Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

[rock hound]

Why is that stupid?

Well depending on the amount, I mean. But stocking up in advance of quarantine on something that might actually help you get well seems smart.

Difficult for me to explain, but, here goes.......people seem to think that taking mega doses of Vitamin C is good for you.  Yes, Vitamin C is good for you.  It's something you get from many plant and fruit sources as well as a tablet.  Vitamin C is water soluble, which means that your body cannot accumulate it and your body just pisses it out.  Your a smart woman, you know that, but, the herd mentality is not much for intelligence.  And that is what I am talking about.  The herd mentality, and I have heard this from many people, "Take a lot of Vit. C and you will never be sick, etc, etc, ad nauseum."  And it will not help you get well with this coronavirus, it might strengthen your immune system temporarily.......but, it will not be the key to getting well.  That depends upon your own health and immune system.  Your in good shape, your son is vulnerable, the elderly are vulnerable, immuno-compromised people are vulnerable....and no amount of vit. C will help make them well if they get attacked by the coronavirus. 

Hoarding Vit. C is stupid in that regard.  It just makes it harder for people who could use it to NOT get it.  GET IT!  I hope I have met your challenge question.  If this is shit stirring..........

Apparently there's a rumor flying around stating that vitamin C will cure covid-19.

There's a lot of scams out there, including the fundies of any religion.

And drinking water with a tablespoon of baking soda too.


Yeah this is highly legit. 

Massive amounts of vitamine C make your blood more acidic (before peeing the stuff out, duh). And lo and behold. Drinking a baking soda solution every day turns your blood more alkaline. Everyone knows viruses cannot stand  blood that is either too alkaline or too acidic.
The really smart people dissolve the baking soda not in water but in lemon juice. Then they get the best of both ways.

It's a pity festivals are cancelled. This asks for a stand selling snake oil.

Sounds like the premise for survival in the movie, "The Andromeda Strain".  by Michael Crichton.    It's from back in the 70's.

I remember "The Andromeda Strain". Good film, actually.

For it's time, it had great special effects and it had great acting.

  I FOUND TOILET PAPER. 
 
 A work friend told me about a mini-market in our area, said it's very clean and
 always has    in stock.  She was right on both counts. 
 The    is in paper-wrapped individual paper wrapping.  I'd prefer plastic wrapped,
 but I'm letting the rolls sit out until any virus on the wrapping (hopefully) dies. 
 I'll definitely use that little store for quick errands and
 paper goods, in these times it's like El Dorado!

TP is returning to the shelves here. There's still no rice to be found anywhere, though.

I spoke to Mum over the phone and she told me my uncle has recovered. He and his wife both tested negative. So she never got it at all.

Thank goodness for that

Put up and strung out the clothes drying thingy.  Hammock has been set up on the back porch.  Found some bendy wire that Carla can use for her homemade face masks, around the bridge of the nose area for a better fit.  Spent a lot of time outside.
