Odds and ends

I woke up this morning and it was like 69F. Yeah, yeah, I know, colder climates, blah, blah, more snow, blah, blah, ice on the roads, blah,blah. But, like I've told you guys before, I don't live there. I live in Hawaii and 69 is freaking cold. I could not get out of bed in that cold, just couldn't do it. So I'll do my weights later. Brrrr.........

So a friend of mine asks me last night if I know where they can get an HDMI cable. Now I don't even know what that is so I'm pretty sure I don't know where to get one.

I ended up not going to drawing class last night for some reason that escapes me now, but it was good at the time. I do want to continue my drawing. I have loved it since I was a little kid, but something about sitting in class being told what to draw doesn't sit too well with me.

I have been really, really good in my eating lately. I've been avoiding refined carbs and really feeling good because of it. I haven't had a blood sugar episode in a long time and my energy is pretty stable throughout the day. With my blood sugar I find that I get really tired, like can't keep my eyes open tired.

So last night I stopped at Kmart for some stuff and they had Easter candy. The Whopper speckled eggs called to me. I could not resist. I bought a bag and ate almost the whole thing last night. As the bird says, Bad, Bad. Actually I just looked and there's about 1/2 a bag left. I'm dumping it this morning and there will be no more sugar for the remainder of the week.

Well, that's enough for now. I probably should get ready for work.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
