Is there any truth to this stuff? Uncle Howie tells you that he read in the National Enquirer about an herb that has better antibacterial effects on cuts and scrapes than Neosporin ointment — never mind that Neosporin is composed of three different antibiotics that come originally from bacteria themselves. So you set out on a quest to purchase some of this herb, known colloquially as goldenseal. When you go to your local Whole Hippie Dump-a-Load-of-Cash Emporium you find goldenseal alright, in about twenty different forms. On one side of the aisle are containers with loose, crushed up leaves and roots that look like medical marijuana. On a shelf, you find see-through capsules that seem to contain a powdered version of the herb. Down the aisle a...

But the rents won’t let you use the backyard anymore, after that unfortunate incident with the fire pit? Well, check this out, dude: A tiny, hydroponic gardening system, called LabBox. It’s got a drip irrigation system and LED lights. Whoa, this would be perfect for growing po—uhh, peppers. Totally rad for growing peppers in our closets. And our Bob Marley posters are going to look dope with those lights. via Inhabitat Post from: BlissTree World's Smallest Hydroponic Garden Perfect for Growing Weed (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3902873 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:15:40 +0100 3902873 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3784221&cid=t_102953_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2F10-things-we-want-to-do-this-weekend-9%2F We hope the weather is good this weekend — we’ve got way too much planned to get slowed down by rain. Here’s how we’re going to be spending our time. What’s in the cards for you? Check out our medicine chest. It’s good to peek every once in a while to make sure that nothing is expired, and to double check the doses on our supplements and vitamins to make sure we aren’t taking too much. Watch a gross-out movie. We haven’t had an old-fashioned gore fest in a long time, and our stomachs are a little stronger since we read all the sick things we could do with a placenta. Spread some peace, man. Why not use this weekend to build up some good karma? Make a Caesar salad. A leisurely Saturday afternoon seems like the perfect time to try an updated ...

And why people who want things like that are so perplexing to those who don’t. Those who wonder, in their golden ways what’s so funny about gallows humor, the sole comfort of those who’ve escaped the hangman and an affront to those who have no knowledge of his existence. Welp, there it is, in black & white, no less. Thanks by W.S.

Tonight’s local debate party will be kicked off with music by the world’s most charismatic outlaw who’s sly compassion is as legendary as his high and lonesome zensoaked warble. Jimmie Dale Gilmore is a Saint. This is not hyperbole, but a well-known fact. I can’t find the words and believe me I’ve tried. Anyone familiar with my (cough cough) oeuvre might recall I spent my first year in Austin lost and determined to self-destruct in a flamboyant way but what you don’t know is it was Jimmie’s Wednesday night supper shows at Threadgills that kept me tethered to the planet. And I didn’t have to pretend I wasn’t hateful, alien...

Via, an old wiki entry that’s been replaced by a more clinical definition, alas: “The goal of psychodynamic therapy is the experience of truth. This truth must be encountered through the breakdown of psychological defenses. Simply stated: [psychodynamic] psychotherapy teaches the client to be honest. Individuals suffering from “psychological disorders” or deep-rooted “personality disorders,” often come from confusing, manipulative, dishonest, or even violent families in childhood. Being honest with ones feelings is a difficult, even terrifying process for these people. But there is a silver lining. If the patient client is willing to face up to their hidden secrets they will discover the unconscious reason for many of their feelings, and ther...

The truth is, I have never really felt part of anything. This is not a complaint but simply a matter of fact statement, similar to “I have never been to Antarctica”.My parents had children soon after they married. Years later, my mother went to the doctor to inform him she had reached the menopause. He informed her she was pregnant. Some months later I was dragged kicking and screaming into a world where my siblings were almost grown up. They were “the boys” and I was “the wean” (for the purpose of this tale, I’ll conveniently forget my sister who bridged the gap between us). By this stage in his life, my poor dad was forever at the doctors. I later discovered The Doctors was a pub just outside his work. Appa...
