Annie-O's Profile

Love reading your words! Would like to have seen a picture of YOU - but you're probably hiding behind that bass line, aren't you?! Keep up the good work/play!

You've really got the touch, this feels so very homey at the same time as well-appointed!

I brush my teeth with baking soda, but it does irritate my underarms. And BTW, I don't shave - thankfully, I lived in Europe as a teen and got out of that anti-female habit. Can you imagine men putting up with a 5 o'clock shadow in an area of their body that RUBS against itself? I didn't think so. Women have been brainwashed to think the hair "holds the smell." Silliness. If anything holds it, it's going to be the clothing. Lack of hair doesn't keep the sweat from existing!

Anti-perspirants do, though. I'm convinced they're a big contributor to breast cancer. Imagine plugging up the route our body uses to eliminate toxins. Brilliant.

Cutting-edge dentists are quick to point out that the "don't use baking soda on your teeth" is flouride-industry propaganda, and I agree. Flouride calcifies your pineal gland, the seat of intuition. And it's toxic waste from aluminum mining. And has been proven to NOT decrease cavities. Sorry, but right now it's up for a vote in my city. Hot button.

I appreciate the heads-up about the tea tree oil.

Great post, and I will try it. The "crystal" deodorant used to work for me but recently, seems to have little effectiveness.

Yes, the room in my house that seems most like an office just didn't feel good. It's now a dressing and storage room, and the dining room is my office. The latter overlooks the creek and has a view of tall trees, a wooded area. Makes "work" a thousand times more palatable!

A piece can have the 'relaxing' elements (beat frequency, etc) yet also, overlaid, have disturbing messages that 'go in' better because of the former. This is dangerous manipulation.

It's a very old and well-known trick, actually. There's something about the speed of images shown on TV that has the effect of lulling people into non-questioning complacency.

With all the high-level manipulation of people's psyches going on, I wouldn't trust some think-tank that's likely funded by none other than the manipulators.

After I listened to the first song, as soon as it stopped, I found that my jaw released - meaning, the song had tightened it up. So, yeah. Use discrimination.

Wow, THANK YOU for this! I had no idea these inexpensive options were out there!

I ditched my $70-a-month ridiculous Comcast bill (and that was with only VERY basic TV) and haven't regretted it once. But it would still be nice to at least HAVE some TV reception available.

With all the actual problems in the world, it must be very burdensome to have strong emotional reactions to things at the level of how baths are decorated.

Fewer clothes doesn't equal less frequent laundering; if anything, the opposite should be true.

A variant on this suggestion: "Fill a medium size garbage can halfway with water and put a glob of peanut butter at the edge and leave out overnight. The mouse will will fall in trying to eat peanut butter and drown. Sad, but no more mouse."

I once woke up to find a mouse in my sink, trying unsuccessfully to jump out. I simply grabbed an old coffee can and held it where he'd fall into it on his next jump. EASIEST CATCH EVER! I hope he enjoyed his new home in the back yard.

I think they're all unexpected. I like the one where you can look out the garage door from the desk (seasonally, anyway - but it looks like a glass door, so - cool!). I've found that desks in convenient but closed-off spaces don't work for me. Being able to see nature whenever I glance up makes a HUGE difference in my state of mind!
