Lively Case Discussion #592 3/22 - 3/26/2007

[msmarple]

MsMarple, sorry about your back...mine is kiling me too...My Dr. put me on motrin and it really made my tummy hurt...I quit taking it because of that and now it's only my back and not my tummy that hurts    

The Rx that bothered me is an anti-inflammatory. (He also prescribed a muscle relaxer and something for pain.) However, when I started taking everything, my tummy started hurting almost as badly as my back.

The anti-inflammatory cautioned about taking only with food, which I did, but still ...

I left it off last night and this morning; that's why I'm FINALLY better today than I have been since Saturday.

Hi Anna!

So much of our food is over-processed and over-preserved.

Hope no one takes this personally - I certainly don't know what goes on in everybody's kitchen - but to me, the last straw was bagged salad. I would NEVER eat ANYTHING from the store without washing it myself.

[Anna]

MsMarple,
Glad you are feeling better and hope your back continues to improve.

I took a photo today of my bamboo.  Will email it to you or post on the panda thread and maybe monkeys can tell me if they think it is enough to bother the people at the zoo about.

And while I was trying to take the photo two huge hawks got into some sort of fight right over head.   I got a photo of one of them, too.

  A little more excitement than I was counting on having, I might add.

I had two peeping Toms last night and I had to feed them and put them up.I will attempt to be silly and uneducated,again.I heard the stuff about gvc on Greta,sm,and Rita.They said the had forensic evidence on him.CAT

Hey Cat I do not think anyone ever considered you were uneducated.  Too much wisdom and knowledge in your posts.  Your posts are fun to read.

Also it was the Pakistan cricket team's coach that died and suspected to be murdered.  The Pakistan team was staying in Jamaica.  They are a paranoid bunch about their cricket and would have given the coach a bad time when he returned to Pakistan if they lost.  It would have been bad enough to lose in a final but to be tipped out of the competition so early would be considered a national disgrace.  They burn effigies and riot over things like that.  Truly mad as it is only a sport.  Now there is talk of match fixing and other illegal activities like betting being involved so it may end up a real scandal.

Tib & Cat - Yes, sometimes Cat riddles us as much as Shango. (Holy Catman!)

Anna - You are certainly ready for the Easter Parade!

I'll be watching for the bamboo photos. Interesting to see how this turns out.

So how did the hawk fight end? Red winged? I've never seen them fight and didn't know they would in flight ...

I hear ya Bots, I'm a little phobic myself that way. I won't say NEVER but I do get heebies about Buffets and Salad Bars.  I DON'T do fast food, not because I don't like it but because IMO they generally have people working there that really don't want to be working there.
I NEVER send food back, if something ain't right, I'll just push it away and forget about it.
But that said, I do eat out regularly but agree that fixin' at home can't be beat.

[IndyDan]

Just be careful of the Soylent-Green, have heard bad things about it.

Good to see ya again Carnut

[IndyDan]

Now that's HAWT.

Never looked better!




 

Carpe you're killing me.  I'll bet the Sporter might find this one a little arousing.

[Tibrogargan]

yeah and it makes ya think...why all of a sudden in the last 5-10 years there are so many gluten intolerant people ??? Never heard of it before, nor were there really any of the effects of it widely known.

I remember reading in a health book that allergy to wheat and wheat by-products is the widest known allergy in the world.  Probably because most of the Western world eat wheat.  And because it is such a large scale industry the truth about it causing so many allergies is kept quiet.  Rice and corn are much better for us.  There are a lot of healthier substitutes like Spelt flour and so on which you can get from health food suppliers, sometimes in bulk.  
The new age people were correct - we need to go back to growing and eating our own produce but it is not possible for so many who live in cities.  And what they call fresh in most food stores have been treated with all sorts of poisons, and "nuked" as well.
Storage is a big problem, like Anna wrote.  In the warmer States products like milk never keep as long as their use-by dates.  Delivered to shops in refrigerated vans but if shop not open when the van called, they just dumped the crates of milk (in plastic or cardboard containers) on footpath outside in the sun.  Must have done it a lot of good.

Yep - and they still have it for sale even when the bags are blown up like balloons.

Why, thank you, Tibro.  I just happen to have several Easter outfits.  

I posted the photos of the Bamboo and the one hawk that did not fly away on the Panda thread in the lounge.

I think maybe that hawk is called yellow tailed?  Not sure.  Maybe a monkey will recognize and identify for us.  They were making really loud scary noises.  I grabbed the Yorkies and ran!!
