Cool Smirk We intend

To fund a foundation for the care of situations so very like that Ginnie and Eva describe..... that is if my next invention, and it is a doozie, takes off as the market place can do for it. Our patent lawyer is still trying to pick his jaw up off of the floor.

A second foundation for a special needs child we have, and the others should do very nicely.

So...... are you selling the bumper stickers Doc?
An interested customer,
Moi

Nope, but I've seen many of them. Hold da phone...
... I don't see the bumper stickers, per se, but T-shirts, license plate frames, and more useless junk for greedy kids to complain/sweat about can be found googling the phrase....
Google: "We're Spending Our Kids' Inheritance!" (include quotes)

Red face There Ya Go Doc

A whole knew product line for you. Bumper stickers, and in order to avoid potential copyright infringement, change it up, no Quotes- Yup, we spent their inheritance! That oughta do, charge $2 at a retail outlet near you, cost $0.10 to produce, a dollar to the retailer and you capture 90 cents per to cover shipping to retailers, staff [hire people with cardboard signs] and a workspace. Goodness, if you sold a million, that is $900K for cheap workspace, workerbees, shipping. Not bad.
Sorry, hard for me not to think about potential business endeavors,
Sheepish,

I've got all the ideas I'll ever need for businesses, but not the health, stamina, capital, or wherewithal (much less interest) to undertake anymore.

Maybe all those potential business endeavors could be your legacy to those kids(?)

Got a business running around the globe right now. Have a new patent to process for a shift in business and medicine as though going from candles to lightbulbs, so I am assembling the initial team for proof of concept and have 12 for that. We are working.... and goodness, the notion is not to just enrich by legacy children of our bodies, but people around the globe who need help, thus the foundation idea. I was being funny earlier, now I am not, and my patent lawyer who is picking his jaw up from the floor said he feels the newbie project is bigger than Gates.... I corrected him, for it is bigger than all Gates combined. Thus the planning for a foundation to reach out and help a whole passle of folks. God will show the way.

Kinda humble in that way,
ya know,
God gives dictation, I am the stenographer,
That sorta thing,
Yup,

Just want to thank you for so much info on the previous page. I take Oxycodone with Tylenol about 4 times a day for breakthru pain. Taking all that Tylenol for the past few years adds upl I will look into the N-Acetyl Casteine. Also, will look into the Niacin for lowering cholesterol.

Still like the Bumper Sticker idea!

NAC is what's used intravenously in hospitals to treat acetaminophen toxicity and overdose. Consideration to combining/including it in all acetaminophen meds has been given consideration, but dismissed because of cost, and that it would amount to a patentable change that would drive prices skyward. Instead, they decided to (somewhat recently) lower the maximum daily dose recommendations.

Information on taking NAC prophylactically is now out on the web, but difficult to find/separate from the toxicity/OD info. (else I'd post it - neglected to bookmark it at the time ) Here's a link to the first mention I found years ago - a compendium of discussions compiled by Steven B. Harris, M.D.
http://yarchive.net/med/tylenol.html

It gets really interesting about halfway down ±.

Please do, Gerry. It's an option, but not for everyone (what is?)
Wife had some initial flushing, but between taking an aspirin or vitamin C 1/2 hour before the niacin, doing this at bedtime, and acclimation, it hasn't been a problem.

Doc, with all the Tylenol I take, not sure aspirin a good idea. I take Prilosec daily. Asked doctor, a while back about taking aspirin for inflamation and he said if your stomach could handle it, then okay. Did not handle well at all. Already take multi-vitamin with C so maybe the Niacin is not for me. But will seriously consider N-Acetyl Casteine when next ordering from Iherb.
