Hard Times Can Mean Good Times
Inflation & deflation means that folks will no longer be playing the possession game and using their possessions as weapons against each other. Once they stop defining themselves by their possessions, they will be free to define themselves by their ideas, values and beliefs. When they no longer need to impress each other by what they own, they then can be impressive by who they are and what they can do. Families and communities may come together again instead of each person sitting alone as a consumer of the latest in electronic gadgetry. Conversation may become the norm again with more things springing up for the open discussion of ideas and debate. If this happens, intellect and creativity will flourish. So you see I kind of think that everything happens for a reason. So make some changes in your life and move on. Simple as that. Talk Soon
Goverments Here And There
Here is something that is going on today in the U.S.A. But you know,we got lots of things happening right here in Canada too, like that, just done a bit more sneaky.
The Commonwealth Fund, a health policy research group that represents the interests of health insurance companies, has proposed a sweeping new program that — surprise! — would require all Americans to buy health insurance.
Leave it to Big Government to punish people who take care of their own health and opt not to participate in a pill-pushing, scientifically corrupted Big Pharma health care system, that only enriches insurance companies and drug companies while ignoring the real causes of disease. Kind of makes one think huh? Well….. I thought it was interesting. sheesh LOL Talk Soon
Humor, Pretty Smart Young Feller
Robert, who was 6 years old, was looking at the red ripe tomatoes growing in Farmer White’s garden. ‘I’ll give you my two pennies for that tomato,’ said Robert pointing to a beautiful, large, ripe fruit hanging on the vine.
‘No, I can’t do that,’ replied Farmer White, ‘I can get a dime for a tomato like that one.’
So Robert pointed to a smaller green tomato, ‘Will you take two pennies for that one?’
‘Oh, yes,’ answered the farmer, ‘I’ll give you that one for two cents.’
‘OK,’ said Robert smiling, sealing the deal by putting the coins in the Farmer White’s hand, ‘I’ll collect it in a week’s time.’

Organic Gardening??
Organic gardening refers to growing fruits, vegetables, seeds, or grains using only natural means. In other words, no pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or other poisonous chemicals or fertilizers are used in the process of growing food. Instead, the soil is tilled and prepared using gathered mulch, composted manure or food and leaf remains. Also, the plants are sprouted and grown with the aid of sun, water, minerals from compost, companion planting, and your own loving touch. Organically-raised produce is harvested and eaten with the confidence that it is grown naturally and poison-free. So there you go now you know what Organic is all about and don’t forget my new gardening book which is coming out this spring. For ordering just leave me a message here on this blog in a comment I will get back at you that is if you let me know where to reach ya. Talk Soon.
Raw Dark Chocholate (Coco) Good For Ya
Raw chocolate is an almost complete foodstuff. It is loaded with more than 300 chemically identifiable compounds, and is higher in anti-oxidants than green tea and wine. It also contains protein, fats, calcium, iron, carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, and magnesium, which is essential for the correct functioning of the brain. Cacao contains caffeine, which means that a raw chocolate drink or desert will give you a similar kick to that of coffee, but in a healthier and raw way. Myself I have a hot coco a couple times a week, just because I can LOL Talk Soon.

Hospital Treatements Could Make You Sicker
Hundreds of thousands of people go to hospital emergency rooms each year due to adverse reactions to prescription drugs. Many of them are so sick from medication-produced problems, they are admitted for a hospital stay. And then what happens? A high number of those who are hospitalized are given more drugs that also cause adverse — and sometimes deadly — reactions. So boils down to this. Eat, right. Don’t take prescription med unless there is no alternative, then make darn sure you even need them. Do the resurch yourself. Ask Questions then sleep on it and make up your own mind. Simple as that. Good way to help staying healthy is get outside in the sunshine, get down on your knees and get to planting your own garden. Makes for one healthy body. My way of lookin’ at things.
PSA Test For Men
Most men over age 75 can safely discontinue screening for prostate cancer with the PSA blood test, although such screening may still benefit some older men, U.S. researchers said on Friday.
Use of the prostate-specific antigen blood test to screen for prostate cancer in elderly men has been controversial. A panel of experts called the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force last year urged doctors to stop screening men 75 and older.
The new findings involved 849 U.S. men taking part in a study of aging run by the National Institutes of Health.
For men over 75, not one died of prostate cancer if they had a PSA reading below 3 nanograms per milliliter. That represents at least two thirds of the population.
Because PSA screening has led to a big increase in prostate cancer diagnoses, some experts believe many men with tumors that pose little threat are getting treatment such as surgery and radiation that may be unnecessary.
Flower Power Hmmm Good
People have been eating flowers almost since the beginning of recorded time. Who knows what prompted the first floral snack? It could be that the flower looked so tasty somebody tried eating them. Some of the flowers that are good to eat would be: Dandilion top of the list. I like to get then when they first come out in the spring. Nasturtiums have a peppery taste. The most important consideration in the use of flowers as edibles is to know your source. Flowers you grow yourself are probably the safest. You know they don’t contain pesticides. Never eat flowers purchased from a florist as they have many unhealthy additives.
Flowers are best when picked and prepared within a few hours of eating. In most cases only the petals are used.
Four Foods For Good Health

These foods are: Beans, Blueberries, Walnuts, Omega 3 or fish. So just another reason to eat right and make some lifey style changes. Like getting outside more and either growing your own veggies or buying only organic. SImple as that.
Couple Jokes For Today Keeps Me Smiling
Signs that you've had TOO MUCH Computing You try to enter your password on the microwave. You email your son in his room to tell him that dinner is ready, and he emails you back, "What's for dinner dad?"
Bailout Money Isn’t Free
The point in all this is that bailout money isn’t free. Somebody foots the bill. And that brings up an important question: Should we actually be giving MORE money to all the people who are best at LOSING money? Because that’s what the bailout efforts have accomplished so far.
It seems that it would make more sense to give money to people who know how to PROTECT money; who can invest it and use it to grow businesses and create real jobs (rather than fictitious government jobs paid for by wealth confiscation). Then again, it probably makes the most sense to just avoid bailouts altogether and stop confiscating all this money from people in the first place.
Do not fall for the fallacy that bailout money is free. Someone pays. And if you’re working for a living, the sad truth is that ultimately YOU pay.
It is my belief that no nation can survive the financial ignorance of its people.
Prescription Drugs
When observing the state of modern medicine and the unprecedented influence of pharmaceuticals, an interesting paradox arises. The drug companies claim that pharmaceuticals can do wonders for people: lower their cholesterol, end clinical depression, reverse osteoporosis, eliminate allergies, calm your children and many other similar promises. But if prescription drugs are so good for people, where are all the healthy medicated customers?
There aren’t any to speak of. There’s nobody taking twelve prescriptions who has a clean bill of health. In fact, the more prescriptions a person takes, the worse their overall health. And if you approach the healthiest people that you can find like a farmer and ask what prescription drugs they’re taking in order to be so healthy, they’ll give you a rather confused look: they don’t take prescription drugs!.
