LOOKING FOR WAYS TO STRETCH YOUR FOOD DOLLARS?
Dear Readers:
I am always looking for ways to stretch my food dollar. Here is an article that may give you a few ideas on how to do that. Below is an excerpt and an a link to the complete article.
"THE MOST OVERPRICED ITEMS AT YOUR GROCERY STORE"
"Even if you’re not actively bargain-hunting, you probably don’t want to spend more money than you have to at the grocery store. On the other hand, there’s something to be said for convenience – which is why we’re shopping at the grocery store and not buying a side of beef from a wholesaler or threshing bushels of wheat to grind into flour. But the grocery store can sometimes entice us with too much of that convenience. Foods that are partially prepared or packaged to save us time and trouble can be some of the most expensive at your local supermarket."

MAYBE THERE REALLY WAS SOMETHING IN THAT OLD SAYING, "AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY."
Dear Readers:
"Could an apple a day keep the extra pounds away? According to a recent study in Food Chemistry, yes, because apples contain non-digestible compounds that promote the growth of good bacteria in your gut associated with weight loss.
How it works: These compounds--fiber and polyphenols--remain undigested until they’re fermented in the colon, where they act as food for friendly bacteria and help your body outweigh the bad bacteria that thrives on junk food, said lead study author and food scientist Giuliana Noratto. This restored microbial balance appears to reduce chronic inflammation, which increases the risk of obesity, and boosts feelings of fullness to help stave off overeating."

LAUGH FOR THE DAY - LEMONS AND VODKA
I
believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And
try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.

LAUGH FOR THE DAY - THE WEIGHT ISSUE
We all get heavier as we get older because, there’s a lot more information in our heads.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

A LETTER FROM A COP
I’m
a cop.
A
few weeks ago, two of my beat partners and I were called to an apartment in a
fairly nice complex to help a mother and father with their 16-year-old son.
The
son had no criminal history, and by all accounts was a decent kid. But he was
having some problems at home — breaking things and making threats with a knife
— and the parents needed our help.
When
we finally located the son, who is of mixed ethnicity (dad is white, mom is
Hispanic), he instantly began cussing and yelling at us. He took a
fighting stance and said he was not going to do anything we told him.
Luckily,
we were able to calm him and get him into handcuffs without any blows being
thrown.
We
asked why he was so hostile towards us. His response? Ferguson. The cops could
not be trusted because of what happened in Ferguson, Missouri. He told us
that he wanted to kill all white cops because of what “they” had done to
Michael Brown.
His
parents were mortified by his statements and they apologized profusely, telling
us that is not how they raised their son.
I
live and work more than 1900 miles west of Ferguson, but the effects of that
case are still being felt here. Not a week goes by without someone I
encounter mentioning it.
“Ferguson”
has become the latest defense for committing crime, often invoked by people we
arrest and their loved ones. Sadly, this feeling has not only infected the
normal criminal element that I expect that behavior from, but even seems to be
effecting middle class families as well.
While
the effects can be felt far away, the localized effects are far more serious.
On
Wednesday, a white officer in St. Louis, Missouri returned fire — in other
words, he was shot at first — killing a black male suspect.
Normally,
this event would barely garner back page news, because sadly, it is no longer
newsworthy when a cop gets shot at. But, in the shadow of Ferguson, such an
event is national news, and serves as fuel for more demonstrations, protests
and vandalism.
According
to accounts from Wednesday night’s “demonstrations,” the crowd was calling for
Darren Wilson to be killed.
The
same people who we used to count on for support, the good, law abiding general
public, are now reluctant to trust us.
We,
the local cops they have seen and contacted in the past, have not
changed. We have done nothing different.
What
has changed is the public’s perception of us, created by the reckless reporting
by nearly every news outlet very early after the shooting of Michael Brown. The
rush to be first with the story over the desire to be correct is having dire
consequences nationwide, and quite honestly, has made my job more difficult and
more dangerous.
Since
the shooting of Mike Brown, and the month-plus long circus that followed, the
number of law enforcement officers being shot in the line of duty has
skyrocketed, but the average citizen has no idea this is happening.
The
national media jumps all over a story where an 18-year-old criminal punk, who
shot at a cop, is shot and killed. That criminal is made out to be some sort of
victim by many outlets. That story is front page news all over the country.
Did
you know that in just three days this week (October 7-9), six cops were shot in
the line of duty, one of whom was killed?
- October 7: Chicago, IL – One officer, a captain, is shot twice — once in the face, once in the chest. Other officers at the scene take fire and are pinned down by the suspect.
- October 8: North Las Vegas, NV – An officer is shot during a gunfight with a suspect.
- October 8: Phoenix, AZ – An officer is shot in the face while on a traffic stop. The suspects flee and the officer calls for help. Two other officers arrive and start rendering aid, only to come under fire from the suspects who circle back and attack the responding officers.
- October 8: Oklahoma City, OK – Two officers are shot by a suspect during the same event.
- October 9: Midland County, TX – Sgt. Mike Naylor is shot and killed while responding to a report of a sexual assault.
Where
are those stories in the national news? What does it say about the media
who make a victim out of a criminal, and ignore the good guys being injured and
killed trying to keep society safe?
People
ask me if things are different for cops since Ferguson.
Yes,
yes they are.
