Damn, for almost a week I have been forgetting to
post about my recent experience. So, since
I finally remembered;

Not long ago I started noticing that when I would
play the guitar I was missing a lot of the strings.
Also I was doing weird stuff like bumping into
the edges of doorways on occasion,
instead of gracefully passing through them.
Sometimes when standing still, it would feel like
my feet were sliding apart in this kinda weird
almost spinning sensation. Sometimes numbness
in the hands.

Anyway, finally, it dawned on me that perhaps
30 years involved in electronics with a good
20 of them heavily involved in prototyping guitar
amp designs, might have taken it's toll. So I did some
research online and discovered that indeed my symptoms
just might well be those of lead poisoning.

So have you considered just getting a test done? There are real systems for
Dx-ing and treating that sort of thing that don't involve guessing and eating
odd weeds.

I believe it was mercury that got the hatmakers.

Are we to blame lead for some of the blithering rage, inchoate hatreds and
shrieking, unending verbal spewage that we are subjected to around here.

They say it was the lead that caused house painters to become the drunks that
they historically were. Is this refuted by the fact that so many painters are
still drunks even though the lead is gone. Does it explain more of the drinking
habits of some of our players around here.

Get the fillings replaced with composite while you're at it. There's enough
idiocy here already.
