More worry for parents March 6, 2004 10:11 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeAs parents, we can do as much damage by being over protective than we can by giving no parenting at all. Articles like this one " Report: Local Teens Branding Bodies, Running Health Risks " make you want to never leave your child’s side. Hopefully we can get through by having open communication and engraining right from wrong and the concept of making good choices. I know I did my fair share of stupid things as a child and teenager and young adult; shoot, I continue to do a variety of stupid things on a somewhat daily basis. I am thankful to be alive to be able to council my children. I just hope they make the right choices when presented with the options ahead of them.
…It’s been three weeks, but the scar and scabs and pus are still visible (pictured, left) on a local 16-year-old. She was branded, using a coat hanger, a blowtorch and seconds of pain….
…In high schools across the metro area, branding is becoming popular, 7NEWS reported. And since you have to be 18 to get it done properly, many teens are turning to friends and branding parties….

March is Caffeine Awareness Month (ironically)! March 6, 2004 10:01 pm
Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life…”We’ve actually had people end up in intensive care because of issues surrounding caffeine,” …
…giving Boy Scouts caffeine after dark is like feeding a gremlin after midnight — it only leads to bad things….
…If you’re accustomed to drinking caffeine, you could experience withdrawal 12 to 24 hours after the last dose. Symptoms include headaches and small occurrences of anxiety, fatigue, drowsiness and depression….
…A normal amount per day is 200 to 250 milligrams.
You must go 21 days to break a habit or routine … keep it up! I haven’t had a soft drink with caffeine in over a year and a half and it feels great.

the sweetener in coke and pepsi is actually a neuro enhancer – makes portions of the brain race uncontrollably and frenetically. Dont switch to diet coke – its worse. it contains aspartame which breaks down to formaldyhide (formic acid) which is ant poison when store in warm places – eg warehousesm trucks etc. Do a google search if you dont belive me.
stop drinking the stuff – go away panic attacks!

I thought to break a habit it was 36000 repetitions (I’ve heard 21 days also)
The neuro enhancing effect that Tim describes (brain race uncontrollably and frenetically) is exactly what I’ve been experiencing dramatically for quite some time now often to the point of being dysfunctal.
As for aspartame, I avoid it with a passion. Someone in the grocery store influenced me greatly to stay away from processed and artifical foods. Granted, our lifestyle hasn’t permitted the exclusion of highly processed foods but we use natural foods whenever possible.
I have not completely eliminated caffeine. I went without for 5 days and then allowed myself 1 glass of X (be it coke or tea or whatever) per day. A fog has lifted from my mind and my soul has achieved a calm not felt in a looong time!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI feel dehydrated. I feel buzzed. I feel a hollow dull throb in my head. My sinuses still feel like they have glue in them. But overall I feel GREAT!
Had much fun with the family and the girl scout cookie sales. My wife is so together and organized that everything went very smoothly!
The baby had too much cuteness to report. The 7 yr old said too many funny things. The 10 yr was blowing in the wind. And the 13 yr old was going a mile a minute but stayed in control and managed himself well.

This Morning
Sinuses really bad this morning. Wondering if the mold in the car we drop for the first time in about a year activated them, or if the warm weather and sudden plant growth is causing alergies, or if this is residual from the cold (which the heaviness in my chest implies). Perhaps I should take some allergy medicine just to be sure.
So much to do in 3 days!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeBecause of my sickness I didn’t have the energy to brew coffee for 4 days. I’ve now been an entire week on almost no caffiene. During the sales trip I had 1 coke and 1 sweet tea then wednesday I think I had 1 coke and today I’ve had 1 coke. My mind literally feels so much calmer! I had been drinking 2 pots of coffee a day.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeDid much cleaning in the office. There is so much more to do. Did not find the car title. Did find some of the other paperwork. Took the girls to the warehouse with all the girlscout cookies then helped them set up to sell cookies in the mall. They could do really well! Now I’m home with the baby. At least one of the two of us needs a nap.
Still distraught that I’m going to be spending so much time out of town and away from the family. Equally worried that I don’t have the finances to pull off this trip.

This Morning
Exhausted from these past few days but relieved to have one stressor gone. Next stressor is Girl Scout cookie sales and employment.
The bank account is below $200. I’ve accepted a 3 week job that is onsite 3 hours from home. Of course, we all know that means they’ll want it to be much longer. I am hoping that once it starts I can turn it into remote work. The first check won’t come until after the 16th of the month. Paying for food, tags ($35) for the car, gas and hotel will be a challenge.
I put myself in this situation. I know how to get business into this house without having to travel 3 hours. I just am not doing it!
