Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you're eating the right sorts of fish (i.e. fatty)

Um... which are those?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Thanks for all the salt info, guys! I made four fruitcakes and luckily only two were saltless, although I think those two might have been overcooked as well. The saltless ones did have a low rise in comparison, but since I age them, I can't taste them. This recipe turned out to be a pain because I made the fruit mixture on Sunday and couldn't bake it until last night.

Salmon is one.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Um... which are those?

Salmon & tuna are the ones I can think of immediately.

Unfortunately, besides salmon, the general list is mackeral, herring, sardines.

What is even happening?

bon bon, if they're aging in booze, I really wouldn't worry about the taste thing.

Um... which are those?

I think cold water fish -- salmon, mackerel, sword fish, trout, blue fish. On the other hand, at least some of those are generally found to have high levels of mercury.

Oh goody. I eat more salmon than anything else....

The status is NOT quo.

After its victory in last year’s fight over a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Virginia, the Family Foundation of Virginia announced Thursday that it will push to change the state’s divorce laws to make it more difficult for parents to end their marriage.

Sometimes I hate people.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Um. I started taking vitamins and other supplements without making any other changes and I felt a hell of a lot better. I can tell the difference when I stop.

When I get completely exhausted for prolonged periods of time (>1 week), I take 1,000 mg of vitamin C every day for a couple of weeks and I feel much better.

It's not scientifically controlled, so I can't deliver a conclusion that might satisfy bon bon, but in the absence of making any other changes, it seems to me that the vitamin C helped a great deal.

A lot of external situations deplete vitamins from your body more rapidly than normal -- stress, smoking, diseases -- and I don't think it's unusual that people might need supplements to make up that shortfall.

That said, I'm not implying that every human, everywhere, MUST take vitamin supplements and must take the exact same amounts or OMGSCURVY!!! People in first-world countries, in general, do get an adequate amount of nutrients from their food, even if they subsist on junk food. This is true. But the question is -- is "adequate" enough?
