Good Day "33"

 Ok, I'm back....your Queen is one of the smartest people around for taking her Primrose oil...she must have an prety good doctor...no wonder she's 86 years old now. It contains an D-3 in it ..that stops any acumulations of Cholestrol to clog the arteries.Was feeling pretty bad most of yesterday...I got all the plants in the backyard fertilzed in the garden though.  And...my son is back here from being gone for an week picking up and delivering hugh windmill generators. Grandpa and grandson took off to the Saturday Farmer's Market to hand out leaflets on organic growing and general knowledge....they have this going this year as part of an "community project" in scoutting. They started gearing up and sharing lists for Scout camp last night...it comes up by toward the end of July. Strang things going on.... I find it hard, but locally in the last month 6 little kids fell out of windows in an upper story house or apartment...most ended up in criticial condition. Most all were toddlers also...and you'd think the window and screening would be strong enough they couldn't do this. 350 houses have burned in Colorado with two deaths...President finally showed up and lent out his military jets to spray the fire retardent down. 35,000 people are still evacuated...with many having no home now. Last I had heard it burned 24 miles... something akin to an inferno for the firefighter's...in temperatures of 103 degrees. It started in yesterday across the mid-section of the country to the east coast with triple diget temperatures...102 to 118 degrees. Where there are storms...they are severe thunderstorms. Lots of general tree damage for the most part so far. To me, yesterday was not one of our betterdays...to much going on. So far I feel an bit better today..keeping my fingers crossed. I could barely walk yesterday for the cramps and pain. I go for now, as I didn't get many of the plants into the ground yesterday. Just an bit left and we have the yard done until next year. Have an good weekend everyone!

Hello all,

I hope all is well with all of you. How is your Dad doing Anna? I hope he is on the mend. 

My late wife suffered with cramps and is was caused by a circulation problem but she alleviated them by taking iron and magnesium tablets. Sometime a wee bit of salt even helped. She used to get it bad and it was horrible to watch the poor dear staggering around in pain. Well, she is not in pain any more...............

It is cold here and much as I don't want to strain the electricity bill I have to use heaters in the evenings. The alternative is to go to bed early and maybe I can do that now because, due to having sold some stuff I didn't need I could afford a new telly. The old one is now in the bedroom so I can retire to bed and watch telly in comfort. It helps to make me sleep too. Telly has that effect on me. When I first visited England in '71 I saw telly for the first time. Yes that's right SA didn't get telly until 1974! I sat down to watch telly, all excited, and promptly fell asleep. I still have a problem staying awake unless the program is really interesting.

Have a good evening all.

Hi Syd and thanks for asking about Anna's Dad but the truth is he is struggling still. Lost a lot of weight and has yet another operation to face in a few weeks time for three aneurisms!

Anna suffers cramp literally from her toes to her tongue, although not quite so bad now after the GP put her on Phenytoin, but as you suggest Syd awful to have to watch it.

Good Lord, I'm full of pizza tonight..Canadian bacon with fresh tomatoes, pepperroni...an beer would to taken me down on the foor I think. I ate two pieces and an wee little sliver. I am about to go take some pills to help process it in my body nicely. But I still have the grandson here..and who wants go stir crazy when your an kid watching TV or playing electronic games, henceforth the pizza parlor...and it's been pouring down rain since this afternoon. Have you guys heard of "Essential Enzymes..by Bio Align..they are $35 at any GNC store. Your suppose to take it before you go out..But it's made to break down protein, break down fat, break down carbohydrates, break down fiber and break down milk sugar. Says to use with anything high in protein..like an steak,(meat)...eggs...cheese or high in fats (desserts)... I was directed to them after having my gall bladder was taken out some years ago...it's sold as an digestive aide.They tell you it's not for taking every meal......just now and then.

Syd..I did that...we had built in an second long closet in our master bedroom...I took the mirrored doors off and have two side by side dresser drawers and on top of them...on one side an electric fireplace heater...good one with an realistic buring fire...and on the other side an TV/DVD player. All in an nice dark mahogany brown. It wasn't that expenisve...has that "built in" look. Some ideas I've seen lately that I thought were worth it...up out of the floor raising pool table, lighted lounge/bar type table wrapped around an livingroom/dining room wall....glows softly like amber marble with brown streaks in it....lighted soft floor lights under the bottom kitchen cabinets, one other one, can't think of it now..but I think I mentioned it an couple of postings back. A lot of charm for the money spent. My brother brought me over an regulation sized pool table one time...only place it would fit was the garage. they take up an tremedous amount of room. We eventually let it go...pool is something you play and get tired of most the time. I think they are nice in motel lobbies and recreation rooms though..or Libraries...if you have room to spare or am an real geek about playing pool. . So I really liked this raising up from the floor idea .Anxious to see how they do in "Design Star" this week on the kitchens. I wish I had an upgraded jaccuzi as ours is pretty old now. but he had the pool table, and I had the jazucci at one time. I guess I should get going for now. I did manage to get my outside deck small Table BBQ though..my favorite...chicken teriyaki kabobs..thin meat and an good nightly TV show/movie. Esp in the summer time late at night. Goes good with an glass of wine...watch the stars twinkle. You have no idea how many people live in their houses day after day and think little of their own comfort, which you should look around, you can do things ususally for scads less.... then hiring someone...with an traditional thought of how things must be done..bcause that's the way everyone does it...not the way most comfortable for the occupants. Like my freind...she didnt' want an little "chute" opening for an fireplace...when they made hers, they went the whole wall practically and used 4 foot pieces to heat the room instead of little chunks of cut firewood. She wasn't there to constantly have to re-load the thing. But she had to custom make much of it herself. They started with the bed of an old little Datsun, pick up and went south of town and picked up her own rocks for the surround in it at Goat Mountain. Guy came out and weided three flat panels in the u-shape for the back of it...they put an fire. arrester chimey in it and she heated that house through winter with hardly any electric bill...her living room/dinningroom was some like 30 by 60 feet. She also had an small wood stove in the corner of her kitchen dining room and the heat from it went into her kitchen as well as her "country dining room". She liked to make quilts...so she literally installed along one of her rock walls...an beam stood out from the wall, that she could hang on the ones she liked and it was easy to change them from time to time also....the beam held the weight better then an store bought quilt hanger also. She said to me one time...you like something, do it.

I best get going for now. Good to see you back Syd.  

Hi to all POEsters...

Got any good bank scams going anywhere, something where we can manipulate the rabble, take their money, cause no end of heartache, but hey lets not worry 'ole boy'.

Got another Bollinger there? Oh bang on ole boy, lets crack it open now and have another wonderful weekend with our roast beef dinner!

Thinking about it, why don't we all go rob a bank? No guns, no rough stuff we just arrive in our millions and tell them we are taking the money, wonder how long we would last?

That is exactly what happened at an local grocery store recently out here in Troutdale.., an mob of 30 guys showed up and ransacked the place...to keep it operating. You could tell thier intentions because not an one of them walked out the store with anything in thier hands to be charged for stealing. Instead they took the most expenisve stuff in the place, such as apples, fresh fruit and used them for bowling balls, down the isles..hit the bags of potato chips, so they opened up...left them though..didnt' eat any of them. they know the store... if they can't sell the food because of to high prices... will recover from the groceries as an "loss"...wonder if they had an freind there they were trying to help keep her job...if not the store "Open" for business.  By the time they left the store and caught an bus on the corner..not a one of them had anything in thier hands from the store itself. So they couldn't be held on robbery charges. the entire thing was video taped..they knew it. they crowded around each other so it was hard to even see an particular individual to prosecute also .Believe me this helps the store more then you'll ever know.... if they can't make thier sales quota's. Just an weird way to say...we care. (local Albertson's store)

Good morning...having my morning coffee...yep, getting off the potassium has made all the difference in the world for me. I despartely need to lose some weight though...I can tell how bogged down I feel having gained the weight I have recently....so guess I'll go work at that an bit  daily. Skies are clearing somewhat...talk to you all later on.

Ron...my 3,000 year old chinese medical book....Bananas(fruit)......Helps (unripe) diareaha, but also dysentry, cough, lung bleeding,  infants and children, nerves, alcoholism, protects against strokes, hypertension, heart disorders, high in potassium, viatmin c and carboydrates. Do not drink liquids for one hour after eating. Not to be eaten with milk or yogurt either.  Nor with fever, edema, vomiting, or cough with mucus.

My other book on strokes...diet...eat 5 or more servings of veggies or fruit daily....preferably at meal time...eat fish once an week, avoid salty foods, if you have an stroke and recover..Viatmin C doseage should be under an physician care....avoid alpha-lipoic acid. Adult men and women of all ages are less likely to have an stroke if they have diets that provide an large amount of Folic Acid.  Consume lower amounts of potassium. People whom consumed beans, peas, soy or other legumes 4 times a week, were 11 per cent less likely to have an stroke. Consuming more then 6,500 milligrams of salt per day corresponded to an 32 per cent increased risk of  having an stroke and 89 per cent risk of dying from an stroke. Over the same period, men and women who consumed fruits and vegetables more then 3 times an day...were 27 per cent less likley to have an stroke and 42 per cent less likely to die from an stroke..and 24 per cent less likley to die of an heart attack. Researchers at Bingham, Women's Hospital, and Harvared Medical School found women that consumed the highest fiber were 35 per less likley to have an stroke and 54 per cent less likley to have an heart attack. The Farmington  Study, administered at Harvard, found men enjoyed roughly an 15 per cent reduction of cardiovascular disease for every 100 calories reduction of total fats in thier diets. Eating fish more then once an week, helped reducing by half an risk of stroke in women 45-74 years old. ..men by 15 per cent. After an stroke maintaining high levels of antioxidents is very important. Vitamin C is important to reestablishing the flexibilty of the blood vessels and restoring normal circulation...and helping to protect against free radicals in the brain itself....but should be supervised by an physician.

An aneurysm is an ballooning or "blow-out" of an artery due to weaking of an blood vessel wall. They may be caused by an birth defect, or generic disorder, but are more commonly and complication of atherosclerosis. Preventive measures can include Copper, no more then one millgram daily. Any antixidant formula conting beta-carotene, and vitamins C and E., amoung other antixidants , use as directed on the label. Don't over do the vitamins. Atherosclerosis is the smae as hardening of the arteries. They say useage to live oil only in th diet fro cooking is esstential. Vitaman E to 800 Iu per day, and Red yeast rice ..Cholestin.... as directed on the label can help. These latter three are an alternative to "statin" drugs. An mediterean diet using olive oil alone showed an 76 per cent reduction of  typical symptoms after an 27 month old study. No clinical study has found any other diet to protect more against death from heart attack, then using olive oil, fresh fruits, fish and vegetables as in the Mediteranenan diet. Co-Q 10 can help also  if your taking statins or the Red Yeast Rice(same thing as an naturally occuring form of lovastatin(Mevacor)..and commonly prescribed choldestrol reducing medication. Statins interfer with the bodies natural to produce both Co-Q 10 and cholestrol....they also recommend folic acid for lowering Homocystein levels...whcih reduces inflamation of the of the arterial wall. German physicisans recommend using Garlic....though no study as yet ahs shown it's beneifts..other then perhaps teh oxidation of ldl cholestrol. Transandental mediation was also shown to lower blood pressure...there are programs designed in this type of therapy you can buy on DVD's...can also help with stress.. If your an type 2 diabetic...insulin in as little as3 months also opens up the blood flow through arteries....though otherwise the use of insulin has many drawbacks to it. Untreated gum disease can increases atheroscierous by 50 to 100 per cent....so take care of your mouth and dental problems. Smokers benefit from both vitamins C and E also. An Hepa filter in the house if you live in the city can help. That about does for the adice this week..most of it's things you don't already know most likely. Except this book caontains the reserach studies done on the subject for the healing and preventive care. 

Now I go and not bother all of you for the day.....have an good one

Sorry there were so many mispells...apparently quite an few people wanted to read the text?...cause I watched it.... and corrected my mistakes as I was writing the article. If there are any questions let me know..but this should about be  it for helping anna;s parents in my books I have ..20 per cent out of pocket expenses of an 3.month supply of my statin is $100.. I have two other prescriptions on top of that one also. So finding an way to help with an alternative is an great way to help the budget these days. Not to mention I worry constantly about not having access to them in the case of an ntaional emergency of some kind that keeps going on here lately one right after another seemingly. Red yeast rice has an lot of other drugs it's not particualry compatible with..if you know them... then it can be used with good health.If you don't ask me.  My sister-in-law "Ruby" was on Lipitor...and it says of this statin...Magnesium or any product containing it should not be used with this drug within 2 hours of taking it..it depletes Co-Q 10, and increases Vitamin A...and you should have your doctor monitor it  to prevent toxicity. You ever seen that in the TV ads promoting it?..I don't.

Hi everyone!  Back again!! Hope for longer this time!

Hope you are all having a great weekend  

Hi CathyML. Been watching the Spain v Italy un-match lol

Trust you are feeling better?
