Water intoxication
Just discovered yesterday that too much water can be bad for you.Apparently there exists something called water intoxication.A woman in California died of it in a competion organised by a Radio Station and guess what the prize was a Wii.The 28 year old woman entered the competition to win it for her three children.Makes you wonder what people are ready to die for and also just how careless and irresponsible the corporate world can be.
Media reports indicate that a nurse called the station to warn them of the danger sof the competion but her warnings were not aired and the announcers even joked that afterall the candidates had "signed waivers so if anything happened it would be okay"
What to eat
E.coli contaminated salad, carrot juice, recalled chocolate, sea food contains unsafe mercury levels, your municipal supplied water supposedly safe to drink is the same as the one you use to flush your toilet so you need to filter it to make it safe to drink,overcooking food is bad for you, processed foods contain too much sugar, salt and sulphites than is good for you. Does anyone apart from me feel that we are running short and fast of what we can eat and not feel guilty? Are we then to go back to the lifestyle of when our ancestors lived in caves and fire had not been discovered? And Louis Pasteur had not introduced pasteurisation?
ABDL
Well I was going to write something on the adult daycare coming to Montreal that was in the news this week but after googling it, iam too disgusted to write anything on it. I dont even know where to start and then i realised I did not really know anything about it.
Since i do not understand it I wont exhibit my ignorance here. What gives pleasure here i don't get it.Wear diapers and caca and pipi on them!
Can someone please let me know if there is anything called a pleasure-o- meter so I can use to measure mine.Because i may need to expand my hobbies not to be left behind; going by the amount of info on the net on this practice I am surprised I never heard of it before.
Nice to be free and to doodle around came across this myspace spot a young aspiring rapper in California. A host of others are doing it too.Who knows where they might be tomorrow.There is some talent in there for sure.Interesting to listen to.Some rap I can listen to at last.Listen at www.myspace.com/ganstarobot .Refreshing. As Rie the rapper says the songs 'do haunt your brain' like a well done commercial.

Are you my wife
I am reading this funny guy's site
www.areyoumywife.com and I am thinking how can I make him a very unique offer. I am older than him so( but I don't know what he thinks about that) I am out of the game may be I can hook him up with one of my sisters or cousins or something but it has to be a very interesting date. Yeah, I am going to try and think up something and see which one of those girls accept the invitation.
He is really funny to have come up with this original. Just shows how Canadians are unique. I love this country. Just reminds me of the daily dancer from Vancouver.
Since I am not married myself may be I should come up with a similar idea it might widen my circle of contacts and you never know.
Milk
I have done abit of reading on milk of late and discovered interesting things. It seems that pasteurised milk is not good anymore for us. I grew up knowing that that was the way to go. For some time now I have been searching on the internet to see if I could by whole milk in Montreal but I have not been able to find any. I wonder if anyone knows where I could buy whole milk.
I have had to settle for organic milk ( from maxi) which I find as close to the whole milk I was used to back in Kenya. I use a lot of milk and I think the predictions about pasteurised milk are true as I find a big difference in the taste and also in the way my body reacts to it-- I think regular milk contains way too much 'chemicals' (or is it the pasteurising process?)for anyone's good. I did try an experiment- I used regular milk for two months then went back to organic. Big difference with regular milk my face broke out, I was more tired, the taste was not very good and I felt that I tended to put on weight when using regular milk( because of all the toxins in there?). With the organic milk I had less of these symptoms and the longer I used it, the better it got.
On
www.mercola.com Dr. Mercola recommends unpasteurised milk obtained from cows that feed purely on grass as the best milk to take. No wonder milk back home tasted so good!
Elsewhere I have come across arguments that blame milk for many health problems. In Kenya ( and especially among the pastoral communities) we drink milk day and night - in tea/coffee, whole, with or to finish meals and we have never had any problems. Indeed milk might be the 'secret weapon' of many of our record breaking athletes. Scientists are already investigating this fact. For me, I still believe milk is a nutritious drink and I will keep drinking until someone presents me the facts to the contrary.
Translation
I am not a translator but i suspect this is not correct. Seen in the Metro in French " Quicongue actionne les freins 'inutilement' sera....." and the English "Anyone who uses the brakes 'uselessly' will be ....". Just wondering.....
Africa is not the dark continent - news
Africa is not the dark continent - newsYet another meeting on African development without the real answers - don't give money to the men in the capital cities to steal and save it in American dollars in off-shoe accounts- give it to the women in the village atleast they will make sure the future generation is fed and educated. They don't have need for the latest SUVs to show-off to their girlfriends( there are no roads to drive them on in the first place) nor do they appreciate Armani and co. their needs are simple but the work they do is what Africa needs.
