[T Hi]

Ok after reading my pathetic post and getting a lump in my throat I had to find something cute to post so we can smile!

Remember the good old days of summer! When we had green lawn, swimming pools, and cute feathered fuzz butts running around!!

Sometime back I had talked about flatiron steaks. Love them. We have a traeger BBQ/grill (love it). We just grill them. I cook them on a higher heat. When done we Cut them across the grain, very yummy. I put a bit of seasoning on them...Salt, pepper, maybe a rub.

For one thing, the native slug is endangered thanks to the faster alien slugs which will eat them when they get the chance. For another, banana slugs don't eat living vegetation, only decaying vegetation, so they are not the problem for gardeners that the aliens are.

And what is so special about nanner slugs ????? A slug is a slug is a slug no matter what flavor.

There are ten species of non-native slugs. Some came in with nursery pots. Some came when some idiot was thinking escargot, and they escaped. One hardly ever sees a banana slug around here.

They came from Europe and Asia, not north Africa.

Seriously look into auto immune disease. I used to get "pnuemonia" and "strept throat" so bad that within hours of the onset I could not breath my throat was so congested and burning,,,for weeks doctors gave me first one then another antibiotic...then one guy got smart and gave me prednisone, which suppresses the immunal system and something exacttly opposite of what you would think of when you are so sick you cannot swallow...but within minutes I was able to swallow. And within an hour there were no symptoms at all.
I had strept throat once every two months as a chicld, and "cold sores" and "canker sores" and it went as far as my doctor referring to me as "as carrier" of strept and in order to rid the family of it we all had to dose penicillin at the same time...mom, dad, all us kids... hah ahaha wrong !
It was all my over active immunal system going nuts for the smallest reason, a tickle here or there and my immunal white cells would strip the lining of my throat, swell it all up, fry the broncial tubes and scald the entire lining off my intestines. In a heartbeat, and I am not special.
Even cold wind on my skin will cause an outbreak of itching and welts. Stimulas is the same...the white cells are right there waiting for something to attack.....certain sweaters that tickle, cold, alot of things contribute. Livedo reticullaris and Raynaud's Phenomenom are an everyday thing.....but as a kid, no kids should not be run down...old people get run down ..and run over !!
Best wishes and PM me if you have q's.
If I can save 1 child from the crap I went through !
But I will tell you it is really a leap of faith to drop the bottle of antibiotics in the toilet and spank the immunal system down !!
Often I get nasal congestion and such and I know what it is, it is my immunal system in there kicking butt and it scalds the tissue as it is THINKS IT IS killing germs.
So it thinks it is germs. Maybe just ticked off at dust, understand ? One shot of an inhaler steroid and my raw throat is gone and I can breath again.


I am one in five persons today that have hyperactive immunal systems.
Since I have discovered this, I have never had pnuemonia, strept throat or flu of any kind.
YOu need to realize the bug is one thing, the attack from your immunal system will scald the insides of your body as it tries to get rid of what it feels like is an enemy.
That could be dog hair, common household dust, wheat, dairy products, eggs ??
Shampoos, lotions, all sorts of invisable but yet right in front of your face stuff !
Too often we suspect a flu or bacteria when the enemy is within us...I have had arguments with a boyfriend and went to bed and awoken to weeping burning welts that covered a good portion of my neck and upper body, no lotion helps, there was no skin, cold water is all that would help, try that on your neck all night.
My skin was gone. And even funnier was after we made up...all my skin scalds were gone and healed over the next morning...all that was left was a faint rosy outline.
Oh my the weirdnss and power of the immunal system never to be ignored !
If you doubt me, google up Auto Immune disorders, or auto immune disease , or hyper active immunal system...there are all the same.
A pit bull right under the skin.

We put bread bags on our feet and hands when it was cold cuz we had no mittens or snow shoes so the plastic kept us dry.
