It's been really hot the past two days. I've been wearing shorts but I haven't got tanned at all. I'm not burned either, I never burn, but I'm still just white. I have weird skin.

Last night there were about five eleventh night bonfires we could see from the house. Because it was still the smoke went really high into the sky.

I'm not aat all pleased about the stupid EU ruling about food supplements. I wonder how much the pharmaceutacal companies paid for that? I don't seem why I should be forced to have Lemsip when I have the cold instead of curing it with Vitamin C. And if they ban Echinacea, they've just about cut my working ability by a third.

...they banned vitamin C? Der Fuki?

That just makes no kind of sense... have they forgotten about that whole "Scurvey" thing?

[owl]

They haven't banned all vitamins and supplements, just reduced the legal maximum dosage.

ah.

Well they did just come out with this study about too much vitamin c having soem dire consequence or another, but that's still silly.

1 gram ever time I'm sickening for the cold will neither make nor mar me.

[leeflower.livejournal.com]

yeah, exactly.

If you're doing a gram a day on top of a normal diet, that might screw yyou up. but as a cold remedy? that's silly.

Meh????????

Wow, and people complain about the drug restrictions over here in the US!

[owl]

The EU is so stupid. I wish we could get out of it. Britian's the only member stupid enough to keep all the rules.

Just realized that you don't live in the US, like I thought, but in, Britain, correct?

O.O You learn something new every day ;p

Yes, Northern Ireland, to be exact. What gave you the impression I was in America?

[dancinggoldfish.livejournal.com]

I actually have no idea. Probably the very arrogant/American assumption that unless someone tells me differently, they live in the same country as me ;p

Do you like Ireland?
