> But, Blue dog , are you aware of the now-famous contemporary 'bluedog' paintings by a fellow out of New Orleans? I'ved often wondered if your name is some sort of reference to his art. I lived in N.O. in the mid-eighties and they were beginning to catch on then. N.O. has lots of galleries and by the time I moved, 'buedog' had become ubiquitous, at least in lower La. and he also went national turning up in mag ads now and then. Did he do a Smirnoff vodka print in their artist series? I'm not sure~Just babbling.
No I'm not familiar with this art at all and my posting name is not related to this. Heres a link to the story behind my posting name. see http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20021206/msgs/33214.html

> p.s. If you're not familiar with the 'bluedog' artist, I'll try to find a graphic on the web.I'd love a link to a graphic on the web if you can find one :) :).
==================================================================================================>Oh, and to make this post subject-appropriate, how can you who take handfulls of supplements daily do it? I mean swallow all those capsules and orbs, etc. My mom-in-law takes, I think, 17 Shaklee vits/minerals, etc., every a.m. I have trouble getting Darvocet or Soma down, along with the 4 other meds I take daily. If I remember my multiple, b12 and E, it's a red-letter day for me. And I MUST eat something after swallowing almost any pill, lg. or small, or it sticks in my throat. Liquids just don't cut it.
Alright, in order to avoid being sanctioned by Dr Bob for innapropriate posts on the med board I can tell you the following:-
1.I always take my supplements with food. (except for my L-Tyrosine and DLPA supplements wich should be taken on their own half an hour before food)
2.If they are water soluble (my L-Tyr and DLPA supps are water soluble and I find it doesn't upset my tummy this way either) I will actually dissolve my supplements in a glass of water to make it easier for me to take.
3. I am currently in the process of rationalising my supp regime to try and minimize the number of pills I take each day.
4.For all my pills and capsules but especially those big hard to swallow pills I actually first take a mouthful of water, then I slip the pill into my mouth (through tightly closed lips so the water doesn't dribble down my chin) so that the pill ends up sort of floating in the middle of this mouthful of water and then I take another larger sip of water as I swallow the pill. I find this tends to lubricate the pills and they don't tend to get stuck in the back of my throat this way.
kind regards
