    I’d greatly appreciate a miraculous panacea for my rheumatoid arthritis, especially one available at turmeric’s price point. I’ve gone through a gamut of biologics that my immune system builds resistance against. Rinvoq’s doing pretty good at taking the edge off currently, but I still flare up if triggered. It’s also running a $6,000 wholesale a month… thank [deity] for insurance and copay assistance.

    Delicious food is great, but alleviating my pain and fatigue during an RA flare? Manna from heaven.

    How do you define “everyone”, though?

    Buddy of mine and I were discussing the word “buoy” a while back. His “everyone” is UK based, and pronounce it “boy”. My “everyone”, being in the Northeast US, pronounce it “booee”. Who’s correct? I’d rather use the pronunciation that doesn’t make me sound like a pedophile, depending on the content in the rest of the sentence: “I took the boat out to the end of the bay and picked up the buoy… That was quite a rough ride.”

    Stomping your foot and demanding the other person stick to your pronunciation is a bit unreasonable in that situation, ain’t it?
