Raw Food and You

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on July 1, 2010 »

                                    
When I first read that the Canadian company Upaya Naturals provided online customers with raw food delights, I wondered what kind of idiot can’t just buy a raw carrot from the local food store and eat it.  Even if you are a shut-in, local stores deliver, so where is the market for Upaya Naturals?
Silly me. Upaya Naturals [...]

Strong Like Bull…

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on June 21, 2010 »

Hungry for fu…n. And lots of it!
Strength of character is a blessing, but it should not have to be gained as a result of physical pain and discomfort. Suffering in silence might help you keep your friends and family close around you, but it doesn’t help your physical quality of life in the least.

The Silver Sonic XL

Hearing Aids: Cheap Can Be Better

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 9, 2009 »

Do you know what is kind of funny? My partner J.J.’s grandmother, aged 92, recently spent  $3,000.00 on supposedly high quality hearing aids which have worked poorly for her.
That’s not funny.
That’s quite sad.
What do you think I am, a monster?
What is amazing, not sad, and kind of funny, is that grandma more recently purchased some [...]

Ear Candles: Cones of Silence?

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 9, 2009 »

Lots of wax in your ears? Try ear candles. That’s right. You can make candles from grandpa’s ear wax. Pretty soon, that grandpa will be you, if it isn’t you already.
All joking aside; ear candling is a gentle and soothing way to remove even the most stubborn of wax build-ups from your precious ears. If [...]
