How Not To Be A Hillbilly

So yesterday I went and got me a box of wine - remembering how me and kareng joked on here about drinking it straight from the box :lol:

so, it wasn't cold (oh, excuse me, chilled), so I put it in the freezer to cool it off.

NOTE: Do Not EVER Do This!

So when I decided to get it out and have a cup of wine on a Saturday night, I went and opened it. My kitchen (and me) both now look like one of them polka dot dresses that I Love Lucy used to wear.

When the air hit that box of wine, I don't know, I guess the air in it got compressed in the freezer, and boy oh oh boy when I turned the crank on that thing, that wine flew all over EVERYTHING! :o

Then the cardboard box that it's in got all mushy and I said I am NOT losing any more of this wine, so I got out my duct tape and taped that box up, top to bottom.

So now sitting in my fridge is a box covered in grey, pink and orange duct tape, just waiting for me.

And I wonder why they call us Hillbillies. B)

That is too funny! I almost spit out the boxed wine I was drinking, laughing so hard!

Duct tape is a wonderous invention! :)

oh funny. that would also be don't leave the champagne in the freezer too long or you'll be drinking slushies and the first glass will be *much* stronger than the rest.

Also known as 'jacking', this is a lovely way to get applejack-hard (very hard!) cider!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
