Healthcare Triage on dehydration

Now I feel bad. I was going to try to grow these as an experiment about 1 1/2 years back...1)to see if I could up here and 2) to see what they're like. If I had, I would gladly mail you some fresh fruits, or dehydrate some for you. Now I might have to try this spring.

As to your second question...what's the age limit for 'older folks'? I certainly say it, but I'm 45....that's old, especially when you're as broken as I am.

@PlayhousePals ...in my house, shits can cause as many giggles as anything....sometimes more. I have a phone by the toilet, and I often call the wife just to say CWP (calling while pooping). It's always a good time. ;-)
EDIT:Also, for about a decade, we had the 'Jeff Goldblum Is Watching You Poop' meme with his giant bug eyed head above the head. Good times...good times.

Needs more warnings at the end - May cause poisonous burns, itching, rashes, scars, insects / bites, decapitation, potent hallucinogenic plant experience ego death (this is a good thing), wild fire, sneezing, rashes, pulled muscles, sweating, potential flash flood, tornado, blunt force death (hail storm), suffocation (ie quicksand), dehydration, drowning (helicopter drops retardant on you or otherwise), hypothermia, freezing, lethal stings, booby traps, rednecks, cannibals, serial killers, getting lost and starving...

UGH! I tried that once. I got a tongue covered in kiwi fur/hairs. I'm not falling for that again! ;-)
Really, we split them then dehydrate them. They last way longer that way (although keeping a kiwi isn't a problem, they don't ripen until you put them in a bag with an apple...I've kept ripe ones on the vine for months with no effect.). It also shrinks them by over 1/2.

I'll say one thing, Elon Musk didn't make his Billions (pinky to cheek) due to his masterful oratory...



Dude couldn't convince me to take a free bottle of water if I was dangerously dehydrated.

No. Aspartame is not bad for you. Sugar, however is absolutely bad for you. The purpose of this video is to show people how much aspartame is in Coke Zero vs the amount of sugar in Coke. Sugar, the number one cause of obesity, heart disease and other health issues, is far less sweet so you need a much larger amount to get the same level of sweetness as aspartame. The tiny amount of black stuff left over at the end of the Coke Zero pan is the aspartame. You need milligrams of aspartame compared to 30 grams of sugar.

All of the studies that have "shown" damaging effects of aspartame have given RATS not milligrams of aspartame, but GRAMS. This would be equivalent to a human being shoveling a pile of aspartame powder into their mouth, something that no one could even do because it would be too sweet to ingest.

Aspartame is a very simple chemical that when it enters the human body breaks down into three things, phenylalanine, methanol and aspartic acid. Once again, the amounts that these things break down into is smaller than you would get from eating comparable "natural products." You would get more methanol eating a few grapes or an apple. Aspartic acid is an amino acid that is good for you and you would once again find more of it in an oyster than in Coke Zero. And finally phenylalanine is the only thing that is of any danger to anyone. And even then, it is only dangerous to those who have phenylketonuria, a sensitivity to phenyl-groups that you would know if you have. Otherwise it is a hormone that only affects infants and is present in breast milk, one of the healthiest substances on earth for a human.

Sure, aspartame is one of the most complained about items by consumers at the FDA. But does that mean the science is wrong? No. It simply means that someone gets a headache and they blame it on the diet soda they just drank instead of the fact that they are dehydrated. Or someone has a dizzy spell because they got up too fast and they blame it on the diet soda they just drank. Aspartame has been investigated by every Federal Consumer Product group around the world and none of them have found a sufficient link to any health danger in order to take it off of the shelves. If you believe that this is a conspiracy, you are wrong. The bigger conspiracy is the rampant disregard for the danger of sugar in processed foods.

If you are curious about the dangers of sugar that are backed by solid nutritional and molecular biology, you should watch "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" on Youtube, or the movie Fed Up.

The best idea I've heard is dehydrating them, grinding them to powder, and using it as flour (or flour amendment) as they mentioned. With a fine enough grind, you won't notice the chitin (at least not in texture).
I must say, eating most insects whole never sounded appealing.

I imagine that organ is a bit dehydrated... but then if something doesn't move down the tube i don't know where the pleasurable feeling comes from...

Castration may cause more problems than it solves - a change in personality, he may need medication to replace certain hormones etc.. And some kinda distasteful comments too really..

Yep, he needed a thermometer (because fat boy there probably sweats like that in 75 deg temperatures) and a timer/sundial (because he's an obvious liar too and can't be trusted).
I agree, this would have been good if it ended with the point being proven because he passed out from heat stroke/dehydration, as it sits it's just a stupid, bad joke being driven into the ground.
Judging from the shadows outside, it probably was about 15 min tops....also judging from the condensation on the window. It was certainly not anywhere near 3 hours. I doubt he needed to mist himself down, I bet he sweats like that at the air conditioned movie theater from the exertion of lifting his big gulp. What an ass.

Uggheellck!" Who likes these?!
The one's from McDonald are like bad pie crust filled with half-cured cinnamon caulk with dehydrated chunks of apple.

Wow, it feels different around here. Yes, I got you the charter membership so you could pretty the place up and you succeeded in doing so!!!! It looks awesome...I really love the colors you chose...AND I'm so glad you finally have an avatar picture...it was time to stop procrastinating and post one already. It suits you.

Glad your headache is gone. I only get them when I spend long periods of time staring at a computer screen or when I'm dehydrated. It wouldn't surprise me if staring at a computer screen is what gave you that headache since it seemed like you were on here all day.

I don't mind so much when the power goes out (as long as it doesn't last too long)...it's fun to have to use candles and find something to do that doesn't require electricity for a change. At least you have an iphone and a connection to the internet. You're not totally cut off!

Ok, I have to ask....I'm assuming FSM is internet slang for something, but I have no idea what...and I even googled it to try to figure it out....I got "flying spaghetti monster", "female seeking male", among other things. What does it mean?

That was some SIIICK bark-o-twist rover pulled to get into position....Dig that Tail-Gaurd™ water-bowl action-"You dehydrate that baaad ol' puddy, hounders!!"
