An Additive That Can Make You VERY Sick...

What's this additive?

Well, firstly let me state this personal fact;

Every time I drank certain lactose free milks,

My stomach started rumbling and hurting.

It got so bad, I just knew there was some additive in these liquids that

Were making me so sick!

It took me a long time to realize that Carrageen made my stomach hurt.

Then other things started, my stomach hurt;

Alas, I have now found the culprit;

Any stabilizer made from these products that have been

Grown as fermented became in the same family of acidophilus.

Guar gum

Xanthan gum

Gellan Gum

Gum Arabic

Carrageen

These are a stabilizer used in many foods

One reason that food additives like emulsifiers may be potentially dangerous is because they can alter healthy levels of intestinal bacteria, which may contribute to chronic, low-level inflammation that promotes changes in cells in the digestive tract, It is like drinking a super cocktail filled with bacteria.

This can cause SIBO... 

(Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)

Guar Gum has shown to cause digestive and abdominal stress.

Xanthan Gum is a product of bacterial fermentation.

Gellan Gum is an exopolysaccharide produced once again by

 Bacterial fermentation.

Gum Arabic acts as a powerful prebiotic, which stimulates the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.

Carrageen can cause inflammation in your digest track!

I am now drinking Rice milk which contained none of these ingredients.

Also The Brand Lactaid 2% has none of this stuff in it!
But, the Calcium enriched does!

Do you have any of these issues?

I am finally free of tummy issues related to the prebiotic addative!

I do hope you are all doing well!
I am still being very cautious because of the Covid,
But, I am still living and enjoying my life!

It seems we are always dealing with something, but it will keep us humble!

And it always keeps me drawing near to the Lord!

Happy Summer!
Drop me a comment and tell me how you are doing!
Hugs, Roxy

Living From glory To Glory...

To The Republic For Which We Stand...

To The Republic For Which We Stand

We have fought many battles to keep our Country Free...

But, I never really knew how many anti Americans lived in America
I thought everybody loved our flag, and what it stands for!

But as we can see so many think we should erase all of its history!

I never thought I would see the day of the land of the free and brave;
Be terrorized from within!
They want to rule and reign and to hold us captive!

We are citizens of another better country; HEAVEN
We are told to protect life and to build and not tear down!

We are told we are not tolerant!
Now, that is a lie, because this is a melting pot of the whole world;
But, one wants to dominate all...

I feel so sorry for our children and grandchildren!
Teach your little ones well, they are not born intolerant!
Someone else is teaching hate!

I have traveled and lived in this great country, and all I have
Seen is love and concern for one's neighbor very kind people!
Willing to help!
But as we all know one bad apple can spoil the whole basket!

If you poke a hornets nest while its just doing what it does,
I can promise you will get hurt and even innocent bystanders.
We must be able to defend our America and love our country!
No one has to stay here in the USA...
Go, Leave us alone!!

Who are these people that incite others to kill and destroy?
There is an agenda to wipe out everything...
They only want you to see, hear and do what they think is acceptable!
"Think One World Order"

That sound like control. Marxism, not freedom!

If there is another outbreak of Covid, we can blame those,
That have protested and have not followed the social distancing,
And wearing masks, and washing their hands!

Oh wait, they don't follow our rules in our country.
They have immunity to do whatever they want!

They say we are not accountable to no one!

Foolish and heart breaking...

Do not bow to this tyrant of a wayward child...

We are not suppose to kill, steal, and destroy...
We are told to obey and to build each other up!

Every election year we see this kind of behavior!
Ask yourself, who is behind this?
Who pays these to kill and destroy?
Is this normal behavior?
Who benefits from this disruption?
Who is really behind this evil smoke screen?

Sometimes just ignoring a problem, is not the responsible thing;
Pray and fly the American Flag...
Somebody better stand or all our rights and History will be gone!
Once something gets a foothold, things never get better.
~Only Worse~


Stand up and do what is right, sit down and pray!
Set your hands to build!
Live and Love this Wonderful Country
~ God Bless America~

Why We Must Teach The Younger Women...

Who Wants To Be Trained?...

We definitely have seen a decline in younger Women being willing to learn;

The art of Homemaking!

I believe we are seeing the fruits of training not being given or received.

The world marches to its own set of rules, And the need for income or just more!

I feel that the older women do not have the willing participants;

Because many empty nesters no longer have those that are at home or are willing to learn!

Maybe, we just keep sharing resources when we can and they just learn on their own.

And in my opinion that is fine also!

But, we must continue to teach through our own life's actions.....

It's in our willingness to encourage with words and to cheer them on!!

May we hope that we will have a movement that draws them HOME

I think most women still desire to take homemaking as a privilege;

And embrace all the joys of HOME

 I have learned and I'm still learning;

To be a wise homemaker in times of plenty and want.

In times of world upheaval and drought,

Trials and tribulations

Rain or shine, storm clouds and storms!

Sunshine and Warmth...

Some time we have tough seasons and other times smooth sailing.

Learning to live on a dime, yet being extravagant in some things in a time of plenty!

Keeping our homes, furnished and filled with resources is just wise!

Trusting the Lord in lean times!

Sharing when we have more!

If you're a young woman, keep your heart open to learn a skill or two!

If you're an older woman be willing and watchful to share a bit of wisdom!

But also a reminder to myself and to you dear readers;

We can all learn a thing or two from each other

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands,

 To love their children, 

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home,

 Good, obedient to their own husbands,

 That the word of God be not blasphemed. 

Titus 2:4, 5


We are doing well, yet have been feeling a big hit in the aerospace market!
Remember, many of us are still reeling financially from this world pandemic

As my husband said slow down and put on the brakes!

"This all happened after we bought all new windows and flooring"
Great...
Now, I just stay home and enjoy my home more than ever for the duration.

Always, Living from Glory To Glory

Don't Rain On Someone's Parade...

 Sometimes we can finally find something that works for us!

What I mean is that life is not really very easy;

~If you had not noticed~

Some days and seasons are much easier,

But when you are struggling with something;

That has caused distress, it can be a challenge!

It might be something just small and annoying.

But, it can cause you distress!

Many times I have had to find an answer to theses dilemmas!

And when I finally found an antidote that worked for me;

There would always be something said to make me feel

Wrong, sad, unworthy...

For instance;

An Example

When I became lactose intolerant, I could not find a

Coffee creamer I really liked, because I like it to be creamy!

I tried every natural brand and did not enjoy the taste or texture.

So when I finally tried Coffeemate, its lactose free;

I was so happy!

But we all know its not a super healthy product;

But, it sure tastes good LOL

So as you can imagine others had to make me aware of the

Down side of this product!I felt like everyone turned into the coffee police.

Sometimes the answer to a problem is going to carry a downside!

But sometimes you just got to go with what works!

So, Hopefully I have learned to be thoughtful;

And not always give my opinion on what someone else is doing!

So, I guess my one liner is this today

Don't rain on someones parade;

Let them be happy and enjoy the answer to their struggle!

Be the one to encourage today!!
Pray for others to succeed and to excel!
Be not jealous of others!
Use the means you have to help and honor others!

Try not to find fault, but to help them to strive to do better!

Has someone ever rained on your parade?
How did you overcome?

Hugs, Roxy

Covid19, Riots, Humidity, My Thoughts...

Covid19,  Riots, Humidity,

~My Thoughts~

Many have completely forgotten about Covid19,

But many will remember it's devastation forever!

Loss of life (But it has been just old people)

So what the heck; so that makes a difference?

The older generation was the backbone of our society for

As long as many of you have been alive or were a toddler!

This nasty virus could kill anyone!

Covid 19, taught me to stay home and enjoy it

Covid 19 allowed me to get some new clothes after gaining weight!

Covid19 showed me that everyone spits when opening one's mouth!

ICK...

Covid19 reminded me to wash my hands all the time!

Covid19 has caused so much destruction in our financial world!

Everything will be different or a struggle!

After being home for two months;

 I now am using my good camera again; The photo on this blog,

Was a photo shoot in a friend's garden.

The aerospace industry is really hurting;

Who wants to sit in a metal space with a hundred;

Other people breathing the same air?

To be honest, If the price was cheap I just might!

Look flying is wonderful; they just need to take greater precautions.

These riots remind me of my childhood in Detroit;

Civil Rights, Vietnam protest...

Abortion advocates...

Some things never change!

"Want to be heard?"

Don't burn down your own town or city!

Just finished watching the series Jericho;

Makes you think!

God Bless America

Humidity is brewing early this early summer;

So hot its hard to sleep at night!

We are talking about getting central air in our home.

Besides, when you have COPD, it's hard to breathe in humidity!

At least if you are at home, you get a break!

Our greenhouse is doing amazing!

A garden is a wise way to work and see a bountiful harvest!

All hard work has profit!!

Well. I have taken a little break from blogging to just enjoy

My Home, My Life, My Family

Just had my entire Blog put into a book,

Can't wait to receive it in the mail!

I will share it with you!

So get on with your life;

Live today and enjoy it all!

Whatever you set your hands to may it do well!

How To Make Straight Paths, And A Long Stem Rose...

"New Growth On A Long Stem Rose"

Please share with me if you have ever had a cut

Long stem rose grow new leaves and a bud?

Make Straight Paths For Your Feet

Have you ever watched a farmer plowing a field?

In order to get his rows straight or furrows;

He must look straight ahead and fix his eyes on an object.

Like a fence post or a tree on the far side of his field.

Because if he looks side to side or behind him, his rows,

Will be crooked or a zig-zag pattern.

So looking behind to see if he's straight will not work.

So if we want to make straight paths for our feet,

 We must look ahead!

Do like Paul did and forget those things which are behind!
Press forward...

Go forward and look straight ahead while planting.
"Remember everyday we are planting seeds"

These seeds are filled with life
Just water, weed and fertilize,
To receive a harvest!

Happy Days
Hugs, Roxy

Single Serve Blue and White Teapot

Working Hard To Keep Busy Around The Homestead!

Planting bedding plants in my flower beds.
Planting our greenhouse!

Encouraging ourselves is sometimes a daily must!

So grateful I can get outside and get things done in my yard!


~But here is a little video clip I did share a few thoughts~

I am so enjoying beautifying my yard and home;
Last week it was very chilly out, so with some help
 We changed around the Living Room!

Taking time to do all the things we need to do to stay
Healthy and motivated!

What color themes do you have in your living room?

Also, keep an eye out for a single serve teapot for yourself;
Or it would make a lovely gift for someone!

Thanks for stopping in for a visit!

Where Are All The Whistleblowers...

Where Are All The Whisle Blowers?

Definition of a Whistleblower;

A person who exposes secretive information or activity within

Ones own private or public sphere!

These things are either illegal or immoral, fraudulent or corrupt;

Other words not correct, wrong doing!

How about just plain old UNETHICAL

Have you ever exposed something of this nature?

It can be a very scary situation;

As we mostly do not want to get involved or to be a trouble maker.

But yet these things can become threats to all our well-being.

The Word tells us to expose the darkness;

Yet, so many times the retaliation from those in power can be scary!

Are these people really getting away with these things?

It may seem to be what is happening; 

But all things will be exposed one day.

Maybe because the truth is now subject to your own interpretation?

Have you heard in these days,

I don't know what to believe?

Who is telling the truth anymore?!?

 I received this comment last week and I thought of just deleting it,

But then I decided to just share it...

Because it is disturbing and yet it is in the heart of someone.

As soon as boomers die off in mass, we millennials will vote for socialism. Within the next 5 to 10 years, as more and more of you boomers die off, 

We are going to turn America into a socialist country, 

And we are going to STOP giving 80 billion a year to Israel. 

Everything you boomers worked to create, we will destroy.

Look you can say what you want, but you are just a steward

Of the time allotted to you!

I advise to use it well...

So many are hurting in our world today,

Can we just do nothing?

We can pray, we can encourage,

We may even be able to shed some light on a wrong!

Sometimes we just need to do something!
