Does Vitamin C work? I keep seeing conflicting views.


message 7902: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale It probably can't HURT, Janet, unless you get a megadose.

My aversion to cats, Groovy, stems from the fact that the one cat my family had was a mean b*stard of a tom who kept sinking his claws into the top of my head after jumping onto it from my bedroom door as a kid and constantly getting infested by fleas no matter how many times we treated him to flea killing baths and collars and had the apartment fumigated. And that was just the GOOD NEWS about him! The bad news? We were, quite literally, his last chance family.

Yeah, true enough.

I saw a distressing video on Facebook yesterday. A bag had been thrown into a river and two men were trying to fish it out. Initially I was dreading a bag of puppies or kitties. When they unravelled the bag, it was a baby.

message 7905: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale That's just as bad, Janet, even though I am of the opinion the planet would be a better place if there were FEWER people on it. Achieving that goal would be better achieved by NOT breeding in the first place.

Was the baby still alive?

Yeah, you could hear it crying. A little girl. Poor little mite.

As mentioned to you Janet

Real Vitmin C does work , Just most people buy cheap ascorbic acid, that burns your stomach lining causing leaky gut syndrome.

Real Vitamin C, ascorbate acid is not acid, and does work.

Groovy Lee And in line with what Sean said, Emergen-C works as he will tell you it's real vitamin C. That, coupled with building antihistamines in my system before spring or fall hits, saves me from seasonal misery. (a telephone operator gave me that advice--lol)

Amber, I heard cats can be temperamental, but WOW! Did he jump on everyone like that, or just you? Poor thing!!

Now I love babies. And I really don't understand what kind of mind-set throws a baby in a river. I hope they catch whoever did it and put them in a room full of attack dogs for a minute.

On book bub today for £1.00

Taunting The Dead by Mel Sherratt.


message 7910: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Janet: Ow. It's "people" like the ones who threw her away like garbage after she was born that make me pissed off to be human.

Groovy: Just me. Dad was usually at work and Mom was at home while I was at Head Start so evidently it was just me. Or he had physical issues due to lack of whiskers and a tail as stumpy as that of a Manx and I was a convenient target because I was the only one of us who left the bedroom door open.

Three lovely days off, lovely every day, great to get in the garden, go out for lunches.

Back to work for one day tomorrow.

Then off for Easter, and family coming over for four days, which they do every year.

Garden all tidy, Jacuzzi filled and ready for family.

Work....

Tennis comeback tonight, doubles.

Snooker last night

Mixed doubles Thursday night.

Virus much better, back much better.

Janet hope you are feeling a little better.


message 7912: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Good to know you're doing so much better, Sean.

Maureen DeLuca | 158 comments Whiskey Sour - A Thriller (Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels Mysteries Book 1) is now FREE on Amazon ebooks- I love this series, and this is book 1 in that series.... so far book 2 and 3 were just as great!! worth the read for sure !!

Yep. Amazing what can be done if you practice enough AND have some innate talents, right? Here's another example of what you can do with the above qualities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBkRz...

Groovy

2 nights playing tennis, muscles, back killing me !!

That's what happens when you rest for two weeks.

But got to get the fitness back slowly and carefully


message 7918: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee But that tells me that you recovered from your bout with that virus since you had the strength to go out and play tennis.

Sean, live by that last sentence you wrote. Please don't have a relapse. But I'm so glad you're recovering. I hope your wife is, too. Take it easy this weekend and have someone massage that back:)

message 7920: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee If you don't hear from me in a while, it's because all of a sudden I have a defected internet modem. I've only had it for two years, the warranty went out a year ago. Now ATT wants me to pay $100 for a new one, and that's after raising my rates twice already.

I'm in the process of looking for a new internet service provider.

I hope everyone else has a nice weekend, I'll probably be mad the entire time!!

He's one reason I will never again fall into the trap of thinking classical can be boring. Not that I am a late comer to classical. Raised on it and stuff like both the Beetles and The Beach Boys.

Groovy: hope you get your problem fixed soon.


message 7922: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Thanks, Amber. If I don't find another provider, I'll end up paying another $100 for a modem. It's sad, but you really can't go without internet these days--and they know it. That's why they try and bleed every dime they can get out of you...

I know some of you have read Tear Drop by Irish author, Joanne Clancy and liked. It turns out the author's works were plagiarised and her books have been removed from Amazon. I'm hoping the following link works from my phone. http://m.independent.ie/entertainment...

Sorry I haven't been around, I was away for a few days at a family wedding. Hope you're all well and had/having a good Easter break.

Aymen Ben cheikh I just saw a little girl leaving the bookstore and already reading her new book while walking, made my day.


message 7927: by [deleted user] (new)

I read the article Janet, I think that's terrible. I have it on my Kindle although I'm not sure I want to read it now.


message 7928: by [deleted user] (new)

Jean | 2387 comments Janet, that's quite an awful story! I know fans were upset when this "author" suddenly vanished along with "her" books. This is really an eye-opener!


message 7932: by Janet , Moderator (new)

Janet  | 5303 comments Mod
I never knew she had vanished which is why it came as quite a shock when I was sent the link. I got Tear Drop on the basis of Chris and Sue's reviews. Glad I haven't read it. Guess she thought she'd get away with it.


message 7933: by Jean (new)

Jean | 2387 comments Well, she did, for a while at least...

Delightful Aymen. I also love to see little kids absorbed by new books. Doesn't happen much.

Told my husband about this, he was wondering how much money Joanne Clancy may have made and there has to be some lawsuit about this, yes?

Diane Lynch (dianedesmarrstlynch) | 306 comments Groovy Lee modems all go bad eventually. I don't know why. If they have any insurance or warrantee for the new one you should take it. We get ours through the phone company. They replace it when it goes bad. It's been replaced many times over the years.


message 7938: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale Sounds like this "author" forgot what Nancy Sinatra said in her song These Boots are Made for Walking *BG* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbyAZ... The part about "You keep on lying/when you ought to be truthing."

I had that happen a while ago and found the identical modem at Best Buy much cheaper.


message 7943: by Kirsten (new)

Thanks, Diane. ATT decided they will fix my problem without me having to buy a new one. Thank goodness for that!


message 7945: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Gary, I didn't know you could buy them on your own. I'm going to look into that. Why don't they tell you they're available in electronic stores---Hmmm

Gopal (gopaliyer) | 482 comments The presidential election is US reminds me strongly of the Indian elections. So many slogans... the policies and decision making skills are not even being questioned....

Lyin Ted, Coward Donald... the Republican candidacy is becoming a farce with the person who is able to shout the loudest being elected it seems.

That's good news, Groovy.

Gopal: No particular subject.

Horn: Horse hockey! Cruz may be a fraud because he was actually born in Canada but at least he's not as stupid as Trump is to think that Muslims will be more likely to fight against ISIS if they're banned from entering the US! http://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-muslim...
