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..

Abortion rates in the rural heartland have declined, but abortion VIA remote control has ncreased

AP reports:

DES MOINES (AP) - The number of abortions in Iowa has decreased since doctors were allowed, starting in 2008, to prescribe an abortion-inducing drug to patients in rural areas via a remote-controlled system, a study has found.

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.

The internet will provide the alternative to the government media complex that controls the news and most political propaganda. This is why it’s essential that the Internet remains free of government regulation.

So what do YOU think the punch line was?

A four star mix up.. whoever is responsible for a local news mishap caused millions of people to laugh—at the expense of the local news team.. A local news station covering the story made a mistake and used a phony book cover of Broadwell’s bio on the General. Her titled was ALL IN. the local news team used a photo of the book reading ALL UP IN MY SNATCH.

Elmo innocent! Days after Kevin Clash was accused of having a relations with an underage boy, the accuser has now recanted the story.. So Clash’s life may have been temporarily destroyed by allegations from the young man.. and now he recants that story?? Did the lawyers from SESAME STREET give him an offer he couldn’t refuse? Did Snuffy rough him up? Did Oscar take him to the can? Or did he just want to ruin the reputation of a man who sticks his hand up the rear end of a red puppet? 

Actress Keira Knightley says no one is interested in her small breasts.. But it’s certainly not stopping her from talking about them constantly and showing them to all who want to see them..

A big shocker

He took a leave of absence thought.

Strange moment

I’m sitting at Jack Williams waiting for my car to be serviced. I’m sitting near some burly bigger lumberjack looking guys. And what comes on the TV in the waiting room? The TODAY SHOW with a segment of Susan Boyle singing Abba song THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL.

Tension ensues
Such a non masculine moment!

Two burly men got up and left. The other went to the bathroom. I stuck in my chair.

What do you think? The two men jacked with uber testosterone left because they were afraid to weep?

The winner takes it all!!

And now with everyone gone I can turn on CNN!!

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
‘Neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

The myth of the presidential grays?

NBC NEWS reports something to the contrary of what Americans have always believed: That their presidents age faster than they do.

Maybe it is just wishful thinking to assume that Commanders in Chief, with all the stresses of their daily duties, will get older quicker than others. But as NBC’s Bill Briggs writes, not really:

But, internally at least, presidents don’t age any faster than other Americans – and, in fact, historically surpass average U.S. lifespans, according to a study into whether commander in chief is, literally, is a killer job.

I read this story but will ignore it. I’d rather believe that the President ages faster than me. It just makes me feel better. And younger. Until I see my own grays in the mirror piling up, that is..

More than a dozen homes damaged.. hundreds of people forced into the streets. This image is chilling. And it’s the result of a neighborhood blast in the Richmond Hill subdivision of Indianapolis.

The cause of the explosion still under investigation.  Natural gas is expected. 

Wow…

The RED CROSS is doing some damage control.. but calling their response to SUPERSTORM SANDY 'flawless' is an incredibly huge leap

Nothing is flawless.

And certainly the response had mistakes.

Did they do an impressive job given the circumstances? I suppose so. But it would depend on your ask, wouldn’t it..

The cause of the explosion and subsequent fire is still unclear. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been called in to investigate.

Damage from the explosion hit houses blocks away. Residents were evacuated to a nearby elementary school.
