Well, I must have intimidated most of you by challenging you to come up with a title/caption for this photograph. The response was by all counts underwhelming ... regardless ... my hearty thanks to those that took a stab at it. By popular vote 'raym5,' more cordially know as Marie, is the winner with her three part title using the sign as a means of play on words - constitution, consternation and the ever popular constipation. Additionally, some contestants chose the upward pointing arrow, the gaping mouth, and the red (almost cowboy) hat for their title/caption selection. All those making a submission are invited for breakfast but Marie will get an extra magnum of champagne to accompany her petit déjeuner!

Although several possible titles for this photo came to mind I thought it was time for one of my - now world famous - title/caption contests. As always, I want everyone to try and put a title/caption on this 'not so great' but arguably 'somewhat odd' photo of this poor, unwitting gentleman. The winner gets the now standard but clearly unparalleled prize of breakfast (served by me) on my dock during the sunrise at Keefer Lake.

Today's story and sketch "by me" you see Pascagoula Gofish, in the township that was named after him by the early
inhabitants. One in particular, she being his first Earth Girlfriend, a Natchez Indian maiden named Naomi, she was
the tribes nutritionist and herbal "EMT" (Emergency,Metamucil,Trailmixer) she was the first herbalist to discover
"psyllium" a bulk forming fiber used as a laxative and propellant, she kept the tribe loose and happy, but that is a story for another time. But today we will write about that first meeting of Naomi and Pascagoula, it was on a Tuesday afternoon just as monster storm was approaching the area in the Gulf known as Mississippi, Pascagoula was busy watching his, (SRM), "Stormaugmented Reality Meter", which is a computer-generated content overlaid on a real world environment.
And that days environment was not so good, it was signaling a severe weather system "Hurricane coming soon".
Naomi first noticed the shinny Space ship, then was a bit startled when she noticed Pascagoula in a lawn chair looking
at a the "SRM" meter, he was like no one she had ever seen nice light grey complexion, and crystal clear black eyes.
The eyes were so beautiful to Naomi she walked up and began speaking in her native Natchezany language, lucky for
her Pascagoula could understand every known language in the universe, "It was not his first cruise to Earth",
but he had never seen an Earth girl who was so beautiful, they talked and talked about constipation and the approaching
Hurricane, Pascagoula and Naomi walked to her village to warn them about the upcoming disaster, and to all get into
a safe cave he had seen on there walk. The hurricane arrived and did massive damage, it wiped out the entire village, luckily Pascagoula had taken the precaution to load up the cave with his supply of moon pies. Pascagoula saved everyone,
and soon married Naomi, he became the official Natchez Weatherman, and lived happily with Naomi for many years.
Pascagoula has been a weatherman, the last four hundred years, but behind the scenes at fox TV channel 51
warning about Hurricanes, and selling Metamucil Moon Pies.

This is an old shed at Morpeth. When I lived at Raymond terrace many years ago the paint had faded and it looked a bit sad, fortunately it has been repainted and now looks like it did back in the old days.
Indian Root Pills in the early part of last century were supposedly a general cure all for such ailments as constipation, sallow complexion and general ill feeling, touted as the answer to everyone's problems, this product was sold right into the late forties.

About six months ago, a friend was patiently listening to several of my complaints about aging and some of its annoying and irritating consequences. He asked me if black beans were a part of my diet. When I told him I couldn't recall the last time I had eaten black beans, he smiled. "Just what I figured," he said, seemingly glad that my answer was negative.
After a few more minutes listening to his praise about some of the immediate joys of black beans, I was a believer.
That was six months ago. Now, after consuming about seven ounces of black beans with my evening meal, I must say that I am a happier guy, a normal and regular guy with one major complaint about aging gone. It is so good to feel good.

Synchronicity was in a great way for this picture between couple sun ☀️ and moonlight 🌙 , throned son, cristal light’s heals all the soul under nymphs...( thanks to Nymphaea by Claude Monet ) Cristal healing and echoes of consciousness.
Liberation of darkness is possible way with your pineal glands and you can compare them with a crystal light and follow the guidance through your dream.Other significant work for linking the throne to nymphaea could be a Jungian interpretation for Alchemist (following old Egyptian science)
It’s amazing how crystal light is a healing process for testing your body to sitting on a throne.However, it has only recently become clear that apomorphine can be utilized, with excellent results, to treat erectile dysfunction. It is a centrally acting, selective D1/D2 dopamine agonist, and activation of dopaminergic receptors in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus initiates a cascade of events, ultimately resulting in smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilatation within the corpora cavernosa, leading to penile erection. Crystal river and albedo was whiteness day for a throne of consciousness enlightenment
This discovery provides a likely explanation for the appearance of Nymphaea in the Luxor frescoes and in erotic cartoons ... The fact that temple drawings only depict use by the higher castes, such as priests and royalty, suggests that the masses did not benefit from this discovery. The Nymphaea story serves as a further illustration of how the effects of substances of plant origin were known even though the discoverers lacked the technology to explain them. The water lily was also used for other medicinal purposes, according to Lise Manniche in An Ancient Egyptian Herbal, including liver disease, poultices for the head, constipation and as an enema (1989, p. 134). She also notes that it was used in a magical spell to cause a "hated woman"'s hair to fall out. In Greco-Roman times, it was thought of as a cooling herb, and was thus used to bring down a fever.

The source is one: male and female are united. In alchemical images we see a throne from which streams of water flow into one flashback to primordial life’s hermaphrodite.
The Syrian love goddess who the Egyptians married off to Min, was depicted as a naked woman who stood on the back of a lion, carrying snakes and water lily buds. The buds are likely linked with her role as a goddess of sexuality and fertility. Votive offerings to Hathor included bowls with water lily motifs, again alluding to fertility, the renewal of life and rebirth. (A water bowl was also the hieroglyph for a woman, which A.H. Gardiner in Egyptian Grammar believes to represent the vagina, linking the fertility sign of the water lily in the bowl to female fertility in this case.) The Egyptian idea of sexuality was identified with creation. Being a flower of creation, the flower became linked to human fertility and sexuality. The images of women holding the flower may be hinting at her ability to bear children or that she was sexually desirable, and images of men holding the flower may hint at their potency. It could also be a way to ensure that the person painted would be fertile - and sexy - in the afterlife.
Contemporary reference to the role of water lilies and mandrakes (Nymphaea and Mandragora, respectively) in ancient Egyptian healing ... suggest the possible importance of these plants as adjuncts to shamanistic healing in dynastic Egypt. Although the usual interpretation of the water lily and the mandrake has been that of a part of ritual mourning ... it is argued that the dynastic Egyptians had developed a form of shamanistic trance induced by these two plants and used it in medicine as well as healing rituals. Analysis of the ritual and sacred iconography of dynastic Egypt, as seen on stelae, in magical papyri, and on vessels, indicates that these people possessed a profound knowledge of plant lore and altered states of consciousness. The abundant data indicate that the shamanistic priest, who was highly placed in the stratified society, guided the souls of the living and dead, provided for the transmutation of souls into other bodies and the personification of plants as possessed by human spirits, as well as performing other shamanistic activities. test was carried out to see if there were any narcotic effects of the blue water lily. There were no known psychotropic substance found in the flower itself. In The Mystery of the Cocaine Mummies Rosalie David ('Keeper of Egyptology, Manchester Museum') says that "we see many scenes of individuals holding a cup and dropping a water lily flower into the cup which contained wine". The assertion by Dr Andrew Sherratt, based on these depictions, is that he believes that when the flower was infused with wine, that the chemical content might change and become the ancient Egyptian party drug or a shamanistic aid. The lilies were flown from Cairo to England, and nineteen of them opened after the sun came out. The flowers were soaked in the wine, and after a few days, two volunteers - who claimed to know nothing about ancient Egypt - drank the lily-wine:Unfortunately the test was not up to scientific standards - there was no control group (where another set of volunteers would drink wine not infused with the lily, but told that it had been) - so it is rather difficult to know how much of the effects on the two were just from the alcohol and if any were from the lily infusion itself.The blue water lily was possibly also a symbol of sexuality - Dr Liz Williamson says that the flower "has a sort of Viagra effect". Women were wooed with the blue water lily. In certain erotic scenes from the Turin Papyrus, women are shown wearing very little apart from the white lily as a headdress.The blue water lily was possibly also a symbol of sexuality - Dr Liz Williamson says that the flower "has a sort of Viagra effect".

More recently, it has been discovered that this plant could have been used by the ancient Egyptians to help with erectile dysfunction. This would help explain why the plant was so intimately connected with sex and sexuality:
Nymphaea caerulea (blue lotus) and N. ampla, which has a white flower but a similar alkaloid content, grow along lakes and rivers, thrive in wet soil, and bloom in the spring. They belong to the water-lily family ... The isolation of the psychoactive apomorphine from Nymphaea species has offered chemical support to speculation that Nymphaea species may have been employed as hallucinogens in both the Old and the New World. The use of N. caerulea and of N. lotos in rites and rituals is depicted in the frescoes within the tombs, and in very early papyrus scrolls. The most important of these was the scroll of Ani (Book of the Dead). Nymphaea is mentioned and represented in several chapters of the book, always tied to magical-religious rites.
The water lily was also used for other medicinal purposes, according to Lise Manniche in An Ancient Egyptian Herbal, including liver disease, poultices for the head, constipation and as an enema (1989, p. 134). She also notes that it was used in a magical spell to cause a "hated woman"'s hair to fall out. In Greco-Roman times, it was thought of as a cooling herb, and was thus used to bring down a fever.The flower wasn't just used at parties, but it was used at funerals. As with many symbols of fertility, the blue water lily was also symbolic of rebirth after death. Tutankhamen's innermost gold coffin had blue water lily petals scattered over it along with a few other floral tributes. The Egyptians looked forward to their souls coming to life "like a water lily reopening", thinking that the deceased died as the water lily closed awaiting opening with the morning sun. The Book of the Dead has a spell to allow the deceased to transform into one of these flowers:
The goddess Qedeshet, standing on a lion, holding water lilies and a snake, the Syrian love goddess who the Egyptians married off to Min, was depicted as a naked woman who stood on the back of a lion, carrying snakes and water lily buds. The buds are likely linked with her role as a goddess of sexuality and fertility. Votive offerings to Hathor included bowls with water lily motifs, again alluding to fertility, the renewal of life and rebirth. (A water bowl was also the hieroglyph for a woman, which A.H.

The images of women holding the flower may be hinting at her ability to bear children or that she was sexually desirable, and images of men holding the flower may hint at their potency. It could also be a way to ensure that the person painted would be fertile - and sexy - in the afterlife.As we mentioned above, Aphrodite/Venus as the morning star is a central image for the albedo phase of the Great Work. Aphrodite was born from the foam that arose when the genitals of Uranus (cut of by Chronos, out of hate and jealousy) fell into the sea. The cutting of the genitals represents repressed and tormented love. The sea, symbol of the soul, however will bring forth the love goddess. Liberation will happen when we become conscious again of the contents of the soul. As Aphrodite is born from the sea, she is the guide through the fearful world of the unconscious (the sea, or the underworld). The alchemist descends into these depths to find the ‘prima materia’, also called the ‘green lion’. The color green refers to the primal life forces. Venus also has the green color. An important characteristic of Aphrodite is that she helps us in our human shortcomings. She gives ideals and dreams to fulfill. But she also gives frightening images in order to make man aware of his lower nature. "By her beauty Venus attracts the imperfect metals and gives rise to desire, and pushes them to perfection and ripeness." (Basilius Valentinus, 1679) Liberation can only happen by becoming conscious of the lower nature and how we transmute it.
In Jungian psychology Venus/Aphrodite is the archetype of the anima (in alchemy also the ‘soror’ or ‘wife’ of the alchemist). The anima is the collective image of the woman in a man. It is an image especially tainted by his first contact with his mother. The anima represents all the female tendencies in the psyche of a man, such as feelings, emotions, moods, intuition, receptivity for the irrational, personal love and a feeling for nature. She is the bearer for the spiritual. Depending on the development of the man she can also be the seductress who lures him away to love, hopelessness, demise, and even destruction.
Other alchemical images for albedo are baptism and the white dove, both derived from Christianity. Baptism symbolizes the purification of both body and soul by ‘living water’. ‘Living water’ was regarded as the creative force of the divine. It allowed the soul to be received into the community of the holy spirit. Thus baptism allows the purified soul to bring forth the resurrection of Christ in oneself. This is the ‘hieros gamos’, the ‘sacred marriage’ between the soul and Christ. Christ here represent our own inner divine essence.
There are many other symbols in alchemy for the second phase, or albedo: the white swan, the rose, the white queen, and so on. As lead is the metal of nigredo, silver is the metal of albedo, transmuted from lead. As silver is the metal of the moon, the moon was also a symbol for albedo. Alchemists also talk about the white stone or white tincture. They all means basically the same thing, although one has to understand them in the context in which they were written.
The union of Hermes and Aphrodite. The moon is above the retort, indicating this is the stage of Albedo. The sun above is the next stage of Rubedo. At the same time sun and moon are again the opposites to be united. Aphrodite has two torches. One pointing down, representing the lower passions to be transmuted. The upside down torch is the purified energies. Aphrodite is standing on a tetrahedron, the perfect three dimensional body, as all corners are equally distant from each other, resulting in a lack of tension.
Albedo, symbolized by Aurora, by the dawn, the morning star (Venus-Aphrodite), and by the sun rising up from the Philosopher's Sea.
Albedo is also represented by Aurora, the Roman goddess of the dawn. Her brother is Helios, the Sun. With a play of words aurora was connected with aurea hora, ‘the hour of gold’. It is a supreme state of conscious. Pernety (1758): "When the Artist (=Alchemist) sees the perfect whiteness, the Philosophers say that one has to destroy the books, because they have become superfluous."
Albedo is also symbolized by the morning star Venus/Aphrodite. Venus has a special place in the Great Work. In ancient times Lucifer was identified with the planet Venus. Originally Lucifer has a very positive meaning. In the Bible we find 2Petrus 1:19 "…till the day arrives and the morning star rises in your hearts". In Revelation 12:16 Christ says: "I am the shining morning star". Here Christ identifies himself with the Lucifer! We find the same in mystic literature. In ancient times Lucifer was a positive light being. It was just one man who changed all that: when a certain Hieronymous read a phrase from Jesaja 14:12 (Jesaja talking to a sinful king of Babylon): " How did you fall from heaven, you morning star, you son of the dawn; how did you fall to earth, conqueror of people". Hieronymous used this phrase to identify Lucifer with the dragon thrown out of heaven by Michael. By the interpretation of this one man, Lucifer was tuned from a shining light being into the darkest devilish being in the world.
We find Lucifer in alchemy associated with impure metals polluted by rough sulfur. It means that the light being Lucifer in ourselves is polluted by what the alchemists call ‘superfluities’, ‘dross’, caused by man himself.
Mercury and Lucifer are one and the same. One talks about Mercury when he is pure, it is the white sulphur, the fire in heaven. As ‘spiritus’ he gives life. As ‘spiritus sapiens’ he teaches the alchemist the Great Work. Lucifer is the impure Mercury. Lucifer is the morning star fallen from (the golden) heaven. He descended into the earth and is now present in all humans. Lucifer is Mercury mixed with impure elements. He dissolved ‘in sulfur and salt’, ‘is wrapped with strings’, ‘darkened with black mud’. Keep in mind we are always talking about our consciousness. Lucifer represents our everyday consciousness, all the (psychological and other) complexes have clouded our pure consciousness, Mercury.
The light of Mercury that appears to us as Lucifer, because of the distortion caused by the impurities, gives the impression of what the alchemists called ‘red sulfur’. The red sulfur of Lucifer, as traditional devil, is actually an illusion. It does not exist by itself because it is only an image, a distorted image of Mercury. We ourselves caused the impurities, the blackness that veils our true light being.
Red sulfur is the same as what is called Maya in eastern philosophies. Maya is the world of illusions, or the veil that prevents us from seeing and experiencing true reality, where the eternal light is. By the impurities of Maya, man has become ignorant. He has forgotten his origin and thinks he is in a world which in actuality is an illusion.Albedo - Whiteness
Je ne craignais pas de mourir
mais de mourir sans etre illumine.
(I was not afraid to die,
but to die without having been enlightened)
Comte de Saint-Germain, La Tres Sainte Trinisophie
The herald of the light
is the morning star.
This way man and woman approach
the dawn of knowledge,
because in it is the germ of life,
being a blessing of the eternal.
Haji Ibrahim of Kerbala
Lucifer, Lucifer stretch your tail,
and lead me away, full speed through the narrow passage,
the valley of the death,
to the brilliant light, the palace of the gods.
Isanatha Muni
Being deep in nigredo, a white light appears. We have arrived at the second stage of the Great Work: albedo, or whiteness. The alchemist has discovered within himself the source from which his life comes forth. The fountain of life from which the water of life flows forth giving eternal youth.
The source is one: male and female are united. In alchemical images we see a fountain from which two streams of water flow into one basin. Albedo is the discovery of the hermaphroditic nature of man. In the spiritual sense each man is a hermaphrodite. We can also see this in the first embryonic phase of the fetus. There is no sex until a certain number of weeks after conception. When man descended into the physical world his body entered a world of duality. On the bodily level this is expressed by the sexes. But his spirit is still androgen, it contains duality in unity. Its unity is not bound to space, time or matter. Duality is an expression of unity in our physical world. It is temporal and will eventually cease to exist. When male and female are united again, one will experience his true self. Conscious and unconscious are totally united.
Albedo happens when the Sun rises at midnight. It is a symbolic expression for the rising of the light at the depth of darkness. It is the birth of Christ in the middle of the winter. In the depth of a psychological crises, a positive change happens.
Language 6 according to Albers (1929)
(Detail)
Miguel Ventura's piece for PND! show was an extremely complex installation with multiple meanings. From my position as curator and Pole I was interested in pink swastika as a meaningful object. The hate and evil symbol today was a symbol of hope in the time of Nazism beginnings. There is no dictatorship that begins his rule promising the terror - they always spread the vision of a better future and often believe that doing evil they are working for supreme good.
Below Miguel’s Ventura statement for the piece.
NILC and PINK NOT DEAD
The title of the piece I’m exhibiting is Language 6 according to Josef Albers 1929. This piece is a quasi-children´s play painting model kit which might be constructed in different ways. The original installation of this piece in mexico differs somewhat from the one created here. The color pink helps to underline the playful as well as perverting qualities of the elements of this installation. I have used diverse materials for its construction: the manufactured elements are made of a plastic material commonly used in Mexico for arts and crafts and didactic materials in schools, photographs of different projects of my work where I have used the color pink, historical photographs from my personal collection of german world war II soldiers in the process of relieving their bowels and videos. before I continue I must explain the words NILC which appear throughout this painting installation. NILC is an umbrella organization I have created to channel my artistic strategies and activities. The initials N-I-L-C stand for The New Interterritorial Language Committee, a title I appropriated from the Interterritorial Language Committee established by the British for the instruction of Swahili as a lingua franca in their East African colonies in the early XXth century.
The core of this piece is based on a painting by the German artist Joseph Albers, a pioneer of early Modernism and a precursor of many of the reductive strategies used by artists today. I have chosen this piece in light of the Mexican contemporary art scene which mimics prevalent international reductive strategies as part of a process of integration to a ‘global art world’. NILC´s contradictory and perverting philosophies view with suspicion and contempt these canonical values and reductive tendencies in contemporary art today which are a continuation of Modernist aesthetics as established by North American theorists in the 1950´s. These aesthetics tend to constrain and constipate the education and development of artistic expression today. Therefore the presence of the soldiers relieving themselves on the field. It is convenient for political and social reasons that these aesthetic ideals be continued and developed for they are part of a homogenizing power structure, therefore the use of the swastika in this piece. Yet our contemporary social and artistic structures feel somewhat ingrown and perverted at this time and constipation must be relieved. The swastika, used here as a symbol of an anarchic nature rather than its world war II nazi symbolism implies, is used to counteract this overwhelming and dominating power structure.

This is an image related to my Pink not Dead! art project.
Here is the link to one of the english language articles about the project:
Below is the link to my Pink Blog you must be 18 years or older to enter:
Detoxing is much more than a fad word or a trend, it is a time honored tradition that has benefitted countless generations. With modern medicine and food advances, we have discovered even more ways to detox the body, including using certain roots like ginger or fruits like lemon. Add the two together and you have a potent combination of amazing proportions. www.amazon.fr/Lose-Weight-Fast-Dan-Hild/dp/B0BQHT8R7J
The Lemon Ginger detox is a good starting point for anyone seeking to cleanse the body before undergoing more powerful detoxes. Natural, healthy, easy to do and quick to produce results, the lemon ginger detox should be the first stop on any weight loss journey.
This easy to understand and detailed guide explains every aspect of the lemon ginger water detox, from preparation to implementation. If you are looking for a way to get healthy and to lose weight, then this is the guide for you. Drinking lemon-ginger tea before bed may help improve mindfulness and hydration. It may also reduce indigestion, nasal congestion, and more.
If you have difficulty falling or staying asleep, you may be looking for ways to get more rest.
Drinking an herbal tonic, like lemon-ginger tea, could be a soothing bedtime ritual to help put the day behind you.
Lemon-ginger tea is exactly what it sounds like: a gentle herbal infusion of fresh lemon and ginger — with a bit of sweetener like honey or agave nectar, if you choose.
You might be wondering if lemon-ginger tea has any unique health benefits. While it may not make you sleepy, it might help you wind down and relax and provide other benefits.
This article examines six benefits of bedtime lemon-ginger tea and explains how to make it. 1. Soothes indigestion
If chronic indigestion or a heavy dinner keeps you up later than you would like, a cup of lemon-ginger tea may be a great tonicTrusted Source before you head for bed.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a root long used in alternative and folk medicine for its ability to alleviate the delayed emptying of your stomach.
What’s more, lemon (Citrus limon) contains a plant compound called limonene that aids digestion by helping move food along your digestive tract — potentially easing the uncomfortable feeling of fullness.
While the amount of limonene in a given cup of lemon-ginger tea will vary, you might find that the combination of lemon, ginger, and water in lemon-ginger tea calms indigestion. 3. May reduce nasal congestion
The steam generated from your hot lemon-ginger infusion may help open up your nasal cavities — helping clear a stuffy noseTrusted Source. Drinking something warm also soothes a sore throat from mucus buildup.
Although these effects are mostly anecdotal and supported by folk medicine, they may be useful to keep in mind during cold and flu season or if you experience seasonal allergies.
Lemon-ginger tea won’t cure you of any of these, but it may help loosen up congestion, allowing air to flow through your nose a little easier. 4. May relieve constipation
Constipation can result from several factors, including dehydration and a diet that’s low in fiber.
When constipation stems from dehydration, relaxing in the evening with a warm cup of lemon-ginger tea may help since water helps stool pass through your digestive tract more easily.
If you feel chronically constipated, be sure you’re drinking enough fluids throughout the day, too.
Speak with a healthcare professional if you have:
trouble having a bowel movement
less than three times a week
blood in stool
5. May help fight inflammation
Gingerol, one of the plant compounds found in ginger, boasts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Chronic inflammation is linked to conditions like metabolic syndrome, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and heart disease.
However, studies show mixed results on whether ginger has anti-inflammatory effects in people.
Plus, it’s worth keeping in mind that there isn’t enough research currently to know just how much gingerol is needed to achieve these effects — and how much of it you would actually get from drinking a typical cup of lemon-ginger tea. 6. Keeps you hydrated
When you drink lemon-ginger tea, you are, of course, drinking water — which means you’re hydrating your body.
This is important, because staying hydrated keeps vital organs, like your kidneys, gut, and heart, functioning properly.
How much water you need per day is affected by many factors, such as your medications, activities, and any health issues.
How to prepare lemon-ginger tea at home
Making lemon-ginger tea at home is easy. After all, you’re simply infusing water with fresh ginger and lemon.
Lemon-ginger tea
Makes one serving
Ingredients
1-inch (2.5-cm) piece of fresh ginger root, peeled
1/2 lemon, quartered and 1 fresh wedge for garnish
1 cup (237 mL) of water
honey or agave nectar, to taste
Directions
Combine the ginger and lemon with water in a small saucepan and allow to simmer on your stovetop. Let this steep for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
If you find the tonic too weak, consider grating in your ginger instead, or cutting the piece down into smaller chunks. You can also zest in some lemon peel if you want more lemony notes.
Stir in honey or agave nectar to taste, if you wish. Garnish with a fresh wedge of lemon.
You could also make a larger batch and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to warm it up again. To do so, multiply this recipe for a few days’ worth. www.healthline.com/nutrition/lemon-ginger-tea-before-bed

Please ... no applause for me. Mr T is the one who rescued this tart! I followed the recipe to the nearest berry ... creamed, whisked, greased tin, oven cooked for the said amount of time. The tart looked very good - I dusted it with icing sugar. All was fine till I tried to remove it from the bottom of the tin ... it was not cooked underneath.
Ho hum ... I piled the sorry mess into a couple of bowls. Cooked some more berries - then handed it over to Mr T (who is a much better cook!) to rescue. The last photo is of our salvaged pudding - raspberry and blueberry crumble with a lovely frangipane and crumble topping - it was very tasty!
Here's the recipe in case you feel adventurous. I hope you have better luck than I did. The bits that were cooked tasted very nice!
Berry Frangipane Tart
75g softened butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup ground almonds
1 tbsp. gluten free cornflour
150g fresh raspberries and blueberries
2 tbsp. pure icing sugar
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C.
Grease 6 5.5cm x 10cm loose based fluted flan tins and place on oven tray.
2. Mix the butter, vanilla extract and caster sugar in a small bowl with an electric mixer until combined. Add the egg and mix through.
3. Gently mix in the ground almonds and cornflour and mix until smooth. Spoon mixture into tins; smooth surface and sprinkle with berries.
4. Bake tarts for about 30 mins or until golden brown and firm to touch. Stand in tins until cool to touch; turn carefully, topside up, onto the bench. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
"Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) affecting one in seven Australian adults and is also common in the USA, Europe and many Asian countries. This condition is characterised by chronic and relapsing symptoms; lower abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, wind, distension and altered bowel habit (ranging from diarrhoea to constipation) but with no abnormal pathology. The diagnosis of IBS/FGID should be made by a medical practitioner.
The research team at Monash University have developed a diet to control gastrointestinal symptoms associated with IBS/FGID. The team has focused on a group of carbohydrates they have named FODMAPs (stands for Fermentable Oligo-saccharides, Disaccharides, Mono-saccharides and Polyols).
FODMAPs can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine. Mal-absorbed carbohydrates are fermented by gut bacteria to produce gas. Current research strongly suggests that this group of carbohydrates contributes to IBS/FGID symptoms. FODMAPs are found in a wide range of foods." www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/
I have to say a huge thank you to my hubby Mr T and also to the research team at Monash University ... I am on week three of this diet and, touch wood, it seems to be helping!

This is one of H.H. Warner's many lines of products his Warner;s Safe Kidney & Liver Cure, Warner's Safe Bitters, Safe Nervine and Safe Diabetes Cure were all introduced in the late 1870's . By 1887, H. H. Warner was hitting his stride as his patent medicine empire was flourishing around the world. In that year, Warner introduced a new major line of medicines that he dubbed “Log Cabin Remedies.” These pills are less common because, unlike the embossed bottled Safe Cure products, the pills were packaged in an unembossed vial with a paper wrapper. Warner's line of pills including the Log Cabin Liver pills all seemed designed to relieve constipation. Each bottle sold for 25 cents.

Sandra and l stopped for a drink at a local tavern on the lake.
Had all kinds of male attention.
Poor boys need a cold shower l tell you.
Was similar to church this morning.
Lots of people praying for something to enrich thier life's.
Thiers has no chance of being answered. And although they might be bigger and stronger.
Both us little girls carry big guns and shoot them not only accurately. But practice constantly. A girl cannot have to much protection. Pepper spray and box cutters work. But just showing a 357 Magnum with Lazer scope and putting that dot on your forehead, works a whole lot quicker.
I personally prefer my 9mm Glock..... Smaller lighter Less kick. Semi automatic. Easier to get access, hide, and shoot
Best cure for constipation l have ever witnessed. Not to mention. Will shrink a hard on in the blink of an eye.
It's survival in the big city. Works nicely.
It's called the 2nd amendment in the United States.
The right to bear weapons and protect yourself.
Both Sandra and l work in some very bad areas. People getting raped. Carjacked. And murdered.
When l worked for city. Fellow worker had gun stuck to forehead and had brains blown out for his car. 6 months away from retirement. That is why l left. City would not let you carry to protect yourself.
Not going to happen to me.
It's another reason, Sandra and l have bonded.
Similar thing happened to someone she worked with.
It's a bad world out there. People need to be prepared to defend themselves.
They would find out quick what it feels like to be fucked........
Alternative Names:
Aeldrum ,Black Elder, Boor Tree, Bountry, Elder, Ellanwood, Ellhorn, European Elder, and German Elder
The elder tree is steeped in folk lore, history and superstition, probably more so than any other plant. All parts of the tree were used in traditional societies. It was an important part of every herb or monastery garden or farm. It was planted wherever European people settled so that they might have its beneficial properties close at hand. Elderberries in mythology are both revered as protective, magical and healing, and reviled as evil and threatening.
The oldest known use was found in pole-dwellings from the Neolithic age in Switzerland (2000 BC).
The Druids thought of it as the tree of superstition, able to ward off the evil spirits and threats of death and destruction. The White Goddess, who guarded the door to the underworld, was said to protect the elder tree.
Some people believed that planting elderberry trees in the back of the house would protect the inhabitants from evil, and the fact that elderberries repel flies reinforced that idea. The leaves were also said to be protective. Bunches of leaves were placed in doorways and tied to horses’ harnesses to keep evil away. Elderberry leaves were also said to keep milk from souring, so the plants were often placed around dairies.
It was dangerous to cut down an existing elderberry tree, as a myth held that that person would die within three days. Should cutting down the tree be absolutely necessary, some protection could be obtained by singing a protective song, asking permission of the “Elder Mother” spirit inhabiting the tree.
It was used by Hippocrates (ca. 460-370 BC) and Pliny the Elder (AD 77).
In some regions, superstition, religious belief, or tradition prohibits the cutting of certain trees for bonfires, most notably in Witchcraft customs the Elderberry tree; “Elder be ye Lady’s tree, burn it not or cursed ye’ll be” –A rhyme from an Oral tradition.
Elderberry wood features prominently in mythology. Wind instruments carved from it are said to produce music that is beloved by spirits and faeries and medieval traditions hold that elderberry branches bring good luck and that switches made from it will preserve a healthy herd of cattle.
The wood of Christ’s cross was said to have been made from the elder.
The Anglo-Saxons thought that elders represented both good and evil – that if you cut an elder down, a witch would manifest in its place, but also that it would keep witches at bay (they were planted near wells and at the door of newly weds). If you fell asleep under the heavy scent of an elder in full bloom, you would be carried off to the world of the fairies and be protected from snakes and evil spirits.
In Germanic societies, the elder-mother, goddess of life and death was supposed to live in the elder tree. The elder became both the symbol of life and of death.
The wide range of medicinal benefits (assistance in treating colds, flu and asthma, allergies, diabetes and weight loss) is possibly due to the elderberry’s high anti-oxidant properties and capacity to build the immune system. Current research shows that elderberries are high in vitamins C, A and B.
Historically, both elderflowers and elderberries were given to build the immune system and prevent colds and flu. However, it is the flowers and berries of this tree that are most often used medicinally. Elderberries contain flavonoids, which are natural chemical substances that give food their taste and color; they also boost the immune system, and supply the body with antioxidant protection. Elderberry may be effective in treating some diseases related to a depressed immune system, and preliminary studies have shown it may be effective against some viruses, including herpes and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Elderberry has been traditionally used to relieve pain, inflammation, water retention, and congestion. All parts of the elderberry tree, including the bark, flowers, and leaves, have been used in herbal medicine. Elderberry leaves are added to topical creams and sitz baths to treat inflammatory disorders, such as arthritis, boils, and eczema. Aged elderberry bark has been used to treat water retention and constipation, and to induce vomiting.
Laboratory studies have shown that elderberry reduces excessive sinus mucus secretion, and some studies also suggest that elderberry can help lessen swelling of mucous membranes, improve sinus drainage, and decreased nasal congestion in those with bacterial sinusitis.
A recent Norwegian study has shown that elderberry juice (Sambucus nigra) not only stimulates the immune system, but also directly inhibits the influenza virus. The active ingredients in the elderberry were found to halt the spread of the virus by disarming the enzyme responsible for attacking the cell walls.
The study, reported in The Journal of International Medical Research, showed that on average, flu patients given the elderberry extract recovered within 3.1 days compared to 7.1 days for those given the placebo. Researchers found that the patients who took the elderberry extract also had higher levels of antibodies against the flu virus.
A previous study published by The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that nearly 90 per cent of flu patients given elderberry extract were completely free of symptoms within two to three days, as compared to at least six days with a placebo.
Proven protection against influenza
Elderberry has been proven effective against eight different influenza viruses. The study indicated that it may provide protection against a wide range of flu viruses, solving the problem of the “mutating flu”, because most strains of the virus use the same enzyme mechanism to penetrate cells.
High in Vitamin C
Whilst the properties of elders have long been touted, it is not intended that it be taken as a substitute for a flu vaccine. Please consult your doctor.
However, unlike most over the counter cough medications, it does have the benefit of being alchohol and preservative free, has a fabulous taste, and can be safely given to young children.
Elderberry Syrup is very high in Vitamin A and C and bioflavinoids, and may be taken as a prophylactic against winter colds.
Natural Support for Arthritis
The diuretic and anti-inflammatory activity of elderberries helps explain its use in rheumatic and arthritic conditions.
Used in regulating bowel activity.
Elderberries as a syrup have a long-established effect in regulating bowel activity, moderating extremes of diarrhoea and constipation.
Fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica are a superfood. It is rich in selenium, calcium, magnesiun, phosphorous, vitamin C, folic acid, antioxidants, flavonoids and carotenoids. The high levels of selenium in Opuntia are comparable to those found in the Brassicaceae.
The fruit of O. ficus-indica can cause constipation if consumed with the seeds, without the seeds it is laxative
The leaves are an excellent food for cows
Pears are considered a healthy addition to a balanced diet due to their rich nutritional profile and various health benefits. Here are some key reasons why pears are healthy:
Nutritional Content
Pears are a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, copper, potassium, and fiber. They also contain antioxidants such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and anthocyanins.
Gut Health
Pears are high in dietary fiber, which includes both soluble and insoluble fiber. This fiber helps in maintaining healthy gut microbiota, preventing constipation, and supporting regular bowel movements. The fiber content, particularly pectin, aids in softening and adding bulk to stool.
Blood Sugar Management
Pears have a low glycemic index, which means they do not cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. The high fiber content in pears helps slow down the absorption of sugar, making them beneficial for managing and reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes.
Heart Health
The potassium in pears helps lower blood pressure by improving blood flow and reducing the risk of heart disease. Flavonoids and other antioxidants in pears also contribute to reducing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health, lowering the risk of stroke and heart disease.
Bone Health
Pears contain minerals such as copper, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, and boron, which are essential for bone health and can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Weight Management
Pears are low in calories and high in fiber and water content, which helps keep you feeling full and can aid in weight management. Studies have shown that adding fruits like pears to the diet can reduce energy consumption and body weight over time.
Kidney Health
The low sodium content in pears can help prevent kidney disease by aiding in the balance of sodium and water in the body. Additionally, the malic acid in pears may help protect against kidney stones.
Antioxidant Properties
Pears are rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and copper, which help protect against oxidative damage and free radicals. These antioxidants can contribute to reducing the risk of various diseases, including cancer and other inflammatory conditions.
Overall, incorporating pears into your diet can provide a range of health benefits due to their nutrient-dense profile and various bioactive compounds.

The name "Culver's root" derives from a certain Dr. Culver who was a pioneer physician of the 18th century
Veronicastrum virginicum
Culver’s root contains essential oil, phenolic acids, some bitter substances, phytosterol, alkaloids, tannins, mannitol, dextrose, resins, and saponins
The Seneca Indians used the plant in tea form to induce vomiting as a part of purification rituals.
The use of the herb, mostly in moderate doses, as a laxative and detoxifying agent was adopted early on by the European settlers.
Later the herb was used as a remedy for liver diseases and to stimulate bile production. In addition, it was also used to treat malaria and typhoid fever.
Culver’s root was once included in United States Pharmacopoeia but it’s not commonly used today because its strong potency is difficult to control
Culver’s root can affect the liver and gallbladder by increasing the production and secretion of bile, which lubricates the intestines which in turns enhances bowel movements.
The herb is therefore sometimes used as a treatment for chronic constipation, irritation of the intestines and ailments related to the liver and gallbladder such as hepatitis, cholecystitis, jaundice and other conditions which are believed to be caused by poor liver function (eg. some skin diseases).
The herb may also be of value as a remedy for diarrhea, bloating, chronic indigestion, hemorrhoids, and anal prolapse.
Culver’s root is often combined with dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and barberry (Berberis vulgaris).
As a treatment for liver ailments and when used as a remedy for constipation it may be combined with the herb sweet flag (Acorus calamus) and goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis).
Culver’s root usually works best in small doses that are administered repeatedly over an extended period of time.
As a decoction: 1 or 2 teaspoons of the dried rhizome and roots in a cup of cold water which is then brought to boiling point, then simmered for 10 minutes and then strained. 1 cup of the brew can be used three times daily.
As a tincture: 1-2 ml three times a day
High doses of the herb can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Furthermore, as the herb has powerful laxative (purgative) properties it can cause dizziness and bloody stools.

The pills were first manufactured in 1868 when Dr Samuel Carter of Erie, Pennsylvania devised a formula that he thought was 'good for sick headache, torpid liver, indigestion, constipation or what-ails-you'. The formula included podophyllum resin from dried mandrake root combined with dried aloes juice, and bisacodyl as the active ingredient. The pills claimed to cure 'headache, biliousness, constipation, etc.' and are 'strictly vegetable'.

Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium).
From Wikipedia:
"a species of flowering plant in the Lamiaceae family, or mint family, native to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Crushed pennyroyal leaves emits a very strong fragrance similar to spearmint. Pennyroyal is a traditional folk remedy, emmenagogue, abortifacient, and culinary herb. European pennyroyal is related to an American species, Hedeoma pulegioides. Though they differ in genera, they share similar chemical properties.
Documented use of pennyroyal dates back to ancient Greek, Roman, and Medieval cultures. Its name - although of uncertain etymology - is associated with Latin "pulex" (flea) alluding to the manner it was used to drive away fleas when smeared on the body. Pennyroyal was commonly incorporated as a cooking herb by the Greeks and Romans. A large number of the recipes in the Roman cookbook of Apicius called for the use of pennyroyal, often along with such herbs as lovage, oregano and coriander. Although it was commonly used for cooking also in the Middle Ages, it gradually fell out of use as a culinary herb and is seldom used as such today.
Records from Greek and Roman physicians and scholars contain information pertaining to pennyroyal’s medicinal properties, as well as recipes used to prepared it. Pliny the Elder, in his encyclopedia Naturalis Historia (Natural History), described the plant as an emmenagogue, and that it also expelled a dead fetus. Galen only listed pennyroyal as an emmenagogue, as did Oribasius. Roman and Greek writers Quintus Serenus Sammonicus and Aspasia however both agreed that pennyroyal, when served in tepid water, was an effective abortive method. A medical text on gynecology attributed to Cleopatra (though it was never written by her but by a female Greek physician Metrodora) recommends the use of pennyroyal with wine to induce abortions.
In regard to its contraceptive properties, it was referred to in a joking manner in Aristophanes' play “Peace” 421 B.C.. Hermes provides the male character Trygaios a female companion. When Trygaios asks if there would be a problem if she became pregnant, Hermes responds, “Not if you add a dose of pennyroyal.” In a similar manner, in Aristophanes' comedy “Lysistrata,” after a pregnant female character on stage is told to withhold her body sexually from her husband, a slender female character, in comparison to the pregnant woman, is described as “A very lovely land Well croppy, and trimmed and spruced with pennyroyal.”
Early settlers in colonial Virginia used dried pennyroyal to eradicate pests. Pennyroyal was such a popular herb that the Royal Society published an article on its use against rattlesnakes in the first volume of its Philosophical Transactions in 1665. 17th century apothecary and physician Nicholas Culpeper wrote his medical text The English Physitian, mentioning pennyroyal, published in 1652. In addition to its abortive properties, Culpeper recommends its use for other gastrointestinal ailments, such as constipation, hemorrhoids, as well as itching and blemishes to the skin, even toothaches.
Pennyroyal continued to be used up through the 20th and 21st centuries. Its oil is still commercially available today, though little is known about the appropriate dosages for humans. Scientists therefore consider it likely unsafe for use, as it is potentially toxic. Pennyroyal is frequently used as an insecticide and pest repellant.[15] As a pest repellant, it is used to keep fleas away from household animals as well as on humans to ward off gnats and mosquitos. Some flea collars for pets have pennyroyal oil or the herb can be crushed in the lining. Humans have also put crushed pennyroyal stems in their pockets or on their clothing to ward off unwanted insects.[16] However, when using the pennyroyal plant as a pest repellant, the use of the concentrated pennyroyal oil should be avoided. Pennyroyal oil can be extremely toxic to both humans and animals, even in small quantities. With the use of pennyroyal around animals and humans comes the risk of it being absorbed through the skin and causing negative health effects. The less concentrated leaves of the plant should be used instead as an insect repellant.
Pennyroyal has historically also been used as a mint flavoring in herbal teas and foods. Pennyroyal tea has been used for cold relief, fevers, coughs, indigestion, liver and kidney problems and headaches.[17] The fresh or dried leaves of pennyroyal have also been used when treating influenza, abdominal cramps, to induce sweating, as well as in the treatment of diseases such as smallpox and tuberculosis.[18] To make the tea, the leaves of the plant are boiled in hot water. The lower concentration of toxic chemicals in these teas are less harmful than pennyroyal oil. It is recommended that people only drink pennyroyal tea periodically, as it is taxing on the body and should not be drunk on a regular basis. Consumption of pennyroyal tea can be fatal to infants and children.
The pennyroyal plant has also been used as an emmenagogue or perhaps most famously as an abortifacient. Chemicals in the pennyroyal plant cause the uterine lining to contract, causing a woman's uterine lining to shed. Women who struggle with regulating their menstrual cycle or suffer from a cystic ovary syndrome may choose to drink pennyroyal tea. Pennyroyal tea is subtle enough to induce menstrual flow with minimal risk of negative health effects. More concentrated versions of the plant, such as the oil, are much more toxic and will likely force a miscarriage if ingested by a pregnant woman. Since the U.S. Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act in October 1994 all manufactured forms of pennyroyal in the United States have carried a warning label against its use by pregnant women, but pennyroyal is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."
On Saturday, I accompanied my oldest son for some information gathering and window shopping in the city's different bike shops. It was fun. We looked at both used and new. He's interested in participating in a triathlon later this year and needs to get a road bike to train on (he also wants to start riding to school, which I'm not crazy about because we live in a tricky part of the city with traffic and hills). So I guess you could say that's what influenced the sharing of this picture, which I made in Amsterdam last summer.
There are a lot of bikes in Amsterdam! I consider myself a savvy person when it comes to blending but I still had a handful of people tut-tutting at me the night I took this, I kept accidentally walking into bike paths. I found Amsterdam exhilarating but chaotic. I'd dearly like to go back and visit the city, just by itself. We were barely there. It was more of a layover, between Berlin and the UK.
For the chance to walk around and take pictures, I skipped dinner with my family and had nothing to eat later except for some nuts, adding to an epic case of travel-related constipation I'd acquired due to eating like a bird the day before (it was going to be a long train ride, the lavatories on trains are infinitely better than on airplanes but I still just wanted to stay in my seat as much as possible). Later, I was too tired from walking around to go out and find something proper to eat and we had to get up early the next morning and catch another train so I went to sleep with a growly stomach. Surprisingly, these couple of days were the only time during our entire visit to Europe that I had that sort of "problem". As such, Amsterdam stands out in my mind, haha!
I just can't pass one!
Back in my room. Red wine consumed. Started pulling silly poses in to the mirror. Not great photos but some funny expressions!

Jus to check this out.......
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your
foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains
as you can see the heart is on the left foot.
[image: []]
Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it
connects to.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate
here.
This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.
God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk
so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping
these organs activated at all times.
So, keep walking...

Does Your Blood Type Reveal Your Personality?
Accord ing to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there
are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood
types. How do you rate?
*TYPE O*
You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep
striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal,
passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealously
and a tendency to be too competitive.
*TYPE A*
You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are
sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness
and an inability to relax.
*TYPE B*
You're a rugged individualist, who's str aightforwa rd and likes to do
things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any
situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far
and become a weakness.
*TYPE AB*
Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at
ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're
standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

...* DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH*
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up
every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We
publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and
serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been
found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the
following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy,
excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine
diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation,
all eye diseases, womb, cancer and ear nose and throat diseases. *
METHOD OF TREATMENT*
1. As you wake up in the morning *before brushing teeth*, drink 4 x 160ml
glasses of water .....interesting
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink
anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at
the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it
to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others
can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to
cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Ga str ic - 10 days
3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in
the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwa rd s - daily.
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of
treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work
in our life.
Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals
..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while
eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water
will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down
the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed
by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink
hot soup or warm water after a meal.
*
A serious note about heart attacks*: Women should know that not every heart
attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack..
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be
aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they
know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
