Digital, Analog, Hard Copy, and Stubborn

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Just wrote something. Duh! Talk about stating the obvious, HA. If you are reading this of course you already know that more than one blog has been put down today.

In my previous blog I mentioned being a novice or beginner in blogging. Yes, I like to talk, it is pretty obvious with all that has been written by me lately. All of the digital devices that are available today can be wondrous in what they can do. However, I had a recent reminder about the fragility of such devices. In our town we had apparently, 2 tornadoes that passed through. Thank God mostly passed through. I tried to called a friend that travels on a certain highway where they had recently had an accident, couldn’t get through to make sure that he was OK. Got very frustrated (GRRRRR) did not know why I could not make a phone call. I was afraid that with all the internet stuff that I did, had gotten a virus into the phone.

Totally lost all reception couldn’t reach anyone. The camera part worked great. Got a few pictures of the big hail stones, but no phone calls. Never realized that a tornado could interfere with a cell phone. Right then would have loved a land line. Of course I didn’t know if any land lines went down though. After the storm passed, the phone worked again. A learning experience that I could have done without.

The phone was digital, any land lines are analog, I’m hard copy, and the tornado was stubborn. I survived, the phone survived, I guess the land lines survived, the tornado went away finally. Prayer does work Thank God.

Energy Drinks

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Just recently I heard on the news that a man died for drinking 4 energy drinks. I won’t say the name. The news did mention that the man had been having heart trouble.

Are there any warnings on these drinks? I mean, warnings about caffeine have appeared on some items that have appeared on the shelves in he stores. However, energy drinks seem to be innocent. I recently read an article that gave information on a different type of energy drink. This involves tea and fruits, not chemicals. The site is called A PECULIAR BLOG when I read it I remembered what I’d heard about the man who died. The site ’s URL is:

http://blog.peculiarplace.com/

Please write it down for I haven’t yet learned how to ‘link’ the URL in my own blogs. I know, I know how analog. I prefer hard copy sometimes. Very old fashioned these days, but I’m still learning. This digital age is growing sooooo fast, and I am after all just a beginner. I’m trying to learn, please be patient with me; but, that is another blog after all!:)

Food Rationing

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Watched the Tonight show with Jay Leno. I understand what he means about the ‘food’ that most Americans carry with them. I am one of them.

Lack of exercise, age , and eating habits do make a difference. Of course it is hard to exercise when things limit your activities. Pain does that. I wish that I had exercised more when I was able. Enough about that. Been looking up the ‘food shortage’ that people have been talking about. It isn’t about a lack of food so much as a lack of being able to BUY food for many people. What I don’t understand is the rationing that is being done. Doesn’t supply and demand usually also have something to do to effect the prices of things?

When things are hard to find, prices go up. The food is there; but, limiting how much that we can buy will make the price go up. That doesn’t seem “rational” with folks crying out “shortage”. The suppliers will like to get more money for their products, but creating an artificial shortage just ain’t right! Yes, many in the USA can afford to purchase food, no luxury items, just ordinary food. Why make things worse? Artificial inflation created for more profits is like cutting someones wrists so they need to get transfusions. The media doesn’t bring up that part of what is going on, just “shortage & rationing”. The extra money being made isn’t going into the pockets of the farmer who raised the food, after all many farmers are going broke. Where is the money going? Where oh where is the conscience of the business world? In their respective wallets?
