 BF> Hi there                  11/2/06 10:12 PM
 
 BF> The endocrinologist called me last night at 9 o'clock.  Seems the only
 BF> organ that's acting up is the adrenal glands... one or the other of
 BF> them.  Producing too much Aldosterone, which makes me loose Potassium
 BF> like crazy, and makes my blood pressure high and volatile.

Is that something that can be treated easily with a shot or a pill or
something?


 BF> available...... and the text!

 BF> 1.)  Ventouri Wine Aerator, $34.95  "Why wait for a wine to breath

I would rather use a much prettier and much cheaper glass decanter.

 BF> insert the vacuum stopper, remove the air with the manual pump

I have wondered if they would be any good. Glen has pointed out to me
that alcohol has a lower vapour pressure than water and the partial
vacuum would suck up alcohol fumes and weaken the wine.

 BF> 3.)  My favorite:  Wine Aging System.
 BF> "....when dipped into a glass of wine, will age the wine one year for
 BF> each second the alloy is in contact with the wine,"

What utter nonsense!

 BF> 4.)  The Amazing Wine Clip, $34.95    "....uses principles of
 BF> magnetics to instantaniously improve the taste of the wine as it is
 BF> being poured from the bottle."

Ditto!

 BF> I guess I'll get one of each.  Boy, will I be a full blown
 BF> connoisseur!  MLoo will be blindly jealous!

Go for it!
