still drink iced tea, rarely sugar sweetened but
usually sweetened with artificial sweetener. My
blood sugar stays in the normal range without
medication or insulin. ^_^


When I was a teenager, I used to drink iced tea
almost exclusively. I was so proud that it didn't
affect me. What I could not see at the time was
how I was awake till 1 to 2 Am every night, and
how sleepy I was in school.

Now that I drink nearly no caffeine, my sleep pattern
is much better.


I try to never eat or drink anything with caffeine in it after 4pm!

I would expect the car might overheat or run out of oxygen. So, how long
could you expect a car to run in a "sealed" garage?

in pittsburgh some years ago bill baierl the owner of baierl auto motive with 10 or so big car dealerships died when he left his cr running in his garage. both he and his wife. I knew bill and his family. as a customer. I was fired up bout a service issue, and barged right past his secretry and interupted a GM rep who was visiting.

bill was very nice, got service to fix my vehicle, and the service manager lost his job right after this. i was told he had lot of complaints.

bill treated me more than fairly. the lack or presence of a key doesnt change the risk.......

Darn it. That tragedy just reminded me of how I lost a friend 25 years ago. My friend JS was a Vietnam vet who was having some issues with his mental well being. It was service related and I don't think he was getting the help he needed at The VA Hospital. His mother was propping him up with her support for him but after she passed away, JS deteriorated to the point that another friend talked him out of committing suicide. Sometime later, the same friend was concerned and went to check on our troubled pal. He found JS sitting behind the wheel of his car in the closed garage at his late mother's home. JS had purposely run the car in that closed garage. His death shocked many of us friends with some of us blaming ourselves for not doing more to stop JS from taking his own life. Darn, it's a painful memory I had buried until this conversation on carbon monoxide. Now I'm upset all over again. o_O

Sorry about your loss, Monster.



Thanks Muggs, I've lost many more friends since then even one who was involved in a murder suicide that garnered a lot of local publicity. 8-(

I've lost a few people over the years, too. It doesn't get easier, either.

If it was a start stop engine, I could understand the owner not realising
it was "on", but then it wouldn't be running.

If it wasn't a start stop engine, then she would have heard the engine
running when she got out, surely? Unless she's deaf, she has no excuse.

While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible
goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account
of a "god gene" that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly
organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain
why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such
a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world
refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries
like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium,
Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least
religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations' Human
Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by
measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational
attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality.
Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in
terms of human development are unwaveringly religious.
--Sam Harris (An Atheist Manifesto)

I find it amusing that those elite atheist European countries have allowed
themselves to be invaded by crazy religious people. Perhaps they should have
paid attention to the imam who announced that,"We will conquer Europe through
the wombs of our women." You denigrate religious people yet you're allowing
violent religious wackos to come right on in and set up shop in your
countries. You're getting what you deserve. ^_^

Einstein married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage failed in 1919.
At the time he stated that he was attracted to Elsa "because she was so well endowed".
He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is even stronger if there is a DNA connection.
This came to be known as.... Einstein's Theory of "Relative Titty."

Very little noise. Electric fans, lots of sound insulation,

You'd think a car that smart would stop the engine if the car wasn't moving for a certain time. Ijn fact don't they all? Stop start they call it.
