Istanbul's blog

So a new day and I had to get my morning starter upper. A cup of Coffee with refills. Preferably free. My usual trick is to engage someone in conversation over coffee and hope she ends up paying for it.
It worked twice in the last 4 weeks so I have a lot of improving to do. Usually I get the response that instead of spouting off to strangers about things I know little or nothing about, I should get a job.

That always hurts my feelings needless to say. It is bad enough when they take the position that I have made up my mind and don't want to be confused by any facts. It is worse when someone else makes up my mind for me.

Like the time I ordered a veggie burger and a soy milkshake. I was expecting a heavy duty weekend with the girlfriend and wanted to build up my reserves. A hulking trucker from Prague set me straight on soy. We shared a table where we got a good view of the cooks legs. A coincidence I'm sure. Henkj was his name and he advised me not to ingest soy in any form. He graduated as a chemist but preferred to drive long distance trucks. Ferried people one way and Chemist drugs the other.
Soy is so scary I fired off a text message to Emmylou to chuck it all out. Better still take it to the HazMat people.
Remember in my breast milk entry Connie did great on 38DD's while I his twin, had formula. That may also be why I suffer from supposed brain damage, probably caused by toxic manganese. Henkj says scientists report that soy infant formula contains up to 200 times the manganese of breast milk. It lodges in the liver, the kidneys and the brain.
When I looked up the evils of soy I couldn't function as a tourist and took to my bed for the rest of the week.
It is that serious.

Henkj offered me a ride in his truck but I turned him down. Some 8th sense I guess.
Besides I had some chores to attend to before arriving in Constantinople.

Later .......
