it is those things that you do every day that really matter(unless you blow yourself up, of course).
your distiller was one of your best investments. you are fighting a tide, swimming in the bottom of a sea of poisonous gasses and liquids. all you can do is give your body the opportunity to expell the bad and avoid as much of the bad as you can so the body is not overwhelmed. that way, you create an internal oasis in a desert of death.
i know i sound over the top, but i lost my highschool sweetheart last week and i didnt even know she was sick. she was only 46. it took the bastards 8 months to kill her. there is something really wrong when someone with so much life and talent can die so young.
