Happy Freakin' Friday!
Well this has been a long week! TGIF!!!! I don't understand why it feel's like 40 degree's outside and I live in Sunny South Florida....I even had to break down and turn the heat on....which is doing strange things to my sinuses! I've had a horrible sore throat which is now being followed by a nagging nasty cough in which it is hand in hand which some crap that doesn't even have a color on the color scale! Ugh!!! My dear sweet Mother-In-Law made me some chicken soup and got the kids out of my hair so at least I feel a little better. My Kat's are acting strange. Maybe their just happy I bought them some really expensive flea medicine. Now thier all of a sudden all over me....maybe they know I'm sick and just feel sorry for me... Well at least it is Friday....I'm going to proceed to drink a few Rolling Rock's...i'll give you a total in the morning b/c I generally overindulge myself.....I'm going to have some good belly laughs with Timquela....play my music loud....and then probably kick myself in the ass tomorrow! Until then...enjoy your Friday!!! ~Kool Mama Kat
Cool Weblog!
I found a great weblog ran by an 80 something year old Grandmother. It's kinda like an Dear Abby kinda thing.It's supper cool. If you want to check it out I put a link over there under GrOOvy Weblogs...click on Help me Bubby!
Staring at the scenery, I smile, breathing. Freedom found along the desired highway. Going-to-the-sun-road, Sighing I am satisfied. **************************************** *Much like how I'm going to feel when I take my road trip home to where my heart is! Oh I can't stand the wait!
Thursday, 26 February 2004
I awoke this morning to a message on my message board on the refridgerator in the kitchen....Apparentely my {9yr.} daughter wrote this..I don't think it's original however pretty fucking deep for a kid....I shall share. Watch your thoughts because they become your words. Watch your words because they become your actions. Watch your actions because they become your habits. Watch your habits because they become your charecter. Watch your charecter because it becomes your destiny. Now that's what I'm talking about.....If we could only all live by this.
The sweet song of sadness, Heavy from the darkest silence. But the fear will rise from me in the morrow.

Awesome HEMP News!!!!!
Federal Court Rejects DEA Ban on Hemp Food
Court Tells DEA it Cannot Regulate Naturally-Occurring THC in Hemp Food
Landmark Decision Opens Way for Expansion of Hemp Food Industry
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - U.S. COURT of APPEALS for the NINTH CIRCUIT - The Hemp Industries Association (HIA), representing over 200 hemp companies in North America won their 2 1/2-year old lawsuit today against the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in a decision that permanently blocks DEA regulations that attempted to ban nutritious hemp foods such as waffles, bread, cereal, vegetarian burgers, protein powder, salad dressing and nutrition bars.
"The decision in HIA v. DEA is a huge boost to the hemp food market, and we expect to see many more hemp food products on store shelves," says David Bronner, maker of the AlpSnack? organic hemp nutrition bar and Chair of the HIA Food and Oil Committee. "The three judge panel agreed with our main argument that the DEA's 'Final Rule' ignores Congress's specific exemption in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA)
under the definition of marihuana that excludes hemp seed and oil from control along with hemp fiber. Based on today's decision, the court reasonably views trace insignificant amounts of THC in hemp seed in the same way as it sees trace amounts of opiates in poppy seeds," says Bronner.
Dormont was read back the section of the CSA dealing with the hemp seed exemption on three occasions by Judge Alex Kozinski. By the third reading, a frustrated Kozinski stated "S? I tried to say it once before. What this tells me is Congress knew full well that stalks and seeds and fiber could be carriers of some level of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). They were aware of that. Nevertheless, it said unless you do the extracting part they are not marihuana under the definition. That is what it says to me." Near the end of the DEA's arguments, Judge Kozinski asked Dormont, "Can you tell me how you are going to save the [poppy seed] bagel?" The question drew laughter from the packed courtroom, but is a serious issue considering that the irrational logic behind the DEA's attempted hemp food ban could easily be applied to poppy seed bagels.
During final arguments, the DEA acknowledged that hemp foods have no abuse potential, stating "The concern of the Drug Enforcement Administration isn't particularized to the particular products that these Petitioners make. The DEA has never said, has never focused on the particular products and said anyone can get high from them, or that they pose a harm to people." According to Nutritionist and best selling author Dr. Andrew Weil, "There is absolutely no health concern about trace amounts of THC in Hemp foods. I think the federal court decision is great."
In regard to widespread outrage over the DEA's "Final Rule" - 115,000 public comments, a letter from the Canadian government, and a letter from Congress co-signed by 22 Representatives submitted to DEA opposed to the hemp food ban - Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Mary Schroeder asked the DEA: "Did you take into account the objections of people who might say that this doesn't make a lot of sense?" Dormont admitted the rule "wasn't popular." Protests were organized by Vote
Hemp against DEA's attempts to ban hemp foods. In December 2001 and again in April 2003, at more than 50 DEA offices nationwide, activists gave away hemp foods, poppy seed bagels and orange juice that contain trace THC, opiates and alcohol respectively to highlight the absurdity of DEA's rules. These "Hemp Food Taste Tests" generated public outrage and forced former DEA Administrator Asa Hutchinson to debate Vote Hemp Director Eric Steenstra on National Public Radio.
U.S. hemp food companies voluntarily observe reasonable THC limits similar to those adopted by European nations as well as Canada and Australia. These limits protect consumers with a wide margin of safety from workplace drug-testing interference (see hemp industry standards regarding trace THC at www.testpledge.com). The DEA has hypocritically not targeted food manufacturers for using poppy seeds (in bagels and muffins, for example) even though they contain far higher levels of trace opiates. The recently revived global hemp market is a thriving commercial success. Unfortunately, because the
DEA's Drug War paranoia has confused non-psychoactive industrial hemp varieties of cannabis with psychoactive "marihuana" varieties, the U.S. is the only major industrialized nation to prohibit the growing of industrial hemp.
"We are very excited that our best-selling Organic Hemp Plus Granola Cereal? and our LifeStream Natural Hemp Plus Waffels? will continue to be available in thousands of stores nationwide," says Arran Stephens, President and Founder of Nature's Path Foods.
"DEA was foolish to try to ban hemp seed because it is a rich source of protein, dietary fiber, minerals, iron, vitamin E, and a near perfect composition of essential fatty acids - Omega 3 and 6," says Lynn Gordon, President of French Meadow Bakery which sells Healthy Hemp Bread?. "We expect sales to increase enormously as result of the court ruling."
"Nutiva's organic hemp bars and protein powder can finally be sold without concern over its legality," says John Roulac, President of Nutiva?."Vegetarians everywhere should celebrate this court ruling," says Ken Holmes, co-founder of Living Harvest. "People have a right to eat our nutritious Hemp Power Bar, Hemp Protein, Hemp Oil and Hemp Seed Nut."
"Today's decision will boost demand for our bulk and private label oil and seed products, as well as retail brand hemp food and body care products ," says Shaun Crew, President of Hemp Oil Canada.
"Today's court ruling will jumpstart sales of our new meatless Omega Burgers? made from organic hemp seed," Ruth Shamai, President of Ruth's Foods.
"This decision now allows consumers to vote with there dollars. Healthy hemp food products like Hemp Seed Oil and Hemp Seed Nut(shelled hemp seed) are available now at major retailers like Whole Foods Market," says Michael Fata, Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils.

"I who bleed, am the very emptiness forever you," Sorrow's eye's drifted down.... "I alway's remembered your dark love."
Why is indulgence inconceivable? I ask this question to remember weakness was made for self-entrapment, not love. ***************************************

Mental Freeze
Happy Freakin' Tuesday! My brain is officially in some form of a frozen haze. I can't think, I can't put feelings into words, I can't seem to motivate myself to get my lazy ass off the computer and take a shower and do something productive........but somehow I will...I always do even though..... Looking over this "blog" and some off my scribble it has come to me that I have some serious trust issue's. I can only think of one place this might stem from and that would be my Bio-Father and my early relation's with the opposite sex. Combine that with continuos failed attempts to have a meaningful relationship with the same sex and I'm left to feel that folks can't be trusted. Could it be that people unintentionally have hidden motive's. If so, what do you do...what position are you left to be in. Are you sympathetic to that....do you just continue to make excuse's for folks. I don't know. I do look at life as some sort of a test for a bigger purpose. We are not here for no reason. Everything has reason and meaning. I guess all I can do for now is continue to rack up them good Karma points and wait for my moment to be blessed ten fold.

Finally!!!
Well finally it's Friday! Yeah - Finally I get to post to this ridiculous thing that no one probably reads anyway but oh well - it's medicinal for me. It's hard to get to this thing when your sharing a computer with other family members and your working, doing the kid thing, and sleeping every free chance you get. I miss my home state...I miss my family. I need to get away from sunny florida {imagine that} to where my heart truly lies in Tennessee. I need to see the mountains and converse with friendly southern people. I need to be reminded that people are nice and good at heart....It's so easy to find that in the Appalachians. Good food, good people, good music, good scenery, good feeling all around. Soon enough. My family is going through a bit of a crisis right now and I'm not there....I won't get into details but let's just say a close family member of mine may have a life long disease with no cure....Damn Disease! This week has been full of many different emotions. Between worrying about disease, finding my self caught up in secrets between "trusted friends" trying to do a friend a favor that couldn't be fullfilled and in turn that friend coming down on me for no reason at all, death, money troubles, again questioning my judgement, my husband being let down so to speak by a friend. Maybe there is something in the water this week. Whatever it is I'm glad this God awful week is over...it is Friday {the 13th}. Tomorrow is Valentine's day....more Commercialism at play if I don't say so myself. But anyway I will acknowledge it b/c I am married and I do have kids and it's just the thing to do.....oh more money to spend!!! It never ends....this downward spiral of the almighty Benjamin's baby-yeah! But for today I shall stay commited to those I hold dear to my heart. I won't get caught up in drama and life's games. I will focus on the good and be thankful for my husband and my kids, family and trusted friends, good health, and the love I am given every day!
