Got the Bike Ready for The Century!!
Sooooooo....why'd you buy it, Grantie? Okay, I WASN'T going to take time to research this, but I got sucked in...whiiiiiich is the only sucking going on when it comes to this product, it seems. Because based on what I can find, it ain't sucking nothing out of your feet. I guess paying 20 bucks for one kinda sucks, but not as much as paying $1000, which is what this guy did for his video series on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq6m1nnhU1E I found his explanation echoed here: "Much controversy has erupted over the ion cleanse and its claims. Independent scientists from the Bad Science column in the Guardian Newspaper took on the ion cleans' claims and came up with these results. When the water was tested after the foot bath, no human waste products such as urea or creatine were found in the remaining water, as would be seen by any chemicals being drawn from the body. All that was found was an increased level of iron. This find allowed the scientists to explain why the water really changed colors. It was not the toxins from the body that caused the color change, it was actually corrosion of the iron electrodes in the foot bath. Since the water is electrolyzed, it increases the rate in which the iron on the electrodes corrodes. This releases ferric oxide, or rust, into the water turning it a yellow or brown color." http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4793576_ion-cleanse-… You can read the same thing from a number of different sources. Here's a pretty blonde smartypants on eBay, for example: http://reviews.ebay.com/Scam-the-real-story-behin… I've also been curious about those foot PADS for a while. So I found this: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Stossel/Story?id=463… Now let me point out that I'm a holistic/alternative medicine loving person. I saw my chiropractor yesterday, in fact. I don't know how I lived without the man! If it weren't for him, I'd probably have had to quit my job by now due to pain. I did just that back in 2001, when I could no longer stand the constant agony. My back guy keeps me functioning. I'm also a user of herbal remedies, especially St. John's Wort and Arnica Montana, each of which I use every day. (Best place to purchase these and other remedies/supplements, IMO is http://swansonhealth.com/ -- Dirt cheap and dynamite specials!) These foot thingys, however? http://www.wisopinion.com/blogs/dailytakes/balone… :)— April 17, 2010 8:30 p.m.

I kinda wondered when I went down there why the Yellows obviously controlled that prime area at the border. I would've taken a cheaper Blue&White/Brown&White, but there were none handy. :/— April 17, 2010 7:15 p.m.

Mean Kitties Do Rule Peanut Butter Jelly Rap
Heehee. The first one is cute for about THE FIRST 30 SECONDS. Little repetitive, ain't it there, nanners? As for the Mean Kitty (Sparta), I've been following him and his owner Corey "Mr. Safety" Williams and Corey's fiancee/wife Stephanie for a couple years now. Even watched their wedding. Here's Sparta (and Loki's) channel: http://www.youtube.com/my_subscriptions?pi=0&ps=2… And here's Corey's April Fool's video (starring Loki): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRCdO_yGYi4 :)— April 16, 2010 7:59 p.m.

The (Not So) Early Daze, part 11
Aw, Dadler. This is the first I've read of yours. You're a sweet soul. :) Your "Date Night" sounds funny as hell. I'm sorry you couldn't get it produced. Perhaps you'll find some new energy for it sometime, retitle, and try again? As for your new little girl, severe behavior problems result from severe abuse. I'm sure you know this. Perhaps you could prepare Eli for the possibility of inappropriate behavior by T? He sounds like a lovely, compassionate boy. If you explain that T has been hurt very badly by other people and may be confused about certain things and ways to behave, Eli will probably react in ways that will continue to make you proud. Help him to define his role by giving him an invitation to become her leader and protector -- her big brother. That's my smartass advice anyways, childless as I am. :) Good luck to you in this wonderful thing you and your family are doing for T. She's a very lucky little girl.— April 16, 2010 7:33 p.m.

I'll never tell. ;) BTW, Vodka IS Atkins compliant, for those watching their waistline. Damn I love that diet. :)— April 16, 2010 6:43 p.m.
