I liked the glory hole and the 2 girls were cute. My friend is coming over to hang out soon. I'll be checking later but I was wondering how much vitamin D people take. I was taking 6000 IU a day. A course I'm taking recommends vitamins and minerals from food. Saint Fauci takes 6000 IU a day. And there aren't really issues if you are under 10,000 IU. Still, just wondering.

Unless you eat a vitamin D fortified product like milk you are not getting D from food. If you are in Canada you probably need to supplement from Oct-April or so even if you spend a lot of time outside with bare skin. I think there is a phone app for vitamin D by sunlight. Seems like that was mentioned in a video I watched in 2021 where the speaker was saying take D instead of getting a covid vaccination. How much D you need also varies with age and health IIRC. They can test for if you are vit. D deficient but they very rarely do test for it.

Posted by: Stateless. (checks bottle) Looks like I'm taking only about 4000IU a day. Probably could take more.

This week, I've been looking at Shroud of Turin videos on YouTube. Most of them are disappointing, especially those which seem to be slapped-together with AI narration.
This one is good, though. Thorough and up-to-date to the best of my understanding. Shroud studies (48:07) Dr. John Campbell posted 5 months ago https://youtu.be/YT1R2kDPHFA Since I first read about the Shroud, I've learned a few new things. Most significantly, it's not just a photographic negative, it has depth which can be extrapolated. Current images of what the face on the Shroud really looked like are amazing. The one that has a moving face (like the "old paintings brought to life" videos) is a bit disturbing, a smiling Jesus with the scars and blood on His face... The dirt, pollen, and the material and weave of the cloth all indicate first-Century Jerusalem. The "39 lashes" weren't just with a cowboy-type horse whip. Roman scourges had multiple spiked metal balls on each whip; the scourge marks all over the body are gut-wrenching to see. As I recall from a single source long ago, there were attempts to duplicate the image which sort-of worked, but the image always blurred when the cloth was removed.

I take 15,000 IU of vitamin D per day. I get my levels checked once a year and that keeps me in a good place as far as labs go. I also notice I don't really get sick much at all anymore. Been doing this for several years now. Mood is ok-ish. Most days....

Good evening, everyone. Tomorrow is gonna be a beautiful day. Smash has picked out a waterfall for us to ride the motorcycles to. I really should figure a way to post photos anonymously. Anyway....today was a good day as well. I got the olde front/rear dash cams in Smash's charger removed and replaced with current tech. Had to cut out the usb A two-wire (ignition, ground) power adapters, and splice in a new usb C three-wire power adapter (ground, battery, ignition) for both of them. Ran a new always hot battery wire for the new adapters. Had to drag my HACCO 880 soldering iron down from the office, the garage 40w chynesium soldering pencil wasn't working on the heavier guage wiring in the new kits. Got the wiring tucked away behind trim, no wire peeking out. Looks profesionally installed. Good times. Posted by: BifBewalski at April 18, 2025 11:11 PM (MsrgL) 116

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer that allows you to run Windows applications on POSIX-compliant operating systems like Linux. Instead of emulating the internal logic of Windows, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly.

Beckoning chasm,
There is a commercial service that provides security patches to older window versions but pay 25 bux to Microsoft next fall and that gets a one year extension from Microsoft on security patches from them. There is also dual booting of windows and Linux on the same system along with wine, virtual operating machines, containers, etc. a lot depends on the age of your programs and what they. Usually you can find out quite a bit from online forums about which programs work with which choice unless it is obscure. Lots of game compatibility info though including settings.

That was a valid point about US Economy being the only economy. Really, no really, sort of. But, here's what it made bounce around in my pointy little head.
Pick any nation on the planet and put that nation (with all their foibles) in the place of the US, and consider what your life would be like as they attempt to dictate that lifestyle to you. UK would be censoring your speech and throwing you in jail for insults China would have half the nation in concentration camps due to political opinion and religion Saudi Arabia would have ditched the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue well before Sports Illustrated committed Harikari.

Christ is my best (and perhaps only) friend today. Your menu sounds perfectly wonderful, and there is no better friend than Christ. Hugs and love to you this Holy Weekend. Spend time with your husband, go to an Easter service, enjoy whatever you want to eat and check Ace's place on Sunday. A lot of folks hang out here for fellowship!

One thing leads to another department: I was on a video on Rumble and checked for new Intellectual Froglegs. Dang, a new video a month ago that I missed. And just watched.
Winds of Change (32:11) https://bit.ly/4cC3MJL I haven't been keeping up very well since JoeDan left YouTube. I'm not a "joiner," YouTube being about the only place I'm signed up and that was a looonng time ago. I've thought of signing up for Rumble, but, but, it's just one more thing. I think about joining X now and then, too. But I haven't. It was JoeDan back in 2016 who made me realize that the talk that Trump was just running to enhance his brand and would throw it to Hillary was nuts, and I finally got fully on-board the Trump train. What a ride. Posted by: mindful webworker - I'm a rejoinder, not a joiner at April 19, 2025 12:57 AM (dlb43) Posted by: nurse ratched at April 19, 2025 12:58 AM (f6yyg) 188

Saudi Arabia would have ditched the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue well before Sports Illustrated committed Harikari. Posted by: Orson at April 19, 2025 12:38 AM (dIske) When we lived there, the Saudis were permitted to go through APO mail, and had a team armed with industrial sized magic markers who would go through every magazine and redact anything they deemed offensive. Military and embassy kids would receive Sesame street books with Miss Piggy blacked out. They would draw abayahs on Sports Illustrated models and other such magazines. Note, the pages would be dogeared and obviously well read before they ever arrived in the actual recipient's hand. Posted by: Moki at April 19, 2025 01:00 AM (wLjpr) 190

DB, I got a wooden humidor with a mess of cigars in it at a swap meet a month ago. It has a humidifier and electronic humidity sensor in it, and it's now back up to about 54% RH.
Are you game to try one or more out? Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at April 19, 2025 01:00 AM (8zz6B) You want at least 60% for a solid week or more, depending on how long those sticks dried out. Friend of mine gave me an old Partagas out of a humidor he thought was empty five years before. I kept it at 65% for about three weeks. Burned evenly and delivered nice hits of spice, and leather. Definitely past its prime, but the quality of the leaf and construction was readily apparent.. Posted by: Joe Kidd at April 19, 2025 01:18 AM (bA75n) 196

The shirt is a replica of one Dr. Pepper used in an advertising campaign about 15 years ago. It means Dr. Pepper. But, to those with a dirty mind, "dp" could men "double penetration" - 2 guys, 1 girl, sex. They rode the outrage double entendre to a bit of an internet splash. It amuses me how different people react to the shirt.

3-4lb boneless leg of lamb Marinate in this mixture for several hours, turning at least once: (shake together in 2-gallon zip bag): 1-1/2 cups dry white wine 1/4 cup honey mustard 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil (your choice of strength, I used EVOO) Remove from fridge & let warm to room temp (~2 hours) Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 01:53 AM (rdVOm) Posted by: Nightwatch at April 19, 2025 01:56 AM (25kuG) 223

Remove leg of lamb from marinade, but reserve marinade for gravy Preheat oven to 425F Rub lamb with olive oil. Salt & pepper it all over. Place on rack in roasting pan, fat side up. Roast for 20 min, or until browned, then reduce heat to 350F and continue for approx. 12min/lb or until internal temp is 125F. Remove from oven, cover & let rest while making gravy... Using pan juices, remaining marinade, 2 tablespoons sherry and a bit more honey mustard-- whisk together and simmer over medium heat until thickened.

"Maybe one of the girl cousins from the younger aunts and uncles"
English is weird. Why do we have gendered and non-gendered words for some relations: parent-mother-father, sibling-brother-sister But only gendered ones for some others: ?????-aunt-uncle And only neuter ones for other others? cousin-?????-?????

Thinking cousins also... 2nd cousins, actually. 2 girls, maybe one is interested in grandma's (their g-gma's) china. I have one very young nephew. No others. Maybe, if I live long enough to see him marry, will offer Mom's (his gma's) china & silver as a wedding gift? Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 03:09 AM (rdVOm) 270
G'night, Debby! Sweet dreams & stay warm!

Heh. My dummy-stoopid cat...is sitting in a big planter on the deck, just outside the patio door (where he can look through the glass & see me). He's just chillin' out there...
Silly critter. Watching his silly dumb-ass hooman. Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 03:34 AM (rdVOm) 276

Some of the old furniture is chunky and ugly but when restored mahogany and walnut look fantastic. The finishes on the old stuff turn a noxious yellow-green or orange-brown and the only way to fix it is to strip it.

“Nobody wants brown furniture”
Until they do, again. And then it will go for top dollar. Again. Humans are weird. Hang on to something long enough, it will be back in style. Posted by: Common Tater at April 19, 2025 03:37 AM (Q6s/P) 279
I had one cat that thought he was a dog and would follow me everywhere. He was a great gopher hunter.

------- I have an old Cushman set: 2-chairs plus magazine rack/side table, that are a *horrible* orange color! And, I think that was the original color? Ugh! One chair has a split in the seat. Repairable, if one knows what they're doing (not me, of course!) and that's just another bit of the pile I must dispose of...somehow, somewhere... Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 03:42 AM (rdVOm) 281

JQ -The lacquer finishes turn green yellow and old modified oil varnish tends to turn orange.
Those chairs are indeed valuable. Posted by: 13times at April 19, 2025 03:55 AM (N+gHJ) 284
Twenty years ago I stripped and refinished a huge mahogany bar back that had turned yellow-green. it still looks fantastic.
Posted by: 13times at April 19, 2025 04:00 AM (N+gHJ) 285
I don't know *squat* about refinishing furniture.
Mom was very good at it. She refinished several smaller pieces, but her ultimate project was an antique grand piano.. turned out beautifully! Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 04:04 AM (rdVOm) 286

Stripping is a pita. Everything about the process is toxic. I hate doing it. Posted by: 13times at April 19, 2025 04:11 AM (N+gHJ) 287

Dad found one of these for Mom-- for their 20th anniversary... No matching bench, however...
Mom stripped & refinished it. Had the action rebuilt, replaced the chipped keys (and kicked herself many times over, for not coughing up the $$$$ for Ivory/Ebony, but settling for plastic) It's still beautiful! Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 04:20 AM (rdVOm) 290

Piano. I've a friend that had a strip shop. He said never ever take on a job like that.
My mom took apart an old chair and stripped it. She later regretted throwing away the horse hair cushion material. Posted by: 13times at April 19, 2025 04:32 AM (N+gHJ) 292
13times-- that bar back is gorgeous!

Mom took her sweet time with the piano. I remember helping her scrape (carefully!!!!) the old finish off, when I was a teen.
I want to say, that it took a couple of years for her to complete that project. It was a labor of love. She played and enjoyed that piano for decades. Posted by: JQ at April 19, 2025 04:40 AM (rdVOm) 294
It had to be love to get a job like that done. Over to pixy!
