Jane, a 147,000-post millstone is coming up, maybe even this weekend!

Thanks for the warning.

Jane, is it electrolytes you are needing? (I'm behind, because I was out of town several days.)

I don't actually need them yet.  It is a possibility I will as I go through the side effects of reducing my prednisone.  I thought it would be good to research my options and have some just in case I need them. 

It is possible the drop in my meds will cause my BP to drop and it already tends to be low.  I am already dealing with a bit of virtigo and don't need more caused by low BP.

Hopefully I won't have a problem.  I figure it is better to be prepared and not have an issue than to have a problem and not have a solution handy.

If it's electrolytes -- coconut water has the electrolytes naturally. The Vita Coco in the white box is pressed -- very tasty.

I found coconut water to be vile when I started using it. I guess I got used to it. Still not my favorite, but it does the job.

Caine’s great in The Muppet Christmas Carol and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

He is great in everything, even the not so great films he has done.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have seen coconut water seems to be the best option.  Not only do I dislike it intenstly, it does not agree with me.  I couldn't eat fresh coconut when I was young, only toasted.  The last time I had fresh coconut water (right off the tree) it made me sick.

Still, the Vita Coco might make for a good option to keep in case of an emergency.  I'm on their website and a few are in the white box.  Do you remember which one it is by name?  None of them say "pressed".

Has anyone watched Twelfth Night yet on PBS?

I didn't know Twelfth Night was on PBS! Is this last year's Public Theatre performance? I think it was last year.

Here’s the link.

It was this year’s production with Peter Dinklage, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Lupita Nyong’o.

The first coconut water I tried had another fruit juice in it. It was vile. A friend told me to try the plain, which was a little better. But I got the pressed one once and actually liked it.

I drink one in the summer if I feel a little "off." It helps.

I also drink one before a blood donation -- just to prereplenish (which is not a word).

Both are excellent ideas.

I find it interesting that I did not see the pressed one on their website.  I should look again.

I saved this sample from DR Ginny years ago and still use it, just substituing the new link and what I want to say. 

This is a very touching story of a flight with a fallen solider on board.

Back from rehearsal. Drilled a lot, but most importantly, got most of a duet number staged with me and the dance captain doing it. I think we got eighty percent of it done, so I'll figure out the last 20% here.

I didn't want to sit in a restaurant, so stopped at the mail place, opened a claim for the package the UPS screwed up, then came home. Took thirty minutes to decide on food and I'm not sure I even wanted what I ordered - fried catfish.

I know I am not explaining it well.  Where the sample I showed from Ginny says "This is a very touching story of a flight with a fallen solider on board", replace it with what you want to say to go with the new URL address.

Does that help?
