Yesterday

-
I had the worst headache yesterday. I woke up with it and thought it was because I was hungry. I ate and it was still there. I ignored it. I went for my run and it pounded the entire time. It was there all day. Finally, last night it got so bad I had to take something. It seems to be gone this morning but I have a headache hangover. I feel kind of foggy and a little out of it. So, this got me to thinking why? Usually when I get a headache I can figure out why. Also, my headaches are different from different causes. This was suspiciously like a lack of food headache. Hmmmm....Made me think. I stopped using artificial sweetener on Tuesday. Hmmmm.....could this be the problem?? I really think so. I stopped once before and had a headache for 3 days. Then for some inexplicable reason I started using it again but in a much lower quantity. I think that's what caused the headache and the foggy feeling today. I've said it before and I'll say it again, those things are chemicals and they are poison to our bodies. I am never, NEVER, using them again. I will not use any product that contains them. I wouldn't put that crap in my system. I'm done. And now I'm done with this rant.

I have a rather early dentist appointment today, they are implanting the post that will support the crown for my root canal. I don't really have time to work out. And I kind of don't feel like it. So, I'm thinking of taking my camera and going out shooting. I haven't been on a photo expedition in a long time and I'm kind of feeling it today. I'm thinking of heading up north shore way and shooting all along the way. That sounds like a fun day. It I'm going to do that I have to go feed the baby bird before I go. He can go about 6 hours without eating so he should be good while I'm gone.

Have a lovely expedition - it will be a good walk and clear your head. Yes, we all know sweeteners are REALLY BAD, but in our house we have to balance that with diabetes. Thank goodness we found out about stevia. My sniffles have gone and my finger joints are more flexible. Have a great day!

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.
