It can also be a vitamin B12 and/or folate deficiency. In any case you will soon know and corrective measures will be taken.

It's not just oxalic acid -- too much of anything is bad for you. Even iron.

Too much spinach can also leech calcium out of the bones. Too much Vitamin A can cause blindness. And the list goes on.

As for collards -- hey, Bobert! Come on out and I'll cook up a mess with sidemeat and a little cornbread to sop up the potlikker!

Bobert-
Been there. Nothing helped until a competent hemotologist started me on Procrit injections. Worked fine, though I'm still getting shots every two weeks..

Poached bear!

Hey, my buddy was back under the camp when I arrived yesterday morning. The flies are so bad this time of year (although there were hardly any flies of any type yesterday until dark and after 9AM today) that I was the only one of five close neighbours at camp in the past several weeks. So, the animals get used to us being away.... bear under the camp where it's cool.... big bull moose in the driveway.... rabbits on the lawn.... perrigrine falcon on the upper deck railing.... pack of coyotes howling less than a hundred yards away.... etcetera.

Ditto the greens: all you can hold.

Cook EVERYTHING in cast iron (like they said).

And, keep a pot of chili going: red meat, lots of kidney and other beans, a little molasses, a stout beer, along with all the usual spices. That's what I cooked for a friend with anemia: it's a bowl of iron, easily digested and yummy.

Take care of yourself.

"...chili going: red meat, lots of kidney and other beans, a little molasses, a stout beer, along with all the usual spices." And all them greens ta others mentioned. Ya know, throw dehydration from shittin yer drawers all day on top of anemia and ya got a real problem. Of course, you'll have no problem with the nap thing... ya won't have any time.

With that diet, all I can add is ya better get some Preparation H and a good diaper rash cream. And, LOTS a swipe.

Well, now I am really steamed....

This ol' gal is such a prude and every time I see her she nags and nags me about drinkin' beer... Okay, I mighta mentioned that before... I'm here to tell ya' that if I were to go to her wioth poison Ivy she'd blame it on beer!!! I swear she would... As God as my witness, Doc Meanie woudl blame the poison ivy on beer...

So, ah hah... The new test results came back last week and Doc BeerHater was on vacation but like on Friday I called and her nurse, NurseFromHell, RN, told me that tho she couldn't tell me what the results were that I most likely still had anemic levels in my blood... Thanks fir nuthin, RN (Registered Nut)...

So I fret all weekend... Actually I didn't... I had a nice weekend...

So another nurse, who must be like Doc BobertNagger's siter, calls me today and says that all my nummers are no normal and that I ain't anemic BUT Doc MeanieMouth says I should cut my beer consumption to no more than two a day!!! Like that's gonna happen...

Ya' know what? Now that I've moved down here to Luray, I'm goina' find me a new doctor.... I mean, why should I have have to drive 70 miles to be nagged????

I don't think I had anemia in the 1st place... Them folks prolly just made the entire thing up to scare me into living like they do as prudes...

That's me story and, as per usual, unless someone comes up with pictorial evidence to the contrary, Iz sticken' to it...

Shoot, Rap...

Hey, when was the last time you moved while trying to renovate the new place, move 10 million plants, get 2 new purchased properties fixed up and rented, be finishing up opne major renovation in Winchester and looking a the next one up here???? No wonder I'z tired... In the last 3 months I have sold one propert, purchased 4, loaded up 19 trailer loads of stuff, painted my old house, played music regularlly and kept up with ther P-Vine's honey-do list...

Yeah, I think I have figgured out why Iz tired and a tad confuzerated...

Like the ol' Humble Pie song, "I don't need no doctor, fir what is ailin' me....

And as fir the confuzeration situation... Don't knock it if ya ain't tried it.... No, really, okay maybe I was a little confuzerated an' maybe my red corps-pussles were down a tad... Ntuhin' a couple side order of beets can't fix....

Plus, like I said, if ya ain't tried confusion, don't knock it... Ain't no secret round this joint that I occasionally get a tad confuzerated, is it???
