3abn Confirms Real Estate Transaction, & Hints of Piano Sale Besides Options

[YogusBearus]

One thing I've learned (and maybe this is more info than ya'll want to know) is that if you are cutting up fresh hot peppers bare handed and you are a guy make very very sure you wash your hands with soap and water before, repeat before heading to the mens room. If you don't you will learn what real pain is. Real bad pain. This has been a public service announcement, now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Would this be a good time to complain about Off Topic subjects fouling up the 3abn section?

Reminds me of when I was in 9th grade, I think, and someone got one of those pieces of hot peppers in those shakers at pizza restaurants ... in my eye.

Too bad the healing, medicinal properties that the stuff has for the stomach doesn't apply to eyeballs.

Oh man that had to hurt! That sounds worse than a guy I was working with that got a bee sting in the eyelid.

However, in the long run, Bob, you may discover that your capsaicin-bathed eye turns out to be the healthiest of the two. May take years to find out, but will have made the pain worth it, right?

Seriously... one of the uses for cayenne extract is as an eyewash. Frankly, I've never had the nerve to try it. I put it in the "do not try this at home" category. I would have to have some strong persuasion from a physician experienced in its use before I went that route. Obviously (I hope) the solution recommended would be very weak... not at all like getting a solid piece in your eye!

I am very sorry if I unnerved anyone by asking who the Stephen Lewis was in the report on the horse deals over on Save 3ABN. I did an internet search on the name and came up with all sorts of interesting sources, none of which seemed to fit the story. I wondered if it was the evangelist Stephen Lewis, whose audio and video tapes were widely circulated in Australia and New Zealand several years ago. By comments on BSDA, it seems likely that it is. We ourselves valued many of his lectures (though we always held reservations about the length of and high pressure involved in the altar calls at the end).

But many happenings associated with a highly publicized visit by this minister to Sydney, Australia in 2003 (he was invited by an independent ministry run by very well meaning new believers), have resulted in what seems to be a complete drying up of support for this man, from conservatives and liberals alike. There has been a lot of pain. Nobody much circulates his tapes anymore, or speaks of him. The ministry who invited this speaker (“Thus Saith The Lord”) gave a full report upon the debacle in their newsletter of October 2005.

I don’t, by the way, place too much stock on the words “conservative” and “liberal.” It seems to me either you love Jesus, or you do not; either you are a Christian, or you are not; either you are a Seventh-day Adventist, or you are not; either you are covered by the blood of the Saviour, or you are not. Some are conservative on one issue, liberal on another. We’re are all on our own journey. May the God who created and loves us all be allowed to pull us each in turn, back onto the track that will lead us home to heaven. What a wonderful word – “home!”

In the meantime, interesting talk about cayenne pepper! Watchbird, was interested to learn you knew Jethro Kloss. I had not realized Back to Eden was written by his daughter. Thank you for all the info.

One use I've found for very hot peppers or sauce is in helping with headaches. (One of my trials in life) Eating one or two whole fresh jalapeños or slowing sipping a tablespoon or two of Tabasco will sometimes relieve a morning headache. My wife claims it just diverts the pain from my brain to my mouth. I think it's the release of endorphin's.

(I wonder when the admin will move part of this thread to the health section?)

It's probably the circulation thing. Cayenne is one of the few things that will pass the brain/blood barrier and thus is sometimes used by nutrition doctors along with medication that they want to get to the brain. Since headaches are often circulation related, it makes sense that hot peppers would help. You might try hot salsa... as you would then have the benefits of the tomatoes and onions as well as the hot peppers.

I've been wondering that myself, but Calvin was complaining because this forum was not entertaining enough... maybe the admins are figuring this will spice things up a little for him......

What this? The second act of the Fran and Bird comedy hour?

You have to admit it has been quite a "HEATED" discussion.

I wonder what kind of peppers Panama_Pete picks?

Sounds like you married a smart woman.

(here is Whitey jumping on the downstream going barge of posts with post #179. Just wanting to publicly say that I thoroughly enjoyed the brief hilarious hotpepper ride )



...any more to report on the real estate transaction?

[Richard Sherwin]

Now we are getting peppered with nonsense. Even pickle has had a dilly or two.

And the hot real estate market has really cooled down.
