Here is the story of how a new probiotic rescued my day from ruin. I was having breakfast with a friend on the morning after a wonderful overnight in Mussel Shoals. We stopped at a restaurant on our way to Port Hueneme. I ordered a new dish on the menu. We stopped at the Camarillo Outlet Mall for a quick errand and suddenly my stomach was in distress. Over the next ten minutes I felt it getting worse and headed to the public restroom to prepare for the worst. It felt like my gut was filling with gas and it was becoming extremely painful.

A description in a few words I love photography. It carries me away and the world does not interfere. I am free to express my thoughts. I write inconsistently. Not because I have nothing to say, but because I wait until a strong thought comes to me and I feel an urge to express it. I often write for speeches I give at Toastmasters clubs. I design T-shirts, graphic arts posters and sometimes my doodles turn out to be what I expected. I am new to this and am slowly learning how to get better at it. Enjoy yourself here. My musings are for fun.

I do not suffer from migraines, but many do. Those who do suffer in all aspects of their life. Now it is possible for migraine relief – at last. Migraines are not just headaches. Migraines have other symptoms that cause a person to stop doing normal activity. It could include nausea, vomiting, and or vision difficulties. Most people who suffer look everywhere for relief. When I heard that my wellness doctor was now treating migraine sufferers and overheard a story from a patient in his waiting room, I was pleased. I then found out he was publishing a book to reach even more sufferers withRead More →

It can happen fast. You can lose your email address even if you have had it for years, simply by forgetting the password and not having a backup email for recovery. I encounter this all the time. Especially with those who have had the same account for years and possibly the same password. Email providers are requiring more security from their customers and that means changing a password frequently. Forgetting a password is easy. So is making sure you have a way to get it reset if you forget it. You can use a friend’s email, a spouse or other trusted person to be yourRead More →

I have been out and about with a friend and my cameras. So refreshing to look around and see small and colorful things in nature to photograph. The Painted Lady Butterfly was on the ground. It was just one of many in a butterfly tent. The colors and unique patterns on these are fun to shoot. We had to be very careful while walking. Then we saw flowers, cacti, rocks, and more. Everywhere we looked, there was something to shoot. I hope you enjoy these as much as I did taking them. More of my work is outlined on the Photography Page.

There is a substantial amount of information about post-death processes and legal actions. Here are some of them. I will be updating this to further clarify the things you should know. In California, when a person passes away without a will (intestate), the process of handling their assets, including bank accounts, generally follows the rules of intestate succession. Here are some key steps and considerations: Always seek legal advice from professionals experienced in California probate and estate law to ensure compliance with the relevant regulations and to protect the interests of all involved parties.

This week I heard of another who died without having a plan in place for assets and monies. She has no family, Just a dog. While going under the knife for a heart valve problem – her body gave up and she died. She lived alone. The person who was her contact from the hospital now has the dog and was told to take her stamp collection if she did not make it. Not having a plan in place means her wishes are not known. Her money will end up with the state and her ashes placed in a generic county location. A person dyingRead More →

In an effort to remove allergens from my diet and enjoy the good things, I altered a recipe for oatmeal, chocolate chip cookies into a gluten-free version. This version uses gluten-free baking flour to substitute for wheat flour; Vermont maple sugar instead of brown sugar; sea salt, not table salt; healthy 72% Cacao chips as a substitute for chocolate chips. The result was a yummy soft sweet cookie that is a satisfying treat. The recipe below has links to the products I get from Amazon. Clicking on those links gives me a small commission, but does not change your shopping experience.
