“you don’t see people getting mouth cancer from it all that often”

Guy I went to high school became a oncologist.I asked him about oral tobacco and mouth cancer.He told me he had never seen mouth cancer from leaf tobacco,all the ones he had seen were from snuff type products such as Skoal.
Leaf tobacco such as Red Man,Levi Garrett,has a lot of sugar added so it does cause cavities.

I give to my church and Shriner’s Hospital about 10% of wife and my income.
Doesn’t bother me,our net worth is beyond my wildest imagination.Is there a connection like God has blessed us?
Not sure but it certainly hasn’t hurt us any.

I’m 75,have macular degeneration both eyes,R worse than L.I’ve been on the AREDS vitamins 5-6 years,so far it’s stable and haven’t lost my central vision.My vision is terrible R eye even with glasses
I shoot R handed,I was able to adjust my rifle scope to be able to shoot.Killed an 8 pt. buck last 2 years.

I just hope it doesn’t progress to the point I can’t drive.

“ So how would this even be discovered?”

Beats the hell out of me.
Another one that puzzles me is a drug called protamine.It’s used to reverse the anticoagulant effect of heparin after heart surgery.It is found in the sperm of sturgeon (fish).

Google search says it was discovered by a Swiss biochemist in 1868-1874.

A friend killed one in Canada,invited me and wife over.Best wild meat I’ve ever eaten,was better than elk.
When I went to Alaska,the people that lived there raved about moose and how good it was.Several of them remarked about how good porcupine was.
Also said as far as black bears spring bears were better than fall bears.

I built a wooden house using Wood Duck house plan and put it in a tree in my yard.I was thinking a squirrel would use it.
A Screech Owl moved into it in just a few days.

I’ve raised 3 baby squirrels,their eyes weren’t open but they had hair.Fed them Esiblac until they could eat solid food.
Kept them in a birdcage until they got too big then ,an outdoor cage with a wooden house.
First two were Fox squirrels,got wild at about 6 months.Turned them out.

Last one was a gray squirrel.Stayed real tame,would come up on the back porch every day when we were home begging.Would give her peanuts or sunflower seeds.Went on for 8 years until I guess she died.

“4-5 gallon battery powered backpack sprayer to keep the grass from growing on my driveway”

I’m 75 y.o.,takes me 2.5 gal.to spray my driveway,then another 2.5 gal to spray other stuff Ike fence line of chicken yard,around the barn,etc.
I have never felt the need to have a battery powered backpack sprayer.
I have a Chapin,manual pump,does fine for about a $100.It’s not like it’s an exhausting job.

“Data clearly fudged and manipulated and likely falsified to get the results Pfizer wanted”

Pfizer did the same thing with a drug called Bextra.Were fined 2.5 billion by the FDA when discovered they had withheld adverse effects which included heart attacks,strokes and death.
FDA was somewhat honest then,the Covid “vaccine” the FDA was in it,that’s why they wanted to wait 75 years to release the data.
That’s big reason I didn’t take the vaccine,I didn’t trust the mf’ers.That and Congress was exempt from the mandates,that didn’t pass the smell test for me.

Pfizer is not the only drug company that does crooked shite.Merck came out with a similar drug to Bextra-Vioxx,same scenario.The FDA fined Merck 4 billion.

Around 2000 Eli Lily came out with a drug called Xigris.Was marketed as a game changer in the treatment of sepsis,was supposed to reduce death from sepsis significantly.Turns out it was of no benefit plus it increased risk of life threatening bleeding.Was take off the market 2011,Eli Lily had manipulated the data( falsified)showing it to be of great benefit in preventing death.They made billions off of it.

The Joint Commission,not a government organization but very powerful,was behind the Oxy Contin debacle.They started the “pain is the 5th vital sign” business.They monitored hospital and physician records to ensure that pain meds were given freely.It’s unprovable but I am convinced that members of JCAH were getting kickbacks from Purdue.West Virginia sued them unsuccessfully.
The FDA should have stepped in to rein them in.I feel if they were honest they would have.

I recycle aluminum cans.Takes me a year or so to get a couple of sacks.
I don’t make a special trip to sell them.
I wait until I’m going by the recycling place for some other reason.
I hate to see aluminum go in a landfill.
