<> this is a gate topped with hooks and spikes. It is designed to keep thieves and the like from trying to bust in on this persons status. These gates exist everywhere in the Philippines and in most "developping" nations. For every gated community , there are several shanty towns. Gated communities are patrolled by a guarding station where all cars are monitored in and out. The guard is payed by the residents to keep out the perceived dangerous people.


On the other side of the gate they usually have live-in servants and guard dogs in cages. Sometimes the servants go berserk and theive and kill.

But hey, at least someone gets to be driven around in a Mercedez and never has to lift a finger in the kitchen.

I don't know what it's like to be a person in the "3rd world", whether poor or rich.
I do know what it's like to live in a conquered world that has been divided into market categories: age, race, income, education....

these divisions are a disgrace to our ancesters who not too long ago, had ways of solving problems by sharing their burdens and ideas.
Nowadays we trust ever corrupt goverment officials to do this problem solving for us.

there are better thing I want to talk about. Good things and good people. Positive change and glimmers of hope. But you wont fully appreciate any of that until you face the truth.

watch out for this sht kids!

Bunnies will eat your carrots!

Why do you need carrots?
Because they contain beta-carotene. Ever heard of VitaminA? beta-carotene is like a vegetable source of it.
What does it do for you?
Eating these carrots will keep all of your skin healthy for one, especially the lining of your nostrils and throat,(attention smokers and druggies!at least compensate.) and the prisms that catch light and enable vision. Especially night-vision. Superheroes take heed of my advice. You can't be a sneezing, sniffling, bumbling fool when you're trying to be stealth.

A sign of a good man is when he's nice to kids/ also when he's good to his momma.
No question.

water filtration how-to

what you need to do is mix some clay with coffee grinds, mold it into a cylinder with one capped end, place it on a dung-heap and light the shit on fire. This "fires" the clay like a kiln. The coffee grinds get burned out leaving a structure of pores that are small enough to let water pass through, but too small for the passage of E.coli etc.

This is a low-tech, low-cost method of filtering water.

Boycott listings: just the beginning

Hey-lo, if anyone reads me, I shall like to share a list of suggested boycotts.

First on the list: T.V. dinners: no nutritional value, environmentally rude, depot of chemical companies byproducts. Consumption that keeps people numb and dumb. Contributes to a weak and defenceless body, and mind.

Anti-perspirant: active ingredient Aluminum. Clogs pores in a Lymphatic zone. The hair there means you can rest assured we were designed to sweat from our armpits. The aluminum may seep into the lymph...links to Alzheimer's, other ingredients are petrochemical.

Petrochemical ingredients in general: avoid! if you do not suport war for oil, don't use the war's dirty little products. Do not eat them in your food, wear them in your clothing or apply them to your bodies. don't ingest them as "medicine". a list of the known petrochemical infiltrators is forthcoming. This is all off the top of me head.

Please read all ingredients labels. In general they should be very simple, especially when it's food. Most words should be recognizable. in the case of shampoos, etc..the ingredients are tricky. But a quick google can answer your questions.

I need robotic help

could my dishes just do themselves? could the meals plan and prepare themselves? could a robotic kitchen be the answer to my woes? I, nutritionist, spend hours in the kitchen each day. I insist on cooking all of my own meals save maybe one per week. I am broke so I have to. This is fine, I plan ahead, I make pots of soup, I soak beans....I have some tricks. But you know, it's damn hard doing it for someone else as well. Breakfast lunch and dinner for two everyday. I have become a working wifey. I need time to tap on my keyboard and ramble through interesting links online. I need time to finish my art projects that are stewing and stewing dry. I absolutely need time to develop my plan of action, the best one I have had my whole life....
