I <3 Quora

I put 12 socks in the washer and only 11 came out. This happens a lot. Where does the missing sock go?

Redox signalling molecules

It’s more a replenishment than a supplement. It’s beyond natural, it’s Native. E.g. ginseng can be all-natural, but your body does not make ginseng. Your body makes these redox signaling molecules, so Asea is native to your body. As a result, there is zero toxicity— even water cannot claim that. It is not nutrition nor hydration, yet it provides what your body needs to make and keep itself healthy.

Redox signaling is the communication and activation that our cells need to do what they’re supposed to do: heal themselves.

It’s not nutrition, not hydration, not a drug; all those things may be good and important for the body (sans the drugs!!), however they are not native to the body. Redox signaling molecules are native; our cells produce them, we absolutely need them, and until they figured out how to stabilize these molecules (outside a live body) there was no real way to replenish our own body’s supply.

It’s very different from what we’re all used to; new field of science, minimal frame of reference for most people; that’s why it’s my job to connect people to the resources and provide exposure, education, and guidance.

This site isn’t a repository for that; ping me and we can have a human conversation about it. Those can be really good :)

Mom loves cats

My cheeks ache from smiling so hard at my mom; she wants to be able to talk with my brother’s cat to find out what [the cat] wants in her life and what she’s thinking. This is out of seemingly nowhere as she hasn’t seen my brother in over a week and hasn’t seen Marvi in months (sometime last year). And all the more precious since, up until roughly two decades ago, for most of her whole life, she had decided she didn’t like cats (compassion + tiger spirit). And then fell in love with our first cat, and fell in faster in love with our second. <3

Flinching

I’m not sure I’m better about not flinching at things flying directly at my face/eyes, including water. I have become, however, very comfortable spraying Asea into my face with my eyes open. I probably still blink through it out of natural reflex — however I know it’s safer than water and hopefully much of it is getting into my open eyes.

The drawback of this comfort is that, if I’m not paying attention, I am liable to spray other things (like face-refresh toners and leave-in hair conditioners) around or at my face without thinking of closing my eyes! —Which, with anything other than Asea, is pretty disaster (and then I definitely run for the Asea to wash it out.) Very fortunately I use those other spray-type things very rarely, like 1-3 times a year, which also means I tend to have forgotten about the last time I tripped myself up and kept my eyes open while spraying one of those things near me.

Sylvia, my first flat-panel monitor, Samsung SyncMaster, 1600×1200 (which resolution was difficult to find for years after), seems to have died. For the past five+ years have had it as the vertical monitor; it swivels so beautifully.. I don’t know when I got it, was sometime before 2006, probably was around the time of Logos. I suppose that’s a decent lifespan, although I’m still disappointed. Will consider replacement. I’m sort of still hoping it will change its mind and turn on in full-working-condition, any moment now…
