Greetings out there. Hope everyone enjoyed a “sweet” Valentine’s Day celebration.
Wonder how they celebrate chocolate in Pigville, USA? Chocolate covered sausages???????????
Reflecting back on my recent visit to the 4,000 herd of Swine, I thought how much more pigs help mankind than just fill up a breakfast plate or a Bar B Q grill with pork ribs.
Pigs are making far greater sacrifices than giving Granny Abby a kiss to help raise funds for the Orphanage in Mexico. (Which by the way is in need of your giving your dollars and hoping you’ll join in the race soon.) Keep printing out those canister labels and setting them out for filling.
More recently, we have heard of skin grafts, yep, guess whose skin they can use. How about heart surgery? They are making porcine stents in open heart operations to save lives.
Guess, I’ll never look at Bacon in quite the same way again, how about you?
When I was out on the road, chasing down the “special” porker, the Latin term is porcus, meaning pig, part of the adventure was seeing how friendly, gentle and inquisitive these giant, but admittedly aromatic creatures can be. As we made our way down the walk way in the building these huge, oinking , animals actually climbed and tried to push one another out of the way to have their head scratched. They LOVE people attention.
I REALLY feel a book coming on in the future, after the busy-ness of the fundraiser ends.
An update on H1N1 - I refuse to call it the “S” word. They got such a bad wrap on that one.
Okay, so you have the flu, whatever flu it may be and you need lots of fluids, juice, even want to ice a headache? Well, go to the refrigerator and take care of that urgent need. ‘WAIT” all this time we have been focusing on flush handles, computers, tv remotes, and games like sports alive, wow what about the handle on the refrigerator. Yikes, major Clorox, Lysol need here!
You still need to stay home if you have a fever- at least 24 hours after the unmedicated fever, sneeze in your sleeve, disinfect as many hard surfaces as possible. Wash hands for 2 minutes ….frequently.
One of the greatest helps- use a humidifier, keeping nasal and throat passages lubricated is a proven way to deter invasion of germs. Use Saline nasal spray 2-3 times a day, and run a humidifier to keep your home at 40-60% moisture level. Flu and germ viruses LOVE dry noses and throats.
Well, so much for this time. Please go to kissapig.info and send your gift to the orphans. Love, Granny
