Finally...Something is Working!
After I got sick this last time, I went to my neighborhood herbal supplements store and told her about my problem with getting sick every year during the winter for 3 months. She gave me 3 herbal immune boosters to take. I can only remember the name of one of them right now. It is ARA-Larix RX-Immune. She said it is the single best thing you can take for your immune system and practically no one knows about it. So, that and the other two things that I started taking seem to be working. Thank God. Two of them are from the Nature's Sunshine brand of herbal supplements. I kicked a cold that could have, and was about to, get a lot worse and I did it in 2 weeks. Not 3 months. Just 2 weeks. The people that gave it to me are still recovering from it!
So, I will continue taking the immune boosters, possibly for the rest of my life and, hopefully, I won't get sick anymore this year...including my regular Bronchitis season starting in October or November! Wish me luck!

Hold On To Your Lunch!
Don't say I didn't warn you!
No, she isn't dead. She threw herself at him and he rested his face on her. These two have an unnatural love! And, it makes me nauseous it is so sugary sweet!
One of The Best Good For You Drinks I Have EVER Had!
I have successfully limited my soda in take for the past year or so. I mostly drink water (Fruit20 Tropical flavor) with a Venti Sugar-Free Vanilla Breve Latte in the AM to get my mind working. Occasionally I will indulge in a Diet Coke or a Coke Zero. But, I pretty much prefer to stay away from the sodas now because it messes up my sleep patterns and my hormones during that once a month business. So, the hubby and I were at Doc Greens (a salad bar restaurant) this weekend. I couldn't help but notice how appealing this drink looked just by the bottle. So, I got this one and the hubby got a Raspberry one. They were so good! They are loaded with vitamins and so high on flavor that my mouth waters just thinking about it!
This one is the Banana Colada and it took me back to Cancun where I had Pina Coladas almost every day. All the refreshing beachy flavor of a Pina Colada without the drunkenness and potential hangover!

A 4. 8 On a Sliding Scale
I finished "Sleep No More" by Greg Iles. Here is the thing, it took until about page 80 for it to really start to pick up. Then, it was on the move. Really intriguing and I was really looking forward to seeing how it would end. There were a few predictable bits and pieces in it. Then came the end. Basically it was like sex without an orgasm. Getting there was fun but the ending was a huge disappointment. Given that this is my blog, I choose to rate this book on a sliding scale where I break it down by portion. The rating system is between 1 and 10 with 10 being the best. The portions are Beginning, Middle and End. Beginning = 3 Middle = 9 End = 2.5 The average here would then be a 4.8. That is not a screaming endorsement if you ask me. The best part of this book was the cover art. I don't tend to pay that much attention to the cover art on a book. Really, it is usually the author that will catch my attention. Then, I would have to say that a title will catch my attention. The summary means a lot to me if I am unfamiliar with the author. The cover art barely registers. This one did. It is really eye catching. I guess they needed an eye catching cover to make up for the less than stellar ending. The thing that bothers me is the high praise that Stephen King gave is all over the cover and pages of the inside of the book. I didn't notice his praises until after I had already purchased it but, after I read them, I was understandably excited to start reading it. I guess it just goes to show that fame can't buy taste.

The FCC Has An Itchy Finger...
I was watching MTV the other day and the video of for Teenager by My Chemical Romance came on. They censored the crap out of that song. Or, should I say...They censored the shirt out of that song? You'll know why in a moment.
So, they censored the shit out of "Teenagers scare the living shit out of me". Fine! I get that. Then they censored the gun out of "Because they sleep with a gun." Given that there were some school shootings on or around that day, I can forgive them that. But, there is a line in the song that goes, "but if you're troubled and hurt, what you got under your shirt, will make them pay for the things that they did". Can you guess which word they censored out of that line? I'll give you a hint, I eluded to it above.
SHIRT! They censored the word SHIRT out of it! Are you kidding me with this "SHIRT"? What the heck is wrong with the word SHIRT? Are they going to censor the object in public too? If we can't say it, we certainly shouldn't be allowed to wear them either.
SHIRT SHIRT SHIRT!
Watch out, I am about to say something else potentially vulgar...SWEATER! Gasp! The nerve! Such a potty mouth!

Sorry! I Don't Mean to Be Neglectful!
I am just really struggling again with another cold and haven't felt like posting.
