Get The Point ?
“Everyone should be respected as
an individual, but no one idolized.”
Albert Einstein
Whether you’ve stopped drinking or using drugs or in my case stopped eating sweets, there is always an event or holiday that challenges your willpower.
Special occasions such as birthdays are especially difficult because there is always a cake involved in the celebration. Everyone loves cake. Even if you don’t drink or use drugs, cake is harmless for most healthy people, unless you can’t have sweets.
I always get the same comments from friends and relatives. “It’s only one piece of cake, it won’t kill you.” I wish people would be more understanding and supportive. If I had a drinking or drug problem I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t offer just one drink or one puff of a cigarette.
So what do I do when I’m confronted with this situation? First off, I say thank you but no thank you. If they then offer to pack up a piece of cake for me to take home, I again tell them no thank you and tell them I can’t have sweets. This usually works with most people and then they get the point.

A Mind-boggling Mouse
“The difference between stupidity and genius
is that genius has its limits”
Albert Einstein
If you have been using a computer for over thirty years like I have, you have noticed how the computer mouse has come a long way from its original design.
When the mouse was first invented, wireless was unheard of. Today, both the PC and the Apple are wireless.
The mouse technology has changed a great deal since the 1980’s. My first IBM PC computer mouse had a roller ball device. It would constantly pick up dirt and dust and need cleaning. I haven’t used a mouse for my Apple in years.
The latest mouse on the market is so advanced that you can point it at your screen like a TV remote. What’s next, a mind controlling mouse? Whichever it is, I’m sure the next generation will be a mind-boggling mouse.

Mean Green Juicing Machine
“Our task must be to free ourselves…
by widening our circle of compassion to
embrace all living creatures and the
whole of nature and its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
I’ve been juicing the last few days. I love how great I feel when I juice my fruits and vegetable. You get mega doses of vitamins when you juice, so that’s why I have more energy.
Here’s my daily morning juice drink I make to kick-start my day:
My Mean Green Juicing Machine
Ingredients
1 Cucumber
2 Green Apples
2 Cups Chopped Kale
1 Stalk Celery
1 Lemon
Directions
Wash all produce well
Juice and pour over ice
You can add fresh ground pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning to taste, and a sprig of fennel greens. But I prefer to juice just the ingredients listed for my mean green juicing machine.

Fresh is Best
“Try not to become a person of success,
but try instead to become a person of value.”
Albert Einstein
but try instead to become a person of value.”
Albert Einstein
After eating that delicious pastrami sandwich the other day, I decided I needed a reboot. Not for my computer, but for my body. When I reboot I cleanse my body by juicing most of my meals each day. It’s not only refreshing but I always feel much healthier.
A few years ago I saw the movie, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead on Netflix. After watching this inspiring movie, I decided to try juicing. As in the movie, I lost weight and felt great. A few of my health problems even disappeared, quite to my doctors amazement.
Today I juiced a portion of a big watermelon that I picked up at the market. I broke up the melon into big chunks, added about a half a cup of water and juiced until it was mixed. Then I poured it over ice and drank the most refreshing sweet drink I’ve had all week.
If you also are trying to eat healthier, just remember when shopping for groceries that fresh is best.
