A stock market thread ends with a discussion on Gout. I don't know that a thread ever ends where it started around here..........:~)

I have eaten mountains of tart cherries, and buckets of the cherry juice, and cut out alcohol almost completely, and haven't had a relapse, so far.

interesting! I do like tart cherries when they are dried so I’m sure the cherry juice is very good.

Wrong. Doses aren’t being used because some people refuse to be vaccinated, for whatever reasons. I got my shot through my the hospital group my...

Wrong. No mass vacc sites at all in my state. Appointments are going unused and vacc days going cancelled making staff nervous about their...

IL - Try Montmorecy tart cherry juice. YLMV but worth a try.

Why not go to a mass vaccination site? What's the big deal?

I tried again today to look for a vaccine. I started with my doctor's medical group and they are booked up. I then looked online and saw one site a...

well, mine is self diagnosed. I have had this off and on for a few years and I could never figure out if it was a form of arthritis* because it...

You have my deep sympathies. I had my first (and hopefully only) attack just about a year ago, and it's not as funny as it looks in historical dramas.

Today I was thinking about the thread as Joe Biden’s stock market reached a record high in the Dow. I also had gout in my foot last week.

Wow, IL, that is super helpful!!!!

Oh good! I placed a big order last year from Brett and Becky, including some tiny species tulips that are in bloom now. Well one set is in bloom...

Hunh. I’m sure there’s nothing nefarious about this or anything to worry about, but I just find this odd.They have a contract to deliver a check to...

Wow, this is really neat. Please post picture with open blooms!

Because the wife is in California and the husband in Texas for work.

I haven’t seen an aloe plant flower either, cool.

So why didn’t it close again?

1 hour today cleaning up our guest room into which a fair amount of clutter had migrated. New total: 29. It's always a good sign at our house...

yea for the original quote the concept is supposed to be artistic I suppose and the consumption non-material (mostly), so it's supposed to be don't...

Razz, Sure. The flowers at the bottom open first. Six are open today. I estimate there are about 100 flower buds in total. When the the last...

I'm not insulted. It was a joke. I thank you for your service, and I respect you opinion, however it may differ from mine.

To paraphrase a great man, I will not insult your intelligence by inferring you believe what you just said. I spent seven years in an...

Oh, I am. There’s always a fly in the ointment and the import supervisor seems to be it. Chick seems to be very disorganized and ignores her emails....

In my first condo I had the refacing done with solid oak and it was beautiful. It cost 6k 22 years ago but they still look beautiful. I saw my old...

Our cabinets are this way both in town and the cabin-which were all built by hubster. Love them. Ours are wood-not painted. No collection of grime...

Most of the winter, I hope our road clearing crews are as obsessive as yours are. St. Paul has a reputation metro-wide for doing the worst job at...

Cutouts for fingers...best. Idea. Ever! DH built our kitchen cabinets with that, and I ordered that from our Amish cabinet makers for my condo....

DW came up from the basement yesterday declaring that the washing machine no longer worked. She pulled on the switch to start and ... nothing. I...

Sand trucks were out in some towns - I saw them on my ride into work - but not in my city by the time I left.

Yeah, we have had snow all morning, and I am hoping it will be gone by tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, by Sunday. My rosebushes I planted hope so,...

So my house and condo were supposed to close today and it’s not happening. The buyers will be in the same town on Monday so will sign in California....

They're going to sand? If it snowed here on April 16 (where we get five feet of snow a year) they'd just wait the day or two it would take to melt....

You are so. cynical. Thou doth protest too much. I think you're a closet socialist.

Make the best of the time you have---and determine for yourself what your "best" is.

I interpret it as persuade your workforce and shareholders to contribute more for less, and you’ll be able to afford an ex wife and and a fleet of...

Pinkytoe, this is a wonderful idea for a thread!

Don't care about the "who" that is saying it, but I like the phrase as well as the ones others have posted. To me, it is a reminder of many things as...

I'm not sure about that. I'm sitting on the same lumpy car seat as I was before. LOL.

Yeah, if you consider the source it could be a 'belch..'--keep your workers creating for you--but I like to look at it in another context--a more...

It’s important to emit inspirational phrases like this to shareholders who might otherwise demand a dividend.

It is a good thought to remind oneself of the importance of each individual's contribution and impact. If a phrase has been used before in some form...

Yes, Yppej, the key is acceptance! I used to have an eating disorder and weighed quite a bit (I'm sure I was a size 16 or larger) when I started to...

I got rid of 3 items through my local Buy Nothing group. Total for month: 10.

outside of the context of Bezos, a lot of creativity/art consumes stuff as well (well think if it creates physical things anyway). inside the...

I too adore my car. It's a 2003 Subaru Forester with almost 259,000 miles. It was semi-retired last year since I walk to work now but my cousin's...

Almost 30 hours since my first Moderna and the only side effect has been a sore arm. Just the injection site mostly. Fingers crossed that's it...

I googled the phrase and it is used frequently by those promoting superior human achievement. Excel by not consuming your hours with routine,...

I had a feeling it would be announced that annual boosters would be the next step along with a third shot after six months. It is taking all my guts...

The $2,000 I spent for kitchen resurfacing about 15 yrs ago (new doorfronts, drawerfronts, and painting) was the best $2,000 I ever spent. My old...

I’m stunned that 60% wanted J&J but refused moderna. Personally I’m excited by the news that moderna is working on a booster covid shot for the...

The only food purchase in the last 13 days is Greek yogurt for hubster's breakfasts and decaf coffee beans for me. I won't go to the store for...

I'm stepping down so you can shop less now:~)

Hmmmmm, why do you think it was rushed to market? Many many medical marvels have come into use over the last 4 decades with EUA. Some devices never...

I don't have 30 but mine are doing well. My rhubarb is very slow this year though.

I had never thought about an aloe blooming or what it might look like so this is interesting. Would you please share a photo of when the blooms open.

The batch of tulip bulbs I ordered from Brent and Becky's is off to a good start this spring. I use cages to prevent herbivores from eating them.

The spring peepers are peeping, and the garlic is sprouting. At least 30 garlic plants are "up and at-'em" today.
