  1. Lyrics (before they changed the meaning of "gay")

    But I feel so gay in a melancholy way
    That it might as well be spring
    It might as well be spring

    It Might As Well Be Spring - (Rodgers & Hammerstein from the musical "State Fair") - I'll choose the Getz/Gilberto version because Stan Getz is one of my all-time favorite tenor sax players

     

     

  2. Diet is always best if you can find something that works.

    I had inherited bursitis in my hip from my father. When it was bad, I couldn't walk more than 2 blocks without sitting, and I couldn't drive without a 'blue ice' pack behind my right hip.

    I went on the arthritis/bursitis diet, and now I can walk 4 miles for exercise and drive 8-10 hours without the blue ice. I'm 99.99% cured. (A couple of times per year if I stretch in an extreme direction I can feel slight discomfort where the pain used to be.)

    A doctor who believed in medicine as a last resort gave me the diet.

    If anybody wants the diet, let me know, I'll be happy to share it.

    Acetaminophen is the nation's leading cause of acute liver failure, according to data from an ongoing study funded by the National Institutes for Health.

    Just one link of many:

    I never take it myself. I love my liver, and can't live without my liver, so I'm a liver lover.

    None of the NSAIDs are without their risks, so I don't take them unless absolutely necessary. When I do I choose Ibuprofen at the minimum dose. Ibuprofen seems to work better for me, so I can take less of it.

    If I'm going to damage my liver, I'll choose a nice Cabernet. :)

  4. C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve minors," and E-flat leaves. C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me, I'll just be a second."

    A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor and sends him out. Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and shouts, "Get out now. You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."

    Next night, E-flat, not easily deflated, comes into the bar in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes. The bartender says: "You're looking pretty sharp tonight. Come on in. This could be a major development." Sure enough, E-flat takes off his suit and everything else and stands there au naturel.

    Eventually, C, who had passed out under the bar the night before, begins to sober up and realizes in horror that he's under a rest. So, C goes to trial, is convicted of contributing to the diminution of a minor and sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an up scale correctional facility. The conviction is overturned on appeal, however, and C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.

    The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest and closes the bar.
