About Me

My photo
For me it is All About Being of Service & Living the Life of the Give-Away....

Being Mindful of those who are unable to speak for themselves; our Non-Two Legged Relations and the Future Generations.

It's about walking on the Canka Luta Waste Behind the Cannunpa and the ceremonies.

It's about Mindfulness and Respect. It's about Honesty and owning up to my foibles.

It's about: Mi Takuye Oyacin

There Are More than Twenty- Four (4) Other Presidential Candiates.....

I just finished voting: I Voted my Conscience....  I did Not vote "Mainstream", I did Not vote Bi-partisan. I Did However, VOTE GREEN!

 

I RESENT Like HELL ALL the so-called "Politically Correct" news groups I belong to, simply for the Fact that they have willfully & deliberately Ignored four (4) Presidential & four (4) Vice Presidential candidates.

I now no longer support: Daily Kos, Huffingtion Post, Think Progress, and other "Liberal" news sources.  They do not provide an all around view of the candidates & what is happening out there.

As for Raul Bocanegra & Richard Alarcon: Both of you men are shameful liars, cheats & abusers.... I'm not voting for either of you, and I will write in my own name, because I'm not bought & sold, nor do I lie, cheat, or frolic around!

As for Prop 37:  I HAVE The RIGHT To KNOW What I Am Purchasing/Eating.





I'm so tired of the Greed, Bullshit & Lies......   Frolic Citizens United, Frolic, the Insurance Companies & their Prop 33 Scam.

As for increasing my taxes for schools.....   The schools have more than enough money for teachers & education, they choose to spend it on administration.  When was the last time you looked at the salaries of Principals & Superintendents?  Well, I suggest you take a long hard look... that is where the $$$$ that should be spent on your child's education is really going.

My Kangen Water Machine







 
I am an owner of a "Kangen Level Luk Jr.™".

I purchased this machine 3 years ago....  There are definite pros & cons.  The pros are all about my health (which was damn good to begin with), but seems to have improved.  Alkaline water has definitely improved the cleanliness and taste of my food and coffee/tea.  It is wonderful as it diminished headaches from champagne & other alcohol, and it keeps my liver flushed as well. The 9.5 cleans all my foods & vegetables of pesticides & other suficant chemicals as well as my carpet of stains.

But the cons outweigh the price.  The machine (with every 15 minutes of use) cleans itself, but my machine cleans itself Every-Single-Time I turn it on (
I run it for less than 2 minutes each time I use it.)! I have sent the machine in 3 times for repair, it still cleans itself Every-Single Time I turn it on.  When I called the Torrance office, I was treated very rudely, as if I were stupid & knew not what I was talking about. 

The machine also has to be manually cleaned every month with "normal use"....  This is a pain in the tush, and Kangen distributors Do NOT tell you this until AFTER you purchase a machine.

The Kangen distributors Do Not tell you that: you have to purchase a new filter at least every year and depending on the area you live in, you will certainly need a dual chamber/stage filter on your water line, to keep the sediment out of the machine, because the sediment found in even "Clean" water clogs the flow.


They Do Not tell you that you "should" run the machine on ACID at least 1-2 minutes before running Alkaline (in order to keep the plates clean) every time you use the machine.

They do NOT Tell you that if you have calcium kidney stones or high potassium Not to Drink the water.  After my cat became expen$ively ill, I was poo-pooed by the distributor, but in fact, it is stated on the lower left front of the machine in small print to definitely avoid the Alkaline water.

Another complaint I have is: What to do with all the EXTRA water that you do not use to drink or cook with.  Because there are two hoses and the water is split into two unequal parts. Currently I water my plants with the acidic water, but not all plants like acidity.  Then there is the water that is spent from the cleaning process....what do you do with that? 
 

I hate wasting water.... So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.  I want the health benefits from the Alkaline water, but I don't want the waste or the time consumption of cleaning the machine or it cleaning itself more than necessary. 

When I purchased my Kangen machine, there were very few on the market that could compare, so I purchased it.  Now I know that there are better/equal machines for the same amount of money as the Level Luk Jr. ™.  Kangen only has a 3 year warranty on this particular machine... I have had mine in the shop 3 times within the first 1.5 years, and it still needs to go in for an adjustment. There are other machines on the market for the same price that have a Life-Time warranty and have 4 more solid plates than the Level Luk Jr. ™ (that makes for 7).



Health wise, ALKALINE Water is the way to go, but, before you spend the extra money on a Kangen machine, I suggest that you do some serious research and definitely shop around.  I'd most definitely suggest you look @ the Life 7.0 machine.  Or if you find the cost prohibitive then you go to your grocery store and look for Elemental or Essentia Alkaline water.  In the long run the bottled water will cost you more than a machine, but until you're serious enough to buy a machine, the bottled water is the way to go.

Drink up & Salud!

eBay: Doing Business


  1. eBay:

    Since the infamous Harridan, Meg Whitman, took over, destroyed, & left eBay....what is left of the global community marketplace?

    Auctions have become a joke.... Opening bids have become a joke. Commercial sellers have taken over what was once a good place to shop. Finding something from a non-commercial seller has almost become impossible.

    eBay has become all about GREED and the Almigty Dollar/Pound Euro.
    Items that have a modicum of worth are now going for outrageous prices. Opening bids are prohibitive.

    I recently purchased a rather expensive Renaissance gown. The workmanship would make my mother have a fit. This was from a "professional" LARP/SCA clothing provider. Even I Know how to turn an edge and blind stitch a seam in the SAME color thread as the material. Thankfully, when I contacted the seller about the shoddy workmanship, I was allowed a refund..... That is integrity!

    I queried a seller about a ring they were selling.... They are professional sellers but know Nothing about carat & mm sizes? How can this be? How difficult can it be to look the information up, buy a ruler w/ cm/mm on it and give the correct information?

    I occasionally attempt to sell some of my more desired items on eBay.... I never ask for more than the original purchase price, in fact I Always post for much less. I do ship Flat Rate Priority w/ Tracking, and I charge the USPS fee.

    I just want to do business w/ small time business & regular people like myself, not Commercial Sellers who make eBay into a High End Online Mall. I want to deal with Honest sellers. I want Integrity, the same I offer when I sell something.... Is this too much to ask?

    After all: it is all just "Stuff"....and in the end, we are not going to be taking any of this Stuff with us....

    So Be Square and Be Fair!

High Gasoline Prices=G.O.P. Election Tactic

  

Is it just me..... Or has anyone else noticed that the GOP/Republican Supported Oil Companies have raised the price of Gasoline over 60¢ in less than 3 days?

Let me ask you to think about this for a minute. Do you believe (as do I) that this outrageous raise in gasoline prices has anything to do with the election?

As I look back, it seems to me that every time the Oil industry, feels the least

bit threatened they raise their prices.

The odd thing is, not all of the gasoline/oil West of the Rockies comes from the Middle East. Shell, UnoCal, BP, Exxon/Mobil, & Tesoro/Valerio ALL are North American wells...... Some as close as *GASP* California, Tx & AK *GASP*.

So tell me.... what in the Hell is this REALLY About? Whom are the Oil Companies trying to discredit?

So lets all get Intelligent and look beyond the tips of our noses or the pennies in our wallets!
