Used to eating to keep her weight down.

Or refraining from doing so! Sometimes I wonder
if an eating disorder is a prerequisite for that
profession. It certainly seems to help.

Seems so--you used to have to be tall and skinny but now more
"realistically sized" models are being seen. Probably most of the not so skinny ones still watch what they eat tho.

One factor is that the clothes are supposed to be the
stars, but decades of this kind of thing has conditioned
us to value skinniness as a big part of our ideas of
beauty, so models have engaged in this peculiar kind of
arms race. Another is that on the screen people appear
to be heavier than they are, so skinny people do well
in the movies and on TV.

Don't want to ruin the chain below us.

Stewardship is a good idea though difficult
at times.

Worth a try--if enough of us are even partly successful, then there will
be an impact made on the environment and eco-system.

We need to counteract the mindset that creates
the conspicuous consumption - and the waste that
goes wth it.

No medical records or doctors you could talk with for information?

You're thinking in modern American terms. Answer:
of course not, especially in the case of my
paranoid schizophrenic mother.

Sigh! I'd have to ask my brother if he has any of my parent's medical records. I know he has some of their medical history but detailed
records, probably not.

For me there isn't any. My father would get drugs
from his colleagues, no records there until he started
getting hospital care in his 60s. As for my mother, she
avoided doctors even more than I do and wouldn't tell
anyone anything anyway. After her death I found a few
ancient bottles of medications, some of them unopened.

So it appears there's no need to worry then.

Uhm, don't know about you, when someone collapses on
my watch, I worry.

That is time to worry but getting scurvy from inadequate Vitamin C
intake is probably not a worry.

It's still unclear what's going on there, but it
probably isn't scurvy.

That would be the seed, something quite different
and not as objectionable to most.

Very acceptable for us.

If you didn't tolerate coriander seed, corned
beef and pastrami would be denied you.

And other goodies.

For me those would be the most important deficits.

We won't inquire about the traumas behind that
fell combination.

At least I can talk about it. (G)

Unlike Clean Dave and the eels.

I won't ask but if you volunteer the information..........

Involves his being part of a search party for
someone who ended up fished out of a river.

Speaking of which, relating to another discussion,
there really is no such thing as a shank steak.

Sounds illogical anyway.

At least misleading. By whatever name, the cut is
better off with the low and slow method.

A lot of meats are, actually.

Or raw, which for me is often best.

Hi Michael,

beauty, so models have engaged in this peculiar kind of
arms race. Another is that on the screen people appear

in the movies and on TV.

While those of us average folks blend in to the crowd outside of movies
and tv.

Easier said than done.

OK, getting enough Vitamin C then. My ortho doctor is very much into the
use of vitamins and their use in how the body heals--has had me do blood
work a couple of times to check levels of lesser known vitamins. He was
also the one that brought up the use of honey to close the incision
line. It has to heal from the inside out, but the honey is working.

That would be the seed, something quite different
and not as objectionable to most.

Very acceptable for us.

If you didn't tolerate coriander seed, corned
beef and pastrami would be denied you.

For me those would be the most important deficits.

I'd tend to agree there.

We won't inquire about the traumas behind that
fell combination.

Have to get him to a picnic or back here to retell the story.

I'd rather have it cooked, but not over cooked.
