The events up in Washington the last few days have been nothing short of breathtaking. The realization that the Constitution no longer protects us from our own elected officials should send shockwaves of fear throughout this land. We are once again on the exact same path that led to the Civil War, Federal power unchecked…
Read moreLessons learned on my back
Not that – get your mind out of the gutter people! This week has given me plenty of time to think about my life and more importantly the person I am when pressed. It has been good, unwelcome, but a good experience none the less as I have discovered there is way too much left for me to accomplish this side…

Today is day one of a ten to forty day detox. I am doing the Master Cleanser or Lemonade Diet and it really isn’t a diet as much as it is a detox, but saying detox confuses people, so I will call it a diet. Here is a good video I found that explains the detox: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xurxavBqAjc]…

Read moreLegumes should be left in the ground
I live in peanut country. They have many other names like goober pea, monkey nut, groundnut, and earthnut. I call them “eat me and have the worst night sleep of your life.” I have been acutely aware that goobers and I have not been getting along lately, but confirmed last night the monkey nut wants…
Read moreTurkey – the other dumb meat.
These things just beg to be eaten. Anything that ugly, that stupid, and with that much tasty meat can only have been designed for one purpose. Digestion. It looks like the head on these hideous creatures has already been partially chewed just to bring home the point. They are so completely divorced from intelligence, eating…
Read moreMeet my new best friend Midrin
Actually, it is my wife’s Midrin, but she likes to share. She has suffered with migraines for a long time, and these little beauties don’t work for her. To my benefit, they work for me! They work so well in fact, I think I could become addicted to the way I feel when taking them….
Read moreDetox – or, Squirrels in my BOWELS
My sister is going through a detox and I guess we must be on the same schedule. This is my second “plumbing” detox, and this time around I opted for the $7.00 version from Target. The first one I used was a product from Dr. Schulze’s for $60.00 plus $9.00 shipping. I have never crapped…
