The other side of H1N1 information

There is some really disturbing information out there, that totally discredits what we've been hearing in the media about H1N1 (the Swine Flu), the vaccine pre-ported to prevent it and who should or should not get the vaccine.

The following is an interview by Dr. Joseph Mercola of a Dr. Russell Blaylock, who discusses facts about H1N1, and gives evidence that information is being skewed by the media and our government to represent a picture of a pandemic that is just not happening, and a program that aggressively promotes a vaccine policy that might not prevent the H1N1, but may actually make one more susceptible to contracting it!  This information is fascinating.

Now, you may discredit this interview based on Dr Mercola's credentials... he was a family doctor for a very few years before becoming a shill for his own line of health products. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but it certainly would not make him an expert in immunology or vaccines. But the gentleman he is interviewing, Russell L. Blaylock, M.D. has been a practicing neurosurgeon for over 25 years, and has experience and much knowledge of diseases and vaccines, and how they affect the brain. He is presently devoting himself to nutritional studies and research. He is very qualified to analyze the information that is out there for anyone to find, if you look hard enough, and very qualified to speak to affects the vaccines for the flu and H1N1 are having, and may present in the future, so I would recommend we take what he's saying VERY seriously.

Everything but the kitchen sink...

Now here's a girl who knows how to recycle, reuse and create! Suzanne, of Threepeats makes jewelry from recycled t-shirt yarn, vintage beads, vintage lace and anything else she can get her hands on.

Here's what she says, "I've always collected vintage jewelry but didn't wear much of it. It was too heavy, too fragile or too tacky! One summer I decided to see if I could use some of the beads and chain from broken pieces I had to create a necklace I would actually wear...one that was long, light and versatile. When I got compliments on the necklace, I started creating them as gifts for family and friends and got more compliments. threepeats was born!"

I'm glad it was! Take a look at one of her adorable pieces:

Suzanne says, "I love that I can recycle old things that people no longer wear into new things that are usable and affordable."

 

"Everything is designed to be long, light, easy-to-wear and affordable and each piece is UNIQUE!"

 

Her jewelry IS unique and very inexpensive, and so fun!

Gettin' Cozy with my Coffee :)

Ahhhh... there's nothing I love more than that first sip of fresh brewed coffee in the morning, unless it's my second fresh cup, or my third fresh cup... you get the idea. :)

But there's a couple of things that sometimes get in the way of my enjoyment. The first one is, ouch! That cup is HOT. My tender fingertips don't like the hot cup, even though, I LOVE my coffee piping hot! That brings me to the second thing... I do NOT like luke warm coffee. I want it hot, and if I get distracted while my coffee sits (like now, as I write this blog) my coffee will cool on me. :(

That's where the Etsy Twitter Team's Shop of the Week comes to the rescue! Wayside Violet has beautiful cozies, hand knit cozies, cozies for your take-out cuppa, cozies for your favorite mug... get cozy with your coffee... it's not gonna burn your hands anymore... it's not going to let your joe go cold while you answer the phone!

Weird and Wonderful

While doing a little window shopping through the land of Etsy, I came across some items that I would classify as "weird". I thought, why not do a weekly blog posting featuring a couple of weird things, balanced by a couple of "wonderful" finds. I hope you enjoy my picks. :)

First, here's something I found particularly weird. This print of a photograph shows a female adorned with a real octopus! I can only imagine how that felt, and my thought is, it didn't feel good. I wonder if they had to photo-chop the goose bumps off of her. Euwwwwwww!

Here's something wonderful... I love this original work of art, and here, it is applied to a framed tile. (you can also  purchase a full-sized print) I find this piece both haunting and beautiful.

 Now, this piece is definitely weird, but also cute as heck. ;) I'll let it speak (or smell) for itself...

 

Finally, this piece is a little odd, but it is oh so wonderful! I want to jump into this piece and frolic along with the wonderful creatures within. It's so fun. :)

 

I hope you've enjoyed my first W&W post. Please visit the artists (the pictures are linked) and come back next week for some new choices. :)
