C6H12O6 is the molecular formula for glucose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is a crucial source of energy for living organisms. It consists of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
Attract? What every simple sugar wants, Swabbie; to find that right other monomer with which to form a lasting glycosidic bond; to fulfill their dreams of one day being packed together into a Valentine's box of Russell Stovers.
omg, thank you, I had no clue. I am so happy with all of the work Kennedy and his staff, and doctors like Robert Malone, are doing to MAHA. I have been a insulin dependent diabetic for 42 years and I don't see a cure in sight. Only expensive ways for us to live with the disease. I work hard to stay healthy, but it would be much easier wo/diabetes.
I was just thinking Carbon and H2O....... basically what is coming out of the fuel the car is burning....... which are the building blocks of life....... coming out of a bug..... or something. My brain hurts today.
Not hardly. Another reason why I often wonder why we want Republicans in Congress if they couldn't even stop the E10 requirement. It makes me feel stupid to be a registered Republican since 1970, when I voted for Conservative James L. Buckley anyway.
I was puzzling over this at the Waffle House this morning. I asked the waitress, "Do you know what C6H12O6 is?"
"It's simple sugar." Then she just walked away, as if she were guarding the mystery. As if their order of hash browns couldn't wait 3 seconds for her to tell me the answer.
Some years back a woman once owned a blue Chrysler Horizon, one of those little hatchback competitors to the Japanese models. Her kids got her a personalized license plate (in California) that read "BEYOND". So then she would drive Beyond the blue Horizon. I saw pictures of it but never saw the car in person.
Thanks Ned! Yep! Average American consumes about 150 POUNDS (includes liquid corn syrup in all forms) of this a year! Of course Big Food and Big Pop denies it has anything to do with our obesity crisis. Need a injection for that. Lilly is thrilled. What is getting old is the continued discussion of the harm of RNA's and the push to inject goes on! Five years of medical derangement at it's worst.
PS: American Heart Association says 60# Mayo Clinic says 100#. Who is right?
AI quotes America Heart Association and Mayo. But here is what the American Diabetic Association says:
Glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula, because they have the exact same combination of atoms, just arranged differently. Think of a pocketknife: open or closed has the same parts, but different capabilities.
Happy Holy Week, Happy Passover to everyone! In a very physical way we are all connected. It doesn’t seem to be a coincidence that the Christian Holy Week began thousands of years ago during Passover Week. These connections of religions, of people, should be recognized.
As a young kid growing up I have magical memories of this week. For a time my parents, my mother’s parents and all of us 4 kids lived in my families small 4 bedroom home. Even with us 3 boys all in one room I grew up in what seemed like a mansion. This little house was full of life, it was a palace to me. My mother, my parents, made Easter “the holiday” for all of us, I only wish I could have had the wisdom as a little boy to better understand. How my mother worked so hard to make these holidays special for our family was a miracle in itself, what she did.
Every religion has its rituals and although I was taught what Good Friday and Easter were I lived decades of my life with no real connections to how these Holy days should so connect in everyone’s life. I went into church and catechism through my childhood; I went in without life’s connections and would come out without those connections. I didn’t get what “their” service, “their” religion had to do with me, it was 2000 years ago. You could say for over 50 years of my life I wondered through the desert without connecting my religious history to my life. People can wonder through the desert their whole life, it’s their right, until they die, ignoring history and all of those connections to life. It’s a very lonely place, I’ve been there.
If we become successful, should we think we did that all on our own? In a way we did but we all have help, our life itself, here on this beautiful planet, is a true miracle. From a dead seed grows a green living plant, is this not a miracle?
A religion and a sermon at a church or synagogue should encourage (courage) the congregation. What is a religion without encouragement? To me it is the parents job to teach their children these connections to history, it should make sense to their children! If there was ever a time in history where we need these connections to be made in our young it’s today whatever religion that may be.
We can all be saved including our nation. Freedom, freedom of religion, the freedom to speak freely, the freedom to pursue our happiness without tyranny should be taught to our children. Our nation and our religion, our freedom should all be connected to history that should not be ignored. The exodus of the Jews from Egypt thousands and thousands of years ago should give us all hope that America can be saved from this evil. It should help us to understand we can overcome these addictions we may be a slave to. It can all start with a small act of kindness, a donation to the needy, a lesson to our children.
I hope you all have a great Good Friday and a Happy and Healthy Holy Week and Passover!J.Goodrich
I read that Ed Dowd is celebrating both Catholic and Orthodox Greek celebrations/ dinner for both after. Both fall on the same day. They are roasting a lamb on a spit and who knows what else! I miss getting a new outfit, as I did as a little girl. Great lessons, James.
Happy Easter, James. I am a Catholic who chose the faith in my 30's.
I went through two years of classes out of curiosity about the faith and the priest approached me and asked when I was going to convert.
I had no plans of converting. He said, why not, you are one of the best examples of a Catholic I have met. You are kind, faithful, and you do so much good works for the church and our community.
One thing that stuck out when I later married a cradle Catholic was, he had to prove he was baptized since it occurred when he was a baby. They took my word for it since I remembered it at the age of 13.
Sadly, the issues of priests and little boys ruined everything for me with the Church itself, but not the faith.
Happy Easter Deanna, I grew up Catholic and went to church until being confirmed. I learned the basics, and wasn’t to bad of a person, I certainly never harmed anyone, but it took me a long time to have a change of heart to really setting goals of helping people whenever I can. I’m honestly still learning and love connecting history to what’s happening today. I think I’ll always be learning.
In Boston there was Cardinal Law who was up to his neck in trying to cover up the whole child molestation scandal, honestly he should have gone to jail. I had a friend Dave I grew up with that was molested by a priest that was a hockey coach at Catholic Memorial High School in West Roxbury Ma. I decided a long time ago the building, Saint Mary’s Parish, had nothing to do with my faith, I try to live it. Well hope you have a peaceful and happy Easter Deanna.
Blessed Holy Days, James! I'm a bit late, but that is okay. all things in their time. I have often thought the same thoughts as you & many of your friends comments indicate. As a "cradle Catholic, my folks were absolutely t h e r e. Dad sang in the choir, ushered, and helped others in any way he could. Mom made it a point to sit in "The McGurn Pew" as she was raised when people paid "pew rent" for the seats they sat in. I am not sure why, probably to help pay the enormous coal bill here where winter lasts six months & often four more of bad sledding.
They sacrificed to send us to the church school and the good sisters struggled to make little ladies and gentlemen out of a bunch of mostly Irish hooligans. I say mostly, because we Irish welcomed anyone who didn't mess with us. If ya came in peace, we were pals. So the Polish folks attended their church where the sermon was in Polish; the French did likewise, but their sermon was in French. So anyone else who couldn't comprehend French or Polish came to The Irish Church because they knew the sermon would be in English. After all our rulers in the old country forbade the Gaelic & all our expats spoke was English. But I digress. I'm prone to doing that.
Because the folks were working & going off to war & all the things adults did in the years between 1935 & 1960; they mistakenly took it for granted that their children would learn all they needed to know about that God & religion that they crossed an ocean to worship freely. Not so.
I'm reminded of that wall hanging titled Children Learn What They Live. It is true. But it is not only learning about their creator, children must have parents who exemplify ALL the things they will need to attain if they want to be healthy whole fully alive adults.
It was easier 100 years ago. With the advent of all the things we take for granted, subtly time was leaking away form us as adults like the hole in the bottom of Raggedy Ann. Like the critter sitting in the kettle with the fire lit, the water warmed up so gradually, nobody paid it any never-mind. And then it was too late.
Catholics in particular have had a rough row to hoe. The majority of Protestant denominations recognize that they are "different" & humans being what we are, we resent/fear/dislike others whom we view as D I F F E R E N T. They expect more from Catholics because they get the idea Catholics think their pharts don't smell.
What they do not get is that no matter what belief we have, we all are part of the family of God. We all need to learn to be kind.
As far as the particulars, yeah, I agree with you & I attribute it to familiarity. Not just that but how many generations of Catholics are CINO? Because they know almost nothing about their faith.
Holy Thursday someone said to me as we were on our way to the evening Mass "You know we were taught by one of the Holy Cross Priests back in the 1930's that this is the most important day of the Church year." "Really?!?" I queried. "Yes, she went on, because at that Passover meal where Jesus and the rest were seated at their Seder, he took the bread and wine and blessed them and that was the FIRST EUCHARIST!" I had to admit that never in my many years of living I ever thought of Holy Thursday that way. It set me to pondering other things that I took for granted. Never thinking of the 5 "w's" of a good journalist. That is what we all need to do.
Looking at the human race I realize that we can do everything in our power to keep our kids from making the same stupid mistakes we did in growing up. 99% of the time it makes no difference. Genesis tells us that. They are going to mentally say Mother/Father - I'll do it myself! SO even if they did do a better job of explaining their religious faith - whatever denomination they are - we MUST seek for ourselves. We must exert ourselves to find that piece of our heart which can never be whole until and unless it is connected to God. The God who loves us; who will NOT lock us into obedience because that destroy our freedom to choose or reject Him. The God whose Patience & Tolerance is unbelievable and for that I am most humbly grateful!
Thank you James for your great family story, & your religious history; this is very important, & I remember how my Mother did the same steps during all holidays as well. She always dressed my sister & I in fancy dresses; we went to my parent’s church, & my sister & I went to Sunday school. It was always fun, & we always had a wonderful, & beautiful Easter Sunday dinner. But something was missing: why did we go to church, & then have a nice, fancy dinner ? My sister & I were never taught the real reason for this celebration, & my parent’s did not explain what Easter Sunday, or Christmas, was really about. My Father went to Catholic school; my Mother’s ancestor’s & her immediate family came from very religious backgrounds, so why didn’t my parent’s explain their religious background? I don’t know, & never will. Thank you for your family’s religious history. Have a very nice Easter Sunday.
Oh, thank you Melanie. As I got older, I realized what Easter & Christmas was really about, & I think my parent’s must have not even realized the importance of explaining particular things.
My husband and I live in Utah and love this license plate…sugar cube!!! Just before looking at the Friday Funnies we got news that my husband’s plate was accepted here in Utah as well “1p8riot”! 🎉🇺🇸❤️
I would love to share photos with this community. However you do it Robert, I prefer not to have it on a Facebook page that would be seen by the general public. I don't do much with Facebook because it can be such a sewer. I trust this community. If the Facebook page would be only for your paid subscribers, then that would be fine.
Grok says X has this function: Yes, X has a private group function through its Communities feature. X Communities allow users to create private spaces where members can share and collaborate on specific topics. There are two types of communities: open and closed (private). In private communities, users must be accepted to join, and admins can require prospective members to answer a question before being approved. Only members of the community can view and interact with the content shared within it. Additionally, X offers private group chats (DMs), where users can create group conversations that are kept private for security and privacy reasons, accessible only to the invited participants.
This sounds like the solution, as so many of your followers (including me) dislike FB. However, the problem of a few haters causing headaches for you, the administrator, is real. Make sure you have strong by-laws--hate on someone and you're out!
Also, would this be political or farm or both? I'm not a social media person so I don't really know how a "community" would work. I don't want to spend any more time on the computer than I already do reading your e-mails, but I'd like to have some input on solutions to political problems. I've already sent letters to Pres. Trump but he's ignoring my best solution to those pesky lower court judges!
My Daughter & her husband have a community FB page, & are the Admins; they have a large following in our county, a red, conservative county. The past year a small group of extreme conservatives that had joined my Daughter’s FB page, caused a “ruckus”, & my Daughter had to remove a few of these women. Some of them were attacking a specific gentleman, & didn’t like his views. So, this type of community outrage, by a few that intended to cause harm to some on this group page, started their own “FB hate group” after my Daughter removed them from her own community page. What a nightmare, & headache it was for over a year! Some people are bad keyboard warriors!
I recommend against using Facebook for anything. Facebook has security issues, as nothing written on it is really private. There is a saying: Posting on Facebook is like skywriting.
I rarely comment but read all the comments and look forward to them, especially the ones on Friday/Sunday….I would be so lonely if you went to the FB platform because I won’t be joining there….it’s principle decision for me.
loved all the jokes and quotes - the old man planting trees is great, the anti-social - please dont call me is for me these days
This paid subscriber is interested in the private group photos stories ides, I think you can you do a private group on Truth Social. No Facebook for me, but im open to the profile option, or Truth, or X even.
That license plate meme had such a sweet message:
C6H12O6 is the molecular formula for glucose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is a crucial source of energy for living organisms. It consists of 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
But also fructose.
Normally, when we talk about Cubes, we're talking about C12H22O11. But that won't fit on a license plate.
But why the license plate? What message was it sending and to whom was the driver trying to attract?
Sugar cube? Sweet ride?
My money is on sweet ride...NO WAIT! SUGAR CUBE!
Bingo!
Attract? What every simple sugar wants, Swabbie; to find that right other monomer with which to form a lasting glycosidic bond; to fulfill their dreams of one day being packed together into a Valentine's box of Russell Stovers.
Yikes! Attract children with candy?
Oh no, not Russell Stovers. Go for Ethyl Ems.
Sweet!
Lol!
perhaps something about climate change and/or bombs ?

A diabetic chemist would be my guess.
I knew that someone who follows Malone would have the answer.
omg, thank you, I had no clue. I am so happy with all of the work Kennedy and his staff, and doctors like Robert Malone, are doing to MAHA. I have been a insulin dependent diabetic for 42 years and I don't see a cure in sight. Only expensive ways for us to live with the disease.

I was just thinking Carbon and H2O....... basically what is coming out of the fuel the car is burning....... which are the building blocks of life....... coming out of a bug..... or something. My brain hurts today.
How is your Vitamin D level?
71 years for me. Side effects rearing their ugly head now. Cure may still be in te distance but the control options are so much better now.
Get thee to a Med Bed, Brandy, as soon as you can. (Sometime soon this year!)
Brandy, you were set up from the beginning: alcohol turns into sugar when consumed.
Ned, You beat me to the LP Chem riddle, I was about to send a link to explain the same!
Sorry, the only chemical formula I remember from H.S. Chemistry 61 years ago is C2H5OH. Probably can't get that on a NYS license plate.
Maybe just describing your enthusiasm for flex fuel E85?
Not hardly. Another reason why I often wonder why we want Republicans in Congress if they couldn't even stop the E10 requirement. It makes me feel stupid to be a registered Republican since 1970, when I voted for Conservative James L. Buckley anyway.
Yea! Federal Government is supporting E85!
Inviting a d.w.i. stop if you do
Absolutely. The NYS Trooper who lives in our neighborhood would certainly recognize the formula.
I was puzzling over this at the Waffle House this morning. I asked the waitress, "Do you know what C6H12O6 is?"
"It's simple sugar." Then she just walked away, as if she were guarding the mystery. As if their order of hash browns couldn't wait 3 seconds for her to tell me the answer.
Some years back a woman once owned a blue Chrysler Horizon, one of those little hatchback competitors to the Japanese models.

That was way over my head. Thanks

Sugar Cube!
Is the molecular formula for the glucose in our bloodstream the same as fructose?
Glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula, because they have the exact same combination of atoms, just arranged differently. Think of a pocketknife: open or closed has the same parts, but different capabilities.
Sooo, they are the same but different.
It’s been 40 years since chemistry class, so thanks for that. lol Sugar Cube is creative and fun once you get it. 😄
But why would someone put it on their license plate?? An endearment?

I use to get a new Easter dress each year with a hat, gloves, and new shoes.
I also got the cutest little purse, patent leather for shoes.
Those were the days DD. I loved Easter growing up. The holidays with family back then were always fun.
Happy Easter, James. I am a Catholic who chose the faith in my 30's.

I think that is all we can do. I have always felt that God was leading me in the right direction, no matter my faith or denomination.

We use to go on a picnic after church services. It was with my mom’s side of the family. The adults would hide Easter eggs. Such fond memories.
Happy Easter to you and Family mate.
Thanks Les, same to you my friend.
Happy Easter James. What is your traditional Easter Dinner?
Such good “food for thought”, as usual, James!
Thank You Barbara!!
Thank you James for your great family story, & your religious history; this is very important, & I remember how my Mother did the same steps during all holidays as well.

Patricia that is sad. I have tried to teach my children what each holiday was and why we celebrate. The children also learned it in Church.
Oh, thank you Melanie. As I got older, I realized what Easter & Christmas was really about, & I think my parent’s must have not even realized the importance of explaining particular things.

I hate FB too - I only went back on a couple of weeks ago. But I don't know any other social media that allows for private groups...

My Daughter & her husband have a community FB page, & are the Admins; they have a large following in our county, a red, conservative county.

So, this type of community outrage, by a few that intended to cause harm to some on this group page, started their own “FB hate group” after my Daughter removed them from her own community page. What a nightmare, & headache it was for over a year! Some people are bad keyboard warriors!
FB = "private" but no privacy.
Under no circumstances I can think of would I utilize any platform by or with Mark Zuckerberg! It’s a no for me if on Facebook.
How about using -- https://groups.io/ --- rather than social media?
I went on it just to buy used furniture for my new home. No paying China for my furniture for me!
I quit FB years ago. Won't go back. Would rather receive updates and photos about your life
on the farm and such, here.
I will second that. I don't do social media. . . just substackin'!
I don’t have Facebook - that’s intentional. Thousands of people can hack into your‘Private’ Facebook account if they know how
I subscribed at the discounted rate but I was intending to stay on next year and pay the higher rate
However, if your better quality content is only accessible on Facebook then I see no point in continuing paid subscription next year
I don't believe he said anything about "better quality content". Don't jump the gun too fast, Michael.
Private group chat would be fun, but no fan of FB here. Hoping you never get old!
Agreed. Some people, with good reason, do not use or participate in Facebook.
A private group would be great. Not a big fan of FB!
I recommend against using Facebook for anything. Facebook has security issues, as nothing written on it is really private. There is a saying: Posting on Facebook is like skywriting.
Happy Good Friday. I do not do facebook.
I kicked my FB account to the curb along time ago and won't go back sooo... A private group is my pick!
Happy Easter to Drs Malone and to the rest of this wonderful group.
Agree. Private Group. FB has too much info already.
No FB, please.
sending everyone here love and a smile. Thanks for being a part of my tribe.

I rarely comment but read all the comments and look forward to them, especially the ones on Friday/Sunday….I would be so lonely if you went to the FB platform because I won’t be joining there….it’s principle decision for me.
“If it’s not your toilet,
It’s not your shit.”
I’ve not heard that saying before and I find that amazingly profound.
my ad blocker nixed it.... I found out... so thanks for giving it to me. I needed that!
loved all the jokes and quotes - the old man planting trees is great, the anti-social - please dont call me is for me these days
This paid subscriber is interested in the private group photos stories ides, I think you can you do a private group on Truth Social. No Facebook for me, but im open to the profile option, or Truth, or X even.
please if you can explain the T-rex and the chinese monster or something. think I might have brain damage....
