Positive thoughts and actions to heal hurts,

You may have heard that a merry heart or a good laugh is like a medicine, it can heal. I want to tip you that showing love or that you care can give life too.

Some people give up on life because the love they gave was not returned. I want to encourage you to take that good that you wanted to pour out on that individual and love a hurting world of people back to health.

You have heard that hurt people, hurt people, I want to add that sometimes hurt people hurt themselves too.

We have to make up our minds not to say negative words about ourselves or others.

We must realize how important our love, wisdom, and smiles are to others.

When I was young I remembered feeling rejected by a group I wanted to be a part of.

The hurt was so bad I would actually go down a list of who nobody loves you were. My thoughts would say, your mama doesn't love you, your daddy don't love you, your sisters don't love you, your brother doesn't love you. Then one day I added God doesn't even love. That ended that it, the Lord spoke to my heart to say, Never say that again, because he has proven his love by sending his Son.

I said all that to say stop repeating negative words about you. What you say about you should give life and energy to you.

You are beautiful!

You are so lovable,

You are so kind,

You always think of others,

I love your smile, it makes me want to smile.

The world needs more people like you.

Deirdre @ EC, is it true we can now exchange email addresses?

This is just a comment that may help some people regarding question(s) they may have. I read that a member was asking where to purchase Castor oil. All anyone has to do is Google their question or use yahoo and enter any question: where can I purchase castor oil. (Type in your zip code) that's it. How far away is the moon? What country has world's most Beautiful Women? How can I make extra money? That's all you have to do.

Motivation:

Testing those challenged limbs may surprise you one day.

When I was a little girl about 4, I had a folding chair. One day I opened my chair to sit in it. It was not fully hooked. I sat on it with my hand holding the seat and the chair collapsed chopping off a small piece of my index finger (pointer finger). I do no remember how long I wore a cast, all I know is when they took it off I never used my index finger again for a few years. For some reason or other my mother decided to challenge me one day when she saw me writing with the finger pointed out as usual. She asked, "Jewel, (Nickname) why don't you use that finger?" I answered, "I can't mommy." She said, "Try." So I tried. And to my amazement my finger worked. It could bend, it could write. "WOW" Mothers come up with the greatest ideas, Try!

You never know what you can do unless you try and try again.

Hi there folks!

Happy Thanksgiving !

Check out this BBC clip on why it is safe again to indulge in the humble egg.

It has a Western theme, so should hold some appeal for those of you in the US of A.

I hope you will excuse me if I relate how, when we were younger back in the day, we would jokingly nudge each other on "How to Confuse an American". You would ask him/her to meet you in the autumn, by the lift on the ground / first floor of a building in a fortnight's time. Never failed to perplex.

However, on my visits to America, I was shocked to discover that you had "Drug Stores" - Oh dear, what goes on in there I wonder?

Back home we used to have "Chemists" in each village or town but then they morphed into (posher?) "Pharmacies" after a while.

Trouble is, that one of ours a few days ago lost the first letter from the sign above the shop, so unfortunately it now reads: ...HARMACY. Might lose a few customers I venture to guess.

"First, do no harm".

Cheers from Down Under

I have been submitting questions since 2015 to other's posts but for whatever reason, I don't ever get a reply or at least a notification via email when someone responds. I don't see a setting option to click on to be notified. I just assumed it would be automatic. Can someone help me to understand how to receive email or notifications when someone responds to my questions?

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here, and yesterday was MLK day, and I forgot. All know his legend, so let me tell you my story. Back in 1984 I worked for Hammermill Paper Company in Selma, Al., and a fellow employee had some land for sale near Marion Junction, Al. I tried to follow his directions but SJS, so I got lost. Soon it was dark and I was hungry so I stopped at a rural store to go buy me a coke and a Snicker bar. It was a Colored store and an elderly couple ran the store. I got my coke and candy and explained my plight. They could not help, but wanted to know where I lived. When I said Selma, his wife became alive and explained that she had an operation in Selma. I ended up talking to them for almost 2 hours. We related and enjoyed each others company.

I left and told a friend of my experience the next day at work. He told me that that was the Scott family, whose daughter was Coretta Scott King, MLK's wife. Few have had life's experiences that I have. Some say I should write a book, but too much water under the bridge for that. I remember that MLK said it was not the color of your skin, but the content of your character. True 60+ years ago and true today. ====ORH====

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here and we have a retired pharmacist that works with us on our farm every Sat. She puts on her jeans and gets dirty just like we do. She does it to get healthy veggies from our garden. That is just the way she is. She is a NC U graduate but has disowned them with the Covid thing. They started this crap. She is a delight for me because she is such a green horn. Today, I ask her to show me her neck. She did and I said, " IT AIN'T RED YET", but I's working on it. She finally has my number and we are going to Polk County in April to eat Ramps. We a little different in that she only eats grass fed beef. Me.... I want lots of fat in my meat. We don't eat that much meat. She and my Tractor Driver work well together. Today we took down our electric fence around our corn and melons. Folks quit gardening because of critters. You must have an electric fence to have corn or melons. The difference in today and our ancestors..... is they had to eat these critters to live. That will soon happen again when the SHTF. Promise you that you will eat coons and opossums before your life is over.....if you want to live. ====ORH====

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here and I want to put a bug in your ear. Our ancestors used a salt box to keep pork and it required no electricity. It's a survival thing. So if you live on an Island that has free energy then go to the next post, because you don't need my advice. What I am doing is taking old ice chest and putting in a salt cured hog hind quarter and covering it with salt. There is a procedure to get most of the salt out when you decide to eat it. I am having a ball researching what our country ancestors did to survive before electricity. Most were skin and bones, but healthy as a race horse. You could see every rib. Diet was not in their vocabulary. Yep, most died early because they were kicked in the head by a plow mule. They did not die of the garbage we eat these days. They died instantly and we die slowly over decades. Tractor Driver is cutting up the last of our watermelons and cantaloups. Time to get our fall and winter garden planted. Dollar is going to zero so suggest you buy a small plot of ground that you can grow some veggies when times get hard. Just remember, you have to get off your sorry ass to grow a garden. That gives you an out. You have a back problem. Belly is too big. ====ORH====

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here and am thrilled that the Governor is responding to my complaint of a Fla commercial agri firm that is contaminating our spring fed Sewee Creek. These folks are renting land in Meigs county to raise peppers and pumping out of Sewee Creek for irrigation and turning a beautiful, clear spring fed creek into a mud hole by not taking care of the irrigation runoff. I am not against this, except they are not doing what any house builder would have to do. Take care of the problem you create. The mud gets into my spring and fouls my irrigation tapes. I do not pick and choose. I take on all who need taking on. This may go nowhere, but I bet I get results. What you bet?

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here, and just got a letter from the Veterans Affairs Department about my health. Went into the Army in April '61 active duty and served 18 months. Then served in Reserves until April '69. Have not heard from them in 53 years and today got a letter where they are concerned about my health. If I have not gotten the Covid Jab, then they will do that. If I already have the jab then please notify them so they can get my records right. I just raised my right hand with the bird perch leading the way. That is about a PC as ORH can be, as all on EC know.

My mother, which I always called Aunt Edith, told me that I was born at night. But it was not last night. Boys and Girls, the excitement is about to begin. Laugh if you want, but all this is about the end of times. We are now at Good vs Evil and I want to hang around to see the end. If a health site is not the place for this conversation, then where do you suggest?

TORNADO IN EAST TN SATURDAY

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here and I slept through it all. Ole folks sleep after they eat and that's what I did. The tornado hit about 6pm and all had their boats in the water and not on their lifts. Most all our neighbors boats sank. The blow never came down to the ground, but tore up our trees. We lost one tree at the farm and will have a year of firewood. Corn down, but will survive. Nature is a wild and strange creature. Best not mess with her. Moving older chicks to the farm tomorrow and the young ones go from the #3 tub in the bathroom to our lake pen. Got a plan to buy only cornish roosters and neuter them to Capons this fall. Story to follow. Getting ready for the coming revolution. Health is not an issue if you dead.

==ORH==

Hi U OLE PATOOTS, you know how I ams...... have worms and pay attention. My pastor has pancreatic cancer and has been treated by an allopathic doctor for a year and makes me sad just to look at him. He is ashen and is wasting away. My Integrative doctor is treating two pancreatic cancer patients and they may die tomorrow, but they look great. He is trying to get their immune system to cure the cancer as it has their entire life. My pastor calls me often because I do not treat him as a pastor. I treat him as a buddy. Both being Rednecks, we do plain talk. How's your Momma and em, etc. You can't get any more country than that.

HI U OLE PATOOTS, ORH here and this topic is dear to my heart. It is about our freedom. Ya'll know how I am........ some love me and some don't. I am banned on Facebook and never use it. I just went on this site and could not pull up some things. Don't think this is D's problem. I think the thought cops have followed me here. We are in troubled times. Subject change........... I am pleased with the knowledge of the folks that are now looking after my lymphydemia situtation. Smarts count for certain. The young girl that was looking after me was just too green. She will cause lots of problems for folks until she learns. Too old to pay that bill. I expect the A team.

====ORH====

HI U OLE PATOOTS,,,,,,,,, ORH here, and would not miss it for the world. These days, I need all the help I can get. For you city slickers, that is black eyed peas for luck, corn bread for gold and collard greens for green backs. Getting new counsel next week concerning my lymphedema and need all the luck I can muster. Sleeping with my feet elevated to gain some control. Found a new method of preparing Glutathione for nebulizing and it is far cheaper than compounding or via IV. Ingesting is not effective. My integrative doctor successfully uses Glutathione IVs for dementia. While on the subject....... currency is not money, as all will soon learn.
