We know better, though - this thread would be way more active at 4am, otherwise.

Dunno. Someone pounding down a bunch of sugared up Cokes may be active then too.

Interesting you mention that. Earlier this week I stopped taking the iron supplement I was on because lately I've had lower GI issues. I hope that's the reason, otherwise something is messed up.

Maybe I need to try coke on a more regular basis. I usually have one when I'm nearing the end of a long, hot ride, and need the extra kick to get home. Mexican coke is tastier, in general, the NOB coke. Why, I don't know.

I definitely don't eat enough of the good stuff for my activity level. It is very hot and humid here, and difficult to spend the kitchen time necessary to remedy that. I'm thinking of taking up eggs again, if only I could find clean ones. Might have to raise my own.

Funny patient story of the day.
About 15 years ago, I had a relatively new patient who was about 75 years old. She had a diagnosis of a benign small cyst in her head, I think it was an arachnoid cyst but that does not matter. She had seen a neurosurgeon several years earlier who saw her yearly and told her it was not growing but she MUST get an annual MRI. This had been going on for many years and the cyst was not growing or changing.
She saw me and I told her that since she had so many annual MRI's and this cyst had not changed for YEARS that getting an annual MRI going forward was really not necessary.
She was INCENSED! How dare I contradict the mandate from the neurosurgeon. She needs an MRI EVERY YEAR!
She chose to find another doctor, and probably told all her friends what a bad doctor Dr datlas is.
Sigh.

It's not the upgrade, I noticed it before the upgrade.

Don't you know, those are called gravel roads these days. Try to keep up.

Nowadays it's the smokers who really get my sympathy, that is one nasty monkey to have on your back.

He means grass-fed, cage-free or free-range chicken eggs, where they aren't grown on unnecessary hormones and antibiotics.

Huge marketing gimmick with regard to hormones as poultry may not legally be given hormones. Read the faint, fine print the next time you see one of those TV ads. Federal regs say you can't say "No hormones" unless you also say "federal regs prohibit the use of hormones."

Thanks. I was originally looking at the Power2Max NGECO but since the prices have fallen on the pedals plus their portability makes them a little more attractive to me.

I've got guilt but not for this. No soda in many weeks.
Might be different in Mexico.
