AN OBITUARY to reason -- good reading from London times,

 

An Obituary printed in the London Times     Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn't always fair; - and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing

positive negotiation

The magic of honey and cinnamon

 It can only help -with no side effects

Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing".   When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Cinnamon and Honey
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 , in 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 waterand drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was 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.

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 bacterial andviral 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 increase 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 restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!

Sex without the spider please musing

Don't wait for this scary ED cure

Forget the little blue pill. Some scientists think the answer to your penis problems may be found in a spider bite.

Yeah, that was my reaction too -- because that's the last place I want to find cobwebs.

Researchers have been studying venom from the Brazilian wandering spider, one of the world's most dangerous arachnids. One bite from this big, aggressive spider can cause a powerful and painful erection lasting for hours... and then lead to impotence.

That is, if you don't drop dead first.

Scientists have isolated the toxin from this nasty creature and found that it can create erections in impotent rats. Toxic spiders and sexually frustrated rodents -- all I can say is I'm glad I'm not leading THAT study.

But researchers say the spider venom causes a rise in nitric oxide levels, leading to erections. Viagra and other sex drugs to the same thing -- they just work in a different way.

While I'm all for alternatives to drugs with nasty side effects -- and don't kid yourself, every time you pop an impotence pill, you're taking a big risk -- turning yourself into Spider-Man isn't the answer.

The very thought of it gives me the heebie jeebies -- not exactly the sensation you're looking for when you're looking for some romance.

If you need a pick-me-up in the bedroom, don't pick up a prescription. And don't wait for some spider to give you a love bite.

Most cases of erectile dysfunction and impotence are related to low testosterone levels. Age and weight are two of the biggest reasons our levels drop -- so if you've put on the pounds along with the years, it's time to lose the weight before you lose your love life.

If weight alone isn't the answer, then work with your doctor to increase your testosterone levels.

You can also get a more immediate boost by taking vitamin E -- around 400mg per day -- along with some zinc, ginseng and fish oil.

And if you need another reason to get your sex life sizzling, keep reading...

They say the mind is the first thing to go... I say, not on my watch!

I've heard them called senior moments, brain hiccups and even brain farts!

But now you can help put an end to embarrassing and inconvenient situations -- forgetting names, missing appointments, losing your keys -- and shift your mental game into high-gear.

Why you should keep her satisfied

I've never doubted that great sex leads to greater happiness -- it certainly always puts a smile on my face -- but a new study paints a clear picture of just how important that love life is to her.

Women who have a satisfying sex life have a greater sense of well-being and vitality than women who are sexually unhappy.

But the latest study published in one of my favorite rags, the Journal of Sexual Medicine, lays it out bare, and maybe a little attention here will help get more couples off the sofa and into the sack.

The researchers looked at 295 women between the ages of 20 and 65 who had sex more than twice a month (not enough, but it's a start anyway).

Since all the women in this study were sexually active, we can assume that the frequency isn't always related to the quality -- clearly, plenty of women are having regular sex. It's just not very good.

And gentlemen, that's on you. Don't assume your sex life is sizzling just because it's active. Like any other part of your relationship, you need to communicate -- because clearly, your sex life can affect the overall health of at least one half of your marriage.

And while this study only looked at women, can there be any doubt that sexual satisfaction benefits both partners?

Gents, you know the score as well as I do -- when your better half is happy and has a greater sense of well-being and vitality, you're happy too.

And when she's not -- watch out.

A true believer in sexual healing,

William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.

Good burn out advice

5 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'RE EXPERIENCING WRITER'S BURNOUT

By Bobbi Linkemer

The word burnout was not even in my vocabulary when I first started
writing. I knew I would never tire of it, never want to do anything
else, never stop. I wrote at every opportunity. Looking back, I
don't know how I did it, except that I was young and obsessed. I
ran on adrenaline and addiction to writing, I suppose. All I wanted
in life was to write full time.

Strangely, that addiction has never wavered. I have been writing
for 40 years and can't think of anything I would rather do. Yet,
having said that, I must admit that I have been worn out,
exhausted, and blocked more than a few times over the years. Being
a full-time writer means you write all the time. That's pretty much
all you do, except for gathering the information you will write
about.

For the first 20 years, I had a series of great writing jobs,
ranging from managing a city magazine to managing a marketing
communications department. If I was burned out at that point, it
was more with the vicissitudes of corporate life than with writing.
But, to be sure, I was burned out.

For the second half of my work life, I have been a business owner -
a one-woman band who, in addition to writing, does everything else.
When frustration has reared its head, it has been caused by the
need to create some sort of balance among work, life, and the
unbelievable number of administrative and financial tasks that come
with the job.

The writing has been challenging, comprising virtually every
industry, every subject, and every genre. The variety has stretched
me, educated me, and stimulated me. What has driven me crazy is the
uncertainty of finding work when there is too little, doing the
work when there is too much, holding on to the work in the midst of
a chaotic business environment, and continuing to love the work, no
matter what it entails. Keeping all of those balls in the air all
the time sometimes seems impossible. It is certainly a recipe for
burning out.

Here is what I have learned that may be of help to you when you see
BURNOUT in neon on your computer screen:

1. Never say never. This advice applies to everything in life. It
is the one word that is guaranteed to trip you up because we never
(whoops) know what life is going to throw at us or how we will feel
when we must deal with the unexpected.

2. Admit it. You're tired. You're sick of what you're doing. You
hate your boss/editor/client. You're uninspired. You have writer's
block. You wish you were a carpenter. You want to scream. The point
is, don't deny it and fight your way through it. Stop, and be aware
of what's going on inside of you. The body never lies, and, if it's
turning you into pretzel knots, there is a reason.

3. Don't panic. When you feel yourself burning out, getting tired,
writing mechanically, or feeling too blocked to write at all - and
you will - take a break. (Oh, but I can't; I have a deadline!) Yes,
I know, but whatever you're doing or not doing isn't working. So,
stop and take a walk, a nap, a movie, a meal, or a vacation. Read a
book, veg out in front of the TV, put on your favorite CD, wash the
floor, fix your car, do yoga or tai chi or karate. Do anything but
write.

4. Know that it will pass. You are still a writer, a good writer in
fact. You haven't lost your skill or your love of the craft. It's
probably premature to throw up you hands in defeat and job hunt. Be
a Taoist: go with the flow. You don't beat yourself to death when
you have the flu; why do it when you are suffering from temporary
malaise? Chalk it up to a passing phase, and get on with your life.

5. Think it through. If it's serious, if it's continuous, if it's
painful, and it won't go away, you may have to do more than go to a
movie or roller-blading. You may have to examine what is going on
and whether it is indeed time to move on to something else. My
guess is, that given time, you'll find some way to refresh your
mind and your creativity. But if that doesn't happen, you have a
right to switch gears and find another outlet for your talents. You
did not sign a life-long contract to be a writer. If it's time to
do something else, go for it.

Burnout is stress on overdrive. It affects your health, your
psyche, and your work. When you are a writer, burnout can stop you
in your tracks, rendering you incapable of doing the one thing you
can and want to do. Recognize it and respect it.
