Hey George, What do you have to say on this comment?
The Ontario government is coming to the rescue of pensioners of Nortel Networks Corp., one year after the iconic Canadian telecom-equipment maker sought court protection from its creditors.
Hmm I kind of think that this comment in today’s news should have said. Tax payers dollars are being taken by the Ontario Government and given to Nortel. Just amazes me the kind of society we live in today. Meaning that governments think all the money that they manipulate through taxes and things belongs to them, and them alone. They feel they can just do what ever they so choose with it. Things is though, they are doing just that, and have been getting away with it from the beginning of time. Myself I think we should take a step back about a hundred years, take in what went wrong, get rid of governments and start over. Another problem is that these so called Powers That Be, have gotten folks minds so twisted, that a lot of the people of today really believe what is happening is the right way to go. Not only governments though that is messing things up, there are a lot of others contributing to our downfall too, all connected though. Amazing.
Some things sure get me going, must come with age, you think? Had my say guess , will go and have a tea. My Opinion Only
Hi George, what do you think is the answer to our prescription drug problem and if you might, how did it all start?
For years now I have been pointing out to folks about the abuse of prescription drugs. I gotta’ tell ya, I believe that today it isn’t about what drugs are being given to folks that are sick, in making them better. It’s all about folks making money. Today more prescription drugs are being used than ever before. Let me tell you a story. Years ago the farmers got to thinking that they needed some help with pests on their crops and things. Well the pharmaceutical companies seen a way here of making some money and went ahead and came up with pesticides. Seemed there for awhile that a miracle had occurred and the problems were being solved. Later on sickness started to spring up all over the continent. What is happening some got to saying?? Well what happened was, an is still happening today, is that all these pesticides and things were and are now slowly making us humans sicker and sicker and sicker. Now with that in mind the pharmaceutical companies now come along and say hey, we can make some drugs here that will help folks and make them well again. Nothing wrong with that I suppose, but one should remember that there is an easier way of fixing ones health than handing out drugs. What is that? Simple, stop using all these pesticides and clean up our water, air and soil. Saying that, we have to start somewhere and you the public are the only ones that can make it happen. We can change things, we have to take back the reigns and not let these so called Powers That Be tell us what is right and wrong any more. My Opinion Only
Now I don’t know about you folks, but take a look at this fellows set up for taking a shower, saving electricity and not having to do much physical work turning the light on. I would have to say it is a pretty good idea other than the safety factor here. I also would like to mention, which I am sure you are aware of, right? That not to try it yourself, for numerous reasons. But hey it takes all kinds to make this old world and this picture does show you that. At any rate, a little humour for a Saturday morning..

Lovers of snow, sleet and freezing temperatures, rejoice: according to Ontario’s best-known groundhog and his U.S. and Atlantic Canada counterparts, winter will stick around for six more weeks.
“My shadow I see beside me,” it was read. “Six more weeks of winter it will be!”
If no shadow was s seen, legend says, spring will come early.
Oh well what can you do. Can’t argue with Mother Nature. Guess I will go and bring in a bit more firewood.
All commercially-made Mayo is completely safe.
“It doesn’t even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it’s not really necessary.” The pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. What about the quint essential picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.
When food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the ‘victim’ last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). It’s not the mayonnaise (as long as it’s not home made Mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It’s probably the onions, and if not the onions, it’s the POTATOES. Onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions.
You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion. It’s not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator. It’s already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hot-dogs at the baseball park!)
Finally, if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you’ll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put it on your sandwich, you’re asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist
potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.
So, how’s that for news?
