The healing power of Honey and Cinnamon?
Recently a good friend of mine sent me a rather interesting email and I thought I would share it with you.
Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated January 17, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.

Now Showing at a Redbox Near You…
I like Redbox. It is especially convenient on my family pizza night. I can reserve a movie online and pick it up at whatever Redbox kiosk I choose. I usually opt for one at Walgreens or McDonald’s so that I can just drive up, get my movie and quickly be on my way. That’s the idea anyway, but oftentimes that is not how things turn out.

Oh no daddy, what happened to my Eggo Mini’s?
My 4 year old son LOVES Eggo Mini Pancakes, seriously! I would have to say they are probably his second favorite food, with pizza being the first. A few days ago when shopping at Crest Foods we notice a sever shortage of Eggo products in the freezer section. After doing a little research, here is what I found.
(from MSNBC) Kellogg has blamed a nationwide shortage of Eggo frozen waffles on heavy rain that shut down one of its main plants in Atlanta. Kellogg says there will be a nationwide shortage of its popular Eggo frozen waffles until next summer because of interruptions in production at two of the four plants that make them.
The company’s Atlanta plant was shut down for an undisclosed period by a September storm that dumped historic amounts of rain in the area. Meanwhile, several production lines at its largest bakery in Rossville, Tenn. are closed indefinitely for repairs. It could take until the middle of 2010 before shelves around the country are stocked at pre-shutdown levels according to MSNBC. But that’s only part of the story…… Click here to continue reading this story.
WTF Mother Nature?…or is it Karen?
Mother Nature, who is she? I think nature was assigned the title of “mother” because she can give birth to virtually any type of weather. I think it was determined long ago that “nature” was a woman because of how fickle and indecisive the weather can be from one day to the next, much like the way that women in general cannot seem to make up their mind. You know what I am talking about, you ask your wife or girlfriend what they want for dinner and they will reply that they do not care, yet when you mention something, it turns out that they do care but want you to magically guess what it is that they want. Good luck with that one, I have been trying to master that skill for about twenty years now and I am still a novice at best. Click here to continue reading.
Foiled again…office pranks are such fun.
For years I have heard stories of things that happen to people’s work space while they are gone on vacation. I have even come across a website or two dedicated solely to such humorous things. I am pretty sure that I recall an episode of The Office where people mess with Dwight’s stuff just to annoy him. I never really understood what it would be like to walk in to work one day and see that someone had pulled such a prank, until it happened to me. The photo above is of my new aluminum plated work space, courtesy of my coworkers. They said it only took about three hours and 12 boxes of aluminum foil to complete the job. It was nice to know that I was missed while gone on vacation. Don’t worry; once I finally managed to remove all of the aluminum foil it went into the recycle bin, I wouldn’t want to be wasteful. Besides, I am sure someone else out there will need that foil to show the same type of love to one of their coworkers.
It is called a Turn Signal….maybe you should use it!
Part of safe driving is showing the other drivers around you what you are going to do. Using your turn signals is not difficult, and it’s required by law whenever you make a turn or change lanes. Once again, remember that your turn signal is to warn drivers what you are going to do. So please put the damn cell phone, pull your head out of your ass and use your freaking turn signal you jackass! It seems like drivers in Oklahoma City are getting dumber with each passing day. We are one of the highest in the nation for uninsured drivers, and I would also guess that there are a large number of people driving without a license. Most days I do my best to tolerate the ignorance that I see when driving the streets of our city, today however I seemed to be surrounded by every bad driver in town.
Tran’s Custom Tailoring
Today’s post is courtesy of a guest submission by Kyle Jaxon. If you would like to submit the best or worst of OKC please click here.
It is not very often that I need tailoring work done, but when I do, I have always used Tran’s Custom Tailoring. Back when I worked for the city, I would take my uniforms there to get them tweaked so that they would fit just right. Tran not only does great work, but his turn around time is always quick. It has been quite a while since I had visited his shop for tailoring assistance, but when I went in last week he still remembered me. That is a special touch that I like from any business that I use. I dropped off the garments I needed altered and he had them ready two days later. While there are many tailoring shops in OKC, I personally think the quality of work that is done at Tran’s is superior to what other places might offer. So the next time you need something altered or repaired consider using Tran’s Custom Tailoring.
Reasons why Friday the 13th is a bad day.
Personally, if Friday is the last day of my work week how can that be a bad thing? Furthermore, I was born on the 13th day of the month, so once again how can that day be considered bad? Nonetheless, here is some of the most common beliefs on why Friday the 13th is such an unlucky day.
- On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrests of Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar and sixty of his senior knights in Paris. Thousands of others were arrested elsewhere in the country on the same day. After employing torture techniques to compel the Templar’s to confess to wrongdoing, most were eventually executed and sympathizers of the Templar’s condemned Friday the 13th as an evil day.
- Many Christians have long believed that Friday was unlucky because it was the day of the week when Jesus was crucified, also the day Eve tempted Adam with the apple. The number 13 was believed to bring bad luck because there were 13 people at The Last Supper
- A baker’s dozen is described by a dozen loaves of bread with the 13th being an offering to the devil so he would not spoil the other 12.
- More than 6 million people do not go to work, drive or leave their house on this unlucky day because they suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia, the fear of Friday the 13th.
- Many tall buildings do not have a 13th Floor due to the belief that the number thirteen is unlucky, for the same reason most hospitals do not have a room 13 .
