Sex & Siblings ?

     I know. It's a disgusting title but I wanted something to get your attention. This is serious. Recently I found out and I have heard about this before but didn't pay as much attention to this fact: How many times does a man marry, have children, move so often that the siblings have different last names and don't know of other half-siblings existence.That man or men don't want to tell the new family that they have completely abandoned kids on the Eats Coast, or West Coast, or the Midwest, so they start anew, leaving children all over.
    Besides that, what about families who get spilt up due to foster care and adoption. Adoptive parents no longer have to have sibling contact and most don't because they want their new children to "move on."
    A few years ago a young man stopped by to do some work, said he was getting married soon. Marriage came, and back to work. At the after party he found out the young lady he married was his cousin. Because of names changes, family moving, re marriages he never knew just how close he and his new wife were. They did decide to remain married but won't have children.
     My point is, people, stop jumping into bed with someone you have just met or only had a few dates with. Know them, really know them, background, family history, adoption, foster care, single parents? You really need that information.
      I learned of a half sibling when I was about nineteen and so many years later find out that one brother out of six, happened to be born two months apart from another brother. Parents hide secrets because they don't want to admit to mistakes. Then there are the parents who simply never marry so kids take on either the fathers name or the mothers name. Years pass and they  separate and move. One parent take the son, another the daughter...I could go on with all kinds of examples. Please be careful and parents, you'll get more from your kids by telling them at appropriate times and ages those kinds of secrets. They have a right to know...or do you want them bring a sibling home to marry, after they've already been having sex?

Fat? Medical & Mental Differences

     I call it as I see it and I have the experience. Off and on this last year according to what was happening in my life, I either over ate, ate just right, indulged too much with ice creams, friend and snacks ( only one night) or I ate sensibly and drank so much water.
     What I noticed is the mental effects of overeating as well as the medical side. Sure many say it's just mind over matter and if that works for you, go to it. If most really took the time to explore what's in our foods, we would only buy what grows naturally, well plant based. Need protein? Study, read, learn and ask questions. You don't need to go to health food stores, but for information, it's worth a trip. Need a second opinion, see an osteopathic doctor. What a world of difference.
      This last week I have changed what I usually eat to sweet potatoes, quinoa and vegetables, hard boiled eggs and ice milk for a sweet touch. I mixed the quinoa with the vegetables which were frozen and some baked chicken I made a day before, cutting it into small pieces. If you need more flavor, add a tine bit of Paprika, cinnamon or no fat dressing, or if you like more spice, pick your favorite.
    What I can say as fact is ninety percent of my pain in both shoulders is gone as is the horrible pain in my hands. WHY ? Because I forgot how good mentally and physically I felt when I did plant based eating last year. I have rotator cuff impingement in both shoulders and carpel tunnel in both hands. This change with water and food is like medicine and I didn't need a doctor at all to let me know the effects are positive.
   Many people hear drink a lot of water and say, no I can't. So did I. But when it came to me knowing I needed to feel better, the water did it. I fill a twenty ounce plastic glass, add some ice and drink. I watch TV or on my PC and before I knew it, I filled up again. I did this between two and three hours apart. Better than adding potato chips to my heart. Now when I eat, I tell myself, oh yeah, this is the good heart food. Find your own message and use it. It all helps.

Prison or Poverty ?

     Do you believe most prisoners belong where they are and deserve how they live or exist in prisons? Personally it's is an individual thing since DNA has become a very important factor. But when a crime is proven, they absolutely belong where they are, in my opinion of course.
   Today I read a bit of an article about how unfair it is in prison. Well if so, they stay away from crimes. Be a good citizen and stop your whining! Man or woman enough to do the crime ? Now it's time to pay up you loser you. But oh wah, wah. Suddenly you are being treated unfairly and call it cruel and unusual punishment. Too bad you didn't think about that when, just before you decided to mug an old lady, or rape a defenseless woman or man.
    Crimes take thinking beforehand. Very few are just a sudden thought and even that doesn't excuse you. So now you poor sad person. You have television, computer used, a library, a gym, basketball, medical, dental, clothes, haircuts, free meals, an EDUCATION, college degree, and if you have health issues with diet specific issues or religious, you get fed accordingly. BULL CRAP!!! The Citizens of the United States are still your victims because we are now paying to house you. On top of that you get free access to lawyers!
   Cruel and unusual punishment? I'll tell you what's cruel and unusual punishments beside all of the victims of your crimes,  it's people who live in poverty mainly because of crime in these United states. Look at the paper trail of crime and what it cost. That money could be helping those who really need it. Instead we pay to support the DEA, any and all programs for Alcohol rehab, Firearms bought and sold illegally, Pimps and prostitution, teens having babies, illegal immigrants. Those people, illegal immigrants at least most of them cross the borders to try to have a job of any kind, to live a better life for themselves and families. No excuse, but a reason.
   See families here on welfare because they have too many kids and parts of welfare should be cut off, but then look at Welfare and men and women who have lost their jobs, give them more. Welfare recipients should be drug tested. Its a cycle. People in prisons continue to commit crimes, receive disability, steak from dead people, get retirement and unemployment.
    When is our government going to put their big feet down?

Meds, Better Buys

     DO not buy your medicine as soon as you get your prescription, unless of course you need it. Here are some things to do to get a better buy:
  1.    Go home and make three calls to the favorite three pharmacies you deal with. Have a pen and paper in hand.
  2.     If a new script, only get a few of  that one filled , letting them know you don't want to pay for a whole prescription, when in fact it may have a side effect and not agree with you. (side note) Recently I had a script filled and before hand asked the doc about side effects. He brushed me off and said, nah...well I bout the whole thing and the side effect was it made me so sleepy, I napped way too much.
  3.    Ask for generic.
  4.    Ask for delivery. They may not do it twice for a same script filled with just a few pills, but it's worth it.
  5.    Once you found a better pharmacy that isn't trying to steal the last penny you have, ask you doctor to make any future scripts in doubles and explain why. Then ask him to have his office call in to your favorite pharmacy.
     Good Luck with the pharmacies and your doctor, oh a last thought, ask your Parmacy if they have discounts, either for age or new meds.

Vertigo VS. VIAGRA=3V's-short

       I think I told the doctor I had a problem with Viagra. He laughed and said, well since you're a female I doubt it. It turned out to be Vertigo. Wow, that feeling made me think, how does anyone want to take illegal drugs ever? Now about the drugs-well read the next post. I was given two scripts for a medication to help lighten the feeling of Vertigo, but if on it, I could not drive as it makes you sleepy, very sleepy and the other med is for nausea, 7 pills for 43.00! (ONDANSETRON) I still haven't needed that, as that feeling along with sweating went away the first day. The first one to lighten the feeling was only 7. for 20 pills. Now see the next post. Oh, I can't get a refund because the bottle wasn't sealed.
