Speaking of oatmeal, I'm a big fan of it during the colder months. I had been buying a diabetic friendly recipe and not thinking about it. That's the problem... I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT. I have major migraines. Like, they go on for days, type of migraines. So yesterday I finally read the ingredients on the box because I'm looking for food triggers. The artificial sweetener in it is a big trigger for me, and I had been poisoning myself for months. I feel stupid. I know to look for sweeteners and all that in foods, but because it was steel cut oatmeal, I assumed everything was peachy. Sigh. So I bought new oatmeal that isn't sweetened with anything weird, it's steel cut, and organic. It's cinnamon plum and very tasty. Cinnamon is good to keep glucose levels in check, so that's something.

I had a dream last night that I got a text message from a friend I haven't spoken to in years, and all the message said was "There's been accidental reproduction".
I didn't know if that meant that she was pregnant, or if the new species she was breeding in her science lab broke out of containment and was reproducing. Because she had a science lab. I don't know why or how, but she had one.
So the majority of the dream was spent trying to figure out which one she meant, until I finally ran into her at a grocery store and asked her, and she told me all she meant was that the moldy lasagna in her fridge had duplicated itself. She was really angry that good food hadn't multiplied.
I woke up feeling like...WAT?

Eating gummy bears is a bad idea ANY time of the day. They're gross.
One of the ingredients of that candy is gelatine, which is made from animal carcases.
So good thing you kicked that habit...

zeroturbulence: Sounds like most of the forums I've been on. 99% drivel, 1% what I want to read. Why do you think I hide out here so much?
For me the 99% drivel goes way beyond online forums (and CC is the only one I participate in)..
its also the increasingly horrific stories in the news, the conflicts in the world, the global economic issues, the volatility of the stock market, the political polarization in our country (a.k.a., liberals vs. conservatives), young men and women using the F word in public during normal conversation like its nothing, people being callous, insensitive and rude in public, people running red lights, driving with their lights off, crabby and ungrateful store employees, the huge lack of common decency that's almost everywhere, etc...
Yea, I know... some will say that I'm just getting old, but others including me might believe its 2 Timothy 3 coming to life as we speak..
2 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV:
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

well, honey is antibacterial, so that makes sort of sense (it is used to treat nasty wounds)
as said, it has to be local, and I dont see how one can do that in ie the throat

Well, some Dr. Oz Duchess turned out to be.... I guess we'll never know wwjd. I did, however, use your advice in a practical application! Since it's antibacterial, I rubbed a bunch of honey on my hands and I have to say - not only are they free of germs, I can pick up practically anything! Paper, pens - literally I don't even have to grip anything! Look a here - I can even pick up a stapler!

Came across this in the late morning and got a kick out of it:

Is it possible to dig this recipe back up?
! I had actually gone back to get it an hour-ish before you asked . I had asked him how to make it since I had seen him mention eating it previously, and he was kind enough to do so. Here's the post in which he gives the glorious recipe, which I intend to try for myself in its entirety VERY soon!
It's ironic to me that Islam, the world religion seemingly most notorious for standing in opposition to religious freedom, is much more welcomed and accepted in secular and post-Christian culture (aka the United States and many European countries) than is Christianity or even Judaism, world religions much more friendly to and even supportive of religious liberty.
This is on my mind after hearing today that Duke University, a private, secular university that removed a Chik-fil-a restaurant from its grounds after its owner voiced public support for biblical/traditional marriage, is now going to regularly sound a Muslim call to prayer across its campus every Friday.
This isn't meant to be a doom-and-gloom post, but rather a statement of the irony of the situation and my own lack of surprise at the double-standards that Christianity faces.

Though cinnamon does have some wonderful anti bacterial/viral properties. As it always goes, you just gotta let the cold run its course. And putting the mixture in chamomile tea is even better!
You can also use cinnamon and honey (and if you want, add a little lemon) and use it as a bit of an immune booster/preventative measure against colds. Not 100% guaranteed to work, but it really can't hurt. I need to go grab some raw local honey...
Honey and cinnamon isn't a magic potion, but it's one of the more useful mixtures out there, and it never hurts to always have those two things in your house.

I gave my son yogurt for a snack. He was doing fine with it, so I started washing dishes. After a few minutes, I heard what I thought was a belch...I shook my head and kept doing dishes. Another minute later, my son said, "Mom! I PUKED!" So of course I came running.
I tried to find out if he was sick, if he felt okay, all of that. He said, "I'm fine. I just put the spoon down my throat."
Oh.
I asked him why he would do that. He said, "To see what would happen. Because I'm a MAD SCIENTIST! MUAHAHA!"
...the results of this "experiment" were that he got to learn how to clean up puke.
I. can't. even.
*facepalm*
