to or not to

TO OR NOT TO
like in that shakespeare play
to floss or not to floss
that is the question

well now
my wife she answered that question
years ago
shes a not to person

yesterday while looking for a roll of floss
since i had used all mine up
i looked into her drawer in the bathroom
there
in the bottom of the drawer under all those
things that can accumulate down there in that
dark dungeon
like if i have to dig in her purse to get her car keys
something i never like to do
since
i never know what may be learching there
to bite or snap my fingers

digging around
yes i wore gloves this time
surgical gloves
i found this roll of floss
she gets a roll and a toothbrush every time she gets
her teeth cleaned
there was this dust covered what use to be white
roll of dental floss

i pulled it out of its container
cut it off
threw away the first 2 feet until it turned white
then
i flossed my teeth
i felt so much better after doing this
even rubbed my tongue around my teeth
my mouth felt cleaner

then
i read this article yesterday
you dont need to floss
it doesnt make a difference

made my wife she happy
she felt like she was right after all
like when you have an argument with your spouse
then
facts prove you were wrong they were right
you know what im talking about

well she gave me one of those
i told you so looks
smirky like

my take
ill ignore her
my mouth feels better after i floss
gets rid of all that stuff off my teeth
that my toothpicks cant reach

then
there is evidence that inflammation and infection in the gums
and teeth may transfer that reaction into the brain
some bacteria may float up there
popping through that blood brain barrier of mine
its already got holes in it
i dont want to let more stuff through

its one of the items on the regimen im on for my memory
brush every day preferable with one of those vibrating
toothbrushes
and
to floss every day

so to or not to
im with shakespeare on this one
im gonna do it
im going to be not to be

dear ms b-know what you eat

DEAR MS B-KNOW WHAT YOU EAT


 ms
in this picture above you are helping me pour stuff on
your garden
in the container is a mixture of seaweed and fish emulsion
and molasses
an organic mixture that stimulates the growth of the veggies
in your square foot garden
you dont have to worry about any bad stuff being dumped
on top of the veggies that you eat from the garden

not so
though when you eat veggies grown elsewhere
especially non organically

now lucky for you
there is this fantastic farmers market near where you live
so much of what you eat veggie wise come from there

no here is a tale
of where some of our foods come from
please dont eat any of this stuff

now in arkansas
yes you have roots there
there is a lot of soybeans grown there
some places grow soybeans that have a gene to resist the spraying
of that monsanto stuff called roundup
dont ever let your daddy use this stuff
or
stuff with atracine in it commonly used in weed and feed

nrdc.org
that stuff makes frogs have one eye and 5 legs
who knows what it would do to your growing little body

so now this roundup resistant soybeans has led to weeds
that are now roundup resistant
you know
nature has a way to win in the end
lesson dont mess with it too much

they would spray this roundup all over the soybeans
to kill the weeds
the problem is there is a thing called natural selection
nature selected the weed that was resistant to this bad stuff
round up
so those weeds then start to take over
cause monsantos poison wont work no more

so they developed a new poison called dicamba
they developed a new plant resistant to round up and the new stuff
so they spray it on the soybeans to kill the weeds
problem is its not approved yet by the epa

monsanto does it anyway
they are the donald trump of poison makers

so
yep
you guessed it
natural selection the old nature always wins eventually
the soybean weeds called pigweed are developing resistant to the new stuff

now in my organic garden the weeds that do show up
are not resistant to my treatment
i reach down
grasp it tightly
pull it up
put it in my compost pile
to eventually be used to grow my weed free garden

wonder if monsanto ever thought of something like this

the organicgreen doctor

dont do it

DONT DO IT
there
are things you just dont do
are things i just dont want to do
are things i dont like to do

now donald needs someone to put a filter on his
brain and his mouth and his tweety little fingers
its going to lose him the election


thestar.com
you just dont attack a gold star family
especially a gold star mom
maybe he could do a draft like i do
let it sit for awhile
after i have thought about
then i delete it
you cant send a tweet then later delete it
its really still out there for all to see

if he just had ignored what they said
just ignored it
went on
it would have been better
for him

some things are just hands off
this is one of these

there are things i just wont do


abc13.com
especially this weekend after the tragedy
here in austin of the balloon that hit the power lines
killing all 16 aboard
the story of each people makes it sadder
new mom and her mom a new married couple an about to be married couple
i never really wanted to do this
now
i can absolutely guarantee i will not ever do it


nationalgeographic.com
another thing
is yesterday as i watched the guy jump out of the plane
without a parachute then landing safely lucky for him
into a safety net
sorry thats what i worry about if i parachuted
my parachute wont open
down i go
a oily spot on the ground
instant burial
nope i can guarantee i will not die from parachuting

another thing
i do not like to fly
i dont get anxious
i just get fidgety
lucky for me my flights the longest are 3 hours
i survive these
but
i can guarantee you that i will never fly to europe
or to asia
i dont think i would survive it
plus
i wouldnt want to fly over water for those hours
remember what happened to amelia
i dont want to join her


txdot
there things i dont like to do
one is
drive on those new continuous flow intersections
i would explain them to you but i dont understand them
they just seem all wrong
people going the wrong way on the wrong side of the road
heck i have trouble going the right way on a one way street
theres no way i can figure these out

now i have driven on one twice
heres how i did it
i pulled up behind a vehicle that looked like it might
be going where i wanted to go
i tailgated that car real close
followed them wherever they went
luckily they went where i wanted to go

i have no idea how i got there

so these are things
he shouldnt have done
i aint going to do
i dont like to do
