9th October, 2008. 7:00 am. Elder's Meditation - Love "That spiritual power I wear is much more beautiful and much greater. We call it wisdom, knowledge, power and gift or love. There are these four parts to that spiritual power. So I wear those. When you wear that power it will beautify your mind and spirit. You become beautiful. Everything that Tunkashila creates is beautiful." --Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA When I was young, I asked my grandfather, "What should I pray for?" He thought for a long time and then he said, "Pray only for wisdom and for the knowledge of love." This makes a lot of sense. No matter what happens I ask the Creator to show me the lessons I should be learning. I pray for Him to help me learn the lessons. By doing this everyday we become beautiful human beings. Make Notes

3rd October, 2008. 9:05 am. New drug in Schools... Please pass this on even if you do not have kids in school. Parernts should know about this killer drug. Grandparents, send it to your familys and friends. This is a new drug known as 'strawberry quick '. There is a very scary thing going on in the schools right now that we all need to be aware of. There is a type of crystal meth going around that looks like strawberry pop rocks (the candy that sizzles and 'pops' in your mouth). It also smells like strawberry and it is being handed out to kids in school yards. They are calling it strawberry meth or strawberry quick. Kids are ingesting this thinking that it is candy and being rushed off to the hospital in dire condition. It also comes in chocolate, peanut butter, cola, cherry, grape and orange. Please instruct your children not to accept candy from strangers and even not to accept candy that looks like this from a friend (who may have been given it and believed it is candy) and to take any that they may have to a teacher, principal, etc. immediately. Pass this email on to as many people as you can (even if they don't have kids)so that we can raise awareness and hopefully prevent any tragedies from occurring. Make Notes

2nd October, 2008. 6:03 am. Wet month!!! What a surprise, huh? September tied for tenth wettest in Juneau It was a wet September in Juneau. Meteorologist Vaughn says precipitation amounted to 10.84 inches which is 3.3 inches above normal. It rained 27 of the 30 days. The 14th was the wettest day with 1.57 inches. Other days with over one inch of rain fall were on the 28th and 29th with nearly 1.2 inches each day. Vaughn says last month was tied as the tenth wettest September on record with 1952. The wettest was 1991 when there was 15.14 inches. Temperatures were near normal at 50 degrees. The last day of the month produced a record high for the date when it reached 62 degrees. The low was 32 degrees on the 24th. Average winds were around seven miles per hour. The highest winds were reported on the last day of the month with a peak of 44 miles per hour out of the southeast.

2nd October, 2008. 8:05 am. 10 Things You Must Have in Your Medicine Cabinet By Dr. Orrange I am often called in the middle of the night by patients who have woken up with hives, a high fever or itching and don't have access to common remedies all of us should have in our medicine cabinet. Let's talk about what you need and why to save you the 1 AM trip to the pharmacy. 1) Pain relievers and fever reducers: The two you need are acetaminophen (Tylenol) and any NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) which includes ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, or Aleve. For pain or fever you can alternate Tylenol with an NSAID every 4-6 hours because they are two very different medications that can work for you in tandem. An IMPORTANT thing to remember is that while Tylenol is a pain reliever and fever reducer it is NOT an anti-inflammatory so for certain types of pain (tooth pain, acute back pain) an NSAID may be more effective. 2) Antibiotic ointment: For cuts and scrapes you should have Polysporin or Neosporin (both similar topical antibacterials) in your medicine cabinet. I'm not a huge fan of cleaning simple wounds with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. You can wash it with warm water and soap and apply one of the above topical ointments twice a day for a couple of days with a loose band aid. 3) Antacids for heartburn, upset stomach and bloating: Maalox and Mylanta (equivalent ingredients for the most part) are good for quick relief. The H2 blockers like Zantac, Pepcid and Tagamet are also a must have as you can take those along with Mylanta or Maalox. Think of the Maalox as soothing and coating the stomach and the H2 blockers following their lead and decreasing the effects of acid on the stomach and esophagus. 4) Allergies: Take advantage of the fact that these are now over the counter. The nonsedating antihistamines (Claritin, Zyrtec) with or without the Sudafed (the "D" part tagged on to the end of the name) should not make you tired and can work for most allergy symptoms. 5) Benadryl: I put this on its own because I think it's so important. Everyone should have Benadryl 25 mg tablets in their medicine cabinet. Benadryl will work for hives and itching from pretty much anything (poison ivy, animal allergies, medication allergies, food allergies). Benadryl's main side effect of making you sleepy is also why you can use it for occasional insomnia. Remember Tylenol PM is just Tylenol with Benadryl. 6) Cold and cough: Let's face it the over the counter cough medicines don't work great if at all. What will help some of the cold symptoms (stuffy nose, ear congestion, and sinus pain) is a decongestant like Sudafed. For a PRODUCTIVE cough where you are bringing up junk an expectorant like Mucinex (Guaifenesin) can work well to help you bring up that junk from your tight chest. 7) Hydrocortisone cream: Again I put this solo because of importance. A 1% topical hydrocortisone cream is essential for relieving itching and inflammation from many skin lesions. You will see many variations of this cream at a pharmacy with different names, with or without aloe, etc. You just need the 1% hydrocortisone cream. Use it to help you with any skin issue that ITCHES: bug bites, poison ivy or any contact dermatitis (an allergic skin reaction from something that touched you). 8) Diarrhea: Immodium (Loperamide) is your best over the counter option. Period. 9) Nausea: There are many anti-emetics that require a prescription but Dramamine over the counter tablets will work well. As you know you can also use them for prevention of motion sickness so they are good to have on hand. 10) Let's call this one "special needs": The MUST HAVE for those of you who are sexually active is CONDOMS. Please people for sexually transmitted disease and pregnancy prevention these are still our BEST option. Dr O. Make Notes

2nd October, 2008. 7:43 am. A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart and the husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their shopping cart. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife. 'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans,' he replies. 'Put them back, we can't afford them,' demands the wife and so they carry on shopping. A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the shopping cart. 'What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband. 'It's my face cream. It makes me look pretty,' replies the wife. Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Budweiser and its half the price!' Read 2 Notes - Make Notes

29th September, 2008. 12:59 am. 9 hours ago So about 9 hours ago, at David's request, I went to supervise the exchange of kids between Jen and David. Mary cried for her mommy, Everly and Devaun had tons to tell him and ask him. Jen got back in her car while David buckled in the kids. I was wondering what she was waiting for, but when David got into the driver's seat she started to pull out. I had parked directly behind Jess and when I walked past his car, I said through his open window "You guys could have called for this, too" His response was "Jen doesn't trust you". Wow. I told him that was nice to know and went to Moby. I called him and asked him if that is why he has been treating me the way he has. He told me I haven't been supportive or a very good friend. One of the things he said was that I have never said I wanted him to be happy. I said bullshit! I even have a text -- and he hung up on me. So I scanned through my text messages and found the one still in my phone that says to him I want him to be happy and forwarded it to him. I gave him a few minutes to receive and read and called him back. His tone was a little sheepish at first, but then he got right back into the accusations of my failures as a friend - not asking how he and Jen are doing - well that one has been obvious as they are always together, but I didn't think of saying that. I don't do this, I don't do that, people are saying I'm talking trash about them behind their backs (I wonder who is saying that and what sort of trash I'm supposed to be saying). What it basically boiled down to is that in minding my own business and not taking sides in this matter, I have become Jess and Jen's enemy. Forget that I have been the one to come to his office to visit him. Never mind that I have been the one to come to where he is staying to say hello after my class. Never mind that even when he was being a one-word butthead in his text messaging - I still asked him how his day was or sent him something wishing him a good day. After that kind of treatment from him I stopped text messaging him just to see if he even cared to hear from me and he didn't say a word to me until today. And what he had to say today was just awful. And everything he said about me is so totally true of how he has been behaving towards me. But even though he was a shit, I still tried to keep the friendship going. Our last real communication was the 22 when he was worried about his registration and pulling the money together for the apartment he was approved for downtown. Make Notes
