I am asking the Lord for a Pox on Harold Camping.

My Predictions (based on Bible study, research, historical documents, quality time spent with my drums, and the input of our beagle):
1.Harold Camping and The Rapture Crew will be singing "I'm Still Standing" by Elton John at this time tomorrow.
2. His actions will have succeeded in turning more people away from the notion of God and the beliefs of Christianity than any atheist to date; up to and including removing prayer from school, Bill Maher's movie and the efforts of South Park et al.
3. Harold will release an explanation and give us a new date to be afraid of, e.g. a button was stuck on his calculator, the dawg ate his homework, etc.

My Hopes (based on little, except a wish for Cosmic Justice with or without the help of comic book sooperheroes):
1. A Biblical plague will visit Harold Camping (I am thinking sore boils or diaper rash) for the fear and division he has sown.
2. That there may be a similar, but friendlier, pox on all the publications and billboard companies who took his money to spread his message. The love of money is the root of all evil.

Olive oil and lemon juice gallstone cleanse works!

May 29, 2011 - This post has been up since June 2008. I am amazed at the number of people who read it. There are several hundred page views every month. Please take the time to read the various comments after my post. In addition to some success stories, I have been diligent to put up comments from people who don't agree with my thinking and/or experience on this matter. My purpose in writing this was NOT to try to convince others to do what I did, but rather to share my experience. Anyway - since doing this I have not had any further issues with gallstones or pain (knock on wood, toss salt over my shoulder, etc. etc.). I am not trying to replace a visit to the doctor, just sharing what I did and inviting others to share their experience - even when it does not line up with mine. January 8, 2012 - the comments and readers keep coming. I thought I should mention one more thing. If you take the time to read all the comments you will find some variations on the recipe I followed. I...

A blog called SuperForest and saving seeds.

Don't cha love the interweb? You can find the coolest people out there. One day whilst surfing around I found a blog called Super Forest. What a great combination of uplifting stuff along with challenges to do better by our planet. Super Forest is very much behind the Millennium Seed Bank. What is that, says you? From Wikipedia: "The Millennium Seed Bank Project is an international conservation project coordinated by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew . Launched in the year 2000... its purpose is to provide an "insurance policy" against the extinction of plants in the wild by storing seeds for future use. The storage facilities consist of large underground frozen vaults preserving the world's largest collection of seeds.In April 2007 it banked its billionth seed, the Oxytenanthera abyssinica, a type of African bamboo." Anyway - the folks at Super Forest are raising awareness and raising funds to save one seed. Read about them here: http://www.superforest.org...

A review of Terro ant bait vs Raid - Terro wins big time.

Image
We always get some ants in the late spring/early summer at our house. It is an annual tradition. Usually they are around for a week or two and then they take off for parts unknown. This year they must have decided our house is a very, very, very fine house indeed. Found them in the sugar, they massed in the dishwasher, but when I poured out a few dozen of them along with my cereal one morning, I knew I had to draw a line in the sugar. Time to poison the little bastiges. On my weekly visit to the grocery store I was looking for ant killer and was trying to find a bottle of Terro liquid. The ONLY thing they stocked was the Raid Ant Bait thingies pictured here: Since I had no choice, I bought some. I bought two boxes of 4 and followed the instructions by putting them in the ant paths I could see. Put one under the sink, up by the sugars, in the cereal cupboard, one in the corner in the dishwasher (with just 2 of us in the house now we only run it every 4-5 days) and several alon...
