Plain water is a major migraine trigger for me, apparently because it flushes too much of the good stuff from my system. Sports drinks are *full* of sugar or fake sweetener (another migraine trigger.) Poking around online, I found this recipe. It's nothing fancy, but it has kept my headaches away for weeks now. It's basically a weak, slightly salty Kool-Aid... much like real Gatorade.
Recipe:
1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid (green and blue are my favorites)
1/2 tsp of salt
8-12 tablespoons of sugar (I use less, because I drink a lot throughout the day)
Optional: 1/2 c orange juice (for potassium & trace minerals)
Mix all of these into 1 gallon of water.
One recipe calls for a salt substitute instead of table salt, because it has more minerals. I'm hesitant to change something that works so well.

Pin Collecting: What Now???
Jerry and I always said that we were never going to collect pins.
In the beginning, we both enjoyed our individual collections of Disney books & magazines, monorail stuff, Kitchen Kabaret items, and posters/artwork used in the parks. You know... stuff that was slightly difficult to find. We also bought an occasional pin to commemorate celebrations that we attended each year... like Flower and Garden, Mickey's Not-So-Scary, Christmas, etc.
Over the next few years, we started making several trips a year. We started buying a few pins per trip because they were "good souvenirs" that were "fairly cheap" and "don't take up much room." (Yeah. Right.) More years, more trips, more pins. I'm not going to bore you with the details of our venture off the deep end of pin collecting, but now we make several weekend trips a year in addition to a big trip every September and each time we come back with several handfuls of new pins. That's in addition to the bulk pin lots that Jerry gets for us to trade with castmembers.
We've filled up a large bulletin board and just bought a eight 12x12" cork tiles to display what we have, but how the heck are we supposed to get all of these into a database so that we know what we already have? Suggestions?
This isn't even close to all of them:

Halloween Costumes... hmm...
Jazzie wants to be Aayla Secura, a Jedi from the Star Wars prequels:
Tristan wants to be Darth Maul, a Sith apprentice from the same series:
These costumes should be fun to figure out!
