The more we discover about the ancient civilizations. The realization that almost everything that we have been taught about history and time line of early civilizations is false and much important information is kept from us.

Like the mad hatters.

the lawyers get a disproportionate share of the
proceeds anyway, it seems. -- j

Talk about a rock & a hard place. You're probably better off. I've had many occasions to sue but have refrained from it. Somehow, I feel cleaner for that.

Thank You, plus!!! -- j, also an engineer

however long it's been, now, for me . . . we're thinking
of having a drunk day -- maybe april 15th. -- j

we didn't consider suing because our church was
the founder of the hospital. . dad was a deacon. -- j

Well, if you're serious, enjoy! Nobody pays (or paid) me to write that, but twice a month, I go as a 'mentor' to a meeting of 'pre-op' folks preparing for their surgery... folks that make you and me look positively tiny; some who can barely walk or stand without help.

One of the cool things I discovered is that, if you're ready to make that kind of change, it's not as hard as a lot of people think, and, having tried and failed (long-term) at every diet or special food supplement I ever signed up for, I knew that something 'drastic' had to be done... by me, for me...
My 'breaking point was reached when my second knee started getting arthritic pains and I couldn't even hike up to the second floor of my house without 'getting winded.'

It's quoted somewhere that 'every pound of excess weight you lose takes about FIVE pounds of stress off your knees!'

Do the math. I lost 170 pounds and now weigh about 175 (as of this morning.) I've taken four or five times the stress OFF my knees AS I weigh today! No more knee pain; no more huffing and puffing.

Find something that works for you and when you're ready, you'll do it.

And you don't need Mooooochelle's help, either.
:)

Sounds like a lawsuit to me.

I must admit that I sneak a shot of scotch now and then. I'll also have a forbidden food but I'm pretty good about that. Oh, and a rare 2 ounces of a fruity white wine. But overall I'm at about 1/10th of what I used to take.

and Congratulations on 60 years -- or, as Jeff
Dunham's character Walter says, 120 years --
60 for her and 60 for me. -- j

WoW! . I am impressed. . making a note here in
the fat file....... -- Thank You! -- j

Cut down carbs. Chew every mouthful about 30 times before swallowing. Don't drink anything during meals or for 30-45 minutes Before OR After meals.
I lost about 65 pounds in about 8-10 months doing that. Bariatric surgery AFTER that helped me lose the rest of a total of about 130 pounds.
Enjoy!

my dad died from complications after they cured
his prostate cancer -- with a 10X overdose of Cobalt.
nearly burned a hole straight through him. . tissue
would not heal. . many surgeries, two plastic bags
for #1 and #2, and damage to his heart ... he
burned out like a light bulb. . 16 years later.

he also had few vices. . fewer than me. -- j

Uh, ever seen Dune? Baron Harkonnen had the deal...Maybe you are not quite there...but...maybe something to think about. However, keeping a bunch of mercury or mercury plasma contained around you might be a bit dicey at this point

I only have one vice left, but with 60 years of marriage it can't even be called a vice. I'm not too sure that one's going to be working all that well. Oh, my aching prostate.

guess that I should drink a beer every now and then
to make it feel normal. . but I gave that stuff up,
back in '11 or so. . running out of vices. -- j

Tell me about it. Not only does your metabolism slow down, but your ab muscles go south and overnight (it seems) you have a beer belly - minus the beer.

I'm not a physicist either, but could sure use some
anti-grav to make up for this 50 lbs I've gained
over the past decade!!! -- j

It is a scientific supposition that if you rotate mercury fast enough, it will generate a counter gravity. The germans supposedly used that fact in WW2 to make their weird bell shaped "flying saucer". A lot of the UFO theories today say that is is what the "black" programs use today. Mercury in and of itself has a lot of really weird properties

Not being a physicist I can't say yea or nay, but it sort of might be a reason why someone would have a bunch of mercury. Or they just thought it was cool to roll around...

except that it does evaporate, and too fast for the
pleasure of many hazmat workers. -- j

According to the History Channel, mercury was somehow a component of a power source. I still don't get how those so-called primitive people moved those huge multi-ton hunks of stone around and then cut them in perfectly straight lines as in Puma Punku in Central America.

Amalgamation with Mercury was a common method of recovering gold from ores before the perfection and use of cyanide for recovery. The use in the process of a mercury retort then vaporized the mercury to separate the gold. These mercury vapors was where it got really toxic. Improperly handled retorts got a lot of people sick, the symptoms which include going a bit crazed in the head. As in the Mad Hatter whose hats had mercury in the brim slowly absorbing into the skin.

I ran into a half crazed old prospector in the Arizona desert who pulled a shotgun on me right in the county road. The guy was a nut, there was no rationalizing with the guy. I learned later from some other nearby miners that the guy used the mercury amalgamation/potato skin method for recovering his gold over the campfire. Extremely toxic.

Aw that's nothin'. There are fields like that in China where they have the peasants conduct e-waste work. (sorry, my sick sense of humor)

I hold off accepting the suggestion that the mercury was there just because it was shiny. This statement comes perilously close to the traditional label of 'religious artifact' that used to be stuck onto any archeological find we did not understand.

I am interested in seeing what such finds ultimately show - perhaps that will give us a hint as to its use.
