Welcome back!

Summer time, yes it is obvious. The heat where we live in Texas is incredible. Right now we are having the heat in the high 90’s to lower 100’s. My favorite temperature is around 65′ to 75′, so of course I am not a happy camper.

Of course that means that I go outside as little as possible. Add to that i am not a morning person. I have, in the past, worked the graveyard shift, and the evening shift. The morning shift was always a nightmare for me. Staying up late is no bother. Getting up early leaves me foggy all day. So, in the summertime, if possible I avoid the outdoors. I have found that popsicles are absolutely wonderful. If you’ve seen the ones that come in a plastic tube that you open at one end then squeeze out, you know the ones that I like the best. There is no dripping or messiness involved with eating one of those.

Ice cream is also good, but I still prefer those ice cold tubes of yumminess.

I have a table top computer and have been having a great time surfing the internet and blogging. I now have an anti-virus program to keep out nasty surprises designed to make things miserable.

The only thing that bugs me now is memory. I do a disk clean-up every so often, and that does happen to help. I wish that I knew which things I could eliminate from the computer memory storage, but as I have mentioned before, I am more analog than digitally inclined.

I have learned to do some things, but can’t seem to figure out others. I am not giving up, though. The way I figure it if I keep trying, sooner or later some understanding will seep into my mind and I will understand a little better.

I love candy. All types of candy. One of my favorites is the Heath candy bar.

Every time I get some, I try to make them last…….oh well.

I try to slow down how quickly that I eat them. Scraping the chocolate off of the bar completely first is the first step. Then letting the remaining toffee slowly dissolve in my mouth is the next thing. Yum. I just wish that they made a Heath bar that didn’t have any chocolate on it at all. White chocolate would probably be good also. Sometimes I just want the toffee.

I do not hate chocolate - NOT AT ALL. Sometimes, I just want the toffee.

My husband has suffered from something all of his life that his family hasn’t understood.

He has Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation.

IBS all by itself can cause cramping, bloating, gas, and pain. He has to take an assortment of different over-the-counter medicines to keep himself from getting dangerously constipated. It doesn’t seem that a simple thing like constipation can be dangerous, but think on this, John Wayne probably died from it.

I have heard that a colon cleanse can help. I don’t know about the effects of the colon cleanse medicine and all of the other medicines combined together. Currently he takes 15 different medicines for his health. The ones he takes now for his IBS are: Fiber, Milk of Magnesia, and Colace. I asked the doctor if there were any other medicines that would work, and he told me that he was concerned with the combination of medicines that he is already taking. Maybe a pharmacist would be able answer the question, but I have no idea what is in the colon cleanse item.

If you know someone who is having similar trouble with their bowels, it is NOT something to be taken lightly. Anyone who has had trouble with being constipated knows the discomfort involved. With those with IBS, the problem is sometimes constant. Relief is not only for comfort, but for health reasons. Ignoring it will not make it go away, nor will scoffing at the one who is afflicted with the troubles.

Howdy, It is the opinionated female again !!

Saw something that would be good for the techno-type of person who likes to connect with a lot of different types of things all at once. It is called a HDMI switch. As is explained it makes it possible to hook up with at least three items with high tech stuff in it. I have no idea what it does or how it does it. As I have said before, I am still having trouble with being analog in these very digital times.

The idea of connecting one high tech gadget with something is enough to give me the shivers. However, connecting three at once has got to be something for the digitally minded type of person out there. I don’t mind the techno-types, because we all need them. I just wish that I could understand what is being said sometimes.

Yup, I’m fed up with the media. First they say one person is going to win, then they say another. Since when did they become the big experts in how people vote? They don’t even listen to the average person.

Back when Truman was running against Dewy for the White House, the media was so sure it knew everything, that it had front pages printed with the banner that Dewy had won the election. History had proven them wrong of course. Again they were talking that Hilary Clinton was assured of getting the nomination. Well, we all know how that ended.

Why does the media continue to assume that they know it all? They appear to be out of touch with the average citizen in this country. They have continued to push the idea that being liberal is where most of the country is at, when most of the country is combined of a mixture of different people with each having a different point of view.

I sometimes wonder where they get their supposed polls from, because the people that I talk to do not agree with what is being quoted. I used to think that the news was facts that were being talked about. Today it is mostly opinion….theirs, not ours.

There has been a lot of debate and talk about bio-fuel and bio-diesel. One of the previous articles that I wrote had a link to a site that explains the hazards of the making of bio-diesel. Check out the Great Fuel Debate.

I just read another article on a science blog that talks about making the bio-fuels easier and without as much hazardous waste. In the post, itself, an explanation is given as to how this can be accomplished. You would think the media would pick up on this because of the brouhaha going on in the media itself.

I wish the media would figure out that not everyone wants to hear about which ‘celebrity’ is going through rehab, and instead give us news that is more important. I realize that rehab is important for those who need it. The rest of us also need to know about alternatives for daily life.

Somewhere, we each have a place where every deed we have ever done is listed. I hate to think of some of the things that would be written done there.

A young man wrote an article called ‘The Room‘ that talks about that. I have to admit it that when I read the article (which was presented by his parents) I cried. Even now thinking about what I read the tears start again. This makes me think. It should make you think, too.

Please give it a chance, read this article with an open mind. Think about the things that have been done in your life. Then think about after.

The politicians are at it again. What this time? Try gas prices at the pump.

Another site on Multiplyc.com called C.J.’s site talks about this.

What I don’t understand is that the politicians in office right now had promised to work with the rest of the government to help the country. How is making the ordinary American citizen pay more at the pump helping us? What ever happened to the ‘lofty’ goals spoken of when they were first elected? I guess the office became more important than the people who helped to put the politicians there. It would be nice if the politicians would actually think about the rest of America for a change.

Why isn’t the media screaming about this to every one? How is it that the public (you know the ones paying bills) isn’t informed of the happenings? We hear about movie people having kids and divorces - that ain’t news. Congress hiking the gas tax is news
