@gumpy

I was doing some reading in a few of my herb books about gout. Cherry and celery seed capsules will help if your gout is due to poor circulation. Both promote good circulation. If it’s a chronic condition you might also try tea made from eastern red cedar, a few leaves and the little blue/whiteish berries (Juniperus virginiana). It helps a lot of health conditions, even diabetes. Sassafras tea will help gout too. I know you know how to make sassafras tea. Sassafras is also a blood thinner so be careful if you are taking a thinning medication. It’s nice to have a lot of options.

You can get celery seed capsules at Walmart but I don’t trust wm. They got in trouble a few years ago about the quality of dietary supplements they sell. Is there a good health food store near you? I have to be careful of side effects when I take anything. I’m the poster child for those.

I thought the phrase "Health Food" was an oxymoron! Lol. Seriously tho, I haven't noticed any health food stores in Savannah, but we just moved here in July. Plus Savannah is a 30 minute drive so we don't go very often. I have tried the black cherry juice but it's hard to find, and I'd never heard of the black cherry pills. Cherry Pie sounds really good right now!

Three inches of snow and a whole city of incompetent drivers.

Sounds like a typical winter driving day

Which is why until now I have avoided the city like a democratic gun convention. LOL

I was all about leaving the city/suburbs

Fifteen years living 30 miles from the moron district has made me ultra sensitive about stupidity like I experienced today.

. @buildit We have plenty of morons and moron drivers in the sticks, they are just not as concentrated. The killer out here is the two lane main mountain highway and big rig drivers who shouldn’t be behind the wheel. Hardly a day goes by without a rig accident or two, worse when the weather is bad

[The Innkeeper]

I don’t know that they would be any safer on a tricycle

 

[gumpy]

@gumpy how are you this evening?

That must make us twin brothers by different mothers! I'm doing the same thing. Surviving our youth is not for sissies!

same father in heaven. Surviving my youth was a miracle

 

[The Innkeeper]

Car crashes, skydiving accidents, fights, illnesses, substance abuse and more. Not to mention the number of times my lovely bride, wonderful sons and random strangers probably wanted to kill me. It’s God's grace alone.

As I've said before, I've worn out several guardian angels! That lets us know God had other plans for us.

I haven't tried skydiving yet. I've always wanted to. But I have tried learning hang gliding while doing acid. Not highly recommended!

 

[The Innkeeper]

@gumpy i can’t imagine why he chooses to use us, it would be easier for him to go it himself, but I am glad he does

I will take your word for that one and not try it

Getting dopey ... sleep well my friend

That's why he created us. No one can convince me that God doesn't have a sense of humor!
