Sorry to hear that molls, but good that he made it in time.

No, didn't see it mrs a. Practically the only thing I watch these days is BBC News 24.

Yep...my mum's best friend lost her daughter in an accident in SA

That's a shame molly, but I know you've been expecting it. Didn't you say something about going on a road trip in the US sfter the business was sold?

RunningCourage;1447765 wrote: Me again. Molly - you were having a convo with Kuya about Vit B12. And you mentioned 25mcg vs 1000mcg, right? 25mcg being the RDA and 1000mcg being more the like the amounts you recommend? Am I right?

From what i've read the minimum suggested amount to take is 2mcg - 3mcg. My multivits have the equivalent of 80mcg, or 3,200% of the RDA. But is this enough?

The RDA for B12 is actually 1.5mcg and a balanced diet will provide 5 to 7 mcg.

Of course it could just be early stage sobriety or just being in the habit of not going out. Though TBH, right now my head's feeling heavy and lethargic and the thought of being sociable (and I do believe I am sociable) just feels like work. Have had me dinner too.

Paying your GP a visit would seem like a sensible thing to do, RC.

JackieClaire;1447843 wrote: Mine have something that looks like yg written on them. Googled the life out of what that means.

It's the Greek letter mu or μ Jackie. It's used to represent a millionth. So 1μg is a millionth of a gram, or a microgram or mcg.

JackieClaire;1447860 wrote: So a 1000 micrograms = 100 gms.

Errm no! 1000 micrograms is a milligram or 1mg, which is a thousandth of a gram. A gram is written as 1g. Hope that didn't sound too pedantic, I'm just trying to clear up the confusion.

Very sorry to hear that, Jackie. :l

Cheers Reccie, a fortune teller told me 2013 is my year and that i would have life changing opportunities and that people would be suprised just how successful I was going to be, I took what he said with a pinch of salt, but maybe he was right. This opportunity is so good for my future application for clinical psychology, as we write a massive report and my name goes on as co author and research assistant, so i will have at least one psychological publication as an undergraduate, which is very rare, I am so fecking lucky and so grateful to the universe for bringing me this opportunity and to my friends like all on MWO who support me
