My First Time Volunteering In a Political Event
Today I volunteered at campaign headquarters for Patricia Sullivan in Florida's 8th district. I decided to volunteer because I met Patrica and her husband in the local Costco and liked them. I was even more impressed at our training session. Patricia refused, even in the safety of her own headquarters, to belittle or besmirch her opponents, and insisted that we do the same. Talk about your clean campaigner!
She is intelligent and ethical. I believe we have a truly ethical person here. I have no qualms that she will be able to do the job of congress person with distinction. She is more interested in serving her constituents than in serving the party or the political establishment. Or as she says, she is a patriot not a politician.
This is a truly grass roots candidate and campaign. Of the 25 of us there for training, only 2 had ever worked on any kind of political campaign or project before. Three of us can't even vote for her, because we aren't in her district! But I think (as do the other two people) that is important that we get as many real people, people who are patriots, not politicans in Washington. Getting people like her in will help us all. Since I can't go home to help in my district, I will help her here.

A bitter sweetener.
I will admit to occationally listening to the radio show Coast to Coast as I drift off to sleep. I will not, however, admitt to being part of the tin foil hat gang. Still, on the few times I have heard it, some of the less exotic segments do give you something to think about. Take for instance the one that was on the other night featuring Dr. Betty Martini. It was about aspertame.
Now I would assume that most US citizens have at least heard of the documentary Sweet Deception, and know there is some difference about artificial sweeteners' saftey. But if one-half of what is on Dr. Martini's web site is accurate, we are in serious trouble. I am sure the FDA would say that the MDs opposing aspartame are alarmists. Problem is, too many of them are reputable, and do research, or are close to those who do. They are all saying the same thing, and they have documentation to back them up. The FDA just has name calling.
Some times I think I am going nuts. This organization is supposed to keep unsafe additives out of our food supply, yet they are in the pockets of Monsanto and others. The corruption in my government makes me sad; but it also makes me as mad as hell! Who do these amoral, puissant, money grubbing, sell-outs think they are? It is time for a total house cleaning of our government, and I think we may be on the edge of needing an out and out revolution. God I hope not! I really don't want war, and the havoc and devastation that comes with it. I just think the apathy of decades, the good 'ole boy system adopted by the hippies not in office may be too entrenched to take care of it any other way.
God help our country! He is the only one who can now, because we have destroyed it.

My Knee pain is gone!
OK, OK, I went to a neighbors to have a network marketing meeting. I was not interested at all. Then they started talking about the product, MonaVie. Now I am familiar with Thai-Go, from Nature's Sunshine, and love it. So I really wasn't interested. But for some reason I tried it.
A few days later I was reading and realized it was raining. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was raining, and I hadn't felt it coming! In my entire life, I have never been pain free during rain. My parents could predict the weather with my aching knees when I as 2. When the shock wore off, I shrugged it off and thought I would wait until the next cold rain to believe it. We got that cold rain, and I didn't know it was coming.
Just to check it out, I changed drinks, and my arthritis was back with a vengeance. I have had rheumatoid arthritis in my knees since I was an infant. Early on, I found out that if I practiced yoga, and did flexibility exercises, I didn't hurt as much. I tried natural remedies, but nothing ever made a big enough dent to justify continuing on the programs. Apparently the glucosamine is highly bio-available, and so I was able to use it. Although it may have been the combination of the glucosamine and anti-oxidant properties. I don't care, it worked.
The only other time I ever heard of anything close to curing arthritis was my college room mate. She had a relative send her to Japan for her severe and debilitating arthritis. She took plenty of herbs, and excercised in a large dry freezer. The freezer room was so cold, you had to build up to optimal time in it. Well, this is the next best thing. You don't have to go Asia, drink nasty tasting herbs, or go into a room that is so cold.
I believe in this drink so much, I signed up to sell it and offer distributorships. Just go to this site if you are interested. http://healthghemm.mymonavie.com/
Have a happy healthy day! I know mine are healthier.

My Arms still fee empty
The little girl caught my eye immediately. There were other little girls there, but this one I honed in on with directness and fervor. Two women started talking to her grandfather about her age.
"Of course she is two!" I thought to myself.
It has been seven years since I lost my daughters in a house fire, but I still zero in on two and four year old girls. They draw me in with a hypnotic and devastating singleness. How do I know? It doesn't matter that they are large or small for their age, or what their maturity level is. I know. I suppose that is natural since Gwendolyn was four and Margaret was two.
The depression is still hard to fight after seeing a little girl of their age, and being smacked with the realization that they are forever etched in my mind as infants. I wonder often what they would be like if they were still alive. Would Gwendolyn still be the little lady who loved life and was always just so pleased with herself and everything that happened to her? Would Margaret still love the color blue, and still be the better dancer who watched and waited until she was ready to dance?
So many questions unanswered and poignantly waiting in silence, never to be answered in this life.When, I wonder will my arms stop feeling so empty?

Another surprise!
Here is another sign warning us about bombs and radiation! Like the tree line was a safe wall to keep the radiation in. They surely would have had to have anything that emitted radiation far enough away to not be a hazard at the road. But they did warn to stay out because of live bombs.
Big Surpise!
We came up on some signs that surprised us, and gaves us a few minuets worry. We hope we were over the magical line.
Drive through Ocala National Forest
Theses pictures are backward to the way we uploaded them. Oh well! Live and learn.
These three picts are a panoramic view of one of the lakes in the forest. There was a nice picnic and parking area, and a in one of them you can see the drag marks from the boats.
This is where the people put the boats in the water. Bob was watching the area while I took this pic, because he thought it might have been a gator drag mark. When he saw a little oil floating, he came to the conclusion it was a boat launch area.
This was on the way into Ocala National Forest. See the pink dirt road. The main road through the forest was paved, but it was a highway. All access roads off of the main one into the forest were dirt.One thing that really caught our attention at this site was the fact that all of the growth was the same height. I am guessing a hurricane took out the old growth, and this new growth was as a result of that devastation. It looked like a 3-5 year growth.

Brilliant founder Quote of the Day
- Elbridge Gerry
"What, sir, is the use of militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty. . . Whenever Government means to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise a standing army upon its ruins." --

Our weight adventure
Bob got under his plateau yesterday. He is doing well, but cheated a little yesterday and didn't loose anything. He is 3lbs under his the weight he has not been able to break
We are using HCG. It was discovered by Dr. Simmeons in the 40s and it is a hormone. It is called HCG for short; the full name being Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. But I will get into that later on.
He discovered there are three kinds of fat. Structural fat, the kind that protects your body, like the fat around your kidneys. It is also like a packing fat. It is, in Dr. Simmeons' words, "stuffed in around your organs." The second type of fat, is a reserve fat used for fuel. It is just what it sounds like. You store and use this fat when you need it. Our ancestors had this kind of fat stored up from the times of plenty for the lean times.
Now, he also discovered a third kind of fat on obese patients. This kind of fat was "abnormal" in his words. True, it was a potential reserve of fuel for the body, but it was locked away and unavailable. When they tried to loose, they burned the second kind of fat first, then structural, and lastly the abnormal fat.
If I understand Dr. Simmeons in conjunction with modern findings, I understand why it becomes harder to lose weight each time you diet. You lower your ability to metabolize, and make the lock to the abnormal fat harder to pick, so to speak. Part of the problem is the structural fat has been shown to be a fuel burning fat. In other words, the structural fat burns fat. Each time you diet, you lose some of that fat. Now your body believes it is in dire need of that abnormal fat.
So how do you make your body burn that fat? Enter HCG. It is a hormone your body produces when you are pregnant to make you burn fuel fat first. That is why when I had 24 hour a day morning sickness for 6+months, I lost weight, and had a healthy baby 3 times. The only difference is the homeopathic dose we are taking is much lower than what my body would produce. It is also great for naturally tightening the skin. No loose crepe paper skin after HCG.
I am giving Bob a few more days before we start posting his weight and pictures, and a couple of weeks for me. I will be restarting the process tomorrow.

I want a job like the Washington Elites
I was watching Beck, and had an epiphany. I keep seeing the same names on the boards of these big foundations. Valerie Jarod, Bill Ayers, Franklin Raines, Barak Obama, and other. I keep seeing them over and over again. Now how can you be on the board of The Tides Foundation, The Chicago Climate Exchange, ACORN, The Joyce Foundation and others, and have a job on top of this, if they are legitimate jobs?
Can I please have one of those jobs? Just one job that I only have to show up periodically for a few hours and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the show up? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?
No wonder there is such a disconnect from mainstream America by those "leaders" or as I say "bullies". These people all have their buddies filling all of their jobs and are all washing each others backs; laughing all the way to the bank. Then they get up on their platforms and say how much they are for the working class. Yeah, right.

Funny little rap.
I was looking for something else, and saw this on Beck's site. It was too funny to pass up.
