5 second rule

5 SECOND RULE

we all have probably heard of the 5 second rule

now

if you just have 1 kid 

you probably dont practice the 5 second rule

yet

but

most folks by the time that 2nd or 3rd kid comes around

well some move that out to a 10 second rule

so 

what germs are you really worried about

you know there are good germs

heck

i read where farm kids are healthier and have 

less asthma and allergy than city kids

why

they get exposed to a lot of germs

how else are city kids going to get exposed to 

those germs

the ones to really worry about

are the ones that you see on tv

when there are the outbreaks from 

meat contamination

packaged food contamination 

even salad mixes

these are the well known ones

e coli

salmonella

listeria

some viurses

parasites

just ask chipotle about these guys

my theory is that you are more likely to get sick

from eating at a restaurant 

buying meat

buying processed food

buying contaminated veggie

than

following the 5 second rule

now 

i sit here looking at my kitchen floor

i think

how long will i let the food sit there before i pick it up

and eat it

now i vacuumed the floor yesterday

dust mopped the floor

wet mopped it

so its as clean as its going to get

so

i dropped a chip on the floor

set the timer

at 5 seconds 

i popped it in my mouth

didnt bother me at all

so

i dropped another on the floor

set the timer

by 10 seconds 

i was having second thoughts

but

i popped it in my mouth

didnt bother me at all

so at what time frame would you give up

now i guess if you have a dog 

you just leave it there 

since they dont really care

i always wondered how come they can violate

the 5 second rule

and

never get sick

heck just thing of the places they put their mouth on

it dont hurt them none it seems

so after this short experiment 

i would say

10 second could be my new rule

oh wait

is that a brownie in the corner over there

so

i looked around

my wife she aint up yet

i reached down

and

savored every minute of its flavor

yes

i admit im a  rule breaker

i voted

I VOTED

as soon as we got our drivers license a few weeks ago
we were able to register to vote

in the mail came a ballot a few days later
this election voting here was all via mail in ballots

now new to the area we werent up to the politics
of the area

some of the things i voted on
some i didnt
but
i voted

i
signed the ballot
licked the envelope
popped it in the mail

as the results came out
last night
i like usually was
on the winning side of some issues
and
on the losing side on others
but
i voted

a lot of folks didnt vote
so
if i hear them whining
ill ask did you vote
they say no
ill raise my hand
and
say
talk to the hand

as i was reviewing some of the national votes
one that stood out for me
was in maine
it tends to be a republican independent state
it has a republican governor
its a different state than the rest of the states

it has a bad opioid problem

on the ballot
was the forcing of the state to accept the medicaid
expansion that the governor had refused to accept
a lot of medicaid funding goes to drug rehab programs
for the opioid addicted folks
without some type of intervention
a lot of folks are dying

i wonder if other states will do the same
personally i think big pharma should foot some of the bill
since they are the ones that pushed these powerful drugs
on unsuspecting patients
sort of a sin tax or its your fault tax

then
i noticed in one state a referendum requiring that
state programs only have to pay what the va pays
for their drugs
the va gets to competitively bid and limit what they pay

should be a no brainer
right
nope
it lost
just like in other states

we all complain about drug prices
why dont these pass
its the amount of money the drug companies put into
the campaigns against these referendums
does that make those who voted against it
no better than the politicians that take the drugs companies
political contributions

then
there was this graph i saw on line
it showed the voters based on their political beliefs
on the left the blue side
on the right the red side
they seemed to be equal
where the graphs overlapped in the middle
it was purple

it makes you realize thats where most of us are
its where the elections are won
in the middle
the middle seems to move to the blue or red side
differently each year

the other was a graph
that showed those who voted democrats are highest
amongst women
amongst non white folks
those who voted republican are highest
amongst white men

this could decide which way our country goes
in the future
since the non white numbers will continue to climb
the women and men numbers wont probably change much

it will be interesting to see how the political parties
will change themselves to survive in this trend

the solution to our political problems also may be
to allow only women to run government

also
i have found the solution to ending mass murders
only allow women to own and use guns

use it as a pay back for all those hundred of years women werent
allowed to vote
it would save lives and allow our government to run better

big pharma makes money off us

BIG PHARMA MAKES MONEY OFF US
after i read the article
i went and looked in my medicine cabinet
to see if they were making money off me

i think they are
or
should i say they were

in my cabinet i found these two meds


webmd.com

prednisilone
i use them 1 drop a day in my affected eye to
control chronic iritis
without them for a few days
the eye turns real red and is painful like you get
if you scratch your cornea
plus i get bad headaches and marked fatigue
so
i put a drop in once a day and it keeps this under control

this stuff comes at a cost of $75 a bottle
thats with insurance and it is generic

so it seems what the drug companies do with eye drops is
they make the drops too big
i guess by making the hole bigger or putting more medicine in
each drop

i notice when i use them the eye is full and a lot runs down my face
so i have to wipe off quite a bit thats wasted

it seems its made that way
so you have to buy twice the volume you need
so that my $75 a bottle could be a smaller $37.50 one

thats money in the big pharmas pocket
they basically double the amount of the drug thats sold
doubling their money

solution
there is a microdrop that can be made to put less drug in a drop
or
i guess you could just find an eye drop bottle with a smaller hole

wonder if i could try that
i plan to research it
if i find a smaller hole bottle ill just transfer my prednisilone into
the smaller hole bottle
maybe i wont waste any anymore
plus
ill save money doing it


webmd.com

then
theres my blood pressure medicine
irbesartan thats brand name avapro
after moving here for some reason i had to drop my dose some
maybe since its so laid back relaxing living here
plus i have lost a few lbs

i pay about $15 a month for the 150 mgm tablet
which now i break in half
my blood pressure is well controlled on this dose
i have now cut my cost in half
and
sorry big pharma
i just cut your profits a little bit

then
thinking about the experimental infusion i get
the aducanumab
it could be on the market in around 5 years
at a cost of $40,000 a year
thats $3333 each month for the infusion

lets just say the dose for people adjusted for age weight height
memory loss etc ranges from 2.5 mg to 5 mg to 7.5 mg to 10 mg

lets just say i have to take 5 mg a month
the cost of the 10 mg dose vial since that is the only one thats made
is $6667 a vial

so when i go in they take out 5 gm out of the vial and throw the other
5 mg away
thats $3333 thrown away in the trash
i pay $6667 for my infusion drug
the big pharma makes an extra $3333 on each treatment thats given

a solution would be to make a 2.5 mg vial a 5mg vial a 7.5 mg vial
a 10 mg vial
the price of the 2.5 mg vial would be $1667

so you can see how big pharma doubles their income like the eye drop
folks do with each treatment

now i dont know if the aducanumab will be done that way
probably not
but
a lot of cancer drugs given as infusions are packaged in just one dose
but folks dont all get the same dose
the extra is just chunked in the trash
but the patient pays for all of it

they use to make different dose vials or a multidose vial that could be
used on several folks

these tricks with the eye drops and the cancer infusions are costing us
or our insurances billions and billions of dollars each year

cant this be fixed
