Nasogastric Tubes. I cannot make this up. This is actually happening.

When you thought it was crazy enough to grind up bird food and bleach it before you bake it into bread, neolithic humans invent something worse:

Months of winter forcing you to chow down on ‘comfort food’ making you feel like Violet Beauregarde? You’re in luck: the New York Times was kind enough to shine a spotlight on the latest diet trend sweeping the nation (in this case, a nation made up almost solely of prospective brides looking to shed a couple-twenty pounds): nasogastric tubes, which provide a highly controlled daily dose of calories after being inserted through the nostril, down the esophagus, and into the stomach.

Follow Up on Hair Loss

How is this working out for me? It’s not clear.

I’m thinking that I’m losing less hair. However, I’m not gaining more hair (so much.)

At least, so I think.  Its hard to measure by looking at it, as the thickness of hair seems to change with however much conditioner or natural oils are in it, and it’s always growing and changing length (when you cut it.) It makes me want to research how we measure it to see what can be done. [Looking for comments here.]
