You need your parents to what !!! But NOT to do what???

You know you live in a Country run by idiots if...
You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.

       Okay so most of us know this by now, but someone sent this to me with a buncj of other, You know you live in a country...etc etc etc.  Some problems with getting those messages are the peopel who send them are so judgemental  and we don't know how they live, what's in their closet. I just do think though that as people get older, they/we think we just better, more perfect, but all that we are is older and because of that, more experienced. I know many, well never mins, a few who do seem to be perfect people to me and I'm happy to know them and yet I doubt even in the positions in life they hold, they would not be this judgemental.
       Just maybe the idiots are people who caim to be such perfect Christians, yet are haters, of the government and more. I know who sends this to me and I care about him deeply-but wow! He is two side of a dull coin.
 Peace out-good will to all men and women.:)

He thinks we should, "JUST FORGET"

     Everyone has an opinion about The tragedy of December 14th at Sandy Hook elementary school. A teen in my care said this morning as more news came on about this horrible day, "I think we should just forget it and they should stop talking about it." My reply was, we should never stop talking about it and what if that was your family? No answer right away. Then he said, what good does it do, and I explained what good we hope it does.
     This is a kid who did not grow up with his own parents and does not have empathy for anyone except himself. There isn't any way to get him to understand or care and is this a concern for the future? Yes, but what can we do about it now. Educate, change laws, report and go back. Go back to a time when we had prayer in schools, and discipline was a matter of parental right, when mostly all of us went to church.
    With all of the changes that have come about the last thirty or forty years, and kids having more rights and parents less, what has happened? As a nation of compassion, understanding, helping, we have also weakened. Look at the families who stop trying, children in special behavioral schools, special classes for those who don't behave. Has that all come to be since parents lost the right to parent? Has it happened because atheists have more rights than those who are not atheists?
    I'm not suggesting to leave compassion, understanding and helping at your own front door, but we have to stop talking and start doing, start to make the changes. Maybe it can only start now with young parents. Take your kids to church, pray at meals, discipline, find positive activities, help those in need and teach your kids to help, not hurt. We all say, something has to be done, changes need to be made. When?

Morgan Freeman, said it BEST

TURN OFF THE NEWS.......

Morgan Freeman's brilliant take on what happened yesterday :

"You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why.
...

It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single *victim* of Columbine? Disturbed
people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody.

CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next.

You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

Shooter into School-kid asks, who's to BLAME?

     Yes, I realize we don't know yet and so many are guessing but I bet many are thinking the same thing and many are still wondering;How did he get in if his mother wasn't there? How or why was this young man allowed into and elementary school? My guess? They knew him, plain and simple.
     Most people are basically friendly, and I know at a local High School I go to many times because I have kids there that I meet with in some aspect or another, I am easily allowed in. If I say I have an appointment, I'm buzzed in and sometimes, I get buzzed in as soon as they see me over the screen. It isn't checked until I am in the outer office that I actually have an appointment.
    So was this similar to today? Was this young guy let in because they knew him and thought he was just stopping by to visit.
    The young boy I care for asked me tonight, so who do you think is to blame? for this happening. Blame is seen very different by people who accept blame and people who love to blame others-in my opinion. I let him know, my feeling was without knowing all the facts yet, maybe who ever didn't lock up guns and bullets separately and then hide the keys elsewhere. I just spoke with my son a few nights ago about guns, safety and a hunter who accidental killed his child forgetting he had a bullet left in the chamber. It was a long discussion. I think women hate guns more than men.
    Anyway, this young boy in my home feels it was the fault of the school because they let him in. I then told him it is solely the fault for now of the shooter who also proved what a coward he is by taking his own life. Okay maybe it's going to come out he was mentally ill and maybe a doctor or shrink of some sort knew the possibility of today's action. Yet many times no matter who we are, we end up saying, if only I knew, If only I saw the signs. But we don't think to look for signs when we help people no matter what position we're in, every single time.
    Who's to blame? Does it matter now? Yes, and right now is when people need to make different plans for allowing people into schools, sadly just as they do onto planes? Make a meeting room so that people can't get any further that a certain dividing space between classes and a reception area. No wonder more parents are home schooling children. It isn't only what kids see and do in school, it's who comes into their schools to do it to them.

Appliance Parts Replaced? GO HERE! GREAT PLACE!

      Hey People! It's me again. I didn't believe it when I first found a part I was looking for, for my meat slicer. I first went to some dot com site and while they were out of the part I wanted they would get it, but get this, The part was 12.99 ad S&H was 8.99  BALONEY! Did ya hear me, I said BALONEY! This is the plastic cover guide/guard for slicing. THE answer is next :)

   I called Lowes. I bought my slicer a year ago to bake chicken and roast beef and slice for sandwiches and salads. Somehow I threw away the much needed part. So I called Lowes today at their toll free number 866-802-6383 and asked about the part. You won't believe the difference. The nice woman on the other end who was in North Carolina sent the address/web site to me which is:

                                    ereplacemnetparts.com

I was thrilled to see the price is 6.27 and S&H is only 3.81 !  Now this is a company to buy your parts from and thank you Lowes for being so helpful.
All I can say is, keep searching, honest companies are out there and there's more that one as I learned today.

SOY 30% prevents Breast cancer and not so good for...

    There is good soy and soy which isn't so good. I am taking this from Dr. Oz guest. This woman ( a nutritionist ) is telling us SOY prevents Breast cancer by 30% but isn't good for thyroid disease, and  a very important note is there are different kinds of SOY which help and or hinder your health. Many studies come from Japan.
     More and more I am interested in living a healthier way of living. In an earlier segment I saw the liver of  a dead person which had ballooned up due to fat, causing Sclerosis of the liver, and yet other person died due to blood clots in the lungs which came from the leg sue to high blood pressure.

   BACK to SOY:

    Worst: energy bars, soy chips, check ingredients
    Good: Tofu, edamane-

Frozen Lemons kill Cancer cells

All it is.....is a frozen lemon Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted. How can you use the whole lemon without waste? Simple.. place the lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it)and sprinkle it on top of your foods. Sprinkle it to your whisky, wine, vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, noodles,spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes. All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before. Most likely, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore. Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles. Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that's what you've been wasting. But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier. It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body. So place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your meal every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret! Better late than NEVER! The surprising benefits of lemon! Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy. Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors. This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas... The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

 

An Open Letter to Kevin G. of Love & Friendship

Dear Kevin

   First here is about one of the last pictures I had of your mom with Mike shoveling snow from her car.( Where were you?)  :) We had such a ball when we were snowed in that winter  at the Gregory hotel and ended up having supper at your moms'.She made roast beef which I think Mike ate the whole thing, mashed potatoes and gravy and vegetables and then had pie.

 That was in 2009 I'm pretty sure. We had 22 inches in New York and they closed the turnpike. Snow was then as it was when your mom and I were kids. Maybe this is more about her, but for you. We were such good friends although it didn't start out that way. She was my sisters friend, same grade in school, yet it wasn't long before we found out how much more she and I were alike. We didn't belong to snob clubs :) Your mom and I were the tallest kids, almost in school and we had so much in common that we felt like twins at times. We loved waiting for one another to walk to school together and talk about crushes. Ask her about Mr. J. Navy man and teacher.

 

     I think what made us work as friends that we understood how things are, were and should be, then and now. We both babysat our siblings and that was a big deal. Not every eleven and twelve year olds are entrusted with such younger brothers or sisters for so much time. We both had strict parents but with different reasons. She and I used to walk up and down the street with the kids, or go see Mr. Korsun up the block.  Mr. Korsun always gave my snotty little brother keys, and your moms sister, Judy was always well behaved, sweet and just a cute kid, as I remember. But we feel different with our own memories of things. Mr. Korsun was like a stoop sitting shrink, what guy he was. I knew I could always talk to him and he would help as he could.

   The last time I saw him was a day I was leaving Brooklyn and just saw your mom. We had breakfast together. On that last time I saw him, your mom called the next day and let me now he passed away. We wonder why things happen so timely. I knew I wanted to see him again since it was so long since the last time.

   But your mom and I would talk to him as if he was just an older and wiser kid. He was. Sometimes there an adult you just know you can tell anything to, well almost anything. To a kid though, as well meaning as some people are, it can be dangerous for the kid to tell that trusted adult. Anyway I met or re met your mom when I moved to 56th st. An apartment became available in a brownstone and as soon as I saw it I was in love all over again, besides Mr. Vitalo; ask your mom.

   The brownstone became our stoop, Mostly mine and Sandy's. I had good landlords and so did she, mainly Mrs Millen and mine was very special too, although her first name escapes me. She and her husband always would sneak me a glass of wine, feeling and know my parents were way too strict with me. ( in a selfish way)

When I told your mom how my landlady stood up to my father, Madeline! That was her name, Madeline Magnotta, well your mom was as happy for me as I was for me. It didn't do any good except to infuriate my father, but inside of me, I felt hope rising. I knew some day I would be a little courageous like her. Boy it took a long, long time :)

    Your mom and I would walk around the corner to get Pizza at Scottie's. Our little crushes there were, Louie and Scottie. I liked Louie. He had dark curly hair, and slow smile and just plain yummy. She like Scottie who had a lighter Sandy colored hair and he seemed to work more than Louie. Scottie only retired a few years ago while Louie died very young. Her men live longer-duh we know that don't we? :)

   Then there was the donut shop around the other corner. On hot summer days, your mom and I would take the kids and get donuts and sodas. Judy loved the donut shop, and so did my brother although he always wanted more.

    As grammar school graduation neared we knew we were going in different directions. Her parents wanted her to get an education. She went to Bay Ridge High and I went to Fort Hamilton when my parents wanted me out of school to continuing babysitting. So it was that which pretty much started a new life for us both. I stayed and babysat until leaving home at twenty-two, seeing your mom off and on and we'd still chat here and there, laugh and with me wishing I could go back to seventh and eighth grade.

   Oh Kevin, one thing I left out. Mr. Korsun...One summer when your mom and I were up at his stoop and his daughter was out I was talking about Mr. Vitalo, my life long love & crush. Mr. Korsun asked where he lived and I told him Levittown. This great and wonderful man says to me, well why don't we take a ride and go see him. We don't have to barge in, just drive by and say hello. Can you imagine from Brooklyn to Long Island to say hello. I think that's where I got my feeling now of, hey I'm off to Brooklyn for some great pizza, BRB-and I do that too. Well a big worry was I knew my father would not let me go and said as much to Mr. Korsun.

     Mr. Korsun said let me talk to him, I'll change his mind. He and I saw my father coming down the steps with trash and Mr. Korsun didn't wast any time. He said let's go kid and together we faced my father. WOW, if only Mr. Korsun was my father, Cigarette in hand he wore a Hawaiian looking green shirt, knee length green colored shorts, and I watched his mustache while he spoke. He reached his hand out first. CRAP, I knew my father was not about to shake hands, but he did.

    In the next few minutes I listened as Mr. Korsun persuaded my father into "wanting me to go along" as any "dad" would. This was magic in the purest sense of the word. He cast a spell over my father. In my heart Mr. Korsun was now my dad. That's who a dad is ! Mr. Korsun told him about how long it would take, taking into consideration traffic and stopping for ice cream and of course no mention of Mr. Vitalo, that he was just going to show us some of Long Island, in a convertible and a look at the beaches. Also he reinforced that his daughter and your mom with her parents approval would go along as well, just a nice day out with the kids. Mr. Korsun drove a red and black Rambler convertible.

     We all piled in with me and your mom in the back feeling all grown-up. I had Mr. Vitalo's address. That's what kids with crushes do. Well you wouldn't believe it. As we neared Levittown Mr. Korsun pulled over and gave us some prepared conversation about if we see Mr. Vitalo we just talk about being out on a hot summers day, checking out towns, beaches and more, a kind of get-a-way day.

     It wasn't long before we pulled into Mr. Vitalo's suburban neighborhood, with what looked like had to be only rich people. Hey, what did I know, I was a kid. Then we came to his street and I watched the numbers go down until we reached 224 and as Mr. Korsun spoke the world around me went quiet. I vaguely heard Mr. Korsun say, well look who's outside watering their lawn. I think I saw him before anyone else did. If I could have fallen over I would have so it was good That I was already seated.

   Still feeling some odd silence although my heart was banging like a baseball bat on a trash can, we finally stopped at the exact spot where Mr. Vitalo stood, holding a hose, looking down into a flower bed, wearing shorts, holy crap! Mr. Vitalo in shorts! He also wore a flowered shirt. There must be a reason. I thought God had to arrange this and given the plan to Mr. Korsun since both men looked to be wearing the same shirt.

    Mr. Vitalo looked up as the car stopped at the curb. I watched his hand twist the nozzle off. I always watched his hands. Mr. Korsun smiled and said excuse us, as he stepped out of the convertible. He moved to where Mr. Vitalo stood , switched hands with his cigarette and reached out to introduce himself and say, I guess you know at least two of these young ladies, yup me and your mom. I was choking inside and became mush but suddenly found my lips. Uh Hi, Hi Mr. Vitalo. He smiled back, oh that smile. Your mom was squishing my shoulder telling me, Nance, look he's in shorts. Oh God don't ya think I know I whispered.

    We all got out had small talk as arranged by Mr. Korsun, leader of the band, as Mr. Vitalo asked, "so what brings you to my door?"  As he and Mr. Korsin spoke, I was sneaking looks at his eyes, glasses, the mole on his cheek, how his mouth moved, his hair and smile. I remember this trip so well as if it was the Ten Commandments ( sorry God) I wanted to cry with thankfulness to Mr. Korsun. I think he knew even then for me it was more than a crush. Mr. Vitalo was my childhood crush, love, example of what makes a man and much more, and Mr. Korsun was my value in all of that as if he knew and understood.

    The visit lasted only about five minutes in Levittown, but lasted a lifetime in my heart, and I got to share that with your mom, Karen, Mr. Korsun's daughter and Mr. Korsun. I think somehow after that I knew Karen was the luckiest kid on the earth and for one day, I was second luckiest.

 

    So Kev, the years after that flew by. We got on with lives, marrying and having children. We both had two, lived in Brooklyn at least for my first child, and yet she and I were no longer connected. Maybe marriages helped with that. But in between school and married life I knew we both went onto a different path.

    Then I moved to Oregon, Washington and California. I finally returned in 1980 and when I saw my mother she told me she bumps into your mom every so often and one day we met on fifth ave. hugging, laughing and happy to see each other again. She gave me her address, the one on e. 29st. That was when I also had the pleasure of meeting your dad. He and I hit it off in an unusual. He wisecracked at me and I gave it right back. A sealed friendship for sure.

    Since then your mom and I have visits as out time allows and my being able to come to NY now that I'm in PA. We still have hilarious times, and that's just talking. Imagine if it was more. But there was a night I asked her to take me to two places. I asked her to keep the engine running and no I didn't rob a store, but I did ring doorbells and run, and it was okay because it was just a couple of guys I knew. That's what makes life fun, harmless stuff. I got back in her Hyundai, we laughed ourselves silly and took off. Sadly I still run but the Hyundai doesn't. Hey maybe a new Hyundai out of this?

     I've gotten to know and meet her two sons, your baby girl and what a wonderful dad you are, and we've shared time too. Your mom and I looked at you and my son on one visit in her kitchen and thought, here we are two ladies, once girls playing stick ball with now grown sons, who now each have a child. Who would have thought? Your mom and I plan some time next year to go back to 56th street again where our friendship started and walk down memory lane. Hey Kev, wanna take a walk?

   When all is said and done, things go back to the kitchen or a diner, two other best places where friends meet, tell secrets, whisper as if they have a secret, pout hearts out, confide and trust and laugh the hardest. We always laugh together. Your mom and I have so many memories of those two places, and I'm sure like many, that's what we not only look back on, but look ahead to. Kev, I'm looking ahead to seeing you in March with your mom. I have something to celebrate and you have to be part of it. I love ya Kev, see you in March-in Brooklyn!

Love you like another son, Nancy

    

 





Are You Only the Worth of a Dollar

Are you only the worth of a Dollar?

       What have we become when people only see you as far as a dollars worth of…anything?  As we near Christmas and any celebration for that matter, look at what people are asking you for. Do they think for some ungodly reason they deserve it, that you just say screw everything and everyone just for them? Yes. Many do, and worse than that they think they’re right. You can lose the shoes on your feet as long as they get what they want.   

     Before it too late and it isn’t no matter what ages we’re talking about, people have to accept who and where you are in life as well as your values. If they don’t, you don’t need their pressure and their values invading into your life.

      Recently I spoke to someone about consequences and children’s rights. I do believe kids need some rights, enough to know they will and should be protected if abused, going hungry or without heat, that they need to tell someone without repercussion. But things have gone too far. Look at our schools. We have special school for kids with bad behaviors, and that cost your tax dollars. We have special classes and school psychologists, more money. But where does this behavior come from? Not always mom and dad. There are variations between what they see on television, hear adults talk about and sometimes just feel they have a right to do and say what they want. Who are the role models? How effective are they?

   Let’s start at the bottom which would be the cradle.   

          Good example: Baby is nurtured with a plan that both parents agree on, concerning everything from food to clothes to manners, respect, education and religion. Moms and dads don’t ask, well honey do you want the pink dress or the blue one? The child is a child. At five years old, you buy; she wears up until an appropriate age. Teenagers are not allowed to dress in all black, pierce everything, and have a belly or nose ring.  Mom and dad don’t smoke, eat well within reason. Supper time comes and now the child is eight. Mom or dad puts out a reasonable portion of spinach that she has been getting since she was able to digest it. Child tells her parents thank you and eats it along with a small baked potato and piece of chicken. No problem unless the child is full. Yes, she still gets dessert, and left over’s for lunch or supper the next night. Bedtime is routine. Shower, brush your teeth, get a book if she would like and parents approve as well as she wears pajamas to bed. No shorts and sloppy tee shirt Bedtime is seven every night, no exception, and lights out at eight; done.

     Poor example:   Baby is nurtured, bottle fed or breast, either way apparent chooses. Parents don’t talk about a plan but leave it up to whoever thought the other one was going to take care of things. Shopping is, but honey I thought you wanted the pink one? Child throws a tantrum and mom or dad allows her to get whatever she chooses so as not to embarrass their lack of parenting skills. At eight she is now allowed to have her ears pierced, four times on each side. At thirteen she is wearing a belly and nose ring. Supper is whoever gets something from the freezer. Shower if she wants to, brushes her teeth to now cover up the pot odor along with going to bed at eleven at night in her cut off shorts and smelly sweatshirt in her bed that hasn’t been changed in three weeks. Now fourteen a guy is beeping outside and good old mom and dad say, honey you better hurry, Rick is waiting, who by the way is nineteen. Almost fifteen she comes in one night crying thinking mom and dad know what to do now that she is pregnant; done.

     So does your child think your worth as a parent, friend, supporter is all about money? The second child in this would. Tonight I met a woman who is raising her grandson, who she stated with pride. He is such a good boy and a nice person, no thanks to his mom who is her daughter and the dad either-in a way. Dad does try, but doesn’t know how to parent. Dad sees his son on weekends and buys him things and does not discipline at all. The Grandparents do that.

   Take the dollar signs away to get to really know your child. I’m not talking about need. I’m talking about want. Our kids do need us financially from time to time, but that’s need, not greed. Don’t get the two mixed up, because they won’t. It’s up to us.

Reverend Joe and The Road Crew

 

                                                                  

Read about Marty's gut wrenching pain in this first book,( Grab a tissue) and how secrets of some of the road crew catch up to them one by one as told to the boss, Big Mike. Is Reverend Joe's secret worse than the others?  Put an Irish accent in as you read the grave digger's story as he tells what happened to his mother when the mob was going to tear her home down and how he solved taking care of his dear old mum. There's fun, tears, friendship like no other, murder, connections never broken, love and the possibility of a future love.

That's in book two due out in March.

     An unexpected love which brings out the pain of the past and hope and love for the future when one of the crew thinks he sees someone from a long time ago while working on the new site downtown Manhattan. The road crew battle a well known builder, who has more money than even he knows about and whose son disappeared four years earlier. What does the the Road Crew find when digging up old concrete, or who?

The Deanna Protocol and ALS Contact Info.

            Recently I wrote about AKG, a whey Protein which assists in building or rebuilding muscle for those who have ALS. I saw an interview on the Seven Hundred club with Dr. Vincent Tedone and his daughter who he named It after, calling it ( the treatment) The Deanna Protocol.
         I received a comment about this and that made me look a little more into it  as time allows this morning. I went on line and simply put in "The Deanna Protocol". The first one that came up was a blog connected with CBN.com

      Deanna's father's name and contact information was there as well as a story about someone else with ALS who started on The Deanna Protocol much earlier Than Deanna and he too is doing very well. Deanna is driving and more according to the article, one worth reading.
              Dr. Vincent Tedones contact address is: vmtedone@gmail.com
Please, please, write to him.
      Don't let this information go to waste and look it up for yourself. Check out the comment section on one of my last few blogs with other contact info as well. Another piece of this is using coconut oil as part of a massage that it gets into the skin and is helpful in other ways. Read as much about this as you can, learn and feel better.

PANEWO-MADE ME NUTS!

      I love word scrambles also known as, "JUMBLE" and every so often a set of mixed up letters makes me nuts, so you unscramble that set. One word was HACTED-that for me was a snap so was RAWEY and so was TIBRO. Now it's your turn. When I find out the word I couldn't get straight I snap myself and say all kinds of things and I come very close, the order of letter and an almost I got it, but not good enough.
   The mixed up letters end up to be the following THRYOWEONT, Now you have fun. A hint is this can be two words, but Jumble made it into one. Get your pencils out, scratch your heads and have fun. Not as if you have two heads
 just have fun.

More on AKG WHEY Protein

       This was a word I heard when I listened to the story of the Deanna Protocol, WHEY PROTEIN AKG, so I just looked it up myself-again.

       IT, AKG whey Protein is a muscle building protein with extra ingredients in the AKG which now makes sense to me as ALS disease breaks down muscle. It seems so simple doesn't it? The price of a quarter tank of gas helps build back up muscle, not cure it, but build it back up and maybe not to what we want, yet now we know this is a possible start to an answer to this disease. We have so many things that alter diseases, stop them in their tracks, so give it a try. It's a Protein that builds muscle. Good health to you and those you love.

ALS, Lou Gehrigs Disease & The Deanna Protocol Help

    Yesterday I heard and saw progress for this terrible disease and wanted to pass it along to those who don't know about it. As most people know it has to be approved scientifically.,first before the government approves it which means we never know when they'll offer it to those who need it.
   Lou Gehrig's disease, ALS, attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and is a fatal and incurable neuromuscular skeletal disease.

   Not long ago a young woman about to be married became a victim of this disease and her father who is a doctor couldn't bare it, the same as all parents, but he had his profession to help in his search for an answer. He discovered what is known now as, The Deanna Protocol. The Deanna protocol is the use of AKG.
  IT has now also been subjected to mice with ALS and has shown amazing improvement.
                                        AKG an be purchased at health food stores. Check it out for yourself. I have seen and heard the story of these people on CBN. The young woman is happy to be alive who without AKG may very well have met the end of her life. If I remember correctly AKG is a protein, very high in the needed ingredients to fight this disease. It's so simple. Remember when people were dying of aids? This is not a cure but stalls the progression of ALS. What would you do for someone you loved? It's worth a try.

Mercury Emmissions in Energy Saving Bulbs

        I know we are all about energy and the idea of energy saving light bulbs is great. I evne bought a few. After a kid dropped his lamp and the top of the bulb smashed he asked to vacuum it up. NOOO, ya can't. We are supposed to scrape it up as much as possible and put it in a sealed container. How is this bulb good for the earth? Good for humans? I saw an infected foot because a man stepped on a sliver of that kind of bulb, you know the one with the circles. It wasn't just infected, but ballooned up twice its size, turned green and looked like it need to be cut off, and had such a wide open cut because of the damage from Mercury leaking out of the bulb.
      The US banned thermometers because of mercury, but it's okay to put mercury in light bulbs?
       Who was paid for this new and poisonous, dangerous invention?

Sundance leather ALL American Products in Colarado

     Good Morning Everyone!!! I have found a site which shows so many all AMERICAN companies.
   It started with me looking for American made sneakers. That was a thrill ! Anyway in my search I decided to check out one of the listed sites. The great thing for me is the selection is not so huge that it makes me nuts, it's perfect.  I 'm on the East Coast and love winter.
    For those of you who ski, snowboard, live in the cold winter climates or are just a person who gets cold easily, this is the place to shop and know that you support American made products. Also if you have friends or family who live is the colder climates, this is the place. Sundance sheepskin and leather is located in Colorado.
       They also carry sheepskin blankets a very good item to keep in your car for that long ride;you know when one person is not bothered by the cold ( like me) but the other is freezing, well freeze no more, and order from Sundance Sheepskin and leather. Small children and older people usually feel the cold more, so do someone a good deed and purchase a warm item like slippers or the sheepskin hat, mittens or scarf. Check them out Sundanceleather.com here.  I just checked the link and it's working and waiting.

   Thank you Sundance, proud to be an American

Squatter's Rights? - In Your Own home?

     Who would ever think if you left your home to go to work in another area for two weeks you would come home to strangers living there. This is a true story happening in America. Yes, I saw it on Dr. Phil, but if that could happen to such a nice average couple it can happened to anyone. It made me feel that if you leave your home for any extended period of time, you better have a house sitter!
      In this case these strangers who the owners never met, didn't rent to them, didn't lease to them, just moved in lock, stock and barrel. They took complete possession.
       It went so far that the owners ended up living in their own basement sleeping on an air mattress with two small children,  and had to get an eviction notice for these strangers, these lowlife amoebas.  Once they got the eviction notice the strangers filed bankruptcy. That ended up to then put a stop to everything including the eviction because the strangers listed the house as theirs. How do people such as those who took over get away with it. Maybe they need some old fashioned Brooklyn attitude adjustments.
    On a positive note, Dr. Phil contacted The Bank of America who holds the mortgage and is now helping the family to straighten out this awful situation. But what if there wasn't a Dr. Phil? Why wouldn't bank of America listen to these people the first time? Why wouldn't Bank of America help the first time? Did they just want something positive about the bank to air? Okay I'll drop that, but the biggest question here is, how does this happen in America and how are people allowed to use the system to get away with plain old S---!

New Balance Ladies sneakers

     Everyone has their own feelings about sneakers, but I know people who specifically love New Balance. These ladies talk about how they fit, comfort and how the wear and would not wear anything else, so try them, what do you have to lose? An uncomfortable sneaker? I have seen them in stores, design, colors and style. My one old friend always wore a pair to match her jeans, and she said she could do that because of the cost, very reasonable. Go take a look, and see for yourself; you won't be sorry. For 59.99 you can go to Kohls.com

Who or What is GerbenSchmergen ?

      Many years ago in a small town in Long Island a little boy name J lived with his family. He was so curious and his mom, a teacher for children with very special needs decided her son needed something special to occupy his time, so she bought him something he never, ever expected.
      It was his birthday morning and she made his favorite breakfast, a bagel with applesauce on it, hot chocolate, and oatmeal with cinnamon, no sugar. His mom's name was K and she had a wonderful imagination so she wrapped his gift up and lay it on the table. It was very long and looked like it had a handle. K glued fruit bars to it, sugarless gum, sunglasses and a fanny pack.
     J woke up early knowing how his mom loved to surprise him and instantly he saw the package. He started guessing, mom is it a shovel, a golf club or a fancy umbrella? What mom, what is it? K told him to eat, and then he could open his present. J's dad came out ready to have breakfast, kissed his son on the head and told him he loved him, and Happy birthday, left a small package next to the big one. Dad also glued things on his package, and it looked like small books. J was very confused.
     After everyone finished eating J stood up, mom, dad can I open my gifts now? They both smiled and said yes and J ripped the gift paper off with a fury. J had such a look of confusion as he looked at something he never saw before. Mom, what is this, a shovel of some kind? No she told him, it's a metal detector! She looked estactic knowing the fun he'd have exploring. J still looked confused. K went on to explain what it was used for and J put it down. This did not make him happy, but he did take the gum, fruit bars, sunglasses and fanny pack off the paper.
       Now he looks at his father and said, dad I hope this is better. Dad stopped him and said, I don't appreciate what you just said about your mothers gift. J was raised right and understood what his father meant. Right away he apologized and said, mom, I'm sorry, I love you, and he meant it. K with tears said I know you are and I love you too sweetie.
     J then ripped open his dads' gift. Again his eyes fell. Dad! What is this, why are you giving me a shovel? I know this is a shovel and a little one. His dad, E. said you will need it and it opens to get bigger. You will use it with your metal detector. When you find riches and your metal detector makes noises, you have to dig to find your treasure.
     J was really disappointed. He wanted video games, but his mom and dad understood very well what was happening with children who no longer used their brains to learn and explore and play outside. The next day J's dad, E. said let's go outside and I'll show you how to use your metal detector, and he told J to take out one of the wrapped small packages he left inside. J opened it up. It was a book, all about treasures, gems and things people found with a metal detector.
     After E showed his son how to use it, J went out to his yard which was really two acres of property and mom would watch and watch every day. Finally one day about three weeks after J started using his metal detector, his mom and dad saw him run to get the shovel, grab a piece of gum, look in his book and ran back to a spot and start digging. Mom and dad watched with anticipation. They saw J take something from the ground. He put it in his pocket and ran to the house.
He yelled as he came in slamming the door, mom! Dad! Look, I've got a gerbenschmergen!
   As soon as they saw him running they stepped in another room so he wouldn't know they were watching. Mom and dad at once said, A what? Oh dad don't you know. It's a gerbenschmergen ! Okay, I have to go back to find more. For years after that little J used his metal detector and he dug a tunnel to store all of his gerbenschmergens ! When J grew up, he married a lady who was a lot like his mom and he and his wife had a son. When his son was nine years old J gave him his first Metal detector. His son asked , what's this for? Well son, it's for you to find your own Gerbenschmergens!

Cancer Helpers-Soup Sor? Graviola Tree

      Who do you hear? Who do you listen  to when you have an illness such as cancer? So many who love you will tell you to just listen to the doctor, he or she knows best. All other who also love you but may not be as close like moms & dads, children and spouses will tell you about everything else. So who do you trust and believe? This is your life. If it doesn't hurt does that mean it will help? I don't know.
       Today on face book I learned of  a fruit that has lot of hype( true or not it's worth a try) about being a cancer cell killer better than just about anything. I got on the phone, called Whole foods in Philly and a health food store where I live. They never heard of it.  But I bet if I look hard enough I will find it here. Always keep your doctor informed and never let him or her go.
          It comes from Brazil and other areas with such climates and grows on a tree called Graviola. On another note every day that I listen o Dr. Oz who is a heart surgeon but open minded about all kinds of treatments for many illnesses. His main two are the Heart and Cancer. He advises what many doctors now advise. EAT, Eat and Eat more Blueberries, Carrots, bright fruits and vegetables and for a while leave meat alone. Go Vegan if you can and meditate.
        Keep negative people away from you-far away, as far as it takes to make you able to breath better again.

Hamilton Beach Smoothie Smart Blender-help moms & dads

     This would be a nice gift if you know someone who could use a blender, but not just any blender, a smoothie Smart by Hamilton Beach. Another suggestion with this to give some recipes that are made with only a few items. I think some people feel,OMG this is too much, I might as well buy a smoothie at the store, so make it simple, and maybe even a step further, but those items for a smoothie recipe, and have a  smoothie day once a week with your friends.
   Have a Smoothie Saturday-with kids or friends or both!!!!
Let me add one last thing. Lets say a friend is about to have a first baby and wants to start a natural way of life, which is highly suggested in this world of pesticides...so what better way to go?
       Give the new mom a gift that's life affordable. While you're doing that if you know her friends maybe once a week stop over, make smoothies in the Smoothie Smart blender by Hamilton Beach and bag them in zip lock bags. Store them in a box type container( a half cardboard box) so they don't fall over, label flavors and  then when she needs a healthy meal, is tired and doesn't want to cook or prepare-it's there!

Movie, "BOOM" MMA, Freakin' Smokin!

              I just got back from the movie with two boys, one a guest and that alone was great. He was so polite and appreciative it made the day better. Anyway, DO NOT PAY Attention to CRITICS. You know the kind who get paid to critique movies.
              This is a movie for anyone and yet of course if you have any kids who have tendencies toward violence, they will miss the point of the story and only see the aggression in the MMA rings and during practice sessions.
     It was the kind of movie I actually wish I was in Brooklyn for. There  people would stand and cheer, yell a few yeas for the good guys, hoop and holler, grin and shout. Here, nothing, zip, except for a few people saying aw's, but the passion was missing. The story was filled with passion and the music; I was swimming in it. During some of it where Henry Winkler played the music teacher and led his class into that symphony type of music playing softy, but with heart felt euphoria, I closed my eyes to feel it even better that I did during his first class showing. The music! It's true; Without music, well what do you think?

Arrogant and Entitled-STOP!!!

       Where do people get off expecting they deserve? That they simply deserve to have, because they want it and then get mad because you tell them, no you're not getting that. I for one am fed up with the attitude of people who behave in a manner that's one of arrogance and entitlement. Sure I heard that phrase from Dr. Phil, but it couldn't have been said better. I have used those exact words before in the same sentence/s, but for some reason it hit closer to home last night.
       I know the reason too but am somehow still dumbfounded at the expectations young people have and okay maybe many adults too. But we are in such a gimmes society, one of being self-absorbed, it's no wonder more and more people can't mend relationships.
       What about empathy? Try just more than once to put yourselves into someone elses shoes. Oh that's too hard. It would mean thinking about someone else. About a month ago, I heard a little kid talk about his guardians and he was worried about their finances. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How kind, thoughtful and selfless. His words should be echoed throughout where ever we go. He said, well they only have a little money so I don't want to ask...Now how does he know what kind of money they have unless he was told or overheard something? But he showed empathy. Either way he shows he cares about how others are doing.
      Christmas is close, so very close, and expectations are too high for me so I am not going to be concerned about gift giving to those who thing they deserve it. What makes people deserve about five hundred dollars worth of gifts? People who don't want to give back, but simply take? Nooo way Jose. Christmas is about Love and a birth and giving because you want to give, weather it's to tithe more, give to a favorite charity a little extra, help someone out a little, gifts for loved ones and some not so loved ones, help with the recent disaster and all in all to spend your money they way you see fit. Don't put yourselves in a bad way because people feel entitled and or will be mad if you didn't buy a huge gift or gifts. Remember, it lasts for a little while. If they get mad, they'll get over it.
       If they don't, you know you did right from the start.

PLAQUE in AMERICA

       Recently I had a heart exam, came out fine, but asked about Plaque and the doctor said it this way. No further tests needed since your tests are as good as they are, however, if you live in America, you have Plaque.

   That brought to thinking about Plaque in America as how diseased we are concerning everything else. Look at kids and education. Educators for the most part bend over backwards to help kids who "get" diagnosed with anything and everything, so schools have to comply with IEP's and so much more. The kids, not all but many continue to not appreciate, but use and take advantage. The answer? LEAVE THEM BACK ! I am tired of babying these children who will end up getting out of HS with a diploma for doing as little as possible and in the end, AMERICA pays. Kids with attitudes and words such as, "They can't do that" and or, "they're not allowed to do that, and I have my rights."
   True you have your rights, but you ARE THE PLAQUE IN AMERICA ! You should be left back you whiny little snots with all of those rights.
     JOBS..PLAQUE in AMERICA or rather not in AMERICA. Why can't we take some control? I know we didn't see it coming but how many years have to pass before we take control. STOP BUYING as much as possible, things made in other countries. I know , America seems more like everything is made in China and other foreign countries. If you are reading this you have a computer. Look up Made in America products. They are all over.
     PORN PLAQUE...get rid of it! Check history on your child's computer, and also on your spouse's computer, check recently deleted history. Check the recycle bin.
  Just take time in the choices you do have. Let's try as hard as we possibly can and get rid of Plaque in America- Oh lets' not forget GOSSIP ! A serious form of PLAQUE,  and usually by a neighbor right across the street from you who never has all the information, but is quick to spread rumors, calls himself a God fearing man, but quick to destroy anther's integrity, add ruination to a child's life and simply sets out to destroy=PLAQUE. Okay, off to brush... anything that needs it.

Underarmour Clothing Wear for Everyone

      Some time ago My son who is a bike rider let me in on Underarmour clothing. He gave high praise for durability, weather resistant as well as weather protective, keeping a person cool or warm as needed in any particular weather.
  Then I met two kids, one of whom at first I was told only wears under armour. By then I learned Underarmour was used mostly as out side clothing and with that you don't  have to pile on layers and layers feeling all bulked up. So now these kids come along who are also Underarmour fans, It isn't about style although they look as fashionable when they go to school or sporting events and even to a movie as anyone else does. Good things come in pars. Now I had three witnesses.
    Finally about a month ago I attended a bike race, and behold! It looked like an UNDER AMOUR FAN club. Now go, buy your Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall Underarmour wear. Hey it's time to ski or shovel the driveway. Ski first, shovel later, but don't forget your Underarmour :)

Support Westside Dental York, Pa.

       Have you heard of Dental Dreams? It's a chain of Dental offices much like Walmart. As you step inside it appears to be run like a factory. Look up it's history, how they get their licenses in most states.   After I read a quite a few pieces on this company it's more like Dental Nightmares. Personally I have not, nor would not want to experience anything connected to Dental Nightmares. It's a rare occasion that I want to impact any business and would rather not mention them, but others, smaller businesses are affected once you have WALMART type businesses open up and try to take over.
                                                             ****
          The Dental office I suggest locally in the York area is Westside Dental. Let me tell you about an observation I saw. One day while having a child there for a cleaning, the dentist himself walked out and started tidying up. How many people in the medical profession have people to do that? Such as a cleaning service? That showed me this man believes himself equal, not better than anyone else. That's the kind of person you want on your side, uh, on your teeth. We even talked about it one day as I joked around a little letting him know I noticed him doing that at other times. I love Westside Dental !
          If business is slow, he's tidying up. But I don't ever see anything to tidy up!
Sure, he may be a neat freak, but again, isn't that the kind of person you want working on your child's teeth. Some who cares about the details, who doesn't, pardon the pun, brush things off easily? Westside Dental is located on rt. 30 near a donut shop-stay away-sugar is bad for your teeth. The exact address is 970 Loucks rd. phone # 717-854-5551- across from  Old Country Buffet.

                   Something I might add, Dr. Urick always gives the kids compliments. I know when I take children there, they enjoy their visits, are never fearful and leave with a sense of, well as the last child told me, I like him, when do I go back? Ya just can't beat that?                                                                     

Canon Digital Camera

  I have a Canon purchased by my son who is a photographer. They come in all grades as is your choice. What I mean by that exactly is, prices and ability. My ability was low, but I did learn and I'm a much older person, but the Canon company is always there, ready to help. With each new mistake, I went on line, or sometime had to talk to someone in person and I did that too. The one advertised at samsclub.com is a T3i OMP Digital SLR, with18-55mm IS lens.
   Put your family and travel life in the hands of a Canon. By the way, also take shots of everything you own. Can't be more clear than that with a Canon.

Cuisinart Smart Stick Blender, A DEAL! I love it!

     OMG! Okay I never start out like that but you should see these. I use my stick blender a lot. It makes great scrambled eggs, mixes juices quickly and so much more. When I crack my eggs in a bowl, I just grab my Stick blender and whoosh, right there, no special mixing cup. I checked out the ad and the colors pop! I MEAN POP!
       It's on sale now and would make a very nice holiday gift, or a gift for anyone starting in a new home.  Try it, you'll like it :) Oh wait, I almost forgot the best reason to buy someone the Cuisinart stick blender which is so true. It's much easier on the hands. If you know anyone who has arthritic hands or carpel tunnel, You'll be doing them a huge favor. It comes in Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Pomegranate.

Medicine Ball 6 lb. Workout-Fitness Gear

          I bought a medicine ball a few days ago and love it. I'm starting small but doing many reps. I throw it up in the air thirty times once an hour. It works my hands shoulders and the back of my arms. To work the backs of arm even better, I toss it from hand to hand sitting at my desk chair or on the sofa. When it bothers my shoulders too much, I stop and switch or just plain stop.
    I am doing a forty day workout plan involving forks over knives and working out at home and the gym. I am also engaging the help of a kid who will go to the gym with me at least time times a week.
   Oh the medicine ball is a Fitness Gear ball and for me the weight is well distributed. Cost 19.99 and worth it. I love balls and this one is going to benefit me more than most. My two favorite balls are a small pink Spalding and a Spalding Basketball. Hey Guys, Christmas is coming.

Epson Workforce all-in-one Printer 99.99 Office Max

   Recently I came into an Epson Workforce all-in-one Printer. My old one left me sitting as the driver went out. When I contacted that company they said they can sell me a new printer or I can buy a driver. I wasn't able to download with that company. So talking with my daughter she said she had a printer I could have. YEA! I am writing books and needed one desperately, didn't want to spend the money right now.
   So when she brought it in I see an Epson Workforce all-in -one Printer which prior to this I never heard of. Paperwork was lost as was the manual and disk. I contacted epson on line and they tried to help me download information. Some would download, but not the info for the disk. They send me a new one !  Yes, I did pay for it,(fair priced) but it arrived in three days and I didn't pay for that early service.
   Last week a repair man came over, saw the printer and said, hey I have one just like that. I love it. you'll enjoy it too, easy to use. The prices are reasonable and this printer is no where as heavy as my older one, well just three years older. For me to move it around to clean and more, it's a cinch! You won't be sorry with an Epson-all-in one Workforce. Right now the Epson 435 is only 99.99 at Office-MAX                                see Officemax.com


  

Do you love Dawn? I do

       So we all love dawn, that time of day when light changes. But now, I'm talking about DAWN DISH cleaner. All of the commercials on television are true. Dawn does the job and does it great, not just well, but great. I can put DAWN in the sink and come out with non-greasy dishes. YOU get more value for your money too and you can buy it at dollar stores. So give your old dish liquid a friend. Give it DAWN.

Ron Myrnes repairs again with Honeywell Product

      I'm telling you, if you need a home repair call Ron if you live in the York Pa. area. It was just a few days ago I e-mailed him to ask about thermostat covers/guards. He in turn sent me a link to see what kind and size I needed. Choices are good. He called me prior to picking them up to talk about sizes and prices, what was available. My thermostats are over twenty-five years old. I can't even replace the original dials.
     Ron arrived this morning not too early, but at an agreed time that met both schedules, and went right to work putting the Guards on. In one bedroom I have a youngster who will turn the heat way up and leave it on when he leaves in the morning. For the bathroom having a guard on protects from wet hands and in yet another guest bedroom, I can still have some control over the heat if needed.
     Ron did the job, and finished in only what someone can call, an experienced amount of time. That's what you want; experience, integrity and a plan. Ron Myrnes offers all of that. He also offers to keep an eye open for things a person may need in the future, trying to help people out who are concerned with budgets. By the way, Ron never leaves a mess, and if there is a small mess, he cleans it up. This guys comes prepared!
                                                                Call Ron at 717 887-4219
   

Planet Fitness 10. Initiation Fee/10 a month

      I love Planet Fitness and I was waiting until the initiation fee went down again and it did. It went from 29.99 a month to 20.00 a month so I felt I was sure in know it would drop down to 10.00- but as most businesses they hoped to get some people to join for that 20.00 initiation fee.
     I wrote out the fee in numbers as that's what consumers notice first and it's well worth it. You get free training. How do you beat that? I've been a member for a long time but now I had an opportunity to let a young kid join for just 10.00 down and 10. a month. There is a one time a year fee of about 30.00 in October, but this is still the best buy around for any gym and yes, I know it depends on a few things. What do you want in a gym, a pool, a basketball court, handball and more? Then Planet Fitness isn't for you.
     But if you strictly want a good work out without people pestering you, then Now is the time to join Planet Fitness. Check your local planet Fitness on line before you go, and by the way I do not work for Planet Fitness but when I see something worth consumer dollars I like to pass it along.

Door Repair Held Ron Myrnes 717-887-4219

       Good Morning after the storm. Just a short note which I knows appears to be of no significance when we are aware of the destruction all around us, mainly the East Coast. However I wanted to pass along to local people this man's name  his number and the kind of work he does, yes again. You know how it is; When there is something good, or someone good you want to share, pass along the good news. Well Ron repaired a front steel door so the wind no longer blows through. I have had a few people who when here said, you'll have to get a new door, and a whole lot more. Yes, just looking for a huge payout. I can't afford that, and was very fortunate to find Ron Myrnes. He works with my time and budget and I am so grateful.
     With the winds we had the past few days, I was waiting for some part to be loosened, but nope, nothing. tight and sealed wind zone free. Now that's the kind of home repair guy you want. He is on your side, not a corporation, but just one man. 717-887-4219

Are you on-line? HELP, not me

     Help those who can't be or get on line. Help those who don't have cell phones or can't charge them with a car charger. I've heard so much the past few days where news type people are telling the citizen to check blah blah blah dot com, but not everyone is on line ! Not everyone is wireless! Not everyone has a cell phone !
    I can take care of myself and prepare well, but I think about those who can't. People all over are being told to evacuate. But where do they go when they don't have either family, money, a car or a way to get to the centers. Mass transit is shut-down in many places, so what do those people do who are, have become dependent on taking a train or a bus. Not everyone is looking out for those who don't have the necessities to look out for themselves. So knock on doors, Make yourself available but keep safe doing it.
   Yesterday a kid here asked me, would I help the people next door. He actually wasn't talking about the neighbors who over the years constantly encroach on my property, but the nicer people who take immaculate care of their property but have shown something of  a stern attitude when kids trespass or pick things from their property. Well he got a big yes from me, and  I would if needed help the not so nice people, because there but for the Grace of God.....Do what you can.
Stay safe.

Ron Myrnes, Best Repair AROUND-717-887-4219 York

       I almost wish for a first time that Christmas wasn't coming so soon. I'd continue to make home improvements. That's what this is all about, not simply that I needed these doors, walls, holes patched, warps lined up and a new screen door, but it makes sense to be practical, and what a great feeling it is.
       Ron has been working here as I can budget repairs and how many men will take on jobs like that. He's helped me, planned, explained this and that, cost of new verses repair/recycle the old. Ten times out of ten, repair the old makes more sense that to go out and buy new. New as we know is rarely as good as the old.
       When we talk quality we have to use Ron Myrnes and quality repair in the same sentence. Precision counts with Ron. I watched again off and on without wanting to be a pain, as he fixed my very old front door. The frame was out of line, the door sloped and about twenty-dollars a month of cold air leaked through when the wind blew up here on a hill.
       You know how some people just don't trust what repairmen are doing, lean over their shoulders, always in and out, well not here and never, ever necessary with this man. He explained the how and why my door was the way it was, and how he was fixing it. I enjoy knowing because I just like woodworking, but never because of a lack of trust. I would leave and allow Ron in my house to do his work and was going to one day but forgot to move my car, and hate to bother people. This guy really gets involved in his course of action.
       Presently I need a new front storm door, but when I checked prices plus installation for the same door, it cost about four hundred, maybe a little over. A big wrought iron storm door, Ron looked it over,let me know what kinds of things he could do to make it new, replace the whole top glass section, fix the screen inset, re-line the door and paint it, I knew I would have one of those better than new things people always talk about, and of course won't hand out his estimate, but each time a repair comes up, I am gently surprised at his honestly.
     Honesty comes in many forms. It's the work, the quality, the knowledge, if cost effective, and of course it goes without saying the kind of person you are letting into your home. Ron Myrnes treats my home with respect as if it were a palace.
     So now I won't be adding to the local dump, but renewing, and my kitchen cabinets that I've wanted for so long, you know the pretty cottage type with glass, Ron said that too was do-able. Me? I tried to paint one-shivers-then he let me know how it should be done, like a professional, like  a man who knows his trade. He doesn't need my business, but I need his character, quality, and know how. I can't wait to get started again after the holidays.
 
      

Obama helped Florida ? What About Chicago?

       So what about Chicago? I see continuous news about the poor shape Chicago is still since He took office.(please don't single out one area) Look I am not a political person, but lately I've found myself paying more attention. I do get a lot of Obama hate type mail and that I delete. Some I think is just plain racist and I don't care what gender or color of who is in office only that they are true Americans, do what they swore to do, keep God in this country, support all religions, not take Prayer day out but support their own on the white house lawn, on and on.
       Florida is a political powerhouse, a swing state, so is that why Obama helped them out so readily, a few times ?
        Why do we have so many gangs in Chicago, Los Angles and New York, other big cities ? Is it Education, or the lack of it, the fact that guns and drugs are so freely bought and sold. Is it the lack of jobs? It's all of them for sure. Busy people don't have time to get into trouble and usually busy people are happier and healthier people. I have a kid here who warns people, well if I can't work,(he's too young) I'll probably get in trouble and yes, he'll suffer the consequences, but so will society. It cost money to arrest, go to court, fine and house a criminal.
        But people without an education, without a self-supporting job in too many cases turn to drugs, alcohol and negative actions. They look for guns, women sell them selves, support pimps and drugs, and are sold to innocent children  and innocent children are sold. Our schools have police walking the halls !!! What in Gods name is wrong with this ?
     Well Obama and anyone else, as you see society has worsened and no, I am not blaming it all on Obama. It takes time to have the society we now have and just maybe if we have a new president in office, one whose spiritual views are, well, just are, we may bring God back. Then again maybe we need a mom in office? Who will protect our children?

Obama, Biden Lied about Lybia !

     You can't fool all the people all of the time, unless you are a die hard Democrat with blinders on. Some on Bidens' team are saying Obama didn't know because he wasn't in touch with security. That is crap! Pure dirty crap !
   Bob Cooper a congressman from Tennessee spoke about this today, stated Obama is riding on getting Bin laden. But why is it he did not protect our embassy where four people were killed and one was dragged through the streets.
   Even within five days it was confirmed that this was not a sudden protest or because people were mad about a film against Muslims, but it WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK!!! Yet Obama still denies, still lies as does his smiling partner Biden.
    How does Obama get away with it? The same way Clinton got away with defiling the white house with Monica? How does Biden get away with it? I guess they can pardon one another, but pardon me Mr. President, I hope the American people don't pardon you, wake up and make to sure to Vote for anyone else on election day, before an attack on the American Embassies all over are attacked  and you didn't hear from security-again. No excuses everyone; what if that was your son or daughter in that Embassy?

Breath Change=Diabetes?

    1st woman---    Surprising for sure. I am lucky enough to stay home and watch Dr. Oz and just heard a story about a change in your breath. If you suddenly taste nail polish remover, sweet  and or tarty, get checked for diabetes. This woman also passed out, urinated more and needed more to drink as well as wanting sweets but remember the taste, a change in your breath. The last part is what we never hear about.
   Second woman Facial Hair, a Hair on her chest, fatigue, back pain=Ovarian Cancer! Her tumor was the size of a fetus undetected for two years.

    Vision change in third woman while driving. Dr. made her get an MRI Immediately-She had a stroke!  Act FAST (take two aspirin)
                       Face
                       Arm & Leg
                       Speech
                       Time-911 get to a hospital that handles in stroke survival-prior to the doctor visit she waited a week, no vision issues and went to the doctor for unrelated issues, casually mentioned the vision loss. She is now on an aspirin regimen.

Memory.. tests for memory.storage & retrieval-Three ways to know you are losing your memory.
       1.    using too much technology-use luminosity brain trainer

       2.    Your brain & menopause-why does this appear to be all about women?-
       3.    Weight change/gain  adds to memory loss.

On a personal note MEN also go through male o pause, use too much technology and gain weight but for men it's ends up being called, work, middle age crisis, and being happy. Bull-only

Oz has a posted memory quiz on his site Droz.com

Sunday Morning in New York

       Waking up on a Sunday morning in New York is unlike anywhere else. It's peaceful. Yes many places are peaceful, but unlike New York, those places are peaceful more often than not.
    Venetian blinds are a usual sight so waking brings into a room lines of light and dark. It's only knowing where that comes from you get up, pull the cord and change to darkness and back to bed. Now an hour later you wake as dawn approaches and quietly, as quiet as the morning, you brush your teeth, get dressed and go out.
    Coffee is waiting at a small local diner. The morning is still. The clatter of dishes from behind the counter disturbs your morning calm. You are sitting by the window watching. An old man with his dog whimpers along. He has a scruffy tweed beard. His old dog is also black and white. Yes you think they do look alike. He notices you looking at him in the window and offers a smile. You in turn barely offer one back as you catch your reflection in the window.
   You are alone. In the reflection you notice others walk into the diner. Couples comes in whispering, sitting down holding hands. People also come in alone, but with the Sunday morning paper for company and still other singles come in, order and leave. They see you and know you're alone. They think you're alone and surely lonely.
       As you sit you notice the morning is changing. The shadows move from one side of the street to the other and suddenly your breakfast is before you,  juice , a cheese omelet and an onion bagel. You already had a hot cup of coffee and now you hear, hey honey, how bout' another cup. Nodding yes, she pours and then you remember last night.
    Last night you promised yourself this was going to be your last Sunday morning in New York.

My Texan & a Flat Tire

       Out the door and anxious for some alone time, I was on the way to another area, letting the kiddo have some overnight friend time, and  then I heard it, flub, flub, the smacking sound of a flat tire. My first thought was, crap I just let my AAA expire as I changed lanes to get out of the way. Almost jumping from his car and what a car it was, he said looks like you need your tire changed. He just took charge. What a feeling. In my truck and then into his to get a bigger jack, he just talked on and on, about coming up to see his son.
      I looked back and forth at his car, a bright metallic orange with about six chrome speakers in the vehicle and in the truck. It was not just a work of art, but of love. He then told me he did it all, that, that's what he does for a living. Everything about this whole presence was unique. His attitude, his car and his look, all as one. He stood about five-foot five, short dark hair, arms covered with tattoo's, sunglasses and a smile that never stopped. When he was finished he offered to call Pepboys for me, but I was close so I just went over, but not before I offered him something for going out of his way to help me.
     Hands spread out and backing away, he said no, no ma mm, no thank you ma mm, I didn't stop for that. Y'all have a good day now and hopped in his care and took off.
       I ended up at pep boys who had a two hour wait, much more expensive tires, and then to another tire place, same thing. Finally as I knew I was going to AAA to reinstate my card, I stopped in at Goodyear. Again, good service a less expensive tire and finally arrived at AAA.
       The events of the day left me a bit flustered as the boy with me thankful about the guy stopping too, but then expectations set in, and an attitude followed that. We stopped at Sub-way to get him a foot long and he asked if I was mad. No, I explained I was upset at his attitude when he let me know how he disapproved at not having lunch immediately after the tire was changed . He just shrugged his shoulders.
     This is some of what I chatted about last night-that moment of pleasure. I guess we all take in things differently. That moment of pleasure for me, changing a tire, a stranger stopping, wouldn't accept a dime, no strings attached just stays longer. I remember his face vividly and that he was from Texas, so Mr. Texas, I doubt we'll meet again, but I'll be sure to repay what you did for me today to someone else, maybe not in the same situation, but someone who just needs that feeling of a Texan in shining armor.
