figuring it all out I appreciate your humor, insight, and your post whether or not I agree

some more on the potassium problem:

so, i already know i get problems with high motility (fast transit through the intestines, and this causes problems with potassium levels) due in part to celiac, i also know that i most likely have early, and until this last year, uncontrolled diabetes, made worse by stuff like maltodextrin (it has always caused me to pee brown), i suspect kidney damage due to sucralose and acesulfame-k as well

these are more than enough as a cluster to explain how i acquired the problem, and also it hints at issues with magnesium, which also with potassium makes up a big part of the etiology of chronic muscle cramps

it is probable, in fact, that i have all of these problems running concurrently and so the result is more extreme than any single one of them would be. each one alone would not be a problem but they all happen at once, compounding the amount of potassium my kidneys are eliminating

note that there are other interesting things related to kidney function and electrolyte elimination, if there is insufficient boron in the diet, the kidneys also eliminate calcium and magnesium to compensate, and low magnesium causes more elimination of potassium as well!

my aunty, and several others i have now had confirm this recently (one of my follows from hungary) that sodium borate is incredibly helpful for a lot of electrolyte and blood conditions, notable he mentioned that it can reduce fungal organism levels in the blood (mycoplasma)

so, anyway, i think i probably need to scratch in a visit to the pharmacy for some epsom salt to add to my electrolyte stack - have to be careful with that to not have too much at once as it causes intestines to smooth and increase motility also, but probably the increased retention of calcium due to adding borax to the stack will probably help mitigate a lot of that

Today I learned a new word: motility 🤣

Jesus. I literally saw that on a bumper sticker today

Perhaps add to your selection matrix the triangle in the Appalachian Mountains between Tennessee, North Carolina,and Virginia

Ok amazing, I'll have to go thru the other versions some day. So I definitely have some answers for Leah's mother who rolled her eyes when she heard the women weren't named :-D

Some days I feel like the YouTube algo is trolling me, and other days when I know it is:

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=tX5GpicCZLE

Leah is 4 and likes to read books so she brought "Noah's Big Book" to her Uncle to read.

We opened every peek-a-boo window on every page. There 2 pigs getting a bath, 2 snakes snoozing in a basket, 2 kittens causing mayhem, 2 foxes, 2 chickens (don't ask me how the chickens survived).

There were even 2 mice eating cheese.

On the last page, all the animals and Noah's sons and daughters-in-law are showed on the page under a rainbow.

Leah pointed at Noah's wife:"is that Mary?

I was so flustered. I didn't want to answer that I don't think we know her name. Then she asked the same question about each of the wives of Shem, Ham and Japheth.

I experienced second hand shame on God's God behalf. God, Why didn't you throw a bone to the four year olds reading your Noah's story and at least name your women characters? Also we're the mice stowaways?

Anyway

If your wondering about some women's names, here they are, Leah:

Josh:

17:3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

17:4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

3? Seriously. It seems like a lot until I realize that I ate 6 slices of homemade pizza. What is a beef patty, Hamburger?

In my defense my cousin just married a Greek guy who managed the salvation army kitchens for years, and he decided to make 20 pizzas for everyone as his entree into the family.

And they were really good pizzas.

Oh it's just a joke, friend. If you're curious, AI does a good summary

Or is it this reason:

From the lay of Sir Lanval:

Now it chanced, the same year, about the feast of St. John, a company of knights came, for their solace, to an orchard, beneath that tower where dwelt the Queen. Together with these lords went Gawain and his cousin, Yvain the fair. Then said Gawain, that goodly knight, beloved and dear to all,

"Lords, we do wrong to disport ourselves in this pleasaunce without our comrade Launfal. It is not well to slight a prince as brave as he is courteous, and of a lineage prouder than our own."

Then certain of the lords returned to the city, and finding Launfal within his hostel, entreated him to take his pastime with them in that fair meadow. The Queen looked out from a window in her tower, she and three ladies of her fellowship. They saw the lords at their pleasure, and Launfal also, whom well they knew. So the Queen chose of her Court thirty damsels—the sweetest of face and most dainty of fashion—and commanded that they should descend with her to take their delight in the garden. When the knights beheld this gay company of ladies come down the steps of the perron, they rejoiced beyond measure. They hastened before to lead them by the hand, and said such words in their ear as were seemly and pleasant to be spoken. Amongst these merry and courteous lords hasted not Sir Launfal. He drew apart from the throng, for with him time went heavily, till he might have clasp and greeting of his friend. The ladies of the Queen's fellowship seemed but kitchen wenches to his sight, in comparison with the loveliness of the maiden. When the Queen marked Launfal go aside, she went his way, and seating herself upon the herb, called the knight before her. Then she opened out her heart.

"Launfal, I have honoured you for long as a worthy knight, and have praised and cherished you very dearly. You may receive a queen's whole love, if such be your care. Be content: he to whom my heart is given, has small reason to complain him of the alms."

"Lady," answered the knight, "grant me leave to go, for this grace is not for me. I am the King's man, and dare not break my troth. Not for the highest lady in the world, not even for her love, will I set this reproach upon my lord."

When the Queen heard this, she was full of wrath, and spoke many hot and bitter words.

"Launfal," she cried, "well I know that you think little of woman and her love. There are sins more black that a man may have upon his soul. Traitor you are, and false. Right evil counsel gave they to my lord, who prayed him to suffer you about his person. You remain only for his harm and loss."
