Read MoreThe Legend Of Rice And Beans
My dear friend Barty Aum wrote, performed and produced a song called Rice And Beans. A few years ago, I was compelled to write the rest of the story. The Legend Of Rice And Beans You’ve heard the ballad immortalizing the bank-robbing lovers, Rice and Beans. Now it’s time to sit back while I tell […]
Read MoreTake Away The Hurt, Please
There are so many directions I can go with this post. Reining it in is a bit salient. Anyone who is afflicted with PTSD or CPTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) will oft times seek out ways to make that pain go away.

Read MoreBitter Or Sweet
Recently, a friend encouraged me to begin a special cleanse regime using a product she had started using a few months before. I do try to do a cleanse of my body periodically and was looking to do so in the near future, so I gave her product a try. Noticing no difference in anything […]

Read MoreE Pur Si Muove
Not long ago, I was watching a television show where a scientist was working on an important project related to the characters in the program. She paused and said, “E pur si muove. And yet it moves.” She looked at the other person with whom she was speaking and went on to discuss how things […]
Read MoreComment on You Are So Sweet by SudsEats
I agree with all you wrote. That American scone is a travesty. Everything is loaded with sugar in the form of high fructose corn syrup. Low fat diet food is high in sugar and salt to compensate for the lack of fat Keep reading the full post from the original author
