Stump your pastor

Ask your pastor why Matthew and Revelation 13:9 Are almost the exact same verses. The pastor will answer that it is just coincidence. Then say, please read Revelation 13:10. Then say, now read Matthew 13:10-12. 

Isn't this fun? 

Drink voraciously

What does voracious mean anyway? Still it sends a certain message it probably means something like drink excessively or drink with wild abandon or drink like there's no tomorrow.

All these companies that sell alcohol have a little fine print statement that says please drink responsibly. Where's the fun in that? Even Jesus was called a wine-bibber by his enemies oh and a glutton. But there has never been one painting of Jesus ever done where he was fat obese or even the tiniest bit overweight. Sometimes it's just really hard to find real evidence for accusations brought against somebody. Anyway this is way off the subject. Drink voraciously. Drink with wild abandon you'll die young and miserable so maybe you should rethink that just a little bit. In the meantime it would be good to look up what the true definition of voracious is.

Black Friday fizzle

There were some reports that Black Friday simply wasn't the mad crush that it has been in previous years. This is good news. Americans were embarrassing themselves to some degree. I mean they put a TV on sale for a hundred bucks for Black Friday and then a year later a hundred bucks is the normal price for the same TV. And on top of that there's TVs that are twice as big and twice as sharp for $150 bucks just a few months later. So is it really worth getting trampled to death just for $100 TV?

Las Vegas high

Yes, I graduated from Las Vegas high School. It felt special. It felt like weird spiritual forces had brought me to a very special place at a very special time. if we tiptoe through a timeline of that period Of my life you'll see how truly phenomenal it was. Also somehow my parents were handpicked for me just for this particular time and of course for raising me in general. They were the perfect parents for the perfect time to be raising me and watching me graduate at Las Vegas high School. The winters were mild Windy and Sandy, the Summers were brutally hot. Why don't other kids get the perfect parents? Why don't other kids end up at the perfect place at the perfect time? What forces brought that group of us together to graduate two blocks from the Las Vegas strip and two blocks from Charleston boulevard which ends in downtown Las Vegas. Back then Las Vegas high school was two blocks from the Las Vegas strip and two blocks from downtown Las Vegas. At lunch break we could actually run over and sneak through the slot machine areas looking for nickels dimes and quarters. Of course technology has ruined all of that.

Truly great photo

Many photos aspire for greatness. Then there is this


Avacados

I love avacados but they are such a hassle and so expensive. They're either not ripe or ripe and bruised. Very irritating.

More constipation

Update on progress.

Things I'm doing just for this problem:

Cod liver oil daily
Fiber supplements every meal
One or more spoons of olive oil.
Standing, without much walking, 30-60 minutes a day. Sometimes in the middle of the night.
Sit up straight at work. Sit at desk all day. Keep fiddling with chair.
Eating raw veggies. Celery carrots broccoli mild peppers cauly flower. No dip or salad dressing.
Olive oil on salads.
Four prunes twice daily
Small handful of raisins twice daily.


The problem really only goes away when eating only fruits and veggies.

Doing all this to go daily.

I'm a Christian. In this case prayer has had no effect at all. In fact it may have made it worse.

Also, I don't own a TV. Reading, doing puzzles and playing on the phone Take my free time. At best TV is mindless drivel. It's actually quite damaging.

Yet another note on alcohol and constipation

Well, the whole alcohol thing works for desperate measure, but... See previous post. It turns out that alcohol makes the problem continue in the following days. In other words it caused me more constipation. Currently I'm taking a fiber supplement at all meals, a tablespoon of olive oil with all food, and a full dose of cod liver oil once a day. If things back up two days then it calls for a full dose of mineral oil at bedtime. Follow the directions on all these. Take a full dose but no more. I've never had a doctor advise this, but supposedly there are prescription stool softeners. Do not take any prescriptions without your doctor.

Saving a pillar candle

 how many times have you bought a pillar candle with Great Expectations. Only to have those expectations dashed upon the rocks of disappointment as you throw a 15 to $40 candle into the trash. Why, because the wick burns down too quickly into a tiny little hole and then basically puts itself out in the wax. well let's reignite that flame of hope.

Get the following items from Dollar Tree. It's a cheap chain of stores in America. A box of stick matches, a ball of cotton string, and a regular wax candle. Pictures below. This is a little more expensive but get a 13/64" drill bit and either vice grips or a manual or electric drill. Wax is soft so it's easy to drill by hand.




This whole box of drill bits was $10. A Christmas special.



Now the vice grips. Going hi-tech on this.



Lay out the match and string side-by-side. It is a good idea to glue them together with white school glue, but not required.



Drill a hole beside the wick in the candle. Hook one end of the string over the end of the match opposite the head and push that end into the hole. Leave the head of the match about 1/4"above the wax. The string should be about 1 inch out of the hole also.

Light the regular candle you bought and drip wax onto the head of the match and saturate the string. Keep dripping until there is a small pool of wax around the match and string. The match and string will burn together. First let the wax cool. Now light the new wick. The match will flare up when it ignites, but will continue burning with the string. Repeat this process when the new wick completely burns down. Once you do it, it is pretty easy. On a typical pillar candle you will insert a match twice.


If you look closely at this picture you can see the string and match both burning. Notice the flame is a little bigger than normal, but I like that.

Note to constipated alcohol drinkers

The previous post is a temporary crutch. It is not a solution. Don't cook your liver. Lean more and more on Jesus. Amen.

For constipated alcohol drinkers

If you don't drink alcohol regularly and are not constipated, skip this. For the rest of you, first become a Christian. Then, when you haven't gone in a couple of days wait till you are at home and hungry. You won't be going out after this. Pour about three ounces of wine and one ounce of vodka in a glass. Remain standing throughout this process. Fix a simple meal mostly liquid, like tomato soup. Remain standing. Pray continually that Jesus will help you take a soft poop. You can pray Father son and holy Spirit if you want. Not sure if this works for everyone else. Now drink the wine and vodka fairly quickly. Maybe in two or three separate gulps. Fix another one and eat most of the soup with a few crackers. Then drink the second drink. Keep standing and walking around your dismal apartment. Keep praying help me Jesus. Then see if you start to get the urge for a poop. Fix one more drink. Sip some and get on the pot. See if you can go. Be patient. Don't rush things. Don't hurt yourself.

You might also add two table spoons of olive oil and one teaspoon of cod liver oil. Get the good stuff. Not cheap.

This isn't a good long term solution, but is a steppingstone to a better way not needing the alcohol.

In Jesus name we pray.

Fixing pillar candles

So most of the pillar candles that I get won't burnworth squat. They burn initially for about 15 minutes and then the flame just goes down to a tiny little spot that you can barely see. The candle will claim that it burns for 80 hours but who wants a flame you can't even see? So here's one idea that seems to work pretty well. (Theres a siren screaming by outside let's hold on a second. Okay that's better. You know the city there's always some disaster going on you always say a little prayer thank you Jesus that it's not me. Of course every once in awhile it is you. Then you say thank you Jesus that I'm still alive. To be honest if you're not really thankful to be alive then say something else.) Let's see where were we? So what seems to work pretty well is to blow the candle out and let it solidify. Then get a match. A regular wooden match. Then glue a piece of cotton string down one edge. Just regular old grade school white glue. Leave about an inch on both ends of extra string. Then drill a hole down beside the existing WICk  the of length the match. After the match and the glue dry then put the match into the hole leaving the match head up. Then light a candelabra candle and drip wax onto the string and onto the match. The wax amazingly will flow down the match and fill up the hole. Make sure the hole is slightly bigger than the match. Don't try to cram the match and the string down a tight hole. Let this dry. Oh yeah make sure to soak all of the string in wax. Then light the candle. In the three experiments so far the candle burns with a very nice flame down to the end of the match. Then you can either throw the candle away or repeat the process to continue burning the pillar candle.
