yeah - funny story. I did two batches of bread and then I had to go lie
down for a bit because the back was twisty-knotty. And then I slept for
like 6 hours.

Okay, then. I've never heard of an anti-fatigue mat before. Or a bosu
ball. You sure have some mighty strange stuff over there in foreignland.

I Copenhagen they use (or used to at least) water from the lakes - which
are actually remnants of the fortifications. Filtered and possibly
treated with chlorine (for the brane washing obviously). Otherwise we
don't really have a lot of surface water so it's mostly ground water
from wells. Hence the calcium content.

Today I made some burger buns. I had to in order to properly serve the
pre-shaped burger patties I had in the freezer. Now I have burger buns
but no more burger patties. Oh well.

I think that is actually the reason some places flouridate the drinking
water. Around here we use tooth paste for that.

Not especially, I don't think. It builds strong bones - or brittle if
one is an older person (more so women than men I've heard).

Lime I would worry about a bit. I've seen in the movies what it can do
to dead bodies. A bit extra iron is probably good for you.

I can use the buns for other things than burgers. I only had the patties
because I happened to buy a non-standard measure of mincemeat so I had
some left over - enough for two burger patties as it happened.

You should have accepted that brane massage when I offered, possibly.

It does have some positive benefits for the teeth as well, so I've
heard. And who have ever heard of a dentist who recommends treatments
not strictly necessary?

That's cholesterol mostly, I believe. Calcium builds up on your teeth if
you are a dry-mouth. And fluoride does nothing about that.

I for one am quite pleased to have my teeth's picture taken every few
years. To check for invisible to the naked eye cracks or breakage. It
did help with finding the last bit of tooth from the one I had to have
replaced a few years back. And that one didn't cost me anything because
it was a bit the dentist missed the first time around.

I've never had a lead sheet put on me, though the operator do move to
the next room for the raying. Then again I don't think I pay more that
~$70 per (usable) pic.

First of all I'm a little hurt you think I would use 5G permeable brane
oil. Second of all they can do that anyway with the chip that was in the
vaccine.

Don't they have warranty for that sort of thing? I had a porcelain
insert made many years ago that fell off after seven or eight years. I
went back to the dentist who installed that and had the tooth rebuild
(with that white stuff they use for fillings now) for free.

It's an inherent flaw in the design. I bet a consumer protection

Just the choice of material alone is a scandal.
