Anyhow, there is lots to report from casablanca. First, I would like to discuss the thing which is at the forefront of my mind: fish oil supplements. Does anyone else take this stuff? I've had achy joints lately and heard the Omega-3's would help lubricate them more. It's only day 3 of my regimen. I'm not sure if I'm having an especially gassy morning or what, but me oh my, belching fish oil before noon is distracting. Ugh.
Other than belching up fish oil, let me see... oh yeah, John Adams. Has anyone else been watching this HBO series? We rented the first season (maybe the only season?), got hooked, and have been speaking the King's English since. There is much to be learned from this time, like bloodletting, calomel, and manners. Manners, dear child. For without our sensibilities, I pray, what do we have? I'm embarrassed to admit that 4 HBO episodes has taught me more than my 12 years of American History class. To watch our forefathers come to life through Paul Giammatti and David Morse is like watching a coin talk. I cracked up during the scene where they introduce George Washington:
Watching Abigail Adams argue with John Adams was inspiring, to say the least. While I may be found mumbling, "selfish sonuvahbitch" to Terry, Abigail Adams confronts her husband head-on in the clearest of voices, "your duty, sir, lies first in the affairs of your family, you rotund bald chowderhead." Smart lady, I tell ya. Check it out, if you're jonesin' for a good history lesson and some steamy 18th century style sex scenes. And, fyi- Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson are an added forefather-hottie bonus.I must retire now to the duties of my family's affairs, putting aside my blogging self-regard. For truly, my fellow Americans, the realties of mankind are found not here within this technological web we've woven, but on the battlefield of life! Can I get a "here, here"?
(That paragraph took me 5 entire minutes to compose. And for that (and tampons), I'm grateful that I was born in the 20th century. Here, here!)

The latter paragraph exhibited great patriotic gusto, my dear lady, and certainly praiseworthy matronly wisdom in regards to the invention of the 20th century tampon.
I just improved my supply of fish oil, Nordic Naturals, and bought some children's lemon zest flavor ones for the kids. I never realized you could chew them (I have a phobia about swallowing titanic pills, so now I am more apt to take them 3x a day rather than once. I take them to reduce chances of breast cancer and to boost brain function (thus, I give them to the kids). As with all supplements, it takes about 3 months for things to kick in.
However, I do swear by glucosamine for joint aches. It is made up of crab shells. Start hosting crab & shrimp boils once a week @ casablanca!
okay - don't know you but got to your blog via Moma Boots.
I have to let you know that we are also fish-oil-takers and have had no fish oil issues with our current brand. In the past, we have had a bad batch though. My hubby was particularly badly affected and, as I share intimate space with him, I felt the unpleasantness as well.
And, MB is correct about the glucosamine. However, shop around as that stuff can be pricey!
Very funny stuff you write. It feels like what I think of but can't seem to get out via the keyboard. In short, I enjoyed the bloggings.
