Coffee

-
I love coffee. I mean I REALLY love coffee. Sometimes nothing is better than a good cup of coffee. But I'm also discriminate. I won't drink just any coffee. In fact, I generally only drink one cup a day in the morning. That's the cup I need to get me going. If I do have another cup during the day it has to be good. Like Starbucks or something. I will not waste time or effort on nasty coffee. Ever. So I always have a coffee pot at home and coffee in the freezer. The other day Hubby said that someone had donated a coffee maker to the club but the club didn't want it, did he want it? I was like meh, but when he said it had an espresso maker I was sold. If there's something I like even better than coffee, it's espresso. So he brought it home and it's big and takes up a lot of counter space. It's rather complicated and I had to read the instructions to figure out how to make coffee. Yesterday I used it for the first time and all I can say is Oh! My! God! The coffee that comes out of this thing is so smooth and delicious. There is no after bite at all. It is absolutely awesome. I only put creamer in my coffee and you only need a little bit. It is so good. Here is the beast on my counter:

I have no idea what something like this costs. I just looked it up on Amazon and it's about $150 machine. But it is worth every penny. The coffee is so good it's not funny. I guess in some things it's worth it to spend the money and buy the best. Somethings you can get by with cheap imitations like an iPod or a purse. But other things it is worth it to go for the best you can afford, like rifle scopes or running shoes.

So, if you are looking for a really, really good coffee maker I highly recommend this one. Oh, yeah, and we are not even using expensive coffee. We just buy the coffee that's on sale every week. Luckily we live in Hawaii so Kona coffee is generally the stuff on sale. But still, I bet this could make Yuban or Folger's taste really, really good.

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.
