MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. Shake my head with disbelief. Time passes quickly. Gotta keep that in mind when living.
Woke before 7. My internal clock is ticking and going off without an alarm. I like this as I have never been like this before. When the time change takes place then I will be waking around 6 in the morning if I keep this up and this is an ideal time for me to start my day. yep.
I've written out on an envelope what I would like to get accomplished for the day. A Business size envelope sits on the dumb waiter table that's beside my blue wing chair. Nothing fancy about the envelope, but easy to reach for to remind me through the day of my agenda. My personal reminder that I have this and that to do.
TODAY, I've scribbled on the envelope City Bill paid, microwave moved, table cleared, laundry, walk. If anything else happens, it doesn't have to be wrote down. Just that simple.
Yesterday, we traveled to Topeka and Manhattan. Busy trying to get Hubby's phone fixed. The place he started out with in Topeka informed him that the mother board in his phone is the problem after ordering a screen for it which meant waiting a week to receive the screen in the mail. They didn't run diagnostics before. He was without his phone for two weeks. They said they would have to send the phone off and it may not be savable. X amount of money to save the data.
We decided to drive to Manhattan to another place in Aggieville. So off we went with a better business experience for the time being. Very quickly they did diagnostics, explained the situation and we'll use this company. If the phone cannot be saved then it means purchasing a different phone. They don't give these away, do they? A huge expense that's not in the budget for someone on a limited income.
The older I've gotten the more I have sensed that we are being priced right out of the market for the modern world. Real Estate, computers, cell phones, automobiles, etc. all are getting uncomfortably priced right out of our range. The system is designed for that to keep you broke.
We stopped off at VARSITY DONUTS for a break. We were getting tired for two old people and we knew that they have hard wooden booths to sit on in a controlled climate atmosphere. Had a treat with water and played a game a CHECKERS. I haven't played CHECKERS in years. Hubby was the winner of our game. All in fun. No sore loser.
I wanted to get some KALE from the store and look for soy-free eggs. Can't find these eggs. Kale...no prob. We got to thinking about the eggs. The eggs take up whatever the chicken has been fed. A lot of places feed their chickens FISH MEAL because it's cheap. Fish Meal? Why when chickens don't usually eat fish, but bugs.
From a source I came across shares that fishmeal is alright for chickens to eat because the fishmeal is thus and so, but in my opinion CHICKENS were never meant to eat FISHMEAL. The fishmeal has to be dealt with in a special way or it will combust. Hello somebody. Which means chemicals are added?
Fishmeal is an excellent source of protein for poultry. It has high levels of essential amino acids such as methionine and lysine, and it also has a good balance of unsaturated fatty acids, certain minerals (available phosphorus), and vitamins (A, D, and B-complex). The use of fishmeal is usually restricted to 5% to 10% of the content of poultry diets.
Unfortunately, fishmeal is unstable and can spontaneously combust if not stored properly. The proteins in improperly stored fishmeal can also begin to break down, resulting in increasing levels of biogenic amines such as histamine. Consumption of high levels of histamine can cause gizzard erosion in chickens. In addition, fishmeal can be a source of foodborne pathogens, in particular, Salmonella spp.
Fishmeal used for animal feed must be stabilized with an antioxidant to preserve its quality. Ethoxyquin is typically added to commercial fishmeal to prevent oxidation, but ethoxyquin cannot be used in organic poultry feed. Naturox is an example of a “natural” antioxidant that can be used as an alternative to ethoxyquin. It contains a blend of tocopherols (vitamin E) and rosemary extract that counters the free radicals that start the oxidation process and cause fishmeal to become rancid. Lecithin is a chelator that also helps prevent the formation of free radicals.
I wasn't familiar with ETHOXYQUIN. Had to look that one up. https://www.naturalpedia.com/ethoxyquin-toxicity-side-effects-diseases-and-environmental-impacts.html
What are the chickens being fed that produce the eggs we are eating? They eat whatever their owners feed them and it enters into the bird's body as well as the eggs. Whalaah...we have eaten whatever. hum.

I'll be contacting the egg company to find out what kind of feed they are allowing their chickens to eat. Same with the pigs used for making NDT. Naturally Desiccated Thyroid.
Similar with pigs. Whatever they eat shows up in their meat about 8 to10 hours later. No getting around it unless you avoid pork. My thyroid meds are made from pig. I got to thinking what are the pigs fed that are used to make Armour Thyroid?
I will be checking into Bovine thyroid meds from New Zealand. If we really are not suppose to eat pork, taking meds that come from pork is a problem. All the inactive ingredients that are used in meds need to be taken into consideration because they can contribute to additional health issues. The so called inactive ingredients used in medicines can be GMO products like corn, wheat and rice.
Hyperdized wheat can be a monster to someone's health. The industry doesn't want to talk about it and when stuff is FDA approved...welp, the FDA allows products to be used that are not so great. Money talks. Like The American Diabetic Association takes donations from Coca Cola saying this sugary drink is alright to consume. The ADA? Diabetics beware.
If you have an allergy to inactive ingredients in medicine such as what is used to seal the meds in the capsule what do you do?
Is the FDA on the up and up about things? Can we still have an opinion that is different than what the FDA supports? Yes, but it will be frowned upon by many. Hello, somebody.
Hyperdized wheat is not what was used in bread when Jesus walked the earth.
I listened to a video by Robyn O'Brien and cleaning up the food supply. Eye opening. Will post.
