. Ann Granjean. You might google the terms Grandjean and hydration. Grandjean was the chief investigator in a couple of recent...

More on taxes ...and, so, our government, with a priority lien, will probably be in the music business as well as the car business. This can't be good.

Death "and taxes" Obviously I cannot speak to any "sheltering devices" that may or may not have been employed, but the portion of his estate which transfers after death and exceeds $3.5 million is subject to a 45% Federal Estate Tax. Gosh, if he hadn't gotten into so much financial trouble we...

Sanford While I am sure he would have never wished MJ ill, I suspect there is a governor in South Carolina who is feeling some relief.

1987 I thought Prick Up Your Ears was very well done. Pretty sad, but, to me, seemed like a serious flick. I'm not exactly an LGBT fan - more of a movie buff.

Logic? ...but your "truth"/logic would suggest that congress would not have voted to get into WWII. In your argument, you presume that personal issues will override fiduciary responsibility. And do we simply ignore the exceptions, those who had children 'at risk'? Outliers?

Okay, so the ladies at the thrift shop kind of know the stuff I am interested in - certain appliances, etc. Well, they held a hula doll aside for me. And, well, I happend to have a Ken that I had been working with and, well, y'all gots ta click on this short YouTube link. I think you will like...

Sending kids to war This is a specious argument. Requiring children of elected representatives to enlist - or requiring pregnant unwed children of representatives to get an abortion or requiring them not to, or requiring judges to be executed before sentencing anyone to execution, or any other...

Hyprocrit If we exclude all persons who do or say hyprocital things from our support, our failure is guaranteed. Finding a label and attaching it to someone is pretty easy. And that is what happens when you simply don't like someone - analysis and debate ends, and labelling and name calling...

....what goes on in a related organization.... I am interested in issues. I know (way to well) about the bickering and off-thread nastiness that can go on. There are probably some cultural issues there that we cannot address because we need to be so careful. But back to the issues: Long, long...

Muzzling? I can't get on board with "muzzling" speech. That is exactly what that "out there" Limbaugh would say would be your response. Why hand him such a bouguet? If good ideas require the "muzzling" of other ideas, then they aren't good ideas.

a...what? I meant to say "Quite a reception from the AW folks."

Quite a from the AW folks I happen to believe that Cheney means what he says about gay rights. But then I happen to travel in circles where most of the Republicans and conservatives I encounter support gay rights. But it appears that this group refuses to accept the support, or even supporting...

Mangle Barbie Trailer Here is my "value added" mangle:

Kenmore Model 110.93630 My mangle is a Kenmore, in great shape. When I have some time, I will remove the innards and turn it into a Barbie trailer (like I did with my other one). See next.

60's, Truly an Adventure The 60's for me was a time of stimulating adventure. What fun! What excitement! What a trip! Free association: Studied Chinese Combat missions in Vietnam Got laid Occasional gentle buzz from Marijuana San Francisco Nepenthe at Big Sur Nude beaches Music, music, music...

Coffee pots Just let me know if you want me to bring my welder and some rebar and we can put together a "pot plant" -- say about 8 feet high. After some decent libation and the light starts to fade we can enjoy the falling sparks from the construction. What fun, Greg, thanks for sharing.

Greg If you have space for the 29, it is yours with my compliments. I just wanted to save it from the riff raff. And, uh, yes I would have considered turning it into a rocket or something. BTW, 'the wife' would never appreciate it (neither would her cleaning crew).
