In a comparison of that which is real and that which is not the factors which interface those tangible elements come into play.

For example, if you are in reality there is a specific cause and effect relationship with action and it's result; and in the absence of reality everything is just a subjective smattering of parts which eminate from the imagination of those making various false assertions. There is morality versus immorality and the duties associated with fairness and providing what is required to do the job.

There is the compounding of problems when something required for a chain of events to transpire is withheld. There are the consequences of faulty setup and incorrect configurations.

Far better to grasp what is happening and what is required and look for some congruence between the two.

When it is lacking at least you'll know where you stand.
 

A person, especially a man, who is regarded as being weak and ineffectual.
 

In my life there have been a few weenies. These individuals are characterized by a lack of empathy for their peers and even less for their charges.

These people are out for themselves and don't rock the boat regardless of how eggregious a situation is or how adversely it affects their team.

Weenies are the personification of all things ignored, overlooked, and forgotten because it has no effect on their personal sphere, their personal space, their own existence.

In the course of those events attributed to work and life the weenie is a false omen of good will and the tidings and portends are that of abandonment.
 

I often hear others tout their personal spins on crock pot pork dishes and mention how long they cook and what those various ingredients include.

Some of my family members pride themselves in such porcine delicacies and some even go on and on about them.
 

First of all, I am not knocking anyone for their gastronomic proclivities and I suppose that the modern processing of meats in general have made the populace at large lax in their observance of Levitical food laws — and alas, there are even a number of those in my midst who do not recognize Leviticus as a valid food reference anyway.

Now, the pig is an unclean animal because it has cloven hooves but does not ruminate. Yes, I eat ham. I eat bacon. I have been known to consume pork with the greatest of gusto.

Those pork inclusions to my diet are typically cooked while well drained of rendered fat as a matter of attention to detail.

Pork products cooked in a crock pot typically are cooked in the rendered pork fat which is a repository for toxins and impurities imparted to it by a beast with no sweat glands which eliminates where it consumes and is my humble opinion and is a health hazard contributor of the highest order.

No amount of spooning the fat from the meat or even removal with a suction baster is sufficient in my eyes.

Just as I would never eat a possum nor other scavenger there are other Levitical food laws that I fail to observe. I suppose it just depends on the animal. For example, I will eat a crustacean like shrimp or lobster and scaleless cat fish but shun the frog, birds of prey, snails, lizards, bats, and most all of the other unclean animals.

I view the appetizing nature (or lack thereof) are my personal limiting factor in the food animal department.

Also, I could never eat a canine, feline, or rodent likely due to their dual roles as companion animals. I simply find the eating of some animals totally abhorrent.

So swine, though unlean will get consumed by yours truly depending on how it is cooked. Should it be slow cooked in a croc pot and allowed to simmer for hours in it's own toxic swine fat ... no thank you.

Violation of the Levitical food laws is a sin against health. They are not sins against the soul.

I've had several issues over the years with hosts becoming offended at my reaction to what was being served for dinner. I have attempted to temper my reactions to various foodstuffs over the years in the name of tact and poise. Making someone cry over a dish they are serving is not my idea of good interpersonal relations and I will consume what is offered to me during social interactions the name of polite company.

There is no excuse for allowing the perception of rudeness to raise it's ugly head.
 

In our age of inferior nutrition as the result of false academic studies by Harvard and other universities we are left with the requirement to supplement our diets with suitable high quality dense nutrition or suffer the consequences of these studies 'bought and paid for' by the modern food industry in that effort to enrich their coffers at the expense of the health of the populace.

Toward that end, I engage in a nutritional supplement program which has been in effect since the late 1970s because I simply do not trust any aspect of data set forth by the so-called higher educational systems whose primary focus is the almighty dollar rather than the truth.

This has been a telling feature of higher education over the years. The stupid yale students screaming for safe spaces, the disproven accuracy of scientific investigations falling to the realm of 'fake science' and of course, the ivy league institutions affixing their name as though it is some badge of credibility when they are the some of the absolute worst bottom feeding scoundrels of them all.

Once upon a time only some institutions were 'diploma mills'. Nowadays the vast bulk of them are and they go hand in hand with the public school system which is forced to "pass" the unsuitable and inept with the same credentials they provide to scholars after a set period of time. A college degree simply means you've paid your money and here's your paper. Too many stupid people walk around sporting masters degrees anymore.

No wonder the Asians are beating us on the so-called 'educational' front and the pitiful Americans can't compete effectively anymore ,,, but I digress yet again !
 

My issues with dietary supplements all surround the dreaded 000 capsule ... which is not only the largest, but one of the more common sizes for the intake of powders and particulates from herbals and such.

This horse choker frequently finds itself lodged in the upper esophagus of individuals who dare to go there because they are derived from gelatin and lack adequate surface moisture prior to swallowing.

As the capsule descends the esophagus it is hydrophillic and therefore absorbs that moisture indigenous to the path it is taking and ends up adhering to the side of the conducting tube early in it's travels.

The results is a feeling of something being caught in the throat.

Having experienced the ecstatic pleasure of this sensation a number of times over the years I now make sure that I swish all gelatin capsule supplement containers around in my mouth with some liquid — typically coffee in the early am. If the surface of a gelatin capsule is sufficiently moist it will not adhere to the mucosal lining of the esophagus nor lodge there to provide discomfort. It will slide right on down to the stomach posthaste.

So if you're like me and distrust the earlier mainstream nutritional data provided by the money grubbing fake data producing ivy league educational institutions who would just as soon sell you up the river as look at you ...

Just remember to give those dry capsules a good swish with whatever you're drinking and voila — no more stuck capsules in your throat to drive you crazy for that periods it remains above that point it should have passed immediately.

I'm sorry your teacher couldn't teach you better than this. Sometimes it's far better to acquire your own data and figure things out for yourself.
 

One of the continuing human tragedies of our existence is the propensity for child abduction whereby an individual captures and sequesters the child of another for various nefarious purposes and ends.

These tragedies play out on various local, state, national, and international stages all too often with profoundly cataclysmic consequences for those victims and their families.

Sometimes, justice prevails and lives are saved. Other times justice prevails but posthumously for the victim. Still other times the case goes cold and there is no justice for anyone.

Today is National Missing Children's Day. It has been observed since 1983 when it was proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan. Later in 2001 International Missing Children's Day arrived on the lame and oh so typically late global stage.

Back in the day there were faces on milk cartons captioned "Have you seen this child?" The evolution of the mechanics of of child abduction notifications is now pretty much the purview of social media. Then there are those of us who never go there ...
Those headlines which permeate the news all over are sometimes overshadowed by other current events. Regardless that taint of perversion and criminality remain the problem of the victims and their families. Sometimes the long arms of the law fall far too short.

I try to protect children from the monsters which exist in our midst. The abductors of children are individuals who need to be required to suffer the vigilance of we who would smash them into that oblivion they so richly deserve.
