Too Little time

OK I thought this was a good idea to have this blog. but it just seems to be one more thing I need to keep up. I just do not have enough time in the day. Honestly I was thinking about deleting it. Nate and Chris are very busy with life, soccer, school it all keeps Mom running.
I made the blog for family and I seem to have far too many outsiders with all kinds of crazy responses. What should I do and why do we need this???? just my thoughts for the day If I do delete it I will let the family know.

Just a lil'bit of Soap

It seems that a few people reading my blog think Soap is a toxic substance. I suspect none of them have ever heard of a SS (soaps suds) enema given with the 3 H's (High, Hot and a Hell of a lot)!
Soap is not toxic. It may cause stomach cramping and loose stool but it won't kill you. It is just a natural Laxative. It cleans you out!
Now look at the laxative Miralax, it is made of Polyethylene glycol. Look the chemical up it is kidney toxic, skin sense organ toxic. Look at what products contain Polyethylene glycol:
Agricultural chemicals
Disinfectants (nonagricultural)
Hairspray (non-aerosol)
Herbicides for agric., garden and health service use
Household dry automatic dishwashing detergents
Laundry starch preparations
Lubricating oils
Other hair preparations, including heat setting wave solutions
Other pharmaceutical preparations acting on the skin
Pet flea and tick products, including collars
Pharmaceuticals for veterinary use

Now would you not prefer eating Ivory over Miralax????....
Now I would recommend a good healthy diet with fiber and everything will work it's way out naturally!
Also I must mention my disclaimer for all those potential victims and lawyers. I do not recommend you eat soap nor do I say to not take your Polyethylene glycol
You should always follow the recommended treatment prescribed by your MD. I must admit it works well. I'm sure Polyethylene glycol
would be better than that SS Enema with the 3 H's......

May all your days be filled with happy thoughts and none of constipation!

CYBER BULLYING TIPS

Here is some great info shared with me from the internet task force of the Utah Attorney General's office. Just thought it ws worth sharing considering we have had some interesting situation's occur at our home as of late. I'm fortunate to work with Law enforcement officers that have great info.

How can you protect yourself?
Be careful where you post personal information - By limiting the number of people who have access to your contact information or details about your interests, habits, or employment, you reduce your exposure to bullies that you do not know. This may limit your risk of becoming a victim and may make it easier to identify the bully if you are victimized.
Avoid escalating the situation - Responding with hostility is likely to provoke a bully and escalate the situation. Depending on the circumstances, consider ignoring the issue. Often, bullies thrive on the reaction of their victims. Other options include subtle actions. For example, if you are receiving unwanted email messages, consider changing your email address. If the bully does not have access to the new address, the problem may stop. If you continue to get messages at your new account, you may have a stronger case for legal action.
Document the activity - Keep a record of any online activity (emails, web pages, instant messages, etc.), including relevant dates and times. In addition to archiving an electronic version, consider printing a copy. Report cyberbullying to the appropriate authorities - If you are being harassed or threatened, report the activity to the local authorities. Law enforcement agencies have different policies, but your local police department or FBI branch are good starting points. Unfortunately, there is a distinction between free speech and punishable offenses, but the legal implications should be decided by the law enforcement officials and the prosecutors. Depending on the activity, it may also be appropriate to report it to school officials who may have separate policies for dealing with activity that involves students.
Protect your children by teaching them good online habits (see Keeping Children Safe Online for more information). Keep lines of communication open with your children so that they feel comfortable telling you if they are being victimized online. Reduce their risk of becoming cyberbullies by setting guidelines for and monitoring their use of the internet and other electronic media (cell phones, PDAs, etc.).
