Semester 3, Week 10, Day 5

Having problems getting going today.  I finally got my son down for a nap and my daughter became needy. I got her asleep, went and got the mail and he was back up.  I got him and I some lunch and now I have a few minutes to get something done. There are only 3 constituents I have not discussed yet for flaxseed and one action so I'll look up the action in a minute, though I think it's pretty clear.  I'd like the textbook answer, though.  I got one essay done yesterday and started working on that quiz.  I hope to have the quiz done today which only leaves me 2 days to work on that other essay then the stuff for next week will be staring me in the face.  That would include the draft of that other paper...  My daughter didn't want me to read her book to her today.  She read it to me.  Every page was "bunny, bunny, bunny, butterfly..."  I'm surprised she didn't add in "flower" since she likes them so much! LOL It's a new book and she has never let me read it to her.  I hope my son will get into them at some point.  Right now books go in the mouth, in his opinion.  He has graduated from the high chair now...  I've been shoe-horning him in so I could strap him in while he eats.  I had to wash his high chair cover so it was in the wash as well as the straps and at breakfast this morning, I put him in his chair then got my chair. I went to get my food, came back and he was in my chair eating.  Yes, all but one chair is in the office so they don't use it to climb...  Looks like I need to zip-tie another chair to the table...  Fun times!  LOL

Okay, I looked up the definition.

Cathartic means to accelerate defecation while laxatives ease that process.

Constituents:  fixed oil (mostly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) which turned into omega-essential fatty acid in the body - this oil is a great source for Omega-3), fiber (about 14%), sterols (p. 109).

I don't know how much I can find on the constituents but I'll look into it tomorrow.  Have a great day!
