I Think

I welcome the diversion of going to work this morning. Nothing like getting a bit of exercise and getting paid to do it.

I bought me a drill with a cord Saturday. Dewalt. It's the first one I have owned that's got a built-in level. My Dewalt battery drill lasted me a long time, as did my other cord drill, a Black and Decker. Both wore out at nearly the same time. I had to choose. I hope to replace the battery one in the future.

The local deer may be moving in our direction, some of them. I mentioned the building and woods destruction activity around Tomball in an earlier post. For the first time, I saw four dash across the road, not far around the corner, a few weeks back. This week end I witnessed about the largest one I have seen, awaiting the chance to dash across the heavily traveled four lanes of Kuykendahl. Looks like they are running out of hiding places.

Is an impact drill and a hammer drill essentially the same thing edgar?

I believe it is, although I am no authority.

To those who say gun control cannot work: How do you know? It's never been tried here.

The obsession with each tragedy such as the one in Connecticut helps plants seeds in the minds of unstable individuals. A natural fact that cannot be helped. When people say that gun control cannot get guns out of the hands of criminals, they are correct. Prior to the act, most mass shooters are not known to be criminals, however. If gun control can save even one life I am in favor of it.

The worst thing about the holidays is, people give you sweets, daily. They insist you take and enjoy them. As your belly grows and your system protests, the craving for sugar rush becomes obsessive. Finally, you must insist: NO MORE! But you give in and never regain control until the week after the new year.

We be at the tipping point. Soon, the days begin to grow longer. As a young person, I craved the cold weather. These days I tend to seek the warmth.

OH yeh, thanks for the info.

even as the days lengthen, we are getting into the coldest time of year. Although, lately, I dont know. I still want some real ole time winters where I can wear my snowshoes when I take my walk down into the marsh and the woods. DAMMIT!!


If youd planted your garlic on Halloween like I told you, you could now be enjoying tender tips of the delicious allium as a tasty stir fried "bed of" ,upon which to serve broiled scallops or even pork chops . But nobody listens to me.

I listen to you fm. The garlic is in the fridge here.

Perhaps it's your breath (from the gahhh-lic)?

It's the 19TH. In a few days all is over. No more energy drinks. No Play Station. Busy honking freeways, silent. That nagging headache, at last relieved. No Teaparty or liberals. The Astros need not worry about rebuilding the team. America: The Indians won after all.

My moringa trees have weathered this mild winter very well. Despite having some cold weather, they still are leaved. Even if the leaves depart, I am confident they will revive with the spring warmth. One of the original two is stunted. I want to move it before it gives up the struggle to grow. Because it will have a long tap root, I may finish it off instead. The one in a pot never developed a woody trunk. It is about two feet tall.

gustavratzenhofer, if you ever peek in, I want to explain something. I never responded to you in a serious way, because I thought you, like a vaudeville performer, must always be "on." Only in retrospect do I read the serious underlying intent of your "I almost had sex with a Bird" type threads. I bow before your insight and hope one day to have the opportunity to make amends for my short-sighted approach.

I've always enjoyed gus's posts; I thought he was witty and introspective.

The winds be fierce outside. I had to clear a tree limb before mrs edgarblythe could get her car out. I hope she gets there okay.

She just called to say the road is blocked. She had to double back and go 2920.

Tomorrow's doomsday cannot compete with Y2K. There was a scenario worthy of panic and dread. The Mayan threat seems curiously calm, composed. Could it be our doomsdays are coming in too rapid succession to allow hysteria properly to build? Maybe it's the media, giving too much drama, endlessly. Whatever, I am poised to await the next one. Already.

It's right at the freezing mark out there. On Christmas day we have a forecast of 60% rain.

My neighbors came here about a year or two ago, with their mobile home. They appeared to be putting down roots. Then they got new neighbors on the other side. I could see they were trying to build barriers between themselves and the newcomers. Whatever, it did not work out. When I came home yesterday, they were moving out and taking with them their mobile home, new porch, fence, etc. By three o'clock, they had left. There is nothing on their lot, now, except tire tracks, lawn and weeds.

mrs edgarblythe came down with a severe stomach virus for three or four days. She is fine, now. During that time, when we would kiss or otherwise get too close, I would automatically drink, and irrigate my nose with, colloidal silver. Crisis passed, I resumed my regular use of a tablespoonful per day, last night.

My avatar is from a photo of plywood cutouts I used to make and sell. I still have the pattern in the storage, I think.

For me, using alternatives for treatment has been more of a struggle than it had to be. Every time I get started on a promising regimen, it gets disrupted. Usually because I lack the money to buy all that I need. For instance, apricot seeds were moving me in a good direction. But a shortage of the good ones caused the price to skyrocket beyond the capabilities of a poor man to participate. Food grade hydrogen peroxide - The idiot that sold the formula neglected to mention a step that makes it work for many users. After I had already done all that was required, according to him, I knew much had been healed and/or made better. But it stalled at that point. Then I get an email from that gent. For money I will tell you the missing step. In disgust I moved on to other methods. I should have paid him for it and then widely broadcast the whole story, complete with the entire program, just to deprive the man of revenue.

So it has gone for twenty years. For the whole of one year I could afford nothing at all. MMS is doing wonders throughout the world. But it requires too much time and keeping up with the protocols, that they keep improving. It requires ten hours per day and I simply cannot keep to a schedule. For the past couple of years, I have had the occasional symptom, mostly on the skin. So I put the salve on and cleared those up. Then I started ingesting the salve in capsules. I was overly complacent. A few weeks ago I started substituting Alpha Omega Labs' tonic for the capsules, because, with my wife now working, I could pay for it. The tonic is an amazing herbal concoction (alo vera as a base medium, bioenergized extracts of oliander, graviola, chapparal, zinc chloride (5%0) and pure grain alcohol to preserve the freshness). After a week or so, as it began to get thoroughly into my system, I began to feel less energetic - due I think to it attacking bad cells in the whole system. Small welts would show up on the skin then dissipate. A large, hitherto undetected patch of skin cancer made itself evident the other day. Between the tonic and the black salve, I have it on the run.

So I am back to full offense against the cancer. I have just highlighted a small part of what I am using in the fight. Some of the stuff I am using would amaze you. I refuse to divulge the entire scenario. Suffice to say, I am still well enough to go to work without missing any time and coming home and working on the house.

There are capsules that target specific areas of the body from Alpha Omega Labs. Kidneys, liver, etc. I buy bottles of those as often as I can afford them.

I have a portable drill that runs out of power all the time; even when I have it plugged in for a full charge.

I guess my next drill will be a corded one. Why did you select the Dewalt?
Model number? `

I selected the Dewalt because I had a Dewalt cordless, which was given to me, for years and it was the workhorse of all the drills used at work. Also, we have a Dewalt circular saw that is easy to use and gives excellent performance.

Thanks. I will look into the Dewalt.

Strong winds yesterday. It constantly blew down trees, particularly along Eldridge Parkway. I watched film of trees going down, one barely missing a passing truck. One young man was killed by a tree as he sought to move another one off the pavement.

Its breezy and lightly freezing out there, now.

It was hard to be merry this year, in the face of grim newscasts, but we do what we can for our sanity.

One of my gifts was a book called The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It looks interesting enough to give it a start. I find it hard to read many books these days. Too many distractions, I guess.

There is a young man who via PM wants to convince me re his vision of gods and life. We conversed for a good while last night. I tried at first to allow him his vision and him to let me cling to mine, but he insists I need to get educated. I have been kind but firm. Hopefully it will end today.

My people skills are weak. I can be my version of friendly, loyal, whatever. Still, sooner or later, others feel I have let them down. I never meant to be callous, dismissive, whatever, except in certain specific instances. Right now, some relatives are avoiding me despite my being as supportive and friendly as my circumstances allow me to be. Some friends on a2k feel slighted by me. While all that is regretful, I slog on. It all should come out in the wash. If not - Well, I may feel a few pangs, but I refuse to let it derail life for me.
