I heard that Trump is going to rename it "Biden's Fault".

Highly, highly recommended reading:

I read an earlier edition, not the latest update, but it was one of the finest pieces of technical writing I've ever across.

>> less stuff

I buy fewer things, but better quality. Total spend is comparable.

>> dietary compounds that manage the cellular environment—specifically by reducing systemic neuroinflammation and oxidative stress—which allows your brain's natural genetic machinery to express Sox9 optimally

That's a much closer answer for what I was wondering.

Thanks, RC!

My question asked what foods would support Sox9 in my brain, which isn't quite the same as asking what foods or supplements contain it.

When the body makes Sox9, it's not conjured up from thin air, it's made from building blocks within our systems. I'm curious to know if we can do anything to optimize that.

Okay, so what foods would support Sox9 in my brain?

>> Overall, the costs run $10kish per season.

At one point we had three sons playing league hockey. That number is all too true!

Another factor in the mix is a trend for "snowbird" Canadians with second homes to put their houses or condos up for sale.

Winter in the Sun Belt is less attractive these days ...

>> bioware

I like that!

Yes. I had a moment that really showed the before/after difference. At the time of the surgery we stayed in a hotel in Brandon for two nights. When we had supper in the dining room I could read the titles on the menu but had to get my husband to read the descriptions for me. That was a common routine for us. About ten days later we had lunch in the same dining room, and I was reading the descriptions for myself without needing help. I almost got weepy, thinking about the change.

When I count my blessings, Canada's health care system is high on the list.
