Thanks, this is so right on! We all know it's true that the quality, or lack thereof, of our foods and the use of pharmaceuticals is tremendous, but we fall for the pitch and convenience.

Frances what a *gift* that you actually got to see this little one and he even waited for you to return with the camera :-) Eloise I always believe that whatever we are suppose to have in life...we WILL :-) good luck in replacing or finding what you are looking for. Dee thank you for sharing the little grandma story lol. I know exactly what you mean. The things we do, that we would not dream of doing if it was not for or with our grandkids! Shirley sorry about the reminder. How is the walking going? Dianne how is Tommy handling his insulin treatment? Can you keep your brugs going inside until they bloomed? YES I asume for you the *winter* has arrived. :-( Marquest still do not remember your name and if you have given it away before and I am just forgetful...I am sorry. If you rather stay marquest..that is fine too. Sooner or later I have your address in my little pink sharing book also lol I LOVE your picture! Kristy don't you just hate it when you walk straight into a spiderweb with your face? That is when my patience for spiders stops lol. I keep taking down their web so long until they move someplace else. Guess you are ready for Halloween lol. A few days ago when we had the morning fog...EVERYTHING showed up so nicely. Got some really great pictures that day. Karyn there is NO WAY that sweet Kyle would do that to you ;-) I am more worried about the birthday bashes you throw rofl. I saw that too that he did not have as long as a tail as his brother or sister, right next to him. I am with you. I would not mind for the Turkey's to stroll by the house. But they take the back road. Lucy

OT: Grocery question re: food safety. Any grocers out there?
Q
Comments (11)
I was at a grocery store, one of the somewhat pricey ones, and a pear fell to the floor, bounced few times, and rolled to a stop. I picked it up, and handed it to the produce man that was stocking items. He just put it back on the display. I was dumbfounded. Germs aside, that pear was not worth selling after bouncing so many times, but he didn't seem to care. I guess fruits and onions, anything that's stacked, is likely to fall on the floor a few times. And I didn't even think about the germs the pear picked up. Of course, I always wash my produce before eating it, anyway. It never occurred to me we may need to wash our bread wrappers, too. I quit buying commercial bread a long time ago, anyway. When the expiration date is a few weeks in the future, I figure that I don't want to eat whatever they put into the bread that makes it last that long. The preservatives scare me more than the germs on the wrapper. Sally

OT: Beneful Dog Food
Q

Our 70 pound 6 y/o chocolate lab/husky mix is fed raw. Mostly chicken parts and beef meaty bones, like soup bones with some other bones like marrow for gnawing. We'll give him a breast, or a couple of thighs or about 4 drumsticks or wings if it's chicken. We just kind of eyeball it and go with what feels right. He also helps with table scraps and I'll give him a spoon of coconut oil a couple times a week... LOVES that. His teeth are gorgeous, no tartar at all. Beautiful choppers on that boy! One thing we read that seemed to make sense was that wild dogs don't get to eat everyday, they feast when they have a kill and then may go for days without eating again. Anyway, the thought was that a fast one day a week was good for them. Gotta say that Rummy (dog) is not a big fan of this idea, lol. Here he is fwiw:

OT - food disposal
Q
Comments (6)
I just did a search on how to dispose of cooking oils and got: How To Dispose of Cooking Oil The Right Way| Green Citizen. It says you can put in compost as long as you haven't cooked meat in it, also look online for places that take oil and recycle, can be put in trash as long as it's sealed well. There are even bio-degradable bags to put it in, if needed. Or you can use flour or kitty litter to absorb it before disposing in a sealed container. Lots of good info on that site. Sorry I can't link.

Ok, haven't followed the link, but I'm guessing the new KFC chicken wraps aren't going to be mentioned, huh?

I found out today that something in pineapple helps joints. Maybe thats why I felt so good in Hawaii eating all those fruits. I started my fruit diet today. Had a banana a grapefruit and a 1/4 of a fresh pineapple and chocolate cake, lol. Figure thats gotta be good for something and made 10 bean soup with chicken, and shrimp.

Kristy, you were doing good, until you had that chocolate cake, LOL! If you cut your intake of salt, that will help your joints as well.

I was just wishing you all good health.

If you think it's funny that fat rich white men who could care less about your life are siphoning money out of your pockets because you let them, then so be it. Have fun!

But, if you or someone you know would like to live a happier, healthier, more positive life, without supporting the above said people, and most likely curing heart disease and cancer and diabetes and helping the whole planet, point them to the movie.

Just trying to help.

iiiitara,
I'm sorry I made a joke on this serious topic. I really meant no disrespect.

iiitara, earlier today I went back into the website and almost ordered the dvd. I found out they are showing it in Pasadena April 26 and am considering going. Pasadena is only 16 miles away. I made a copy of the info to take to a gathering of my gardening group tomorrow. I know they will be interested. Thanks so much!

The joking was just that. We tend to be a very "happy" group, and sometimes we have gone totally off the wall! We all want to be healthier, so please don't take it as a rejection. We appreciate any info here.
