Hey Brent. The Kirkland multi has 100 mg of magnesium. You want 300 mg. It seems the internet has successfully destroyed the higher quality vitamin companies and now everyone only follows consumer illiterate demand instead of presenting something worthwhile. I've been search of better brands since my preferred companies discontinued the better products. Try searching for vitamins with 3 capsules or tablets, then look for at least 300 mg of magnesium. The reason magnesium is important is it is assumed that the majority of Americans do not get the 300 mg or suggested 400 mg. Magnesium is involved in every chemical reaction in the body. Good luck

Brent. I take a product called Animal Pak by Universal Nutrition. But, this is a ton of pills. Big ones. Two packages per serving and 8 tablets per pak. I do not have problems swallowing large pills. I will do one pack in a swallow. But, two oaks? Ugh. Some of the pills are unnecessary in my view. But it does have 400 mg of magnesium and high levels of other vitamins and minerals. I have not found anything better at this time. I admit, I have not searched that much

We are going on a day trip today. Planning on doing the Skyline Drive, hoping there's still some fall colors to see.

We had a really fun drive. I was the main driver - Eskild is an overly cautious driver and and can't stand to have him drive most of the time. I had a great time driving those narrow, bumpy and curvy roads. Eskild's most often used words for the trip were "Watch out!" Those were for things that I had probably already spotted.

I accused him of being white-knuckled the whole way, but now that were safely home he says he enjoyed the trip. We had intended to turn down at the Spring City turnoff, but I missed it and we ended up driving all the way to Joe's Valley reservoir. The road from there to Ephraim was particularly hairy with an amazingly steep climb and sheer drop-offs. I loved it but Eskild was fortunate he was on the passenger (uphill) side.

The colors were a bit past prime but the scenery was still gorgeous. My car camehome caked with mud.

Here's a few pics:

Hey Brent, speaking for my wife Lori, she loves the way I drive - so relaxed, she is usually sleeping, , , or maybe she's praying or has fainted!!

BTW Char, beautiful pics!!

My wife loves my driving.

Maybe I should start over. My wife hates to drive. Since we have been married she has never driven the car. In fact, a few years ago she traded the driver's license in for a State ID card so now it is not legal for her to drive. With this evidence she MUST love my driving. Don't you think?

Sadly, I missed my usual drive up The Alpine Loop this year (no hubby to drive with) so thanks for sharing your beautiful photos Charlotte! I got to enjoy the leaves remotely;)

Imagine allowing a 11 year old to take a bus downtown with a 11 year old friend. Just the two of them. I don't know why this thought rattles around my brain. This is a fond memory. In July of 1963, I went on my first date. I asked Peggy Hoyt to go see To Kill A Mockingbird, the perfect date movie for 11 year olds, playing at the Capital Theaters. I went though all the proper protocols of asking our parents. We dressed up in Downtown clothes. You know, nice clothes to go Downtown in. Peggy and I rode a bus down West Temple to 2nd South for the theater. I think we had a good time. I never kissed Peggy. Not even on the cheek. But, Peggy was a good friend. That was our only date. We drifted apart after that. But, I'll always remember my first date with Peggy Hoyt. Peggy, I hope life is treating you well.

Kenny-
I can't remember if we had started hanging out as friends in 1963, but two things stand out in your story.
First, I utilized (out of necessity) the Salt Lake City bus system as an 8 year old...by myself. I got real good with transfer slips and learning the lay of the land. Especially in going downtown.
Second, Peggy Hoyt and Lillian Owen lived next door to one another and they became two of my best friends. They were like sisters to me. They lived next door to the old Jefferson Ward (which we all attended) between Main Street and West Temple. Lynn Despain should remember as he lived around the corner on West Temple and we often visited them together.
All of this begs the question: did I show you the ropes regarding bus travel and did I encourage you to ask Peggy on what had to be a first "date"? Peggy and Lily were the sweetest!

That is crazy Brent. Yes, Peggy, Lillian, Lynn. I remember them well. Old Tom was my scout master (Arbor Ward) who lived across the street from Lynn. 😂 I remember Lynn's dad had a DeSoto, what a tank. My friendship with you did not start until we were 14 and 9th grade. That is funny to think an 8 year old was climbing on buses. Crazy today. Thinking back to when my kids were that age, I would have gone nuts if my kids walked pass the end of the street. When you and I started hanging out you lived by Liberty Park. Which meant one of us was constantly gone from our homes as we visited each other.

I've always enjoyed reading all of the classmates posts but I havent responded till now. Ken and Brent' posts called me out! Those 11 year old years were just as you discribed. You guys encluding Peggy and Lilian and others were the best of times. I'm sure if I knew you took Peggy to the movie I was major jealous. Thanks for posting. I cant believe you remember my Dad's DeSoto! I hope you all are doing great. Fortunatly Im doing great. FYI- Ken- I been a true believer in magnesium and multiple vitamins even before I read your post, Since I'm finally making a post, , thanks to all of you that were and are still truly my friends even though most of you are now only in my cherished memories!

Hey Lynn. Good to hear from you. I'm glad you are doing well. Yeah, that DeSoyo was cool. What a tank. BTW, you did catch the part about never kissing Peggy. I think everyone liked Peggy
