Wagging the Tail / Chicken or The Egg

It just kind of hit me between the eyes............ We all know how the gun and ammo rush that happens occasionally just sends everyone in a tailspin.
 I got to thinking that maybe all the terror of the taking away of guns and no ammo around is deliberately done.
Look at how much money it generates in the economy!
With shipping, manufacturing and online or store sales. If you stop and think about it that is one of the quickest most effective way to get money flowing in the economy. Sure there are legitimate reasons for going out and getting all that fun stuff but it is like a shark feeding frenzy.
Same goes for the long term food storage. Also a good legitimate reason to have on hand.
Both of these things have very good reasons to have on hand.
Both of these things are needed badly in a bad economy and with the world upside down.
Still if you looked at when sales are the best it is during a bad economy. Is that because of folks realizing how bad things can get?
I really have to wonder who or what is wagging the tail here.
The economy is in the tank so lets gin them up and get them spending money..... put a little fear out there! Not only that it is so much easier to control and distract the populus at the same time we might even be able to sneak a few things by they don't notice.
It is a win win all the way around. (For Them)

Lymphatic System----- Forgotten Healing Tool

   Seems as we get older I run across more people with health issues. Some are very serious some are just frequently miserable. They sometimes are sent to me or just happen to find me for help. I am not a doctor. I can't tell a person to do this or that to feel better. But what I can do if they ask is to send them information on the net they may be interested in. If they find something they want to try they can always ask their health care person about it. Docs can't keep up with everything so it never hurts to research your ailment and check it out with them. 
  This subject is the kind of thing that can make most anyone feel better whether your sick or healthy. 
 
The link to the article below the story is a little strangely written. So I put the gist of it below.
The lymphatic system is forgotten a lot of times when we are dealing with our health. Maybe because we have so many other parts of the body screaming at us . LOL
    I am sure there are many different ways of doing it. Even though this is very gentle the way the video is showing it I am sure a good general massage can accomplish much the same thing if done with the lymphatic system in mind.
   Don't forget to look at many of the other videos on the right and see how other people do it.
   What is nice about this videos method is that it is so gentle, like petting your cat in your lap that even though you have some age on you it doesn't take a lot of strength to accomplish this. So .......... spouses............ partners ..... whatever......... give it a try. Make it a routine once a month or more. See if you feel better.

In exploring the primary cause of any degenerative disease, you learn much about how to reverse every degenerative disease. As a matter of fact, once you learn how to speed-heal a smashed finger, you can then apply the same types of techniques to assist the healing process of virtually any other part of the body as well. In either of these cases, it's merely a matter of preventing or reversing a state of morbidity.
Dr. C. Samuel West wrote a book titled The Golden Seven Plus One, which details the science of lymphatic effectuation as a result of the following claim:
Every degenerative disease involves blockages to the circulation. Whether these blockages precede or follow an insult to tissues, the result is the same. The name of the disease may only serve to tell us where the blockages are located.
Like natural death, degenerative diseases are simply states of localized morbidity. Discoveries that reveal how the body recovers from a morbid state are not taught in any medical schools in such a way that "puts two and two together." (The facts regarding the healing process may have originated in medical research, but they have reached the public from outside the system.)
The keys to enabling the body to heal itself are simple, yet they are as advanced as nature itself. The basic life (and healing) process in any tissues of the body is made possible by many essential services being performed by our blood and lymphatic systems. Every day, there are numerous things (mental, nutritional and physical) we do that influence the intimate relationship between these two systems.
Most natural healing practices work by helping the lymphatic system eliminate blockages and more. Try learning and applying some of these techniques as soon as possible and begin to "heal thyself" today.

Dead Cows, July 4th, Craziness in General

    Yesterday we had to go out of town and we left the gate so the fuel man could still get in a fill the gas tank. On the way out the man called and said he got stuck in out yard down at the barn. Don't know how he managed, even he said he backed into it wrong. We called the local helper and got lucky he was still close to our house. He got the John Deere tractor and pulled him out. He got really close to the fence with is front bumper and that means he was way the heck off course!
It is already a busy day this Thursday. Checked the cows. Saw a coyote party feasting on a cow that died a couple days ago. Not often you see them in the day light 2-3 at a time. Pretty cool. Normally something like that we like to keep thinned out of the area since there are so many but I told hubby to leave them alone and let them be the clean up crew. I had one of those moments about then and wondered if coyotes like to roll around in dead stuff the way dogs do. I bet they like their what I call "doggie perfume" as much as the dogs do.  Just never have seen that yet.
      Don't know exactly what happened to the cow. One day everyone was fine then we skipped a day of feeding and then she was dead on the next feed day.  There was a tree not too far off and we have had some thunderstorms and lightning. We wonder if the lightning got her. By the next feed morning when we found her she was already so bloated if was nasty. Hubby usually looks for bullet holes. It is too stinky to be there much, we didn't think to look for burn marks. Then again she was a very big 1200 - 1500 lb. cow. Very pregnant and with all this heat and humidity it is entirely possible she could have just keeled over from the weather.
    So the rest of the day was spent soothing a panic attack trying to find someone to bale and wrap about 150 large round bales of hay for us. Our regular guy said the last 3 yrs he is going to quit. We told him please let us know so we can make plans. Well ....... the turkey didn't tell us and you talking about hubby having a panic attack ! I called folks I knew, the John Deere place and all kinds of folks. Left messages told them we would pay them cash. Only had 1 man actually call us back. The few I got a hold of were of course already booked up and didn't have time for anyone else. This man actually came out and on time and did what he said he would do. Better than most of the others I called. Funny it is the Mexican and the Mennonite that are polite enough to call back and do what they say they would do. What is wrong with all the other white folks around here? Common every day politeness just doesn't exist any more???
   Took Heidi Ho to the Vet before he closed for the 4th to get her arthritis shot. Hubby picked up shipping boxes and I tried to get into the groove of making some kind of July 4th picnic food. The food part didn't happen. After dealing with a upset hubby all day and all the other crazy things going on I had a hard time changing channels to clean up mode in the kitchen. My housekeeper had to deal with a sick hubby and wasn't able to do that this week. It is the only thing that gets my house cleaned up and shining. With all the ranch helping I do it is just hard to get the other things done I am supposed to do. I finally blew it today when hubby was talking about doing something for him ...... I asked him with the !!@#$ is something going to get done for me?!! He had no clue what the heck I was talking about. So it looks like we will have another ignored holiday with what little whoop T do we do have is what I do or insist on doing like watching the fireworks in town or something.
   When you don't have kids and grand kids living close enough to drop in you can't even eat cool picnic food because hubby doesn't like most of it and have you ever tried making picnic food like tater salad and deserts for 2 people? Like I said when family isn't close by it changes everything.
    Maybe Friday I can get with it at least a little bit. I have no clue if the grocery store will be open if needed but I guess I will just have to wing it !
