Welcome back!

Recently our church had some question over a water pipe.

I found out that the pipe that was in the ground was not the correct type. It was a flex pipe, not metal hose, not PVC, not any type of approved pipe that can be used for water.

I realize that for things like gas, and oil, you have to use a special type of pipe for safety’s sake. Little did I know that even for a pipe in the ground for watering your yard, or your livestock, it also has to be a certain type that is approved by the local building inspector.

Live another day and learn something new. That’s life.

At least that is what my husband says when he hears about Hondas.

Then we find out that there are Honda lawn mowers, too. I wonder if they sound anything like the motorcycles? Those bikes do sound rather nice, unless you like a lot of noise.

Many bikers believe that the noise of a bike helps the average motorist to notice that the bike is there, and then won’t run the bike and its rider over.

Just being aware of what is going on around you should do that, also stay off the cell phone! That would also help.

While snacking as you watch your sports events, you should make sure that you do not get out of balance with the vitamins and nutrients in your diet.

Some amino acids help with one thing or another in the maintenance of you body. There are others like acetyl l carnitine that may help with Alzheimer’s, nerve pain from Diabetes or other diseases.

What ever you do, you diet changes your body according to what you take in. I am a Diabetic, so I have had to learn about that from trial and error. Too much starch or sugar, and my blood sugar goes up. Too little, and my blood sugar goes down. Either extreme can be dangerous.

My mother-in-law is in kidney failure from uncontrolled diabetes. She really has to tow the line when it comes to food now. So, no matter what it is that you do,think about what you want to happen later on in life.

Have you ever noticed how different people in different parts of the country have a very distinctive way of talking?

Each part of our country (USA) can almost have its own unique language. Now, if you put those circumstances into effect for other countries, it is no wonder that people do not always understand what someone is talking about when they compare notes.

When I was back in high school (no, I will not tell anyone how long ago that was), I used to take the city bus to get to and from where I needed to go. I heard two men talking and getting louder and louder. One was obviously from the Bronx, the other was a deep south Cajun. They were both speaking English, but could not understand one another. I ended up translating for both of them. My bus came and I wondered what had happened.

Speaking English is no guarantee that you will communicate with others without errors.

Put in your mind all the difficulties that come about when you add in the variances from other languages in addition to the variations that happen in English.

Now, do you wonder why there are wars? No worries mate. HUHN

There is a silent killer among us.

Those with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other illnesses, should be made aware.

Strokes are not always easily seen, or recognized. There is a website that talks about strokes and some of the warning signs.

http://www.strokeinfo.org/?gclid=CJ7Lsef4raMCFZNg2godGXOtdQ

This is a link to the site. Please read about the warning signs, and then be aware of yourself, your family, and your friends. Don’t let this killer hurt any more unnecessarily.

I am not talking gibberish here.

Finger speak is another name for the deaf alphabet. I know that American Sign Language is made of gestures that will create sentences. Using finger speak or Finger Spelling , there are only 26 gestures to learn. Each gesture represents a letter in the alphabet. This will work for many English speaking people, if you know how to spell the words in other languages like German, French, and so on, it can help there too.

I do not know any of the gestures in ASL, except for the one that says I love you. You use your hand - hold out your thumb, pointer finger, and your little finger. It almost looks like the gesture that is used by surfers.

If you are ever in a place where you do not understand what people are saying, you can understand how lonely that can be for someone who is deaf. You never know, it might come in handy someday.

This organization is otherwise known as B.A.C.A.

This members try to help children, and make child abuse disappear.

It is a worthy group that does a sadly necessary job. Here is a link to a site that explains what the group does, and how it tries to help.

Bikers Against Child Abuse

If you know any one in need, do not be afraid to put them in contact with these people. Bikers do care about kids.

UPDATE

We were contacted by one of the officers of a local B.A.C.A. group. The vest has been turned over to them and they will track down the proper owner.

While I am talking about this group, our ministry came across a vest that belongs to one of those riders. The name on the Vest is ‘Catcher’. If you know this person, you can contact us through this blog and leave a comment.

It seems that everywhere that I look, these days, I find diets.

Diets are mentioned on TV, magazines, the internet, and a lot of other places. Even lipozene reviews, can be found.

Just today one of the diets has found itself in trouble with health problems being the main trouble. Any time that you go on a diet, you should use common sense and not go to extremes. I would love to find a pill that would help me to lose weight without any exercise because of the Arthritis that bugs me. I now have a new pain pill, it helps, but I am sleepy all the time.

So, remember go on a diet, but check it out first.

Yes, I did spell that correctly. The word spirometer stands for a medical device that is used for those with breathing problems like COPD. It somehow measures your breath and with associated tests the doctor can tell about what your lung power is like.

I have seen some of the things used for testing sleep apnea, even though I had no idea what the different things did. It is amazing what medical science can come up with to take care of humans. I saw an ad in the waiting room while mom waited for her doctor to see her. Some magazines had pictures, some recipes, some were nothing but words, but this one word caught my attention. I at first wondered if I was reading it correctly. I was, but I still do not quite understand what it was that I was reading about. Of course, I am not a doctor, just nosy after all.

Well, the running around has not yet stopped. I am feeling better since I started to take the new pain medication.

Now, if I can learn how to be more awake when I first get up in the morning, everything will be better. I feel like giving my doctor apersonalized gift as a way to say thank you for his help. I realize that he gets paid anyway, but at least he listens when we talk about what is going on, and how we feel.

One of our friends has a problem with continuous pain and has tried a lot of different drugs to get relief. I wonder if she was told about this one?
