I hope they figure out the blood thing, Atropa. That's alarming!

Re: health food - reminder that cheese protects against death from any cause.

That said, I just this morning had a steak mcmuffin and an orange juice because I have it in my head that red meat + vitamin C = iron absorption even though I know that my personal iron issues are not fixable via diet or supplements. I do believe pretty strongly in placebos, though. In general.

You do take vitamin C with iron to help it absorb.

I had my usual spring visit with my family recently with all the birthday parties, softball games, dance recitals, and other assorted events. My dad is still healing from the car accident and my mom hurt her wrist again after getting dizzy spells while recovering from RSV, but everything was reasonably fine! I gently bullied them into letting me do things for them! Came back Sunday night, and then yesterday, tornado touch down! My family is fine, but there's been a ton of damage in the community.

I am le tired.

It was a nerve-wracking few hours there! My brother's been sending a lot of pictures of the destruction.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Fiber is god.

True.

I miss the fiber-filled fruit bars at Trader Joe's. I've never found anything else that my body liked as well for adding easy to tolerate roughage.

Atropa, glad Dad let you know and my thoughts are with you both.

Those were so tasty!
