I want to ride to live, and live to ride!

Don't get sick!!!

Grayson is a boob, but he had a point.  "Don't get sick" is good advise.  Especially after you look at the risks from medicines, and hospital infections.  Did you know that correctly prescribed and taken meds when combined with incorrectly prescribed or taken meds are like the 4th or 5th leading cause of death?  When separated, they are like 7th or 8th.  Still pretty scary!!

Well I found a solution.  Did you ever hear of Wellmune?  It is a neat little thing invented by the folks over at Monavie.  It is in their Mmun blend of juice, and tastes great!  They like to say it tastes like money with a splash of citrus.  Not only does it taste good, but it is good for you, and your immune system.  It has 12 patents, and 40 pending patents.  They fed this Mmun to rats and hit them with all sorts of flu viruses, colds, and other pathogens; and nothing.  The rats didn't get sick.  So someone got the bright idea to feed these rats terrorists strength Anthrax.  I know what you are thinking.  No, the rats given Mmun lived; never got the disease.  Moral of the story: Never feed rodents, or people you don't like Monavie's Mmun!  If you want to live, or feed it to people you like, go to healthghemm@mymonavie.com

Am I just imagining it, or is the price of groceries going through the roof?

So we keep hearing how there is no inflation, and we are doing OK considering.  I mean, the old folks didn't even need an increase in their measly Social Security income, right?  So why is my grocery bill going through the roof?  Even when the price didn't go up, the package got smaller.  Why?  This is the growing season locally, and I am still paying a fairly high price for what I get.  Today, for instance, I picked up milk, bread, coffee, peaches, grapes, bananas, a big sub, band aids and a pizza and salad stuff for dinner and two boxes of Little Debbie's for lunches.  It cost me $80 to walk out of the store.  We will be eating very carefully monitored portions over the next few months.  I may make the boys eat beans, well seasoned with ginger.  I just don't know how people are going to do it. 


We took one of the cars off of the insurance and parked it this week.  It will be a real crimp in the way we work the family, but I don't see another way until Bob is out of school and we are both working full time.  We are working at selling his car, as he will be getting his motorcycle back on the road this week end.  When it rains or is too cold, he will be using my car.  The way things are going, we may sell it and get a jalopy!  I am, for the first time in my life, really scared about the future.  I hope everyone else is doing better.
