Just eating food with D3 in it is insufficient to maintain a healthy level and no good for restoring the levels to a normal level. You need daily exposure to sunshine as well, or supplementation, in the absence of sunshine to maintain acceptable levels. Here's some info from NIH: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessional/ If this is a concern, I would get a vitamin D test done and have it assessed by a doctor who may then put you on high-dose supplementation; you cannot buy tablets with the required levels to restore deficiency - they are prescription-only. Not in the UK anyway, I've been through this process recently with vitamin D and learned this stuff from the people treating me. Go see your doctor.

You understand exactly.

I don't think it would affect me like that. I was a long-time drug addict so I know how it goes and wouldn't be devastated to lapse... you pick yourself up and you keep going and the gaps of abstinence get longer and longer The notion of a perfect path of complete abstinence is a pipe-dream and the source of many failures in smokers, including myself. The truth is, one is always a recovering addict and vulnerable; Because I don't seek perfection in my progress I don't feel any pressure to be perfect; I'm quite chilled. The most important thing is to feel that you are making progress even if you fall down on the way sometimes. The Zyban is helping quite a bit with nullifying the stress. For all the fuss said about Zyban I've had less problems with adjustment to it than when on Prozac.

That's true, because oneself and dinner would be the biohazard.

Should they not be brought to lawful account retrospectively? If I killed somebody 40 years ago I would still be tried.

A mitotically-produced cell is the same age as the cell it cloned from. The thing about stem cells is not that their age/youth is the distinctive property but their ability to make any type of cell. They still get 'old'.

Free speech - You can say anything you like as long as we agree with it.

Not if the 'new' part was mitotically produced from cells which are at the current level of senescence of the organism; they are the same age. The tails are actually regenerated from cartilage cells; no bone is regenerated. As far as I know, cells must be meiotically produced to put a cell at age zero i.e. start again. Cloning doesn't do this.

No, I haven't dreamed of it yet but I have had strange dreams, which, apparently, are caused by the Zyban. I dreamt that a nuclear bomb was about to be dropped on my home town - it was hovering over it - and I had it in my head that I needed to get 5 miles away from it before it exploded to survive. The theme seemed to be something to do with racing against time; a very strong sense of urgency.

Yes, that's an idea...

That's a good point. You could probably safely eat your dinner directly off the floor in some of these places.

I'm through the hard physical addiction bit, I think. It's just a case of getting into a habit of not thinking about it now, which seems to be happening more often and for longer periods. When I get mardy is when I think about it the most but I'm weathering it through those times, up to now.

This is true, as his response to my reply shows.

I've never found it necessary or desirable to be deceptive or "big myself up". If they don't like me as I am then they can go and take a long walk off a short pier. Seriously, we can't be all things to all people but should make the most of those that do find us attractive as we are. This is assuming one is after a more long-term situation rather than a brief sexual experience,

You are much less likely to forget an experience as opposed to some bit of knowledge acquired by reading or listening. On the downside, learning from experience can be painful whereas passively acquired knowledge is not, usually.

If there had been any residual background radiation that exceeded prescribed guidlines at the time you were staying there it would have been clearly marked as such and access made more difficult than it was, I would have thought, especially with it being part of a college as well.

I've attached a list of medical radioisotopes with half-lives in brackets. With the exception of the cobalts, they are pretty short. List of Medical Radioisotopes.pdf

I think you are in dire need of an empathy transplant.

Both are actions and both have the same cause: the brain. If the person behaving like an idiot must take ownership of their behaviour then so must the person talking like an idiot. To argue otherwise would lack logical consistency and denies that both phenomena have the same root cause.

Yes, no problem. I was only thinking of him TBH when I put the link up. The gist of the article is that their testing, although accurate, what they test and the info they present is not very useful; next to useless.

Have a look at this review by an amateur geneaologist: http://youngandsavvygenealogists.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/my-ancestrydna-review-cautionary-tale.html

It's the same principle as attacking the argument in a discussion not the person.

My CO level was 2 today; it was 8 last week and 16 before that. I realised today why ones energy levels increase with cessation. The carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin much more readily than oxygen and forms a stable compound which renders the red cells with reduced capacity ,meaning we have to breath faster and our hearts pump faster to try to compensate. Once the polluted red cells are replenished one feels more alive and alert. How do you mean? Phi When you see the number of cups a Moka is stated to make, note that they are small cups so you probably want at least a 6 cup to make a mug or you could use a smaller one and top up with water in the mug; I do this with my 3-cup.

No. You got the point across just fine. I think the full stop is the longest interval in our language, is it not? Hate the activity, not the person.
