How do you feel when you wake up in the morning? Refreshed and keen for a new day ahead? I’m guessing not… In fact, I’d be willing to bet that you go from grumpily turning off the alarm clock to diving straight into a list of frenzied to-dos stretching out ahead of you. This immediately […]

This morning, what did you have for breakfast? Now, ask yourself, how many times do you think you chewed each bite? If you’re like most, you were probably in a hurry to get out the door and start your day. As you scarfed down your avocado and eggs on toast, you probably don’t give this […]

Comment of the Week

I consumed a bunch of nutmeg a couple times in an attempt to get high back when I was 16 or so. The first time a friend and I choked back a bunch of powder with Coke over our high school lunch, which didn’t seem to do anything. Although I like nutmeg its taste can be very overpowering in large amounts and for a long time after that I could “taste” it every time I drank Coke, which at least made me stop drinking Coke for a while.
The second time was with the same friend and we boiled whole nuts with some crude grade dark chocolate and leaves from at least one type of wild plant that we thought might be hemp or a relative because it looks fairly similar. We were like why not, let’s just throw in anything that we think could make it more of a mind altering potion. It basically turned into a gross tasting muddy brew. Although I didn’t really feel “high” I was kind of out of it, even somewhat through the next day (which was kind of interesting because it was my first tackle football game (a scrimmage before the actual season games started, but same thing – I did alright at least)). At one point my mom called home and asked me to take a Delissio/whatever pizza out of the freezer and then cook it so dinner would be ready when my parents got home. I remember going to the freezer and taking out the pizza, but then when my mom got home she wondered why I had just left it on the floor outside the freezer, which I did not remember doing. That’s basically my experience with nutmeg, so in both cases it was pretty much pointless.

We have a lot of water bottles in our house: Little purse-sized ones I carry everywhere, heftier ones that I stash in the car’s cup holder, and big ones my husband and I sit next to all day while we work. Plus, the kids have a few versions we rotate through, too! And while these generally don’t get as dirty as some of our other kitchenware when we use them just for water, and not while we (or especially the kids) are eating, they need to be washed periodically.

A certain kind of film builds up on the inside, debris accumulates along the rims, and the straws can get mildewy over time. Plus, if you ever use the water bottle to hold anything else, like coffee or juice, you know that those flavors really linger. Cleaning water bottles is tricky, though, because you don’t want them to forever smell of soap or vinegar, and it’s tough to hit every nook and cranny.

And so here you go: Here’s how to clean a reusable water bottle.

5% lugol’s is available in most chemists in Victoria. The chemist just orders it in and you have it in 36hrs. Fantastic improvement with 5% lugol’s after 14 years of agony in my large bowel.
