I am laughing my head off at you naming your cat, Yikes! That's dang funny. Those are great international names. Thank you for those suggestions. I guess "Brown Dog" is a little blah. How do you say that French one? Chow mein? Isn't that sorta oriental-like Chinese or Japanese? Wouldn’t that make the dog mean as she would be having to fight all the other dogs who were laughing at a dog whose name is a Japanese dinner? Also, wouldn’t that confuse her as she might be thinking you are saying what’s for dinner or something? Like every time she hears her name called she might think, “Oh, not again! We just had it and I don’t like it.” How do you know all those languages anyway? Is it because you haven't had electricity for a while and so you learned them instead of watching "American Idol" or "You say you can dance?"
I think you would pronounce the French name "Shee-en" I guess. What do I know? I took French at Washington Jr. High, but the only French sentence I can remember is "Where is the library?" I guess if I was lost in France (or parts of Canada), if I could get to a library, I could find out all I needed to know to get un-lost.I got the names by going to a free online translation site and typing in "brown dog". I use that sometimes to come up with names of the rescue dogs. After so many years, it gets hard coming up with something original. You can only name so many dogs Buster or Lady.Chow Mein would work, too. (LOL)Hey...even without electricity we watched TV. We had a 12-volt TV and a couple of car batteries hooked up to the generator. But you could only watch for so long before the battery went dead. And it had to be black and white. Color just drained it too dang fast. And if the battery went dead, then we'd have to fire up the generator to recharge the batteries. Oh, the things we did.....I LOVE my power!!!

Here is the formula for Dave's Tonic Elixir

1 large glass of distilled water
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 Teaspoon of Concentrace minerals from Great Salt Lake
Stevia to sweeten to taste

Stir thoroughly

Drink first thing in the morning prior to having anything to eat at all
Drink another glass about 11:00
Drink another one about 3:00

This will take your appetite away. It is a cleanser so be careful. You may need to ease into the amount you take.

This is a very acid drink but it leaves an alkaline ash.
You'll feel like a million bucks.
Blood sugar will be leveled-no spikes.
Stomach will feel really good.
Skin will become shiny-really improves your skin.
Medicines will act much more effectively.
Cholesterol will be lowered.
Blood pressure will be lowered.
You won't want to drink a coke, eat a lot of sugary things or eat breads.
Be sure to exercise and take fish oil as a supplement.

Read up on an alkaline diet vs. an acid one.

INvention for today 11/11/08

I'm thinking of a little generator that would store up energy as the animal walked around. For example for a dog, when he got home you could plug him in and a little light would come on that would light up the area he travels. If he got up to pee on the corner of your couch in the night you would be able to hit him with a shoe because of the little light he had tied to his head. Cool idea, huh? I call it the dog catcher light. dc

Adding events to the calendar

Does anybody know how to add an event on this stupid calendar?

Garden tools invention

Problem: keeping your shovels etc in a place that is easy to retreive them.Invention: This is an easy one. The invention takes a leaf from a golf bag. I'll bet some of you already know what I am going to say. Just get some large PVC pipe, cut it to fit inside and pack it together in a 50 gallon drum using wire to hold them straight and the put the implements in handles first and there you go.Invention names; Davie's handy tool caddies

Inventions and Elixirs, The Beginning

I always wanted to find a website that had inventions and elixirs on it and when I searched I could never find one. Well, I have always wanted one since yesterday when Kelli made this site for me. I love to invent and sometimes I'll spend more time inventin' than fixing the project that I want to fix with an invention. I want to invent 3 inventions a day. I'll put them on this Blog if I can remember them long enough to post them. I'll talk about Elixirs later as now I'm "inventin'." You as me a question that needs an answer and I'll invent something if there isn't an answer already. Now if you're slow at running into a problem then I'll invent something anyway until the problem comes up. Here goes.............
