We just listened to an audio book, Plagues, Pandemics, (and something else. Can’t remember it) it was hours and hours long. (We had to make three trips to Medford, Oregon. About 7 hours, round trip) Bit of a story, here. Anyway…back to the audiobook.
Detailed, and in truth, pretty educational.
I worked in a medical clinic for some ten years. Knew to wash my hands.Well, apparently I did not learn well enough. I do wash my hands, but…
Now, I wash my hands, seriously, with soap. And, regularly. Like the lady said, “Wash your hands like you have been cutting jalapeño peppers, with no gloves”. Regularly. (the consequences of not doing so will give you nightmares)
Plus, keep your hands away from your eyes and mouth. Period. Bacteria and germs have a straight shot into your system, here.

Plagues, Pandemics and Viruses: From the Plague of Athens to COVID-19
Spoiler
https://www.amazon.com/Plagues-Pandemics-Viruses-Plague-COVID-19/dp/B08M6D2ZH8 Listen to the preview
SpoilerIt can come in waves - like tidal waves. It changes societies. It disrupts life. It ends lives. As far back as 3000 B.C.E. (the Bronze Age), plagues have stricken mankind. COVID-19 is just the latest example, but history shows that life continues. It shows that knowledge and social cooperation can save lives.
Viruses are neither alive nor dead and are the closest thing we have to zombies. Their only known function is to replicate themselves, which can have devastating consequences on their hosts. Most, but not all, bacteria are good for us. Some are truly horrific, including those that caused the bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic plagues. And viruses and bacteria are always morphing, evolving, and changing, making them hard to treat. The book is an enlightening, and sometimes frightening, recounting of the destruction wrought by disease, but it also looks at what humanity has done and can do to overcome even the deadliest and bleakest of contagions.

Do you think the Angels…..
Miss Bea replied to myvalk's topic in General Discussion & Everyday Chit Chat
I’ve sort of thought the angels give us our dignity. They may notice the things we are comfortable with, but, they are for sure give us privacy when it’s merited. Whatever is attached to our worship, they are aware of, and I do believe on occasion, they do save our lives. (Why, I don’t question) They may be there as we go about our day. (To just shop, it is a two hour trip, one way. I always pray for Jehovah to get me home safe, so i can worship him another day) I don’t think we will ever know the extent to which they touch our lives. But, they are there, and they are a gift from Jehovah. I sort of think this system is crazier than we are aware of, (unclean spirit activities) and we receive regular protection from the full insanity, of Satanʼs system. What part do the angels play, as a result of our closeness to Jehovah? Its a package deal! -

"Just See Yourself..." a book by Thomas Walker
Miss Bea replied to Thomas Walker's topic in Secular Books & Literature
I have it, i cannot tell you how many times Iʼve listened to bits and pieces of it. I cannot listen to fiction because i will listen to it to relax me at night, then off I go to sleep. So, now, i start at random places, and listen away! I have listened to it in its entirity, so now, iʼm just having fun with it. If we get more in the future, excellent. If not, we are well taken care of by Jehovah. -
Well, my latest adventure. Yesterday was our circuit assembly. Wonderful, by the way.
Day before. Working in the garden. Me, puttering away, doing in as many wild berries, as i could. Sid, my husband, getting ready to burn a dried pile of briers. It had a tarp on it. Um, garden snakes had made the pile of briars its home. About 20 of them. And three lizards. We got them out of there. And moved the burn pile, in case they had any underground homes.
Well my hair got smoke on it.
I had to wash it, and i had not planned on it. By now, later in the day.
My hair is long, and, um, white. I use purple stuff to get rid if the orange mineral deposits. I grabbed some outdated stuff. When i finished, my hair was purple. I kid you not. Purple. I showed my hair to Sid, he said, “Donʼt worry about it”. (Bless his heart)Well, I am not going to the assembly with PURPLE hair. It’s semi-permanent. I grabbed
Dawn soap. I had to wash it three times. I has a light lavender highlights, that are under the top layer of my hair.
No one noticed! And I actually got a compliment.I know this is a bit mundane, but, Iʼm still chuckling over it all.

Hard water damages hair by coating it with layers of mineral deposits, including calcium, iron and manganese. These minerals can even turn your hair an unsightly orange or brassy color
SpoilerStep 1
Rinse your hair with purified water after shampooing. This will wash away mineral deposits left by the hard water.
Step 2
Wash hair with a clarifying shampoo that's designed to eliminate buildup and residue. After shampooing, treat your hair with conditioner, then rinse.
Step 3
Combine 2 tablespoons of white or apple-cider vinegar with 1 pint of lukewarm water. Pour the vinegar mixture over your hair in the shower. For better coverage, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and mist your hair all over. Leave the vinegar in your hair for as long as 10 minutes, then rinse well. The odor of the vinegar will go away after your hair dries.
Step 4 - 6
You should try the purple hair style. You'll look equally gorgeous in purple. Just not for large gathering

This is why i do not like to wash my hair. Its a bit of a process. I do this and do that, and then deep conditiom the mess i made.
If I lived closer to the beauty saloon, and, um, could afford it, Iʼd pay someone to wash it.
Cut it? No, believe it or not, other then washing, it is easy maintence, longer. Thanks for your attempt to help me. 🌹-

Years ago, I had my 401K trusted to the system. I was dwindling away, a few hundred, at a time. I went to the broker when our meetings went from 3 to 2. I had decided the system was sliding on its way out. I went to the guy who handles such, told him he needed to fix it, or, “I would pull it out and bury it on the hill”. I dont know the ramifications of such, but he put what i had in bonds. Them 2008 happened. I was safe. ( as safe as you can be in this system)

Thing is, when you start following blood lines, I’d wonder. I know Native Americans in this area from our tribe can go over to a spot across the river, KenNek, and tell you with a straight face, “This is where our Tribe was born, time immemorial ago. I would never dispute this heart-felt belief, but you and I know better. Now, I’m not going to pretend I know anything about Korean history. To me being anything that identifies one being from a specific country identifies their national background, not race. Race, thats where it gets interesting. We are all cousins. 66th cousins. (Or so, last i heard) What I want to know, say, Korea. Where did the ones who settled in Korea migrate from? Where we all ended up is a result of migration. I sort of think. When i had my DNA done, Iʼm not the result of our local tribe that has been here for hundreds of years. Like I said, my indigenous blood comes from indigenous people from Alaska to South America. Or, am I out in left field, wandering around?

JD Carlson- ”One of my cousins (son of my mother's brother) sent in his DNA to a testing site. It came back showing African descendancy. My mother was astounded.” That happened to me. I was delighted to have cousins in Africa. I’m mostly Native American. A member of the Yurok Tribe. My mother was mostly Native American. My dad was from the English part of Europe. In reality, a bit of a mix like most of us. He did claim to be 1/4 Cherokee… On my Mom’s side, the indigenous blood came from Alaska, to South America, and parts in between. In this country the indigenous people, and the African people, um, made good friends amongst themselves. Historically. On the eastern coast. They were people of color, and treated about the same. Except, the Natives were not made slaves, by the dominant culture, (With a few exceptions.) There were ones who escaped their slave owners, and took refuge with the natives in that area. I suspect that was sort of the same story in South America. Except, it was Portuguese people that thought they ran the place. This I know. When the resurrections start to unfold, it will be more than fascinating.

Miss Bea replied to pineapple005's topic in A Banquet of Rich Dishes & Fine Wine
Sounds like I really good idea. Thing is, mason jars. Glass. I’ve thought of glass as a no-no at our conventions. Maybe that’s changed.- 68 replies

Peace and Security, Great Tribulation, Armageddon
Miss Bea replied to Dhanyel's topic in Secular News in the Mainstream Media
After realizing washers were nothing but a tub, agitator, and a computer, my dear husband did buy me a commercial Speed Queen. A real washer. It does have a computer, made in Germany. If it weren’t for the new system being just around the corner, (I hope) it would probably outlast me. I have no dryer, there was no expense there. I figured if I managed for 30 years or so, no dryer, why one now? Sid has been saving for a new truck. Now, he can’t see that happening anytime too soon. Crazy…
