Some essential facts on caffeine and a personal testimony

There are good and bad..

But for me the bad has outweighed the good when it comes to caffeine consumption. I have been clean of caffeine for about two weeks now, the worst was the first four days. I went from drinking 9 to 12 cups of coffee a day along with tea to nothing..

A part of the reason was because my heart was racing constantly, sometimes the beats per minute was shocking. I was having way too much caffeine..

I enjoyed every drop of it don’t get me wrong.. I tried to drink decaf coffee for comfort during those first trying hours, but he was switching from regular coffee to decaf knows it’s just not the same…

But now two weeks into it, I feel much better, the headaches are gone, I am never jittery, and I fall asleep much easier at night. I’m drinking decaf teas and every now and then a decaf coffee, with one little spurt of regular. But I don’t miss caffeine at this point, I am too far involved with the detox of my body to be able to start drinking again.

There may be positive benefits to caffeine, I am not denying that, but it is a drug and the benefits of the drug don’t outweigh the consequences for my personal well being.

This was one of the hardest lifestyle changes I’ve ever made..

The Louisiana Sinkhole

I am struck by the fact that national news has largely ignored the big sinkhole that developed in Louisiana this summer and has continued to grow all the way until the current time.

It began as bubbles in the Bayou down in Louisiana a few houses were rumbling, it has now turned into a sinkhole that expands and expands every day. the size of it is currently seven football fields. There are reports in Louisiana that peoples’ homes are shaking as far away as 15 to 20 miles..

And there is silence on the national news about this issue.

I would actually love to hear from someone down in the Bayou, Louisiana, brother areas that are affected by the sink hole..

please send me a message on here under the open lines link on top or email me

Are you like me..?

For your sake I hope you’re not. But if you are even slightly like me you are angry that stores are opening early for Black Friday..

It’s black Thursday. Which is Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day/night is now turning into a shopoholic wonderland. 

Even though families will still be sleeping off a big session of overeating, some in the family may have to cut the cranberries short and head for the mall to sit and watch buffoons and materialistic menaces dubbed ‘shoppers’ make for the entrances and race for good buys. While dinner plates are still being washed, some in the family will have to venture for the most dangerous place on earth: In the middle of two largeMarge type persons fighting over a sale. 

They used to have to do this on Black Friday.

This year stores are opening early. Very early. Like ………Thanksgiving evening early.

A little ridiculous in my book.

I know it’s a recession.. and the economy is woeful.. and we need money.. and companies want sales.. But not giving employees just that time to celebrate thanksgiving with family? Instead forcing them into their jobs even earlier than ever?

I say bah humbug. Of course it’s not the season yet to say that. But it’s coming quick. Thanks to stores forgetting about why Thanksgiving is a pretty darn cool day, even earlier.

CBS NEWSYORK: While most of Manhattan had its power restored about four days after Superstorm Sandy, persistent problems in some places continue to make life miserable more than two weeks later for hundreds of elderly and ill residents who have been forced to live in cold, dark high-rises. As CBS 2’s Amy Dardashtian reported, those residents were demanding answers Tuesday night. At Knickerbocker Village — a housing complex bounded by Monroe Street, Market Street, Catherine Street and Cherry Street on the Lower East Side – a hallway stunk of rotten eggs Tuesday night.

The BBC reports an amazing story: A Canadian man who was believed to have been in a vegetative state for more than a decade, has been able to tell scientists that he is not in any pain

His doctors now say the textbooks will have to be rewritten.

The amazing tale: Scott Routley, 39, was asked questions while having his brain activity scanned in an MRI machine…

It’s shame we didn’t get the textbooks re-written before the death of Terry Schiavo.
