Chris ADMost vitamin supplements are offered with not even a fig leaf of research backing for their usefulness. It’s even *worse* when you have to take a vitamin supplement for a real deficiency, and the products on sale are literally worthless for that deficiency.
Cenovis’s ‘Iron Plus’ contains calcium. You *can’t* take iron with calcium or dairy because calcium prevents the iron being absorbed!
Swisse’s ‘Iron+Probiotic’ is also worthless as a ‘probiotic’ because iron is cytotoxic to those bacteria!
Mum, aged 95, watched the Matildas match last night and loved it.
After lunch, I sat her at the TV, and they're showing it again.
I told her it's a repeat, we watched it last night.
"Who won?" She asked.
Well, you're going to have to watch all the way, aren't you?
How nice, to see it unfold, with no foreknowledge, twice.

Some Brisbane fiction, for BNE.SOCIAL.
How To Kill A Client by Joanna Jenkins.
A glossy corporate law firm, offices 40 storeys above the Brisbane River.
A competitive restructure on the cards, the women lawyers having their work misappropriated and their value downplayed.
Then there's the Client. Playing one firm off against another, and keeping his wife under tight control.
As the cover says, Everyone wanted him gone but who killed him?
Good reading.
I pick my battles, this wasn't worth my time. But...
Having coffee with a friend and her Christian friend. "God is great!"
Then, somehow, "Pride is paedophilia." I bit my tongue. "Fifteen minute cities means we can't ever leave our suburb".
"Jesus will return soon"
And worse.
Then, after my friend mentioned someone who's calculated the date for Jesus's return, this nut-job said "I hate people like that, they give Christians a bad name"
I left, astonished at her lack of insight.

Found mum watching something that looks like a remake of Raiders Of The Lost Ark. With a very young actor who looks a bit like Harrison Ford.
*pause*
*thinks*
*checks TV guide*
I forgot Harrison Ford was young.

So last week a visitor mentioned the Sustagen on the bench and I said I added it to porridge.
"I wish you hadn't told me" said mum.
Every day since then
Me: what would you like for breakfast?
Mum: por...weetbix.
Ok
There is nothing wrong with her memory.
I put two spoons of Sustagen into the weetbix milk.
And there's usually a few drops left over that goes into her tea.
Oh, and she just loves mashed potato (I make it with butter, pepper, and Sustagen. Shh, no-one tell her)
It's stupid #EarthHour again tonight.
Two decades ago, it was a good idea. Demonstrate to everyone that they can reduce their electricity use and still live well.
We should be past that now, and living in a sensibly reduced electricity world.
#EarthHour in 2023 is just the worst tokenism by governments and businesses who have no intention of doing anything more meaningful.

I know I'm 7 years late to the #Lucifer party, but I've just seen the first three episodes of series one.
Lucifer wants a break from torturing people in hell, so he runs a LA nightclub. He witnesses a murder, sees the police are about to arrest the wrong person, so helps out.
The corpses are beautifully displayed Hollywood glamour. It's basically an 80s cop show with a minute of gimicky supernatural intervention.
What a senseless waste of human creativity.
👩🦯The Blind FraggleFriends, in addition to using alt text yourselves, I need you to keep spreading the message about it, telling your friends and followers to use it. I've just been seeing far fewer toots about it than I used to, and blind people can't be the only ones talking about this. Thanks!
