Quote from: OSUJillyBean on November 07, 2013, 05:25:49 PMMy grandfather used chewing tobacco. He and Grandma had 10 kids and one car (a station wagon). No a/c. Grandpa would drive with the windows down and spit his tobacco juice out the window. Nobody wanted to sit behind him with the window down! Chewing tobacco is an order of magnitude worse than dog drool. SHUDDER, EWWWW!I can't remember if I posted this a few years ago, but when I worked in the office of a construction company several of the guys all chewed. It made me furious that they would leave their spit cups all over the office and not throw them out. Also, the noises and liquid results when one of the guys had a cold with a lot of sniffing and snorting and horking, and he was still chewing and spitting.....Just about topped my squick limit there.
My grandfather used chewing tobacco. He and Grandma had 10 kids and one car (a station wagon). No a/c. Grandpa would drive with the windows down and spit his tobacco juice out the window. Nobody wanted to sit behind him with the window down!
I was driving down the road yesterday and the tiny car next to me had a LARGE St. Bernard dog riding shotgun in the front seat. He was sticking his head out the window and as they drove his jowls were flapping in the wind. Not gross yet, you say? The window just behind the dog was covered with large quantities of dog drool which flew from his mouth as they were driving.Not exactly high on the gross scale, but could have been less than pleasant if you were behind them, especially on a motorcycle.
...it gives me an opportunity to put liquid fertiliser on some young plants in the garden without risking burning them by mixing it up too strong. So I toddled outside (sneezing) with my little watering can full of diluted seaweed gunk, bent over to sprinkle
and my sinuses drained, all at once. There was this FLOOD of what seemed like a cupful of pale yellow-brown GOO that just poured out of my nose! Eeeeeeurgh!
Most of my contributions to this thread are bodily fluid related, and today is no exception. 2.5yo DD is currently potty training, and she's also a little bit brilliant. She gets hugs, cheers and high fives for every successful attempt. If she manages to stay dry until naptime, or between nap and bed time, she gets a sticker as well. She LOVES stickers. So, what is a brilliant, sticker obsessed child to do when she has an accident right before nap time? Well, those big machines Mommy puts dirty clothes into are in the hall closet right outside her bedroom. Why wouldn't a brilliant, sticker obsessed child simply throw her dirty clothes into that big machine and change into clean clothes? Mommy has been conditioned to accept that said brilliant child will change her clothing approximately 75,000 times per day. So that won't raise any suspicion. It's a perfect plan.The problem is our washer is a top loader. The front loader, that DD can open, is actually the clothes dryer. DD also managed to turn the dryer on.The bigger problem is that the dryer was full of otherwise clean clothes and DD has a history of playing with the dryer. So I heard it running and came to take the clothes out to fold them. I reached in to grab a whole armload of what I thought were clean clothes, and instead ended up with an handful of nastiness. Warm nastiness. Fragrant, aromatic nastiness. The biggest problem is that I try to grab the whole load of laundry in one big arm load to avoid making 2 trips to empty the dryer. So by the time my brain made the necessary connections I was hugging a urine soaked dress to my upper chest/neck region.

We have already had our Bangers and Tatties the other night and will have our corned beef and cabbage dinner tomorrow followed by Irish Eggs Benedict made from the leftovers. Love eating Irish. I see that World Market sells Branston Pickle, will have to get some after reading the post about the Ploughman's lunch, great post- thanks!
Been curing my brisket for 6 days now, it's been very hard not to break down and cook it the last 3 days!
I'm looking forward to the New England Boiled Dinner: corned beef, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage, with horseradish cream and malt vinegar.
Not sure what kind of Irish Soda bread I'll make tomorrow, but I'm sure I'll be in a food coma by 7pm! Which I'd say is an improvement over my previous years state of intoxication by 7pm, less of a hangover.
Not so much a fan of the Irish food, but I'm making the roasted cabbage tonight to go with the asparagus tart AT featured yesterday. I'm still trying to figure out how to love cabbage, so I'll have to try some of these other cabbage recipes, though . . . .

Inside The Largest Simulation Of The Universe Ever Created | Popular Science
Simulating Matter Distribution Across The Cosmos Joe Insley and the HACC team, Argonne National Laboratory.
Sometime next month, the world's third-fastest supercomputer —known as Mira—will complete tests of its new upgraded software and begin running the largest cosmological simulations ever performed at Argonne National Laboratory. These simulations are massive, taking in huge amounts of data from the latest generation of high-fidelity sky surveys and crunching it into models of the universe that are larger, higher-resolution, and more statistically accurate than any that have come before. When it's done, scientists should have some amazing high-quality visualizations of the so-called "cosmic web" that connects the universe as we understand it. And they'll have the best statistical models of the cosmos that cosmologists have ever seen.

Our food system is broken. It's true. I read it on the Internet.
In fact, there are hundreds – if not thousands – of "experts" on the Internet more than happy to inform you that in this modern age of iPhones and iPads, eating is just too dangerous. Further, you should be aware that the food you're eating is not just killing you and your family it's killing the planet, too.
If you were hoping that 2013 might bring some sanity into the discussion about the safety and sustainability of the food American farmers provide, New York Times columnist - and self-proclaimed foodie - Mark Bittman dispelled such notions with his first column of the New Year.
"Heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes kill more than a million people a year – nearly half of all deaths – and diet is a root cause of many of those diseases," Bittman wrote. "And the root of that dangerous diet is our system of hyper-industrial agriculture, the kind that uses 10 times as much energy as it produces."
Wow. That part about agriculture using "10 times as much energy as it produces" without any attribution stopped me dead in my tracks. I guess folks are just supposed to swallow that whopper whole, but Bittman doesn't stop with the criticism.
He says our food system has "been a major contributor to climate change, spawned the obesity crisis, poisoned countless volumes of land and water, wasted energy, tortured billions of animals…I could go on."
There you have it – agriculture is the root of our nation's health and environmental problems. If we believe half of what Bittman claims, those of us who have ever driven a tractor or bucked a bale of hay should feel guilty about contributing to diabetes, heart disease and the melting polar ice caps.
Bittman, however, cares not a whit about whether you or I feel guilty. His objective is to use half-truths, twisted logic and emotionally charged rhetoric to convince gullible Americans that our only source of salvation is to build an organic garden on the balcony of every high-rise in Manhattan, and start eating beef from 5-year-old steers that have been read a bedtime story every night.
Livestock production is one of Bittman's primary targets, as he calls on Americans to "un-invent this food system." Specifically, he calls for a movement to improve the living conditions of livestock.
"Well-cared-for animals will necessarily be more expensive, which means we'll eat fewer of them; that's a win-win," he wrote. "They'll use fewer antibiotics, they'll be produced by more farmers in more places, and they'll eat less commodity grain, which will both reduce environmental damage and allow for more land to be used for high-quality human food like fruits and vegetables."

Parkinson's disease causes certain brain cells to die. They are the cells that help control movement and coordination. The disease leads to shaking (tremors
) and trouble walking and moving
Paralysis agitans; Shaking palsy
Nerve cells use a brain chemical called dopamine to help control muscle movement. With Parkinson's disease, the brains cells that make dopamine
slowly die. Without dopamine, the cells that control movement can't send messages to the muscles. This makes it hard to control your muscles. Slowly over time, this damage gets worse. No one knows what causes these brain cells to waste away.
Parkinson's disease most often develops after age 50. It is one of the most common nervous system problems in older adults.
Symptoms may be mild at first. For instance, you may have a mild tremor or a slight feeling that one leg is stiff and dragging. Symptoms may affect one or both sides of the body.
General symptoms may include:
Movement problems may include:
Symptoms of shaking (tremors):
Other symptoms may include:
Your health care provider may be able to diagnose Parkinson's disease based on your symptoms and a physical exam. But the symptoms can be hard to pin down, particularly in older adults. Symptoms are easier to recognize as the illness gets worse.
The examination may show:
Your doctor may do some tests to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
There is no cure for Parkinson's disease. However, treatment can help control your symptoms.
Your health care provider will prescribe medicines to help control your shaking and movement symptoms. These drugs work by increasing dopamine in your brain.
At certain times during the day, the medicine often wears off and symptoms can return. If this happens, your health care provider may need to change the:
You may also need to take medicines to help with:
Parkinson's medicines can cause severe side effects. They may include:
Tell your doctor right away if you have these side effects. Never change or stop taking any medicines without talking with your doctor. Work with your doctors and other providers to find a treatment plan that works for you.
As the disease gets worse, symptoms such as stooped posture, frozen movements, and speech problems may not respond to the medicines.
Surgery may be an option for some people. Surgery does not cure Parkinson's disease, but may help ease symptoms. Types of surgery include:
Certain lifestyle changes
may help you cope with Parkinson's disease:
Parkinson's disease support groups
can help you cope with the changes caused by the disease.
Medicines can help most people with Parkinson's disease. How well medicines relieve symptoms and for how long can be different in each person.
If not treated, the disorder gets worse until a person is totally disabled. Parkinson's disease may lead to a deterioration of all brain functions and an early death.
Call your health care provider if:
If you take medicines for Parkinson's disease, tell your health care provider about any side effects, which may include:
Also call your health care provider if the condition gets worse and home care is no longer possible.
