What first world problem did you have today?

[Charmonium]

Probiotics won't help if you don't maintain the right kind of intestinal environment. That's where fruits, veggies and especially fiber come in. You should be getting no less than 30g of fiber per day. Some bacteria need it as a food source.

Also, get your vitamin D levels checked. You can do this yourself at home with a test kit you send in to a lab or you can have it done at your next checkup. Google 'vitamin d home test kit' and you should see a few options including a test done by the Vitamin D Council which is about the cheapest.

In the meantime, try a vit D supplement. The recommended dose IIRC is between 1 and 3k IUs. That's not the official recommendation but what people like endocrinologists recommend.

Of course you can also just get more sun.

When the sun's UV-B rays hit the skin, a reaction takes place that enables skin cells to manufacture vitamin D. If you're fair skinned, experts say going outside for 10 minutes in the midday sun—in shorts and a tank top with no sunscreen—will give you enough radiation to produce about 10,000 international units of the ...Jun 23, 2008

Since I've been taking it, I haven't gotten sick once. I've come close a few times but I was always able to fight it off.

Fess up, you're trying to get me banned.

I would never...


@Charmonium...just read an article about that. The fiber was a big deal. Equivalent to nearly 3 cups of black beans/day.

Didn't wanna get out of bed this morning. Well, that isn't exactly a new thing. But as of last night YouTube is back not sucking eggs and I can stream at 480p and above again.

Azithromycin killed off something beneficial in my digestive track permanently so I get recurring bouts of the great unpleasantness. I tried every probiotic I could find in attempt to reestablish what is gone, but so far no luck.

Not a medical professional... did you try yogurt?

P.S. Fecal transplant, look into it.

Damaged the stick of my Jeff Carter bobblehead while putting it next to my Albert Einstein bobblehead.

My Jeff Carter bobble head is alive. I had to put a washer on his base so he would not fall over. Maybe it is like the Night at the Smithsonian movies and him and Al got into it last night and Al popped him. I would think a hockey player could take out Albert Einstein though.

I got a free sample-sized toothpaste with triclosan. My mouth feels like it's been nuked but triclosan...

Anyway, went to Kroger to buy pop. 3/$8 12 packs, not bad. Get to register, $4.99 each. WTF? The tiny print says you have to spend an additional $25 to get the deal. Left it there and went across the street to another grocery store. 2 liters for $1. Get to register. $1.89 each. WTF? "Oh, the lower price doesn't apply to the diet pop, only the diabetes version." Left it there. These are dark days for caffeine addicts.

anyone who tries to buy diet deserves what's coming to them.

Don't know where to put my '16 IRA money to work now that the market seems to be stabilizing.

Triclosan has almost always been a common ingredient in toothpaste.

Wait for the "thank you" letter...

And I decided to see what would happen if I added half a pack of yeast to corn bread. People told me it'd do nothing because it's too watery/thick, but meh. Now I'm worrying because the pan I put the batter it is too small and it might overflow if it rises.

I went to get the windows tinted on BMW coupe. I wasn't able to connect to the WiFi in the place, even though I kept using the password they gave me.

Had to just use my data, which drained my battery more.

My Amazon order came from Kentucky. This was the item that came:
http://www.amazon.ca/OXO-Good-Grips-Silicone-Rectangular/dp/B002ZOLS2S/

It was packaged in a box to accommodate its length. However, the box could have fit about 50 of those because it was about three times as wide and 10 times as thick with room to spare along its length. So flexible and unbreakable, not sure why they didn't stick it in an envelope.

You should have seen the box Dell used to ship my Green Onion Supply screen protector film for Alienware M11X (11.6" notebook).

The exhaust for my Ducati is being held up in customs in Belgium... 🙁

Oh, and the scanner for my wife's computer doesn't work with the Windows 10 laptop I bought her recently so I had to order her a new scanner. 🙁 🙁 🙁
