 NB>> saccherin, on the other hand, is an sure-fire trigger.
 NB>> Stress, the release of stress, and hormonal factors (especially back
 NB>> then) are also regular triggers for me...

 ML> Those are other standard ones. Thinking about them can
 ML> cause them, it seems - right now for me I'm in a pre-aura

True, on both counts... the latter especially if one is kinda on the
edge anyway...  Stress and probably scent (Glade?) got me this past
Monday night, when I had to go out to Tika's when she was ill instead of
going to bed as I was planning...  I've still got the remnants of that
one going... ;(

 ML> stage and am sad that I tossed my (outdated - I had to go on
 ML> it for a year or two after my brain thing) seizure medication,
 ML> because that could hold off the problem.

Going through a dresser drawer recently, I came upon an OLD bottle of
ergotamine... I had to stop taking them to stave off the migraines when
I got pregnant, lest I have a premature delivery...  Guess I never used
them up afterwards...  I learned some years ago that seizures and
migraines were related... both because my cousin has petit mal and we
share some of the same triggers (flashing lights, among them), and
because I had a rather scary hemiplegia as a forerunner to a migraine
once... thankfully only that once... :)

 NB>> The son (your father? or an uncle?) seems to have the proper Asian
 NB>> genetics, then...

 ML> That was my father. My uncle didn't live very long, thanks
 ML> I believe to the Reds - not directly (as my grandfather on
 ML> that side) but due to conditions caused by them. The question
 ML> is why I don't have the proper Asian genetics.

Maybe it came down through your grandmother that served rare steak to
her guests...?  ;)

 ML>> Curious - how does my . (c with a cedilla) show up on your setup?
 NB>> Curiously... I'm seeing the gamma and the c with cedilla just fine in
 NB>> your messages... and saw it as a gamma in UDD's message... Dunno how
 NB>> it will translate in my reply, but it looks fine at this end... :)

 ML> Now it looks like a raised dot. What does it look like to you?

Now it just looks like a period.

 NB>>> Better friendships are built on trust, and that
 NB>>> can lead to deeper relationship...  ;)
 ML>> I wasn't into such, but sometimes a shallow, even throwaway
 ML>> relationship is what fills the bill for both parties.
 NB>> True... even there, a modicum of trust is usually helpful.  ;)

 ML> Not sure. I have had short-termers, but always with women
 ML> who were friends beforehand. Never picked up a total stranger,
 ML> a caution that in this disease-ridden world that probably has
 ML> contributed to my survival to the age of 60.

There you go... a modicum of trust is helpful... not just to
relationship (as long as it survives) but also to your survival.. :)

 NB>> What about hard-boiled eggs... can you easily get the shells off
 NB>> the super-fresh ones...?  Of course, I usually end up using them
 NB>> in things, too... so it could be less of a taste issue there, too.  

 ML> If one rolls the eggs around on the counter, the shells might
 ML> come off easier - the problem is that a fresh egg is very full,
 ML> and that membrane between the shell and the white is tight, so
 ML> it sticks to both. In a less fresh egg, the fit is looser.

Yup, that's been my experience... I've used the rolling technique on
slightly older eggs, too, with better success than without... I was
wondering if you knew something I didn't about getting the shells off
them...

 ML> The taste is worth a somewhat raggedy white.

True, for the occasional time I've actually done them that fresh.  :) 
At least, as long as taste was the issue, and not appearance (not
usually a factor for me, though, as entertaining isn't something I do
very often...)

 ML> For me the worst problem is that a fresh hard-boiled egg makes my
 ML> fingers scream when I peel it - some vibration goes through my
 ML> fingers, up my arms, and all the way to my ears or my brain.

You are very sensitive to sound and vibration, aren't you...  By the
way, that squeal/growl in my car has been fixed (knock on wood)... at
least I haven't heard it at all since the bearing in the right rear
wheel was replaced, and the rear aligned.  Interestingly, the only time
that I was getting the noise was under the conditions we had that day,
the very wet roads, and driving on them at high speeds.  My experience
with bad bearings in the past has had them making noise just about all
the time, not just under severe conditions...

... If they call you paranoid, it means they're in on it.
