Quotes from my Book

All of us are Trillionaires!

(look around you)

!)If you can't love me...could you at least love my children?

The wasted years

Oh my...what could have been?

How much love

Replaced by lonely hours?

How many words unspoken?

And planted joy to strengthen

Paths and wondered ...

Cure for Chronic Constipation? YES...COOKIES!

2011-11-01T05:56:00.000-07:00

Cure for Chronic Constipation?

YES...COOKIES!

I have been chronically constipated for many years.

I created this recipe for health and for five months

have had normal bowel function. It is a miracle.

You only need to eat one or two a day and they taste

great too.

Heat oven to 350º

Slowly melt two sticks of butter in heavy pan

Once pan heats turn off heat and let the butter melt.

In four quart bowl beat 2 eggs

add: 1 Tablespoon vanilla (the imitation stuff)

Then add

1 teaspoon soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

Mix with whisk until blended

(it gets frothy don't worry)

In Pan

Add 1 cup dark brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar to butter

in pan. Stir until mixed well and

add to the egg/van/soda/baking pow mixture.

Mix well.

Put 3 1/2 cups oatmeal in blender and buzz until it is flour

Add this to the four quart bowl mixture.

Mix well and add 1 cup white flour (I use Gold Medal)

Now add 1 ten ounce bag of Ghirardelli

(60% Cacao bittersweet chocolate) chocolate chips

1 cup pecans (halves)

Stir and drop onto cookie sheets

Bake 16 Minutes or until browned.

These will be crisp when cool.

Kesti :)

(I think it is the oatmeal flour that creates the magic

so you might want to use it in many of your recipes)

(I have used the Ghirardeli chocolate bars too but

it takes too long to cut them into small pieces)

UPDATE!!!! UPDATE!!!!

These cookies increase urine flow in those who are not constipated.

(maybe because they affect prostate)

My husband is delirious as he now can sleep all night!

You Need to Live

2011-10-05T09:42:00.000-07:00

You Need to Live

You need to live a long time

Before you understand

And then you really don't

Know except from what

You've surmised.

You have had time to observe

How others treat you and why

And how they treat others

without blinking an eye.

If they do it to them

They will do it to you

That is what I think

Gives you a clue

Stop doing for them

and soon you will see

How you rate

On the true friend tree.

It hurts at first

But that will change

It is better to know

Than be in their range

For peace of mind

Is a wonderful friend

It will stay with you

Until the end.

Mind Set!

2011-10-05T09:26:00.000-07:00

Mind Set!

Make sure you don't get stuck in one!

For years my husband and I went hunting for agates...

We never found any bigger than a quarter.

One day when he was about twenty feet away from me,

I thought I would play a trick on him. I picked up a rock

as big as my fist and hollered at him to come and see it.

I held it up. He came running. It WAS an agate!

After that we started finding the

BIG ones!

Life Tastes so Good

2011-10-02T00:01:00.000-07:00

Life Tastes so Good

Life tastes so good

Once peace is yours

So trim that tree

Of sucker growth

Make it tall and straight

Let branches reach out

For breezes warm

Pour healing sap

Into the wounds

Make the trunk strong

Again.

You can do it!

FIND THE ANSWER!

FIND THE ANSWER!

READ ALL OF THIS

IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

The brain is a wonderful, powerful organ.

Program it easily to help you.

Name the problem ~do the programming

and the brain will solve it.

Example: STRESS

Type the title as I did above.

Now find a single word for each letter that tells your brain

that you associate your problem with this word.

It may make sense only to you, Don't stress about it.

Just type it in and forget it.

You have just programed your brain.

Now the brain will do the work to fix the problem.

This can be a health problem or any problem.

I would only program up to three problems in any given day.

This works!

My title was Stress

Then

I typed in:

F Family

I Indecision

N Normalcy

D Depression

T Time

H Health

E Expectations

A Actions

N Natural

S Sadness

W Weary

E Effort

R Resolve

Out Takes from my Book

2011-08-27T14:56:00.000-07:00

'Out Takes from my Book'

(Life on a Slide)

Pull the arrow from your heart and cry yourself to sleep.

Create your own " Center of all Things Wonderful" world!

You can't put rules on love.

It is so sad to see those who struggle to believe in God. They keep asking questions...while surrounded by the answers.

Our bodies must spend most of each day hunting through the garbage we eat searching for a few good things with which to repair us.

Do what you must do to get peace of mind or you will die long before your time.

Only TIME will tell.... And a clock keeps it's mouth shut!

Nothing is really valued until it is lost...

Love a lot?

(hurt a lot)

As you age.... You understand why death is necessary.

I must give up those I cherish to wake up those who disappoint me .... The "middle ground" has disintegrated!

Without conscience we are walking evil... It is good to ponder what you do and how it effects others.....

Guard the energy factor of your life. No energy.... No life. After typing this.... I will need a nap. ( I just woke up from my fourth nap of the day). :

Drink from the fountain and your life may come back depending upon your thirst for endless struggle.

Hanging by a dusty strand of spider web...praying for a strong breeze.....

The fiery red horse ran at full speed to avoid the stench of those needing their promised ride straight into Hell.

Tears are made of lost hope for the new generation of non believers....

You never get old enough to really understand anything...

Push someone too far and you automatically step into the DANGER zone.

There is way too much greed. When you first detect "entitlement" polluting your children, it is time to make some changes before it is too late . If you are suffering from it..... They caught it from YOU !

Teach your children to do at least one worthwhile thing per day for someone else.

BEWARE!

People and events can change you into someone you don't want to be and never thought you would become.

When something seems "very strange"....proceed slowly.

FACEBOOK <------ the place to go to aggravate yourself in new and varied ways!

Pretend that everything is OK.

If you think there is an easy answer, you have forgotten the question!

The next time you think about planning an event... Look in the mirror and see if you look crazy.

Loss of memory protects your sanity!

Death is the period at the end of your sentence!

You can't control chaos !

Never help people to become helpless!

Don't be the Anchor that holds people back!

Be still and just listen. Get off of the freeway and try to think clearly.

Be different.....dare to be good.

Dare to be happy.

Dare to be a leader.

I dare ya!

The stronger your faith...the more you are tested.

When your heart breaks.... All of your blood rushes up your throat....out of your nose and mouth .....then forms the red carpet to guide you to your new home in heaven.

Revenge and betrayal walk hand in hand down the path to their own destruction.

I am Running free now

Faster and faster...

Wind in my face...

Feels so good!

What is that noise?

Oh. I am dragging

A heavy stone

I can see it tumbling along.

I took a knife from my belt and sliced

The invisible rope

Watched it tumble down the hill

Towards the graveyard...

All of the above under ©

Post if you wish however.

'The Panther'

2011-08-17T15:18:00.000-07:00

'The Panther'

I was running down a dirt road

Through the jungle

I was running faster and faster

Because when I looked back, this huge black panther

Was chasing me.

He was four times bigger than any panther I

Had seen at the movies.

I couldn't believe I was staying ahead of him!

I ran and ran. Suddenly I couldn't run another step

So I fell flat onto my stomach to the ground.

The panther couldn't stop that fast so he leaped over me

And slowly turned around...

He walked back to me... slowly and deliberately locking eyes with me...

He then laid down

With his face inches from mine

He saw all the pain and hopelessness frustration and despair

that I had carried throughout my life...

His eyes softened...he gently put one huge paw on top of my head.

A tear rolled down his silky black face.....I woke up...

There was sand on my pillow.

The Other Side

2011-08-17T15:02:00.000-07:00

' The Other Side'

You can reach out

And touch the other side

If you are in enough despair

If you have things

You can't repair

You can reach out and touch the

Other Side

And ask to enter unafraid

For we know not what

Lies behind

And once we do not care

We just want to find

Peace somewhere

A gentle soul took my hand

And held it oh so still

He calmed me saying

We must obey God's will

My time has not come yet

And I must try to forget

The pain and sorrow

I have met.

For there is a plan

In place

A lesson

One might reach

Not to be learned

perhaps...

But to teach...

'Beware'

2011-08-14T03:01:00.000-07:00

'Beware'

Don't enter a room

Where the heart is cold

Eyes are narrowed

And the sneer is bold

For there in lies

The disease of life

That eats at you

And causes strife

That never lets

A day go by

That your discomfort

Doesn't light her eye

Don't enter a room

Where love doesn't live

Where an unhappy heart

Will never forgive.

Such a good dog was he

Serious but nice

A real guard dog

He was in charge

He stayed close

He would always

Jump in my car

Sit up straight

and seemed to say..

I'm ready...let's go.

Aww Charlie

I will miss you...

‘A Tree Of Destiny’

2011-07-25T12:42:00.000-07:00

‘A Tree Of Destiny’

My name is Oak

And I was born in sunshine

Nestled in my sturdy cup

A cradle of hairy roughness

Just my size.

A squirrel stole me from

Mothers arms

And ran with me up and up

To highest hill and buried me.

It was dark and cold

I yearned for sun and

Mothers arms to protect me.

Time went by and I slept

When I awoke I felt some warmth

I reached and reached and alas

I broke through to light..

How refreshed I felt..

I reached for the sun and could

Feel myself growing

I was at the top of a hill

And as I grew I could see more and more

Of the landscape neath my base.

I felt stronger every day

Rain came and I drank with thirst of Giants.

Time passed and I kept reaching for the sky.

Birds built nests in my arms.

Squirrels ran upon my trunk and chased

Each other just for fun.

My outer coat was rough and tough

I could withstand heat and cold

Nothing could hurt me.

The wind whistled and tried to push me

But to no avail cuz I was strong

I was a giant with sixty seven rings

My leaves were Green then brown

As seasons changed.

I gave birth to thousands

Which fed the squirrels and now

I knew that some of them were buried

And left to grow as I.

It was not a fearful thing

But a miracle .

Then one day I saw them come.

With shining blades advancing

I was not afraid for was I not the

Fortress strong?

I felt the sharp sting cut me like

I was made of gel and soon I fell

I made a noise like thunder

And watched the eggs fall from their nests.

Mother birds frantic...

but None with blades would notice.

They cut off my arms and dragged me

Down the hill with giant noisy things

Of strength unseen by me before.

They drove me to a place where noise

And screams were heard

Soon my coat was stripped away

And I was sliced into many lengths

Once again transported to a place

That smelled so strange.

I was cut and polished smooth

And fitted into what they called

A Table.

Eventually I ended up inside a place

They called a house ..made with my siblings

It was warm and nice but I could only see

The sun thru panes called glass.

Each day I heard and felt the clank of plates

As dinner time arose and people sat around

And ate and laughed and talked.

Dogs ran round my sturdy legs

And ate what children dropped to them

When no one saw.

I hear people admire my beauty at times

And say how strong I am...That is how

I know I am OAK.

A Gramma comes to visit and I named her OAK

Because I see her strength

Children gather round her too.

And dogs zoom between her feet and she just laughs.

I wonder who will come to carry her away

And put her in the ground?

Hard Boiled Eggs Easy Peel!

2011-07-07T21:13:00.000-07:00

Hard Boiled Eggs Easy Peel!

I have been looking for an easy way

to peel hard boiled eggs for years!

So easy: Add 2 heaping Tablespoons of salt

to cold water...place eggs in and make

sure the water covers them slightly.

I make a dozen at a time and boil them

for 25 minutes. (set timer)

Pour off water when cooked and add

cold water...peel immediately.

Shell will almost fall off.

I use them for egg salad, potato salad and pasta salad.

Mostly Mine

2011-07-02T11:38:00.000-07:00

Mostly Mine

Be different.....dare to be good.
Dare to be happy.
Dare to be a leader.
I dare ya!

Be still and just listen. Get off of the freeway and try to think clearly.

Don't be the anchor that holds someone back!

Never help people to become helpless!

Robins push their offspring out of the nest so they can fly!

Too much love can suffocate!

You can't control chaos

You are too soon old and too late smart!

Love yourself first!

Death is the period at the end of your sentence!

So many men..... So little time....

Plastic surgeons fight gravity!

Loss of memory protects your sanity!

The next time you think about planning an event... Look in the mirror and see if you look crazy.

If you think there is an easy answer, you have forgotten the question!

Your dream could be someone Else's nightmare!

A large group of people believe that you are punished if you enjoyed sex...
They are called parents.

'Nobody Won'

2011-06-30T02:08:00.000-07:00

'Nobody Won'

Nobody won

No one ever does

When the sadness settles

And you look

At the mess.

Just stress

People seldom change

They instead justify

Their stand

And try to

Pass the blame

On that plate

Called hate.

It started over

A broken heart

And yearning for

What never could be

A baby bombarded

From both sides

His value

They couldn't see

A miracle that

He still grew tall

In spite of it all

He carried the ball!

I thought I was holding

Down the lid

But perhaps

I lit the fuse

It gets confusing

With such

Blown up clues

Explosions tend

To re- arrange

One thing is sure

Now things will change!

If You are Ready

2011-06-24T10:04:00.000-07:00

If You are Ready

If you are ready

To love him now

He may come back

To you.

Stop hounding him

And shaming him

As you are wont to do.

Hold him in

Your arms

And heart

Let him know you care

Don't make him fight

To show that he

Must take a dangerous dare

A family should

Just Be a fort

Protecting all within

Not picking one

To be the goat

And carry all the sin

God sends someone

To help the lost

Just so they

Make it through

If you are ready

To love him now

He may come back

Back to you.

Butt Wiper for Obese

2011-06-22T15:48:00.000-07:00

Butt Wiper for Obese

This is no joke. It is meant to help those who have

problems wiping because of obese problems, sore

arms, any debility that makes you dependent on

others for such a personal assist.

Buy a mini plastic hockey stick.

18 inches long

(novelty item)

See Above

(Type in Mini plastic Hockey stick

at Google)

Buy several dozen white all cotton sport socks

See Above

Directions:

Place dry or wet sock over bent end of Hockey stick.

Use handle to place the sock where it will be

used to wipe. (holding on top of sock

to keep it secure)

Have a basket near toilet

to place used socks into.

Use as many as needed because they will be

washed just like cloth diapers and come out

super clean.

Write to me if you have any better suggestions.

Thanks!

See my Alternative Health website for many

helpful ideas for health problems.

Teen Rap

Teen Rap

I am fourteen years old

But I feel much older

I get in trouble when

I try to act bolder

I'm lookin to the left

I''m lookin to the right

No matter what I do

Everybody is uptight

Everything I have

They've taken away

Nothing is left

Hey, what can I say?

I'm growing so fast

I'm hungry all the time

No one will believe me

So I'm rappin this rhyme

My brain gets dizzy

They say I'm really smart

But my grades are plunging

Ain't doin my part

'Cuz I must be lazy?

Don't you see?

Gettin into trouble

Is exciting for me?

I'm fourteen and scared

I love to make trouble?

That's not true

So I burst that bubble

Life is comin at me

Like a bullet from hell

And all you do is

Complain and yell

I want to do better

I want to succeed

Give me a chance

Don't cut me

Till I bleed.

For just one day

I wish you all were me

Your eyes would tear up

But then you would see.

'HOW?'

2011-06-12T23:22:00.000-07:00

'HOW?'

How does it feel

To have something

You love

Taken away

And you have no say?

Does it make you feel

Small

Thinking "what's the use?

And "to hell with it all?

You can't get it back

Are you now

"off track"

Thinking...

What shall I do?

What if...once... that you deal

With your loss and your tears

Something else

That you love

The same way...

Disappears?

Do not punish your children

by taking away their gifts.

We all identify ourselves by

Our possessions.

They are our friends, our comfort

Love is not cruel

What if your "toys" were taken away?

What then?

Picture it!

'I wish I were a dog'

2011-06-09T04:41:00.000-07:00

'I wish I were a dog'

I wish I were a dog

So you would

love me

I'd wag my tail

When you scratched my ears

I'd never end up crying tears

You'd smile when you saw

That I came in

And never ask me

Where I'd been

You'd watch me eat

Your eyes would gleam

When ev'r I'd lick

My plate all clean

You'd seldom scold me

So I'd know

All was well

And off I'd go.

I'd run and play

Without a care

Never afraid

You'd shave my hair

I wish I were a dog

So you would

Love me.

'STOP IT"

Stop it. Stop it Stop it

Just STOP IT!

We are the adults here!

He is just Fourteen!

On the threshold of life.

Wondering about everything....

Wanting to be liked by his peers.

Thinking about what he must do in the world.

Hormones flying in every direction

Demanding decisions.

School grades scrambling...

Hard to think straight..

Deep voice...Trembling..

Can't act like a little scared kid...

Expectations mounting

As others adjust to

Such a different ME!

Made a mistake

The roof fell in

What Should I do...

What should I do?

Should I run away?

Should I kill myself?

Did they stop loving me now?

My Great Gramma loves me....

I do know that much...

'Bandy the Elf'

2011-05-15T23:56:00.000-07:00

'Bandy the Elf'

A little elf named Bandy lived in a big hollowed out tree

He nestled in and felt safe.

His only friends were six little bugs.

Charlie, Chancy, Carlos, Carper, Chio and Chad.

They were always having fun.

Then one day, in flew a big Lady Bug.

She was carrying a strange thing that looked like a branch.

She came in and looked around.

She said, "This place is disgusting"

It needs to be cleaned up!"

Bandy and his friends looked at each other in wonder.

She waved the branch around and suddenly everything

inside of the tree was sparkling clean.

She waved it again and they smelled something good cooking

in the oven of their black stove.

The Lady bug told Bandy to take it out and put it on the table.

It was a delicious apple pie.

It was bubbling hot.

She invited them to sit d own and enjoy it.

So they did.

Mmm it was so delicious.

She looked around and waved the stick again.

Six little beds appeared.

The bugs had always slept with Bandy but now

they had their own beds. They were really cute little beds.

The lady bug said, You must be bored living in the woods.

She waved the stick again and suddenly near the edge of the

woods appeared a giant Mall. She swooshed it once more and

they were all in the Mall, astonished to see so many people!

The people were shopping and had strange hypnotic looks in

their eyes. They bumped into each other with all of their packages.

The Lady Bug smiled with satisfaction. The bugs climbed up

Bandy's arm and sat on his shoulder. They were terrified.

So was Bandy. He went to the edge of the wide space and started

running as fast as he could. People nearly stepped on him. He

just kept running. He ran out the door and through the parking lot,

into the woods until he was home in his hollow tree.

He locked the door behind him. The bugs were breathing hard too

but were so glad to be home. The remains of the pie was still on the

table but they just wanted to rest.

They all climbed as near as they could get to Bandy's neck, still quivering

from their experience.

They fell asleep..

Bandy and the bugs finished the pie the next morning

They kept their house clean hoping the Lady bug would never come back.

She never did.

Moral: Keep your house clean or you might end up at the Mall.

Cooking Fail

Cooking Fail

OK...I seldom make an error in cooking as I have

been cooking since I was five...That was 72 years

ago.

Today I was going to make my favorite chocolate

chip cookies. Usually I use room temperature butter

but since I was in a hurry and I hadn't remembered to

take it out, I melted two sticks in a pan. Forgot to

turn the fire off and I had some red hot butter but it

hadn't scorched. (first miracle).

So in order to cool it off, I decided to add the white and the brown

sugar to it. Hmmm...that wasn't a good idea as it kinda crystallized.

Ok...moving forward I mixed the two eggs, salt, baking powder and

soda and vanilla in another bowl. (I never follow mixing directions)

By then, the butter had cooled pretty much so I added it to the egg mixture.

Then I added 3 cups of oatmeal flour. Oh boy...the batter didn't look right.

I added one cup of white flour and the batter still didn't look right so I added

an extra cup of oatmeal flour. Now it was really hard to mix but I persevered

and added the chocolate and pecans. I was thinking I was wasting a lot of

expensive ingredients. The cookies looked very shiny...(greasy) but I popped

them into the oven for 16 minutes.

VIOLA...they turned out better than ever. Can you believe it?

Lesson....never give up until the "fat lady BAKES"

You can not see them

Clearly, 'till they've

Got you at death's door.

They have seven ugly heads

What's more!

One to suck

The sparkle from your eyes

One to cement your heart

To stillness with the lies

One to paralyze your spine

A prisoner to make

One with open mouth

To take,and take and, take!

One who changes

Colors every day

One who never listens

To anything you say

One who pretends

For greed's pure sake

The dynamite did lay

They couldn't get

Your strong right arm

And when your brain did wake

The sword of truth

In one quick swipe

The seven heads did take.

You cried

At such a wasted life

God cradled you next Morn

In whispered loving words He said

Dear one, you're now reborn.

He noticed her right away.

She was different.

Aloof yet aware.

She stared at nothing

as he watched her from afar.

He said hello and the stare

became a smile of delight

and a sparkle in her eyes.

She knew he had been watching

and felt the same attraction

The invisible fire danced around them

Drawing them together.

They walked hand and hand

Together towards the beach.

"The Monster"

I have seen it in those I love

It is eating them alive

and now it is trying to eat me.

I think it starts when neglect or pain

is too much for little ones to bear.

It grows as they grow

Never letting real hope and happiness

inside.

It prevents them from experiencing love

and appreciation for all of God's gifts.

It makes them obsess and try to do one

crazy thing after another which brings

them down and negatively affects those

who care for them.

It is like an Octopus from hell, strangling

them, they can not turn off their brain.

Drugs won't work except for awhile.

They want to sleep. They really want to die

but are afraid to say it.

They no longer see the sparkle in their children's eyes

Nor a sunrise nor sunset.

They see a blur of ideas on how to stop the strangulation

they are feeling.

They lie, they cheat, they steal but nothing stops the pain

or the constant blame they put on others. This can't be

their fault! Someone else has to suffer too. No one has the

right to be happy when they feel like this. Do they?

Are they insane? If not now, they are heading down that path.

You can't help them because they keep changing their story.

Lie upon lie upon lie until you no longer know the truth.

You can't get there from here.

You must stop loving them to save yourself.

Make your own Herbal broth

I always buy whole chickens

already baked.

I remove the white meat and then

boil the skin, bones and the rest of the

meat to make a broth or chicken soup base.

(I throw the rib carcass away)

To the six quarts of water I use

to boil the three chickens,

(once strained)

I add the following for the best broth ever.

This is even delightful to drink by itself.

Strain boiled chicken, cool and pick off

best small pieces of meat.

Add the good pieces of meat back into

broth after straining.

Then add:

2 Tablespoons dried chives

2 Tablespoons Sesame seeds

2 Tablespoons dried Parsley

1 tsp Poppy seeds

2 teaspoons dried cilantro

1 tsp chia seeds

Put in broth and bring to boil for about five minutes.

NEVER ANSWER THE DOOR!

Without knowing who is there!

Last Friday, when I was vacuuming, I heard a knock

at the door. I turned off the vacuum and opened the door.

In a split second a strange man pushed his way in

and threw me to the floor like I was a rag doll.

He shut the door and stared at me with evil eyes.

I was in stunned shock!

My two year old Grandson was sitting on the sofa

watching his cartoons. He let out a scream and

my paralyzed body suddenly filled with adrenaline.

I kicked the intruder in the balls and jumped to my feet.

I grabbed the vacuum and swung it like a baseball bat

at his head. It connected and blood splashed everywhere.

I picked up my Grandson and called 911. The intruder died

in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.

Virtual Travel One

After I say my prayers at night, I let my mind take me to outer space. Sometimes back

in time. Whatever mood I am in. I have been doing this for years.

The Ship

I only had to wait a few seconds on the front porch in the dark before the

saucer shaped object came out of the sky, landed and extended its ramp. It was

white with a lavender glow about it. As soon as my feet touched the ramp, I seemed to

float rather than walk to my seat. Off I went into space. I knew it was taking me to the

Purple Planet as I had been there many times before. I watched as it passed through

millions of enticing places. I felt excited. Sure enough...in a very short time

we landed on a platform that led to my favorite spa. I was helped by strong, kind, human like

assistants to the massage table. Carefully undressed and covered with a light blue weightless

fabric. Four attended me and began the wondrous massage that I had become accustomed to.

I felt like I was glowing, full of light and could feel tensions and worries lift from my body

and disappear. They left me, relaxed and almost asleep. Soon a strong warrior type came

from a side door. He lifted me up and carried me to the pool in the marble room.

It was so beautiful in there. Soft music played in the distance. The water was warm and

he slid me onto a bed/chair that let me partly sit and partly lie in the gold sparkling water.

He quietly left the room. I was in paradise. The water felt like liquid gold. My body felt like it was healed inside and out. The room was filled with one beautiful color after another.

Soon about twenty or so of the assistants gathered around the small pool. They all stared at me and smiled. They began humming a tune I remembered as a child. I woke up in my bed, the next morning, refreshed, relaxed, remembering their smiling faces.

Cold and Cough GONE in a day!

2011-03-10T04:19:00.000-08:00

Cold and Cough GONE in a day!

I know...it is hard to believe. I am still in shock!.

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling soooo

terrible. A horrid cough woke me. I could hardly

catch my breath. My throat was sore, my nose was

running, my neck lymph nodes were swollen.

I reached for my clove/coconut oil that I had made only

two days previous. I rubbed the oil on my nodes, neck

and chest. I finally went back to sleep. When it was 9AM, I awoke

for the day.

I was coughing and feeling terrible. I sipped some

oil of oregano (six drops) and Kloss's (10 drops) in an 8 ounce glass of water.

I rubbed the clove/coconut oil on my chest and throat about three more

times.

That same afternoon, I awoke from a two hour nap and ALL symptoms

were GONE! I felt great! What in the world? Usually a coughing cold

will take me out for a week or two.

I think it was the clove/coconut oil that did it as I have taken the water mixture

before with no dramatic results like these!

Want to try it? Here is the simple formula.

Buy a small jar of WHOLE Cloves.

Put a tablespoon of the cloves into an empty small jar.

Add 4 Tablespoons of coconut oil. Leave it sit at room temperature.

It won't spoil. Coconut oil never spoils.

Rub it on your chest and neck when you get a cold or cough.

Let me know if it works as dramatically for you as it did for me.

Thanks!

'If Dogs could Talk'

What is that smell?

I hate that smell.

It is inside

Not outside.

I need to go out and

Run in the fresh air

so I can breathe.

It seems to be coming

from those funny

looking things they

put in their mouths

and light them on fire.

I hate those things.

I lick their faces and

I can taste it...ewww

It gets on everything

Even my bed.

Those things make

them cough too.

I wish I could live

Outside

But I would miss my

soft bed and the love

they give me.

High frequency sounds in ears?

High frequency sounds in ears?

If you have them, you should read this!

For a few months now, I would get sharp pains in my ears

seemingly out of nowhere.

The last five days they have been steady and very disturbing.

Last night when we were watching Netflix, all of a sudden

I could hear this noise getting louder and louder. My husband

heard nothing! I covered my ears and then I didn't hear it so

I knew it wasn't in my head. We began unplugging all electronic

devices. The sound was loudest in the kitchen. We unplugged

all. Still kept getting louder and louder. Suddenly I had an impulse

to turn on the hot water faucet. I turned it on and then off and immediately

the sound stopped. Relieved, I went to bed. I always shut the door to my

bedroom. At 2AM I got up and when I opened the door, the sound almost

knocked me back inside. I ran to the faucet and turned it on and then off and

it stopped immediately. I don't know what this is, but believe people if they say

they can hear it and have them try the faucet trick.

Maybe it is Aliens or too much electronic stuff in the home. (we have a lot of it)

I just hope I never hear that awful sound again!
