Cinnamon @ MindSay 
recipe
Interesting...
Did y'all know that kitties don't like cinnamon? I just found this out over breakfast....
GOT ANTS ???????
We have a pesky ant problem pretty much every year. And with all the animals around I hate using any kind of pesticides.
This year mom handed me a page out of some magazine with natural repellents / pesticides. I had set it aside but when I saw the two inch trail of ants on our split rail fence yesterday that led to the base of our home and up the side into the rafters I remembered it.
The suggestion for ants ...... ground cinnamon, ground cayenne, bay leaves.
So off to the spice cupboard I went. Found what was left of our ground cinnamon and ground cayenne pepper and headed out to see if it worked.
A simple line across the rail of the fence of cinnamon sent the ants into a tailspin. The red pepper ???? Handled them the same way. So off to the grocery store I went ...... bought the largest cheapest containers of both and proceeded to spice up the fence ...... and the base of the house.
This morning ...... virtually ant free .....
It works ...... and the fence smells good to!
Peace. J.

Alas, not much traffic was directed to the WeeWerks GmbH Blog thang for we know what ye do and we do so through the miracle of the Internet. Oh yeah, a big howdy goes out to all the fine folks in the Tempe, Arizona area - SALUTE!!!
Ew, that all makes the finest company on the Internet seem like it is a Big Brother sort of organization, which we are not... well, maybe we are with the employees here at the home office for if we did not do so those employees would spend their days goofing off on the Internet and if management discovered this fact, the goof-off employees would have their salaries dramatically reduced...
Which gives me an idea that I will give to the world free of charge. Being that any respectable company would have its own network with all computers running through a server and this server has the capability to record all Internet activity in a log file, all a company needs to do is to charge their employees per page load of nonbusiness pages - let's say like a dollar per page - and this fee can go straight to the bottom line to improve the numbers that the stockholders demand. Take this knowledge now, my children, and go ye now in peace...

Cinnamon Soup
Last night I waited till the last minute to think of something for dinner and after checking out the frig decided that I needed to use up some vegetables.
So I threw into a pot some mushrooms, spinach, onion, tomato, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper, can of tomato sauce, oregano, sweet basil, and what I thought was cumin ..... that was actually cinnamon. This shit happens when I don't wear my glasses anymore. I opened the jar and poured a good amount of cinnamon into my pot. I kinda freaked out a bit but just continued on .... adding some vegetable broth and water to make a nice veggie soup. I added some extra garlic (ok, a shit load of garlic) to hopefully over take the cinnamon.
I didn't say a word to Dave or my mom. Dave was the first to say "did you put ginger in here?" .... "No." ..... "there's something in here I can't put my finger on it." I wait a few minutes and decide I can't lie. I admit I mistakenly put cinnamon in the soup. "I like it" .... he says. "I really do."
Every now and then you would get a hint of cinnamon and it wasn't all that bad. Mom decided we'd have the leftovers tonight .... I wonder if the flavor will be any more pronounced?
**********************************
Dave went to the doctor today for his follow up to his colonoscopy. All is well. Which seemed to bother Dave. I swear .... I'm starting to think this man WANTS something to be wrong with him. I know he doesn't but sometimes I really wonder. He has always believed he would not live to be 70. And with 62 just around the corner I guess he just thinks something should be wrong. He won't or can't accept the doctors "natural part of aging" reasoning. Things change when you get older. Our bodies change ..... shit changes .... it happens to all of us. Bottom line is this ..... after smoking cigarettes for 40+ years (and pot still) his lungs are in excellent shape, his heart is in excellent shape, his damn intestines are in excellent shape, yeah, his back is fucked up .... but he has decided to live with that pain. His knee is fucked up and eventually will need surgery. But he is cancer free .... disease free .... be happy damn it!
************************************
Tomorrow I think I'm going to do my year in review ..... the good, bad and ugly. There was plenty of bad and ugly. But the good made up for any of the nasty hits I took this year. It is definitely time for a change. A positive change.
Peace. J.
