Some Medical News from the source that you trust.

OK, I've got to run off for a day of errands but I will leave you with one quick item for you to practice over the weekend.
There are many things that we do that may not have been thoroughly explained to us. We do these things every day, but we may do them badly. "It's simple, just do it", but we have difficulties until someone "happens" to explain it to you as an offshoot of a conversation about tuberculosis at a late night cocktail party or something.

If this cocktail party was too late night, we are burdened with that odd problem of saying "yeah, there was a trick to doing this that somebody told me about, but I can't remember what it was...". Give it up, you won't remember it, until someone tells you another solution for the same problem and you perk up and exclaim "I HEARD that, no wait, that wasn't it, was it?".

Well here is a simple solution to a common problem and you can come back tomorrow and read it again and then maybe you will remember it.

Reeny is a veterinarian and has to give horses medication. Horses don't enjoy getting medication any more than you did when you were six years old. Their throats are not as proportionally sized in comparison to a six year old kid as you would think, especially since they weigh 20 to 30 times more while their tummies and poopers ARE at least 50 times bigger.
Because of the large body, long neck, and relatively small throat they really "kick up a fuss" when you try to get them to eat an aspirin that is 240 grains per pill. That means it is a large white brick with "rounded corners for comfort", which is very similar to those calcium or glucosamine tablets that you are supposed to choke down every day.
You know those wooden plungers that butchers use to stuff "parts" into the meat grinder when they are making "low-fat ground stuff"? I always thought that it would be a good marketing idea to include a plastic version of one of those (with a breathing hole down the middle) with every jumbo bottle of oversized "good for you" type pills, to make short work of loading your mouth with the morning pills, lean your head back, aim, and pack.

"Maybe there is a better way" you say? Well there is. Here it is. Right here. Pay attention.

What you need: A glass of water. A pill, and that's all.

Place the jumbo pill UNDER your tongue.
HOLD the pill down with your tongue.
Take a large gulp of water.
Presto!

Try this with small pills first. Or some M&Ms.
It's wonderful. Don't try to do anything with the pill but hold it down.
Try it again.
If you do this enough times with M&M's you could get really fat without the perils of developing an addiction to chocolate.
Try it this weekend and let me know how it works for you.
You would think that with pages and pages of documentation included with every packet of pills that they could devote a paragraph explaining how to get your body on the outside of the pill.

Monkey Faced EEL revisted.

Waaay back in July, I wrote a quick note about a fun day we had pole-poking for California Prickleback Monkey Faced Eels. We just LOVE saying that.

Here is our little post. Poke Poking for Fun and Profit

It was the finest fish dinner I have ever eaten. Wonderful.

This morning I was looking at some statistics about my website and one of the stats shows me what words people were searching for when they popped onto my site. It is usually "bethandwarren" because some people use Google search instead of their address bar.

But right there at the top of the heap is "Pole Poking Monkey Faced eel".

Cool. Now I am a sport fishing destination.

So I tried the same search to see what other options would appear.

Well this site (bethandwarren.com) didn't show up but I did find an instructional video:

Instructional Video: How to poke pole a monkey faced eel

If that link doesn't quite work right, try this one: http://www.videobomb.com/posts/show/6882

(By the way, OUR technique was much easier.)

And here is a little more: Article about the very same type of eel

And last but not least, if these cute little fellers really tug at your heart you should really check out MonkeyFaceNews.com

and in case you were wondering...
the other search phrases that people found my site with: "ant lions", "asheville restaurant reviews 2007", "wyoming land rush built around silos", "farmall super c tractor stories", "zen antlions gardens", "pedro's firework store", "bethandwarren", "pole poking", "beth warren witherell blog", "south of the border fireworks store", "route 95 to florida", "weiderhold antrim", "sperm milking machine", "i have decided to get a whiffle hair cut", "my private little museum". "goat farmers; west virginia", "dysan vacuumcleaner", "barrington bunny", "raven stash", "missile silo stainless steel", "http://www.bethandwarren/", "xxx adult shops in glenwood springs, colorado", "derekforreal.com", "contractions", "vw couch", "antlion kit buy",
"barrington bunny story", "pedros fireworks", "south of the border fireworks"

Do you see your search in there?

Photos (and how to see them)

I was with someone recently that was looking at this blog and didn't realize that there are loads of pictures lurking behind the one that shows in the actual post.
It's pretty obvious to some of us and is very obvious once you have been shown this little trick, but if you haven't, then you are missing out on the full time-wasting potential of this site.

The BIG Secret: Click on most pictures to see an entire album.
That's right! You heard/read it here first! I have only loaded a small fraction of the photos that we have taken, but some of you have seen only the "Cover" photos.

When you click on a photo you will be taken to one of the places that I stash them.
Look around. It's not private, you can look at any of them.
You can view slide shows, search, comment, and run around in circles.
When you are done, just type in bethandwarren.com in the address bar at the top of your browser and you will pop right back here.


Try it right now!

Mapping.

At this time there is a Google Map available with at least FOUR overlays.


Suggested destinations

This is where all of the suggestions that people are making will go. We are using these tidbits to plan our trip. We usually try to restrict our planning to five days maximum so that when a local makes a suggestion that is in the local area we have a flexible enough schedule to squeeze it in.

I have to add in some more suggestions that have recently been made by various locals, so it will be a constantly changing map. The Blue dots are suggested locations. I will probably change the color of these items when we have actually gone to them.


Where we have been so far...

This one is tricky. I don't want to clutter it up with EVERY detail, but I would like to show some of the places we have seen that are between point A and point B. I may just put in the towns that we have spent the night and you guys can assume that we have toured the town. I will also add a mark wherever we have turned off the obvious roads.

This layer has the most backfilling to do. (At this point it only has the last couple of days noted)

Invitations...

These are the invitations that we have received from people to come visit their homes. We are a big fan of invitations because, well, because of everything. The marks do not point to the people's homes, they point to the center of the town they live in. Also there are no last names. Remember, everything that goes through the internet is public.

Next?

This is the layer that will always be wrong. This is a rough plan of which direction we are planning to go. Occasionally there will be an event that we are aiming towards so everything before and after the event is up for change and the actual route is any body's guess.

Put them all together and you get the MAP of our Adventure.

Turn the four layers on and off at will.
The purple squiggly line may irritate you for some reason, so turn it off.
I suggest you RIGHT-CLICK on any of these links and choose "Open in New Window", so that you can come right back here with a minimum of effort.
If you already have a Google account you can add these layers of our adventure to YOUR Google Maps so you can turn them on and off at will. You will always see the most up to date map. Just choose the "Save to MY maps" option when viewing the map.
For more details about how to add YOUR suggestions of where to go look HERE.

How to PUBLISH something.

If you would like to ADD A NEW POST then email your complete post with pictures and everything to:



The Subject line will become the title.



There is a disadvantage to this method: You must make sure that your email address is NOT at the bottom of the email or EVERYONE WILL SEE IT. Do not CC your email to anyone, ONLY send it to this one address or, once again everyone on the internet will see it. this is a public website.

It is SIMPLE, it is FAST. If you need to edit the post, then send your newer version to the same address and I will delete the older version when I go online.
If you want your post to be deleted, then send an email with "DELETE PREVIOUS POST" in the subject line and I will delete it the next time I am online.
________________________________________

IF THIS MAKES YOU NERVOUS then use the conventional COMMENT technique.

The older method that Sherm and Chemo-Sabe use will be discontinued soon because of an issue with Google ads. Frequent posters like them have already been given authority to post directly (although they haven't used their super-human powers yet). If you would like to be given posting and editing authority just email me.
