    Help what do I do with all this zucchini ?

    Good suggestions, all. I'm sure ours is not the only area of the country in which mid- to late-summer is the only time residents routinely lock their car doors when parking. It is to keep people from leaving sacks of zucchini on the back seat.

    Solar Flare to hit on the 8th or 9th

    <shrug> I don't mind rudeness (though, if you really were "sorry" about it you wouldn't have hit the "submit" button, so typing "sorry I'm so rude" is oxymoronic). I just don't see a need to start a new thread when one already exists. Now, about those solar flares...

    March or May?

    No more "variable" than usual here in Colorado. 88F today, with forecast for next few days being 88-85-86-81. Big change from two weeks ago, but that's just called "springtime" here. :) I'm just glad to be done with winter.

    Vitamin B-12 Injection or a Shock, Anyone?

    At one time it was thought that those with pernicious anemia (or those taking proton-pump inhibitor meds) could not benefit from oral B12 therapy.

    Healing Notebook

    My list is probably shorter than many others, since I only rely on those plants which have been shown in controlled studies to have medical benefit. I eschew those which only come up in a search engine query as "good for calming the liver" or other such claims. My list: - St. John's Wort...

    How fat is obese?

    Several replies have already given my answer: It is based on function. Ability to walk up x flights of stairs without being short of breath; ability to tie one's own shoes; ability to see one's own feet ;) (and, obviously, having those limitations due to excess weight, not some other illness or...
