Just For Special People

To love is to be very vulnerable.
Love anything and your heart can be twisted and possibly even break.
But if you want to make sure you keep your heart from any little scratch or crack… do not give it to anyone!
Not even a pet!

If this is the case, them I would suggest that you fill your heart with hobbies, small comforts and avoid any involvement. 

Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, dark+ airless, it will change it.

I’m sorry to tell you that: It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

Now… if you belong to that ‘special race of humans’, that loves animals and want to avoid those cracks on the way…

PLEASE BEWARE OF THESE PLANTS!!

Marijuana – Animals who attempt to snack on this plant can suffer serious consequences such as diarrhea, vomiting, increased heart rate, drooling, in-coordination, and even possibly seizures and coma.

Sago Palm – While the seeds and nuts of this plant are most poisonous, the entire plant is toxic.  Animals ingesting parts of this plant may suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, depression, seizures and liver failure.

Lilies – Plants of the lily variety are very poisonous to cats.  Even very small amounts of this plant could cause serious kidney damage.

Tulips – The toxic portion of this plant is the actual bulb, which can cause drooling, central nervous system depression, gastrointestinal irritation, cardiac issues and convulsions.

Oleander – All portions of this plant are poisonous and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, hypothermia, heart problems and possibly death.

Castor Bean – Poisoning as a result of this plant can cause abdominal pain, drooling, diarrhea, vomiting increased thirst, loss of appetite and weakness.  More serious cases could also lead to dehydration, tremors, seizures, twitching muscles, coma and possibly death.

Yew – Poisoning as a result of the yew plant can affect the nervous system and cause in-coordination, trembling and breathing difficulties.  It may also result in gastrointestinal irritation, cardiac failure and could possibly lead to death.

Now that you have understood better yet, ‘why’ I spoke of ‘special breed of humans’, animal lovers, with a heart as big as a cloudless sky! :-)

Hmm ..?
(If you do not recognize the name of some plants and have doubts whether or not you have it at home, look in Google “IMAGES” by placing the name of their species).

Quite Possible

Heaven can be found at the most unlikely corners.

For example, at a simple corner near here, I found this heaven.

Well, if you do not like pelicans you must be very unpleasant.

Whatever you want.

News from the Dentist

I didn’t quite believe it, so I had him confirm it:

“If you’re going to chew gum, choose a sugarless gum that has xylitol, a natural sugar alcohol that helps prevent cavities.”

Another thing he told me to pass along:

“For all treatments recommended, ask your dentist WHY. Listen and see if it makes sense. You should understand the basis of the treatment.”

Paying without insurance:

Check prices in your area using your ZIP CODE: http://healthcarebluebook.com/

If your budget small, the local health department helps you find FREE treatment or paying what you can.

Look for the Community Center nearest you.

FREE dental cleaning and treatment (or paying a small fee), you’ll find at:  http://www.ada.org/ (students with supervision of the teacher treat you).

P.S. If an office appears unkempt and dingy, think about going elsewhere. ;-) I had a serious talk with the dentist that treated Mr Slipper socks man, because he smelled like cigarettes!
