That for one hour per year, there are parts of Oregon where it's the same time as parts of Florida. 

  Parts of southeastern Oregon are in the Mountain Time Zone and part of the Florida panhandle is in the Central Time Zone.  The difference between those two time zones is one hour.

  Thus, when - for that one hour - Pensacola, FL sets it's clocks back for Daylight Standard Time (before Oregon does so) it's the same time in those specific areas of those two states.

My favorite extension of this law is that, say you don’t feel like owning a Guinea pig for much longer, you can RENT a Guinea pig to keep your aging Guinea pig company in the twilight of its years.  Then when your old one dies, you give the rental back to the agency.

It's illegal to own just one guinea pig in Switzerland. It's considered animal abuse because they're social beings and get lonely.

Treating people that have allergies and autoimmune disorders, should eat their boogers and anything else they can pull out to boost their immune system.

Thankfully I don’t have any allergies.

The only part on the human body that doesn’t hurt when you pinch it is elbow skin.

Yes!  It is.  Hope you can get it under control.  I take my allopurinol every day.

Evidently Jim I have been having small bouts for the last 2 years when I went on BP meds with diuretic. 3 weeks ago it hit me full force in both feet. Just now feeling human again.  Went off the diuretic so hopefully that was the cause.

Time will tell.

Feel better guys.

Never had it so I have no clue. My BinL has it in he’s feet also. He says it’s so painful the bed sheets hurt if it touches his toes.

Gout is no fun and in addition it also damages the joints when it hits you so it’s like a double whammy. Allopurinol is a huge help, there is also a drug that helps if you have a inflammation I think it’s colchicine is said to help but the cure can be as bad as the gout from what I have read.

Testing regularly to check your levels helps and try to take the meds as ordered. My Dad had it, and his Dad had it it tends to be hereditary so want your offspring and and brothers if you have them.

Hope you get relief soon.

Most likely depleted your potassium.  Eat a banana a day, should help.
