I carry this pill container

That's very cute. For a container that carries things (I'm going to feel safe saying) we'd mostly rather not have to take. I need compartments, or I'd mess up the daily regimen. All hopped up on calcium one day, strung out on fish oil the next...

So, this is very old, but if anyone is still interested in checking out that article on carseats from Consumer Reports, or indeed any other article, you might want to consider checking with your local library before subscribing. It may be available online through one of your library's online databases. Alternatively, they may be willing to scan and send it to you. At last resort, you could actually stop by the library and use their copy. Most public libraries subscribe to Consumer Reports.

It's a pretty damn cool knife, is all I'm sayin'.

Ulus are the bestest.

I am so full right now, I don't even know. That's what I get for ordering a whole pizza plus cheesy bread instead of walking around the corner for a slice. Or two.

The cat did the most uncatlike thing ever: after yelling at me didn't work at getting me to pick up her ribbon to play (hello! Busy washing dishes!) she took the hem of my pants in her teeth and tugged.

Freaky.

I can't fit all my pills into any daily dispenser I've found. I take ten and a half prescription pills a day, and about four over the counter ones.

Mmm, pizza. I could eat a whole one right now.

Laga, you're right, I don't really want to cook. I would love it if you would cook for me! except I'm in New Jersey, which I believe is an entire continent away from your cooking self. Alas.

Theodosia, I'm glad your shoulder problems are relatively easy to diagnose and fix! Physical therapy exercises are like magic. When I do mine twice a day, my back is almost like normal.

::cough:: Unsolicited information for the inflammation-afflicted: Quercetin and fish oil are both good for reducing inflammation. Helped me get from 1600 mg of ibuprofen per day to 600 mg or less. Other things are good too, but those are the ones I know personally. We're quite close, really.

I can't believe how gorgeous the weather was today. January 6, and it's nearly 70 degrees and sunny. I expect we're going to pay for it by getting hammered with a couple blizzards in February, and having a terribly hot summer.

I've been meaning to ask: What is kettlebell?

I'm always on the lookout for a meds holder for my grandmother to use -- I don't know how many pills she takes, exactly, but she uses a weekly thingy for her daily meds. Ugh!

I could use something - even if it just held the am drugs. Really, my pocket is not the best place for them

I've been meaning to ask: What is kettlebell?

I'm a little migraine-exhausted to expound properly, but basically a kettlebell is a spherical lump of iron (comes in various weights) with a curved handle. Kettlebell the exercise regimen involves various movements of this bell, mostly centred around swinging it--more continuous arcs of motion than with traditional free weights and weight machines. Most everything involves the core stabilisation muscles, and your quads get one hell of a workout too.

A9 maps is gone! I wanted to use it to find the name of a restaurant down the street from a known business, and was planning to check the pictures of the storefronts moving eastwards, but no luck. I can't think of how else to find out the restaurant name.

Huh. I'm watching last night's Numb3rs, and it took me half an hour to completely fail to identify Teri Polo, although it was driving me crazy.

The interesting thing about this episode is that it's clearly about Raoul Jeffs and the fundamentalist Mormons in southern Utah, except the writers were very very careful never to name LDS or the Mormons.

Interesting synchronicity, since I read Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven on the plane over the holidays, which is all about those communities. Fantastically well-written book, although deeply, deeply disturbing.
