Good points. ;-)

Since I work nights tho', I don't get much (if any) sun.
I supplement Vitamin A&D in gelcaps. It's encapsulated fish liver oil.

I don't drink milk. At all. I get some dairy from cheese, and
occasionally cottage cheese or yogurt.

I don't worry about Calcium as I also take a good balanced mineral
supplement daily.
