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 [...]

It’s Greek To Me!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on June 23, 2010 »

 
These Greek men are actually all over 65 years old.  Blue longevity zone living.
You believe me?!
What are you, a Cretan?
Tee hee.
There is a new product out on the market these days called Greek Island Lab’s Natural Joint. It is not a new kind of pot, like many of you might have hoped.
Okay, like I might have hoped.
It is not made [...]

UV Rays and You

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on June 16, 2010 »

 
Song sunscreen.
Alright. Who invented ultraviolet rays anyway, and what good are they? What bad are they seems obvious enough. They leave us with serious radiation burns and damaged retinas, followed by a good chance of developing cancer. Great planning there, gods that be. Psychopathic geniuses. Over-the-edge creators of destructive forces. WTF! Do you want us [...]

Drugs.com!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on March 26, 2010 »

No. You cannot order drugs directly to your home from this site. Shame on you for the thought.
I did not have that thought.
But you can get the straight goods on many medications used on the market these days. And thank the gods for that.
Including Coumadin and Jantovin, generic name Warfarin, misspelled warfrin, alias rat poison.
I [...]

Xa — Ya!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on February 23, 2010 »

Here’s a simple and apparently quite effective nutritional program that is easy to self-regulate without a lot of brain power. Sounds tailor-made for me.
Emily Isaacson, a certified naturopath from the Xa:ytem First Nation of British Columbia, has designed The Rainbow Program. Six small meals a day as opposed to the more usual three square (plus [...]

Over The Hill Alright

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on February 15, 2010 »

A friend of ours from the Toronto film community died the other day at the age of 37. She was a driver in the transportation department who took a job outside of the industry driving a truck up north. Ashley was bobtailing, as they call it — driving a rig without the trailer. She went [...]

Cool and Funky Reading Glasses

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 8, 2009 »

My eyes are dim, I cannot see. I have not brought my specs with me. I have naw ot brought my specs with me.
That’s because I do not carry a purse and the glasses case is too bulky for my pocket.
I want folding reading glasses! Half-eye folding glasses, actually. I am always looking up and [...]

Reading Glasses Should Be Cool!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 2, 2009 »

Just because I am fifty…something, doesn’t mean that I want to look like grandma from the fifties. Once I take off my apron and stop baking cookies for my friends with glaucoma, I want to look sveldt in my reading glasses.
Then I’ll put some clothes on.
I’m sure this image will help you all stick to [...]

I Found Some! — For Women and Men — and Gangsters!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on November 2, 2009 »

Excellent! I found some sunglasses that are bevelled, like all good sunglasses should be for UV protection, and they do not distort my vision. Not so excellent is that they are not in my usual spending range of $1.25. Move the decimal over two places.
Ouch, that hurts.
But not as much as vision distortion or eventual [...]

I Need Sunglasses — Stat!

« Posted by Pat Franczyk on October 30, 2009 »

That don’t give me pink-eye or distort my vision.
The wrap-around style popular with hardcore cyclists are considered the best for blocking the evil and sneaky UV rays that like to launch an effective surprise attack from the periphery. The lenses should ideally be brown, grey or dark green, so as not to distort the natural [...]
