Remembering Glen

.
It is with great sorrow that I report Glenn Thurlow lost his fight with Cancer 11/9/2010

Glen was well-loved, and well-respected by all who knew him. He will be sorely missed.

I am sorry I do not have any details to report on any services. If anyone has that info, please let folks know by posting a comment below.

Birthdays and Time Travel

Last Saturday we attended Dale Chasse's 50th Birthday party at the Captain's Galley in Old Orchard. Everyone had a lot of fun - Dale is just a great guy, with lots of friends.

It came to pass during the evening that mention was made of an apparent "time traveler" spotted in a 1928 Charlie Chaplin film, "The Circus". In it, someone in the public crowd was caught walking past the camera, apparently talking into a cellphone.

The film is real, and has been authenticated. For those of you who expressed interest in seeing it, you can view it here...

A note here - the cellphone would be 70 years away. The transistor radio 20 years into the future. Walkie-talkies - 10 years into the future. And hand-held tape recorders were 40 years away.

Watch closely, not only the slo-mo and close-ups, but also the feet of the individual. And note that the person does seem to be trying to hide themselves by dressing in rather strange and heavy clothing - considering everyone else in the film is dressed in summer attire.

I'm not saying I'm convinced - but it certainly does raise questions!

And no, it is not Sarah Palin reading crib notes on her hand :o)

Thought I Would Share This

A lot of folks - especially older folks (and many car buffs are) - find themselves afflicted with joint pain. Personally, I have been fortunate enough to escape that, but my dear wife has suffered for over 15 years. We tried everything the doctor could toss at us - no help.

Then as I studied the issue, I discovered that yucca is a natural and outstanding, safe supplement that is thought to promote symptom relief similar to steroid medications with none of the side effects and has many uses including for the joints, skin, and digestion. Yucca is given internally for joint health and digestion but must be diluted before being administered because it is quite bitter.

I thought we would try it. I surfed around and found the strongest I could find - an extract called YUCCA INTENSIVE. But it was $15 for a 2 oz bottle (with eyedropper - one drop per 10-12 pounds of body weight). Then I found out that the exact same product, made by the same folks is also packaged for pets, and sold at 1800petmeds. I checked it out and, though it was still $15, Petmeds offers a $5 off instant online coupon - just type WEBC5 in the coupon box.

Anyway, to make a long story still long, we tried it. Robin puts 12 drops a day in her coffee. And within 5 days the pain was gone for the first time in years. As a side note, she doesn't get indigestion anymore, either.

So, I though I would pass this along. I can't guarantee it will work for everyone, but it worked for Robin. If you do try it, I would be interested in hearing the results you have.
