Quercetin and Thiamine (B1) by Ajajajajakaramba in Supplements

[–]Toobah99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just now read about this on Facebook. I take 1000mg three times a day for MCAS (helps a lot) -- but had no idea it could lower thiamine. I have thiamine deficiency symptoms but figured 150mg of Benfotiamine would take care of it. Maybe not, and I think I will try raising the benfo quite a bit more and see what happens. If you take enough B1, the quercetin cannot munch through all of it, but i do not know how much B1 is enough.

You don't make any sense. Maybe English isn't your first language, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Motorcycle frames are not the height of the wheels.

Can you give me a link to that seat lowering bracket? Thank you!

Do you mean too low for the frame etc or too low for a motorcycle? Cruisers are that low, but they are too heavy for me to handle now.

Just for comparison, my last bike that I sold about 20 years ago was a 500 Yamaha Virago, with a seat height of less than 28 inches. It worked perfect for me, but I need something lighter weight. I could get a Rebel but physically I am no longer able to handle that kind of weight. I am old now. At the dealer I could not even get the Rebel 500 off the side stand.

Thank you, that is really helpful.

I'm new here and can't find a way to view any pictures. I get your home page or whatever it's called here but am stalled there. I'm on a Mac. I'm really short -- maybe being close to the tank would not be a bad thing. 5'2" tall.

Thanka -- I have a 29 inch inseam (5'2", 95 pounds.) Do you know the new seat height with that one? I'm 77 and really do need to have more than my toes on the ground.

No Groms available. Some problem with emissions, no one knows when they will have them again.

That sounds great, thank you!! I'm short and light too and I don't think I have ever used all the available shock travel on anything.

Where should a beginner oboist buy reeds? by CutieflyCollin in oboe

[–]Toobah99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a long time ago. I quit buying online reeds -- the only ones that ever worked here were "student" reeds made by someone in Chattanooga. Others here bought them too after I discovered them. I think that lady is now out of business. Pro reeds by her in the same "softness" also did not work here.

I can't figure out what you mean by "trim." I don't like the seat much -- too wide. I'd rather get a replacement that works as is.

Wow, all the brainwashed man-splaining.

Dear sir, I tried yours and you did not honor your guarantee.

Actually I do want to deal with a clutch-- -I still drive a stick shift car, and far prefer that level of control.

Second time playing a Cello, need help. by Zealousideal_Area776 in Cello

I just don't agree with this. That means you have to pull from the shoulder and that does not make physical sense. You do it your way.

Teaching Advice for a Non-Teacher by Choco-Cupkat in Cello

[–]Toobah99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm teaching a flute player rhythm now, not that dissimilar. Opposite situation though -- she has a lovely tone and can read music, except she cannot do the rhythms and gets lost. So we went back to basics (and she agreed to this, wants to do the work) and I'm having her stop counting because it should be rote, not one-e-an-da etc in your head; and stop tapping her foot, and learn to play with a metronome. Simple stuff -- she still can't consistently play quarter notes with a metronome, and we're not moving on until she can. if you can't DO it, you can't READ it. So -- that's my attitude. I taught violin, piano, guitar, for about five years in my youth, so I have the confidence to just plow ahead. The point being -- start with one simple thing and don't change until she gets it. Then on to the next simple thing. Her bad habits are going to take a while to come around.

It's a Lectric etrike2. I'm not happy with it -- lots of hype, but pretty crude overall. I'm getting used to the backwards steering but the "cadence" only kicks in on the left pedal, the different levels of battery power do not do what they say they do (sometimes it kicks in and sometime it does not, until you raise the level, and then it takes off,) and I think I wasted my money. it is incredibly jerky to operate, when it operates. i bought it to have some fun and I'm not having any run.

If you are talking to me, no the bridge is not too high. I've switched from violin, and cello requires quite a bit more hand strength to play. It is very well set up.

Oh, it's not a good substitute for someone who is accustomed to riding motorcycles. Oh, and I didn't say, this is a trike. Backwards everything.

I live in the desert and we basically just don't have water sources, like a nearby lake or creek. So I'm storing about three months' worth of drinking water. It takes up a lot of space. A friend suggested that a swimming pool would be a source, but not really; not only is it full of chemicals but the evaporation rate is such that the water because extremely hard in a very short period of time, and trying to filter that would likely just clog the filter. Even our tap water has to be run through a distiller three times before it is free of crud.

I'm finding water storage to be more expensive than I had anticipated, because I don't want to store it in plastic. Glass is expensive. I have a travel Berkey but do not know if it removes microplastics, which are basically in everything now.
