Souped up

I drive around town and I see cars that are all souped up. Some I think look just plain crazy because they are now painted with Reeses Pieces or Dora the Explorer logos and characters. They have the big wheels and spinners and are most loud and vibrating with the loud music if you happen to be next to them in a lane. I had not really ever thought about doing anything like that to my car, but I guess I could if I fancied that. I have a plain car and I think that souping it up might make it look funny. Then again...how funny do those other cars look to me?

If you fancied that you could begin on the Turbocharger site. They have everything to make any model of car transformed. Hondas, VW's, Fords and even an audi turbo. They have all you need to make your car a master of the road. The site had the best selection of new and remanufactured turbo chargers and nose cones. And just what the heck do they do for your car? They increase performance and speed. The site is very ecnomical, availabe 24/7 and shipping to you is within days of ordering.

For the neophyte like me I was able to read about the benefits on the learning page. My car has no get up and go at all, so having something to increase speed would be great. I can see me doing that. More energy and power from the engine is what I need. If your car needs a pick-me-up, be sure to check out Turbocharge. They are the professionals when it comes to souping up your ride!

Love of Brussels Sprouts

I have always loved Brussels sprouts. I had always seem them looking like little cabbages. I have never seen how they REALLY look till I went to my local organic food store and I bought some there. I was amazed! I got them and the figs you see behind them. I was also enticed into buying some pollenta as well. They were doing a cooking demo with it.

I bought a stalk and they kept for a long time in my fridge. I was able to pluck enough for two big freezer bags. It is amazing how things really look in their natural forms. Not only do they look good but they are good for you. they are very high in fiber and also are in the cancer fighting category of cabbages. They are low in calories and high in vitamin C. You can't go wrong with Brussels sprouts!

Black Grapes

I was in Costco last week and got a carton of black grapes. They were great! Juicy and meaty. After checking them out I realized they had more health benefits than I realized. I know that all the purple foods have the most antioxidants, but I did not realize that eating then in mass quantities could cure ailments. I plan to eat more black grapes because heart disease runs on my fathers side of the family. He actually died in a year after having a pace maker put in. On my mother's side there is cancer. So I truly believe we are what we eat. Eating better is the key to longevity. So for me, more fiber is key!

Used as a supplement or an alternative to medicine, and eaten in a therapeutic dose, raw fresh grapes aid in the treatment and prevention of many disorders:
• Arthritis—eating exclusively 2-3 pounds of black grapes for 1-5 days will provide amazing therapeutic relief, depending on severity of symptoms
• Heart Disease—experimenters in the Soviet Union have shown that eating nothing but 1-3 pounds of black grapes for 5-7 days has a detoxifying effect on the muscles and valves of the heart and also purifies and balances the bloodstream
• Prostrate disorders—exclusively for 1-3 days at 1-3 pounds
• Menstrual disorders—exclusively for 1-5 days at 1-3 pounds
• Cancer—2-4 pounds of grapes a day for a week to a month will help detoxify all tissues and organs in the body, and restore organic integrity to starved cells when used solely for a prolonged period of time

Colonics? Yes or No

While up very early this morning I had the fun and exciting opportunity to watch several infomercials about colon cleansing. I have been thinking I need to do this. I want to do this but I do not want to get any products on the infomercial. I wish I knew someone personally who has done this. With IBS I think I need to clean it all out from time to time. It might help. Recently my stomach is in a state of constant gurgle. The IBS is about gone but my stomach is now very noisy. It has never been that way before. Other people standing or sitting next to me can hear it. It is loud.

What I have seen that I think I will try is what Oprah suggested on her show. The cleanser and acai berries. I feel that if Oprah can use it, it must be okay. She has the golden touch. Yet, I do not know. Our bodies are designed to keep us clean. We just need to eat the proper food. Fiber, fiber and more fiber. I think I will ponder it some more before I take the leap. I will change what I eat and will try to use my juicer more. I think I have only used it once in the past month. I think I will go juice up some beets, carrots and apples right now.

Gear for the Peacekeepers

Whether you are on your local police force or in the military, you too are in need of nice gear for the job. I used to be in a program in my college days that was geared to getting students to join the police academy. I used to be in uniform while in this program, but it was all standard issue. I looked just like the REAL officers on the street. Everything was provided by the city. These days I guess there is much more diversity and you can actually buy your own stuff to wear. I guess this would depend on the job or division you were in.

If you have this freedom, the be sure to check out 5.11 Tactical Pants. They have clothing and accessories that will actually enhance the effectiveness of people in law enforcement or the military. After checking the site, the military and government have actually been using these goods for the past 20 years so they are tried and true. They even have some sales going on now. Just in time for Black Friday weekend shopping. If you buy any two clothing items, shipping is free and they will give a free hat. If your purchase is over $125.00, more free gifts come your way...a travel mug. That is a bargain. A lot of things are on sale and their is even a clearance section. That is my kind of shopping!

Need new things for your peacekeeping honey? Be sure to check out 5.11 Tactical Pants. You just might be able to fill his stocking with useful things!

Under the Weather

It has been a rough night. I have come down with a cough and cold and my throat is totally raw. I will stay in today and not go to church. I guess I will break out the home remedies. First will be putting peroxide in my ears. That does work. I use it every winter. Then will come the eating of whole garlic cloves and drinking lemon water. You know. Just water and lemon juice squeezed into it.

Whenever I tell my coworkers to do the above things they just look at me very strangely. A few have tried and they do say it works.....especially the peroxide. It is easy to do. I have had remarkable results in curing the flu and cold within 12 to 14 hours by administering a few drops of hydrogen peroxide into each infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected). It starts working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing the flu or cold; there will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging occurs. Wait until the bubbling and stinging subside (usually just a few minutes), then drain the excess fluid onto a tissue and repeat the process in the other ear. It is easiest to lie on your side in bed while using this method, and a Q-tip or cotton ball work well to administer the peroxide. I have just poured a little into my ears from the cap. That works also.

So...later today I hope to feel better.

Holiday Food

Well it has begun. The holiday eating. This is what my boss gave me and some of the other managers for Thanksgiving. It was very nice. I have just tried a few things out of it. Last year I was not included...me and one other. I thought that was bad. The big boss just did not think. He gave money instead.

A Little Better

Well I have been uffering with IBS bouts for the last 3 months. Finally it is getting a little better. I have been doing all I can to reduce stress, eat more fiber, be more active and heal. It just takess time. This is my wake up call. I can't see having this chronically. I have to get healthier and stay that way. It is all about changing your lifestyle. Not a diet.
