potato experiment, mitts taxes

POTATO EXPERIMENT



this little girl did a simple experiment for some school project
its simple but shows what is going on in our food chain

if you wonder why people want to go totally organic then
this simple experiment shows why

i grow all my vegetables organically using compost most of which
i make myself
no chemicals in my compost

if this stuff does this to a potato what does it do to a growing
child

she went out and bought 3 potatoes
one from the grocery store
one from an organic store
one form an organic farmers market

her results speak for themselves

thanks ph facebook friend for this

MITTS TAXES
mitt romney paid $6.25 million in taxes on $42.5 million
over 2010 and 2011
his tax rates were 13.9 and 15.4 %

my tax rate over those 2 years was 28 %
eg on $100,00 thats $28,000 in taxes

if i was mitt that would be $13,900 and $15,400
i could find good use of that extra $15,000 couldnt you

if he paid my tax rate he would have paid $11.9 million in taxes

no wonder THEY dont want to change the tax code but want
it to be cut more

theres those 1% again
winning while we lose

wrong pills, warren warns, its cold

WRONG PILLS
what if you went to take an excedrin for a headache
and it knocked your socks off
made that headache or hangover go away
dang good pill that excedrin or

what if you took no doz to stay awake on a long drive
but instead fell asleep after you took the pill or

what if you were passing too much gas and or was belching
too much and you took a gas x to get relief but instead it
knocked you on your butt and you couldnt even f$%^

thanks novartis
they got pills all mixed up in their factory
seems they would leave a few pills in the assembly line when they
changed from making one pill to making another

seems some oxycodone got left behind and got mixed up with
excedrin gas x no doz bufferin

oxycodone is a powerful prescription narcotic opiate that is
a controlled drug

it always bothered me when our drugs were made overseas
as there has been many problems in the past but now it has
happened in the core of america in nebraska

(another reason to always look at your pills before you take them
if they are different dont take them ask the pharmacist about them)

if i opened a pill bottle and one of the pills wasnt the same as the
others i would be suspicious wouldnt you

these werent even generic pills but name brand pills
why are all these reports about the brand name companies

kinda makes you worry sometimes doesnt it

WARREN WARNS
warren buffett
this guy knows what hes doing
wish all the rich guys were like him
wish all the politicians on both sides were like him

he agrees the rich dont pay enough taxes
he even offered to donate $1 to the federal government for each $1
that a congressman would donate
bet he dont get many takers

hopefully congress doesnt make this their new taxation law for
the rich
volunteer donations
yey right thatll raise a lot of money

the average us senator has a net worth of $2.5 million
the average us representative has a net worth of $750,000
and this doesnt include the wifes/husbands monies and retirement and
all the other benefits they make

seems congressmen do a lot better on stocks than the average
citizen does
wonder how all that happened

now if warren was in congress that would be understandable

it appears that congress are the 1% and we are mostly all the
99%

no wonder things arent getting done up there
theres no incentive

ITS COLD
if you live here in central texas its going to be cold today and
for a few days
protect your plants and your pets and your pipes

in the garden i have put a double row cover over my winter greens
hopefully it wont get too cold so this protects them
i also put the same double row cover over my garlic as last year
at this time the cover was blown off and i lost most of my garlic
crop

watch those pipes
we will get in the mid 20s here at the country n so extra protection is
going to be needed

make sure the pets if they are outside have an extra source of
warmness-blankets lights etc

also make sure unfrozen water is provided for pets and wildlife

last year i got frozen plants and broken pipes luckily the pipes
were only in the garden area

stay warm
