Juice spelled with a C


Hey, I wanna be around for my Grandaughters birthday. Haley will be one on August 2. Take my word, she's a cutie
Anyhow, back to the blog, eh ?
I stopped in at my friend Joe’s a few weeks ago and we poured a coffee and got ourselves all fired up over the big “C” mystery. What causes the big C? Where does it come from? Who spoons it out?? All our lost friends, relatives, loves, workmates, and on and on and on.

Joe says its all them chemicals, and preservatives, and additives, and sugar, and over eating, and over weight, and poor health, and on and on and on.

Well, I don’t know about that, but since I was there I asked what he planned to do about it?

Juice, he said.

HUH? Whaddya mean juice (I had just shipped him a discarded juicer I had left with Mom and Dad back at the farm from my vegetarian days). That’s your answer, JUICE?

Yup, he insisted. He had discovered some old journals on natural diets that had some amazing results in stemming illness that had been suppressed by medicine and pharmaceutical conglomerates, according to him. If you haven’t guessed, Joe is big on conspiracy theories. That’s your big cure for the big “C” I said.

Anyhow, my coffee stop ended that morning with me on the scale weighing in at 239 plus pounds and filling up on a sealer of juice and heading off to work with a bag full of strawberries, bananas, lemons and peaches for the day. I figured what the heck, let’s give it a shot for a few days and stay away from processed food and additives and sweets.

Wasupp with that, well Ill tell you, a week later and I scaled in at 232 plus pounds (I know, I know its still portly, never mind, I will keep going). I dropped seven pounds and never altered my routine except to munch on fruit and juice and water, instead of munchies and coca-cola. Gadzooks, I live in the middle of greenhouse utopia and the roadside fruit and veggie stands are more prevalent than slurpees and 7-11s in Winnipeg, skeeters, or lightening at the Forks.

My most enjoyable moment after all the dam water drinking and juice flushing and fruit munching and veggie gorging was telling my beloved Val, I had lost 7 pounds after all weeks bohemian dieting, and she answered, “you never lost it, Monkey Boy, I found it”. If you haven’t guessed, I like to tease.

Boy, will she be P/Ode when she reads this blog post. Ha Ha, C Ya soon

Driving down the road to Kingsville the other day, my beloved Val seemed quite unsettled about the fact that we were, soon, passing by her 40th birthday and zooming in on Xmas and there was no snow to be seen anywhere in our neighbourhood. Now, that really is not all that unusual in our neck of the woods, but she seemed right agitated. Never really gave it much tought, but, while in Montreal this week, I snapped a pic from my hotel window towards Westmount, and, "loe and behold" it is December 17 and ne'er a flake to be seen. Have a peek, see? It occurred to me , as well, I called my folks in Winnipeg a few days ago, and they reported the weatherman was forecasting rain. RAIN.........RAIN. Be still my heart, well Santa really has arrived, when folks in Winnipeg are not freezing their butts off in December. Or has he??? Can you beleive that? Now I dont recall the last time I did not have a white Xmas, but I do want one. It just dont seem Kosher to have Xmas without snow

Does health insurance satisfy Investors or Customers (patients)?

I just cannot imagine Canadian politics ever getting as entertaining, nor as ugly, as US governance. Have you caught any of these town hall meetings on health care? I would have never believed people would get so covertly hoodwinked in believing free medical services sponsored by democratic administrations are an infringement of liberty and freedom. The hostility reminds me of my experiences in Union halls filled with angry workers at negotiation time, revving up their emotions to strike an employer, who has been brutally denigrating their work lives and workplaces.......when its for free health care, in terms of the benefits for all Americans in renewing the value of all the money that is appropriated within the insurance industries interests. I heard an sample of an media clip on a US radio, with a supposedly Canadian terminally ill patient pleading she had to wait 6 months for ANY MEDICAL ATTENTION. As a Canadian, I have never waited 6 months for any medical attention including the

Killer food at Big Boys on I-75 in Monroe County

How have you been? The week went fast for me since my last post. The week was filled with visiting with my buddy from Vancouver, as I reported in my last post, after he dried out. We did some touring so Gerry could get an idea about the county of Essex and we spent one day in Windsor and stopped by the Thunder Road Harley Davidson dealer and the Caesar's Casino for a spell. With my beloved Val's help, I walked away with a $2.40 (she doubled my $1.20 jackpot..LOL) windfall from the penny machines. I had wished for a week of good weather to compensate for the wash-out our guest had been welcomed with on his ride through Detroit, and my wishes were answered for the most part. Gerry is not much of a "yard-bird" but we had good enough weather for patio lounging everyday for Val and I, in the morning, while Da Gar performed his "rituals" (the term Gerry uses to refer to his computer antics). He routinely surfs the websites that his gamer tendencies insist, and sha
