fox guarding the hen house

FOX GUARDING THE HEN HOUSE

that what i think when i hear about coke and pepsi
making ads and doing interviews and making press
releases about obesity

yep its the fox guarding the hen house for sure

now they are thinking about putting on their soda cans
how much exercise do you have to do to burn off the calories
in a can of coke

those 12 tsps of pure sugar is a lot
how do they get that stuff to go into solution
what if i drank 12 tsps of sugar in my large cup of coffe each
morning

you have to do a brisk not a leisurely 30 minute walk which
according to my calculations is about 1.5 miles to burn off
those calories
failure to do so could cause a 15 lb weight gain in a year

if it was me i woudnt let anyone know all this stuff and be
talking about it on tv
let us figure it out our self
heck what we dont know we wont know its hurting us

i drink rainwater every day
if i then walk 30 minutes at a brisk walk
to walk off the calories in 330 ml of rainwater
i will lose about 11 lbs of weight each year

so coke and pepsi to a lesser degree is spending thousands
of dollars to divert our attention to their other lower calorie
drinks which granted would help some
but is not doing much about the sugar content of its coke product

it does seem like to me this is somewhat like tobacco advertisers
advertising a lower nicotine cigarette

today the obesity health related issues are greater than tobacco
and alcohol and drugs

eg in the south the life expectancy of females are going down and its
felt to be due to diseases that result from obesity
diabetes cancer heart disease stroke high blood pressure and
possibly directly or indirectly alzheimers disease


so yes today ill fill my big gulp metal reusable container with
that refreshing country n rainwater and drink it today
and do my chores here at the county n or
since i wont gain weight drinking this aqua
i can just do nothing today

digital no rights, you pay more

DIGITAL NO RIGHTS
its seems as time goes on we are loosing our digital rights
or as i call it digital no rights

if you use your employers computer or smartphone they can
and a large majority do monitor what is on the emails and texts
on their computers and phones

yes when you write that your boss is a prick or that you
got drunk last night or that mary lou is messing around with
bobby joe then most employers will read that
you could get reprimanded or fired

so any emails video you watched facebooks you look at
or websites you visit or google searches you do
keep in mind that they may and probably are watching

thats why i never used my work email for anything but work
and used other email accounts for emailing people not
work related

if you are stopped by the police and if they have probable
cause they can confiscate your phone and look at it
you dont have to give them your pass code
but the judge can force you too
of course probable cause is easy to come up with
just talk to a black person or hispanic person or a
young person who looks not clean cut

if you fly into the us the agents can go through your computer or
smartphone without probable cause

apparently in 2011 law enforcement demanded 1.3 million requests
from cellular companies for subscribers information

that doesnt include the requests made on google bing yahoo and
other search companies

heck all they have to do now days is just google it and theyll get
all the information they need

yes 1984 may be here as big brother watches us

YOU PAY MORE

clark howard the consumer guru wrote recently that what browser
you use influences what you pay online

eg
searching for a particular brand of tv using the google chrome browser
netted a price of $997 while using internet explorer or firefox the price
was $1399

then on the walmart website for another tv it was $199 using firefox and
$168 on chrome and internet explorer

on some websites those mac user are paying more
sometimes as much as 30% more on hotel rooms and other purchases

then on amazon if you fill your cart and then abandon it at the last minute
sometimes the price quoted next time you look at that item will be cheaper
doesnt matter what browser you are using

so i guess ill do all my shopping using google chrome and will
cancel my amazon orders then come back later and try again
i do that anyway most of the time

more texting

MORE TEXTING

ive written about texting before

texting while driving-what more can be said than dont do it
its like drinking and driving
bad things have happen to people who do this as well as
to innocent people in other cars and pedestrians

pedtexting is texting while walking-heck ive done this one a few times
ive even walked off a curb and walked into other people and
walked into a post but at least i didnt walk into the water
like that one lady did or walk into that fountain like another one did

cyclotexting is texting while bicycling-my wet suitcase sisterinlaw
crashed her bike that one time when she tried it


jetexting is texting while flying-no not you texting while you on an airplane
but
some pilots have been caught texting instead of flying the airplane
that one bothers me
sure makes me not want to fly
the captain asks that you turn off your cell phones please
doesnt apply to him

skitexting is texting while skiing-i now my sisterinlaw and her crew
have done that one
you think she would learn her lesson


now there is sleep texting or
sleeptexting
i dont think ive done this one yet
it seems its the younger generation that does so much texting all day
long that are the ones susceptible to sleeptexting
also those who have to get up in the middle of the night to communicate
across the globe to folks in china and elsewhere
some people wake up and text their dreams before they really wake up
you know when you are in that no mans land between the dream and
reality

i wonder if ambien use can cause sleeptexting since people sleepeat
and sleepdrive on that stuff

maybe what i should do is sleeptext my aricept dreams that i have
sometimes well almost every night
that way i would always remember what they were about
maybe i could text to my blog and just post them

how to prevent sleeptexting
turn the dam thing off
put it across the room or leave it downstairs
im surprised my wife she hasnt sleeptexted before
since she loves her smartphone so much
and
its an extention of her left hand now

then there is dystextia
you know like
dyslexia-you see words backwards and all jumbled up
dysgraphicism-thats what i have but thanks to the computer and
spell check you dont notice it
i think all doctors have this problem

dystextia is separate from butttexting or that texting that autocorrect does for
you sometimes that makes your message all garbaly

dystexia was demonstrated recently from this article from npr

a pregant young lady was leaving the obs office after a checkup
her husband texts whats the deal
she texts everywhere thinging days nighing
she texts some is where
he texts what the hell does that mean
he texts you are not making sense


well it seems his wife was having a stroke
he recognized  something was wrong
this was more than butttexting

he met her and took her to the hospital
she was having a stroke involving the area of the brain that
affects speech

usually with this type of stroke a persons speech would be impaired
but this lady had laryngitis and couldnt talk so no one noticed it

so dystexia can be a sign of a stroke

which tree drove french fries cloudy days

no just teasing
