I use Trader Joe’s Glucosamine/Chondroitin dietary supplement — and my hand which was really starting to hurt before this is okay now (only slightly twingy occasionally). I agree with higher doses and with good quality (I suspect there are some better than Trader Joe’s but I couldn’t afford them). The standard recommended dose seems to be around 1000 to 1500 mg of Glucosamine and 800 to 1200 mg of Chondrontin.

My problems weren’t as severe as yours, but I think the supplements did help. You might want to add an Omega 3 fatty acid supplement, too.

Very nice; if only prices around here were as reasonable… A house like that would be well over 300,000 GBP, and could quite possibly break the 400 mark.

Ben, this is the property we were looking at. Just over 2000 square feet, 3 bedrooms, two and a half baths, some property, awesome view, nice neighbourhood.

Here are the listings for our county, from $240K to $250K. That buys a lot of house around here. In fact, one can still find quite nice small places for under $100K. Our property taxes are very high, though.

What would your quarter of a million dollars usually buy in your neck of the woods? I make it a little over 130,000 GBP, which would only realistically buy a fairly small flat where I live.

I guess this fits in quite well with your next post regarding how scary “quarter of a million” sounds. When I was looking at investment properties a few months ago, the decent ones were all between 200 and 280 grand, and thinking about that certainly scared me!

It can’t hurt. I’ll ride you relentlessly to remember your pills. Day in and day out. There will be no rest, unless you take them faithfully and regularly.

It’s because I love you.
