Eggs, Water And Other Killers!!

First, eggs will kill you!  Then, eggs are fine!  Then eggs will kill you!  Then, eggs are fine!

New research has concluded that eggs are bad for you because they are high in cholesterol.  Well, cigarettes are low in cholesterol but we are told that smoking them causes a rise in cholesterol.

So then, in the case of cigarettes, is cholesterol produced by the body? That appears to be the case unless science has not found a source of cholesterol in cigarettes.

So, maybe not all cholesterol comes from what we eat.  Maybe cholesterol is really produced by our bodies.  Hello!!!

I am sick of it!!!!!  Scientists do some research and then publish an outrageous report in the hopes of getting more research money.

I just heard that people who drink water are going to dying.  I have been drinking water for over 60 years.  I guess I am a goner!!

The Cooler Case.

The other day, I was in the pet supply section at Meijer (regional grocery chain) when I noticed a small cooler case.  Since this cooler case was the same size as the cooler cases by the checkouts, I expected it to contain bottled water and soft drinks.  But to my surprise, it contained pet food.

So, instead of having to cook up chicken and rice for Fido, you can buy it fresh from the cooler case.

Well, alright.

Skim Milk Is Evil!!!

In an effort to keep my calorie count down, I have been drinking skim milk.  And, I have been doing so for many years.  But, now research is telling us that skim milk is bad for us because it has too much sugar.  So, instead, we should be drinking 2%!!!  Not 1/2%, not 1% but 2%.

For years, science has been preaching the virtues of skim milk for weight loss and the evils of 2%, 1% and even 1/2% for your overall health.  They even declared how harmful all of that fat was to your digestive system.  But now, all of that fat is OK.

And people wonder why I am so cynical about scientific research.  It is only a matter of time before scientific research declares the evils of drinking water.

The Bees Nest.

The other Sunday, when the kids were over, they discovered an in ground wasp nest in the yard.  Hoping to kill all of the wasps, the kids stuck a large stick in the hole.

Well, the determined wasps not only excavated around the stick, they ended up digging a hole the size of a volley ball in my yard.

I went out tonight and sprayed the hole with bee killer. It is much more effective than a large stick.

Hungry Birds.

Forget Angry Birds, I have hungry birds.

Normally, I fill my bird feeders once a week.  Lately, I have been filling them twice a week.  In the past, I would be suspicious of a squirrel raiding my feeders, but, I have seen as many as a dozen birds on the feeders at the same time.  Plus, the seed seems to go down at a uniform rate amongst all of the feeders. And, on days when I am home, I can observe the seed going down.

I guess the dry conditions have created a food shortage.

Dr Oz!

If you remember, the original wizard of Oz manifested himself as a huge man with lots of smoke and thunder and lightening. But, in reality, he was just a small man behind a curtain making a lot of noise for himself.

And this is where today’s Dr. Oz. is at. He makes a lot of smoke and thunder and lightening, but he is still just the small man behind the curtain.  He declares this and that but in reality, we all just need to click our ruby slippers and leave Dr Oz behind in our life.

 

Death Wish!

The other morning, just after dawn, as I was driving down a wooded country road, I saw a peculiar movement on the opposite side of the road.

When I focused my attention in that direction, I discovered that it was a bicycle rider, with no lights, wearing black pants and a dark green and black shirt.  He blended in well with the country side.

Since there was nothing on the news, I guess he completed his ride with out incident.  Either that or they haven’t found the body yet.

My Bedroom.

A year ago, I moved my bed to the far end of the room to install the new flooring.  But, because I decided to remodel the kitchen, I was not able to start the bedroom project until just last month.   My bedroom is now half finished. Soon, I will start on the other half of the bedroom.

It seems good to have my bed back where it belongs.  Even after a year, I would still wake up in the night and wonder where I was sleeping.  Hopefully, the rest of the bedroom will go quicker.
