The Biggest Green Mistake - Biofuels and the global food crisis
Reason ^ | April 8, 2008 | Ronald Bailey

Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2008 1:40:45 PM by neverdem

In the last year, the price of wheat has tripled, corn doubled, and rice almost doubled. As prices soared, food riots have broken out in about 20 poor countries including Yemen, Haiti, Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, Ivory Coast, and Mexico. In response some countries, such as India, Pakistan Egypt and Vietnam, are banning the export of grains and imposing food price controls.

Whew!

What do you get when you work your fingers to the bone???

Bony Fingers!

And I bet your fingers are starting to get pretty Bony!!!

Dang! Granny! Don't keep typing if your fingers start bleeding!!!

Now, speaking of printing... Have you found a recipe for Printer Ink yet?

LOL!

When you do, You gonna be one rich Granny!

All of what your doing is going to eventually go to CD! It's the only way I'm going to be able to keep all of it together! Much for me to learn there!

Went to town today. Stopped at WalMart, they had one breadmaker, a sunbeam that was $43 dollars...didn't like the look of it, so still slowly pricing and comparing!

I hope your still getting your naps with all this work!

In my near decades work in emergency medicine, one of the best things you should have on hand, at all times is Betadine.

It is the brown anti septic that when you came into my ER that we would lavish on your lacerations, punctures, prior to scrubbing the wound out and suturing (stiches). Not for those allergic to iodine!

Great stuff... though a tad expensive, it can be bought OTC.

It's equal, drop for drop to %1 iodine, without the burn. Not for internal use of course!

No medkit should be without it!

Now is the time for ALL of us to make sure the family is up on their Tetanus shots (and all other immunizations). 'Ol Lockjaw (tetanus) is a deadly, nasty disease, that one shot should be good for 5-7 years. Though I hear that may be outdated... (geez, I last worked ER in '79, so MANY things I knew may not be so now!)

Another thing you should have around is Adolph's meat tenderizer... It contains "Papaine" which comes from the papaya fruit. We used it to quickly bring down the swelling from insect bites etc. Just add a little water to it and make a paste, and slosh it on the bite(s)... Works Great!
