a 'man' is pregnant....

Hmmmmmm.....................

I hear on the news, and everywhere today, that a 'male' is pregnant. This is apparently a woman who has had a sex change, is now legally a man, and because 'his' female partner has had a hysterectomy he/she has been artificially inseminated and is pregnant. . . . .

All I have heard so far is about how this 'man' is going to be having a child..... HELLO - ITS A WOMAN!!!!!!!!! Dont all you men in the world start going and getting ANY credits for one of your 'race' giving birth. Goddess save us.

Ok - rant over.

Dont start me - no more ranting ok.

My young bloke had his ear pierced this week. He has been absolutely HANGING. Pestering... a lot!!! It is part of his birthday present, which is in two weeks. Finally happy. Thank goodness someone is.

Shit - I tipped the Bulldogs tonight, they are getting flogged.

I am not into it really - only doing it to keep my mother happy - old bag - she wins the tipping comp every year.

Cinnamon & Honey

I am posting this mainly for myself, so I wouldn't lose it - thought you might be interested too.

(I have just made four more SoulCollage cards. Will be posting them to my other blog soon.)

Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on honey and cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, on its issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:

HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS: Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

TOOTHACHE: Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.

CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient were found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol. (By the way. if you're taking cholesterol medicine STOP! They all contain STATIN which weaken your muscles...including YOUR HEART and none has been shown to stop heart attacks or strokes!!!!

COLDS: Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH: Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.

GAS: According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM: Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION: Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural Ingredient which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increases and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.

PIMPLES: Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

SKIN INFECTIONS: Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.

FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

BAD BREATH: People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.

HEARING LOSS: Daily morning and night honey and Cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restore hearing.

Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Yawn

Am a very tired girl.

Sat up late last night staring at this screen, looking, playing, reading. Thoroughly enjoying myself. Consequence - had to go and get eldest from the frickin all night movie marathon this morning at 6am. Grrrrrrrr. Bloody sun wasnt even up and the fog was so thick i could hardly see my nose.


Had an ok day at back passage yesterday, even tho i didnt lay eyes on our absent sister. IN between showers we had a yummy lunch, and cause it is a caravan park, didnt see much of the little boys. much good. The dads took the boys down to the mud puddle waterfront and allowed them to slide around in the mud water. Some very smelly, muddy, excited boys was the result of that little escapade. Oh well.... it kinda washes off.


Lazy lazy day today.


The shack is a total shit fight, there is bum nut wrappings everywhere and random stuff on every surface. I kid you not. Must make another coffee.... back in a minute.

aaaaagggggggghhhhhhhh - thats better.....

I always struggle to get moving after i have had to wake up too early. Kid that went to all night movie marathon came home and slept for an hour and a half then had to go to work for the day. Am thinking she will be a bit slow today - hope she doesnt fall asleep in the chip vat.

Glad to hear that the YAAD information evening went well last night. Wish I could have been there. I have gained a lot from this past 9/10 months from the course. I think because I grew up as the only daughter and 3 brothers - having 'sisters' in my life is very important to me. I am very happy with how close we have all become. Continuing on this journey is not even a question in my mind. It is the natural follow on from me as i am now. Does that make sense???

Oh well.... better go and do something.

Ha Ha

Anyone who would like a huge belly laugh, should read the comments in the post before this one. Good one 'Chelle!!!

Well, now its Farkin Saturday, and I have survived four teenagers in the house for a sleepover. Even the random boy that dropped in at 9.30 and stayed til i kicked him out at 11. Hmmm - the fun starts................... NOW.

Tomorrow we are supposed to go and visit my brother and his family at the caravan park at back passage where they are spending easter. Not looking good weather wise. Cant wait to spend the day sitting under a dripping tarp with annoying children (most of them mine) who are all on chocolate highs. Woo Hoo.................. not.

Well, best go.

I have a flyer to create.

A gift voucher to buy.

A swan to polish.

Coffee to drink.

mmmm

fun

as they are saying on Fox8 - may the easter bunny bring you lots of fancy chickens bum nuts tomorrow.

xoxo

Wednesday...

Here it is .... Wednesday


Life has improved somewhat since my last pist. I was having a shocker. Have been running around like a mad chook today trying to shop for Easter. Frickking hell, bloody expensive chocolate. I have cut waaayyyyy down on what I used to buy for everyone. We had to. No money will do that to you.

Also went and got one of my boy's birthday presents today, and a damn good idea it is too. (if i do say so myself) I got him a Junior Membership to the Knights. Cost me $30 - he gets a card (he will be wrapt) a birthday card sent to him, which is apparently signed by the Players, an 08 poster, a members cap with Member 08 embroidered on the back and free entry into all home games. What a bargain. Plus invitations to things such as breakfasts etc. He will be stoked. They have a $15 one, which has all of the above except entry to the games. Might even get it for his little best mates birthday in a few weeks time.

Went and had a drs appointment today to discuss how i am going on my happy pills. He is happy. I am happy (mostly) and i am still on only half the dose he originally prescribed for me. This is good. He sent me for a blood test for the blood disorder i had (remission) - i went to the place at lambton with Julie. She is amazing. I have really deep veins and she finds them first go every time. Bonus. It doesnt even sting a little bit when she does it. I can highly recommend her. Cept I opened the front door and blood ran out everywhere.... I said, I only came in to give a little bit of blood, not all of it!!!

Oh well, better go. do something. house looks like it has been ransacked while i was away. damn maid, i think I will have to let her go.

Hopefuly will make it to Reiki tonight.

Might see you there...
