Imagine this fun scenario

This probably won't make any sense but I will know what its about when I read it ten years later.

Imagine there is this self important, needy, gold digger who lives in your neighborhood. Not only is she loud and obnoxious, she also only speaks a foreign language with a irritating, sharp accent.

Then imagine all of a sudden, you find out she is possibly moving in with you and you may have to dedicate your life to her needs and wants. To make it worse she comes with this whole entourage of loud pimps and they are going to rip out the gardens you built and replace them with a asphalt pad and a vending machine which sells even more things that attract even more pimps.

Then imagine everyone around you saying, well if she lives with you, you no longer have the neighborhood restrictions on your property. You can rent the attic without a fire escape or even build a freaking waterslide out the front window. Would you hate her any less? What if it meant you had to give up english?

Osama is Dead?!

He is finally dead - they got him in Afghanistan. Apparently, it happened a week ago but they were waiting to confirm the DNA. Will this finally mean the end to war? Or is it only the beginning of vengeance?

Eternel Flame

Despite the rain we made it to the eternal flame at chestnut ridge. It was not lit and our small lighter wasn't helping. Next time we will have to return with one of the barbeque lighters.

Orange Tongue Continued

I think this might be the worst day of it ever. According to some reports I was reading it could be caused by a bacteria that produces melanin. They made it not sound very dangerous but I still hate it.

I can't believe it was barely present yesterday morning when I went to the dentist.

How does it matter if the seed is ground up or very well-chewed up? You have destroyed the tough covering. Surely the extract of the seed, once exposed to mucosa is similarly absorbed as the regular extracts?

paul writes at 01:04:44 10/07/11 - Comment #65381: Grapefruit and grapefruit seed extract and no where near the same. Seeds and fruit often have very different properties. For example you can eat a cherry, but you can't smash up and eat a cherry pitt, etc. And we all know apple seed extract would be no where near as ok as apple juice.

tinypliny writes at 12:23:06 10/07/11 - Comment #65378: I say drink water with baking soda and just eat grapefruit. Carelessly made grapefruit juice is somewhat like grapefruit seed extract. I think they are too lazy to get the seeds out.

paul writes at 12:15:45 10/07/11 - Comment #65375: It seems kind of scammy, why all the STD testing ads. Maybe if I got free Grapefruit Seed Extract.

tinypliny writes at 11:48:06 10/06/11 - Comment #65374: Wow! Who knew there was already a website!! (e:Paul) - you have to see this!

HeavyHitter writes at 10:11:41 10/06/11 - Comment #65373: Hi,
I had Orange Tongue too, and was able to calm it down using certain supplements and extracts like Grapefruit Seed Extract. I think I have finally gotten rid of it completely by drinking high amounts of alkaline water, which I believe has neutralized the acid where the bacteria was fluorishing. I notice you have some really good pictures and I was wondering if you would let me use a couple of them on my informational site www.tonguecolor.com to help other people identify and treat their orange tongue as well. Thanks a lot.

tinypliny writes at 12:53:15 05/01/11 - Comment #62095: Did you read that bit about oranamental mucocutaneous tattooing for mating, South African female tribal customs and the use of naphthoquinones for oral health - that leads to bright orange tongues? Fascinating!!!!

And lol, I was next going to suggest that (e:Matthew) train his super awesome cameras at your and (e:Terry)'s tongue and take high resolution sharper pictures so we can compare them minutely.

paul writes at 12:28:32 05/01/11 - Comment #62094: I doubt it, he will prob kill me for mentioning it. I reviewed that document before. I wonder if the orange might be the same as the brown/black.

tinypliny writes at 11:49:09 05/01/11 - Comment #62093: Can you get (e:Terry) to post pictures of his tongue?

tinypliny writes at 11:48:23 05/01/11 - Comment #62092: Page 125 and Page 108: :::link:::

Also, melanin is brownish-black not orange. Something called pulcherrinin, a bacterial pigment is orange.

paul writes at 11:34:48 05/01/11 - Comment #62091: Maybe I should just stop using any mouthwash :::link::: I have nothing to lose. On the other hand the dentist said my teeth were so super clean the other day and my gums were very healthy. She barely had to clean anything.

paul writes at 11:31:18 05/01/11 - Comment #62090: Actually, (e:Terry) has orange on his tongue. I saw it last night so maybe it is contagious, although its not like we make out.

Here is my new theory: I had the geographic tongue but no orange tongue at all. Then I got the antibiotic magic mouthwash from the oto-laryngologist to treat the geographic tongue. It killed off my good bacteria and somehow the melanin producing one flourished. Other people that report this issue seem to mention that it followed antibiotics.

tinypliny writes at 11:18:18 05/01/11 - Comment #62088: Since you can't change your diet all of a sudden, there won't be any radical changes but over a long period of time, subtle changes, if any will become apparent with enough body of data.

tinypliny writes at 11:16:35 05/01/11 - Comment #62087: Let's say the melanin-forming-bacteria theory is true, why are they colonizing you?? Why are circumstances favouring their colony-forming behaviour in your system? Why not (e:terry) or (e:matthew)?

tinypliny writes at 11:14:01 05/01/11 - Comment #62086: I don't think its because of the food you eat - I was trying to get more at the *conditions* that eating and the schedule of eating create in your body in general and your mouth in general. That is exactly why I encouraged you to keep a detailed food dairy and correlated worse or better days with what kinds of foods and food schedules you follow. It becomes easier to locate patterns if recall is not biased and has a broader focus than just, hey, I ate that one thing the other day and it was not linked to it or maybe, I had that one episode of stress or maybe drank a litre of that juice that made it worse/better.

paul writes at 11:01:51 05/01/11 - Comment #62085: It is there everyday by the end of the day no matter what I eat. Even when I ate the indian food for two days. I think it is not related to what I eat but is rather some bacteria that produces melanin that has colonized my body. Its there less in the morning in general and by night its the worst. It seems to have no relation to what I eat. At least it does not hurt. I wonder what the gastro-enterologist will say on thursday.

tinypliny writes at 10:59:25 05/01/11 - Comment #62084: "Everyone thinks ((e:matthews)) pictures happen effortlessly but I had to move this giant log that was blocking the view"

HAHAHA... I had to laugh out loud when I read that. Made me think of this post: :::link:::

tinypliny writes at 10:11:02 05/01/11 - Comment #62080: Alrighty. What did you eat in the last 3 days? Write it all down.
Was it there on Thursday?

Nice weather for basra

The leaves are finally blossoming on the trees around my house. It seems to have take so long this year.

Interestingly, I put the tortoise out in the cold weather yesterday because he was going crazy inside after realizing there was in fact an outside.

I was hoping he would understand it was shitty outside. He ended up digging a hole and getting dirt in his eyes.

Hiking at zoar valley

Despite it being such a beautiful day there was barely anyone there.

I carried this freaking heavy 35 lb rock a mile uphill from the creaked to the car so that the tortoise could have a new basking rock. You can see it on (e:terry,54191)

It felt so great to lay out in the sun. I feel bad that (e:mike) had to work today.

Everyone things (e:matthews) pictures happen effortlessly but I had to move this giant log that was blocking the view.

Here he is taking the pic.

(E:terry) and I climbed up a new cliff. We had to leave (e:matthew) behind a bit because of his fractured rib. See if you can see him in the pic - he is a tiny dot. Its so hard to tell just how steep and far up this is from the pic.
