I walk on the outside of my foot and wear insoles in houseshoes because I am at home most of the time.

The last behemoth broad that came in complained about her knees. My brother said, "You need to lose some weight and take the stress off your knees." The lady was offended. She said, "I think I want a second opinion." My brother said, "Ok, you're ugly too."

Turmeric is great in split pea soup too.
And, I don't have a brother. Grow up.
"Doctor! Doctor! Nobody will talk to me!" The Doctor says, "NEXT!"
For turmeric, you may want to look into the absorption of it. For example, forms that are hydro-soluble absorb better.
