I’m glad Tinker is OK, at least.
Hi, Mr. moose! Maybe we should grow beetroots, juice them and use the fiber in some sort of nutritious baked product? This will require research. I admire your self discipline. I try but succumb to the temptation of making doughnuts and cream pies. *sigh*
Tahiti.
Lol!

Resist, resist we much.... :)
From what i understand of the effect on the system ,it is the whole Veg that is required for the effects on the B.P.
I drink the whole-veg-juice (organic) and eat the Veg.
So hard the pin the tail on the Donkey.
Me mum said that when she tried to feed me strained beets, she got them right back in her face. (Sorry, Mom!) Fortunately, tastebuds mature.
My ‘Baby revenge weapon’ was Lamb.
A Crack shot too by all accounts.
did he coin the term “boob tube”? That TV gravitates to the lowest common denominator? ~ GeronL
The Boob Tube, it's what babies watch...
Afternoon! I had to take Tom to school because Bill’s out in the car all day. Then I had a choir practice, and then went back for Tom. I picked up a couple of canteloupes. 65 and on/off rain.
We’ll go to the library after I eat. Pat has a bunch of reserve books in.
Hmmmm.....This is what I found!
Now all I need to do is find a place that sells the juice...

GAH! You’re always talking about something to eat...
My first thought:
Too bad Elvis didn't get into politics.
My second?
Bruce Campbell is still around...
He said TV was a "vast wasteland". This was in a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters on May 9, 1961. He was right then; he's even more correct today.
But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, profit and-loss sheet or rating book to distract you--and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western badmen, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence and cartoons. And, endlessly, commercials --many screaming, cajoling and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.
Anything to take the focus off the never-ending list of scandals that the Imposter In Chief has the starring role in...
My list of herbal remedies is growing. I will now check on the availability of cayenne pepper capsules and beet juice...I’ve GOT to get the BP down!
Did all Pat’s books come in?
Yes, the whole set of “Big Nate” books. James and Vlad can read them this weekend while Pat’s camping with the Boy Scouts.
Cayenne capsules are available at Walmart. They feel like you’ve swallowed hot coals. Beetroot, of course, is a widely known remedy, and you can also use it to dye your clothes.
My mother always said, when she was using the grater on any fruit or vegetable, “If the juice is red, it’s beet juice!”
I will check Walmart for the cayenne capsules. The Walmart I walk to isn’t very big, so I may have to go to the one across the freeway. Still, it’s nice to know!
And I checked iherb.com for beetroot juice, and it is a little expensive, but I figure if I drink a glass a week, I should be OK...I hope the recommended dosage isn’t any higher or I’ll be broke forever!
Of course, like anything else, I want to get started “NOW” but will wait. :o] Rome wasn’t built in a day, and all!
I take cayenne powder, in water, and it makes my stomach feel much better, actually! When the tummy hurts, I hit the cayenne first, then the ginger and chamomile tea, and if that doesn’t help the ulcers, then I go to the Ulcer Cocktail.
Even though Tax-Chick didn’t like my story I will persevere and continue to write. I have a whole bunch of old stories that need to be finished and I am starting on those.
If I am ever going to get one or two long enough to try and sell them to Kindle users I need to get mashing on that keyboard.
Ya know?...
I get a lot of REALLY GOOD stories on my Kindle, and I can write LOTS of reviews!
(I’ve been reading since I was three years old. I mean, we lived in Alaska...what else was there to do...?)
