"Natural" GMO meds?

WASHINGTON – You've heard of making cheese from goats' milk, but prescription drugs? In what would be a scientific first, an anti-clotting drug made from the milk of genetically engineered goats moved closer to government approval Wednesday after experts at the Food and Drug Administration reported that the medication works and its safety is acceptable.

Called ATryn, the drug is intended to help people with a rare hereditary disorder that makes them vulnerable to life-threatening blood clots.

Its approval would be a major step toward new kinds of medications made not from chemicals, but from living organisms genetically manipulated by scientists. Similar drugs could be available in the next few years for a range of human ailments, including hemophilia.

Ok, I'm always on the rather outside of popular thought here I know, but am I seriously one of only a few who think this is just a bit beyond normal?  I understand the medical ramifications here, and of course I'm not saying allow folks to suffer when a potential 'help' is out there.  But this GMO craze the government is on is so obviously NWO.

I'm not even going to debate anything, I'm just making an observation.

We are being given Hell in a handbasket and accepting it with not only willing, but grabbing hands.

JUST A QUICK THOUGHT...WHY????

Just reading a few post when I got a message from a dear friend I met here and she was saying that one post of hers got a nasty comment.. So, this is where my post will come from today...

WHY????? I can not figure out why these bloggers feel they have the right to comment in such a way and then not even have enough nerve to leave a name..

You know I will probably have one here after this but ,you know what? Go ahead MAKE my day..I just laugh and then get mad...not at the comment, but at the thought of, what gives them the right? .I have recieved them before and NEVER deleted it nor did I delete my post for that day. It does not make one feel all that good to get one but, I will not give anyone the satisfaction of not posting or anything of the such.

Besides, I know that we all have life situations and we all handle them in a different manner. I also do not think that a professional psycharists (ms)reads these post to make such comments.You may think I handle a problem different from the way you would handle it, that's cool, but do not try an impose your beliefs and ways on me....Now, if your way possibly could help my situation, then post those thoughts, but I do not think one should be nasty about it..

This a place for each of us to air out lifes difficulties, joys we may have ect. Not a place for someone to speak out in uglyness...I have read on some of the blogs things I did not like, but I always try and find something to say that  may help, or not say anything at all..Since I am not walking in their shoes how could I possibly know how one should handle that situation? I wonder those that leave these kind of comments, have they ever recieved one? How did it make them feel?

So, with all this rambling done,  I will end with this thought:

PLEASE let us start this New Year with peace and LOVE for each other. Let's  STOP this uglyness...This is not what Homestead Blogging is about..

If you feel that I have over stepped here, so be it, just do not visit again. This is my blog, I can vent as I please as you can comment as you wish. I am not going anywhere...

Thanks for stopping by and happy reading..

Wiped OUT!!

I have to admit i have not been this wiped out in a long time. This cold has knocked me on my butt..... I went to bed yesturday afternoon around 1 and only got up enough to go to the bathroom and get a drink of water. I have done this all day yesturday, last night and today.. I am still wiped... I cant talk, my throat is hurting, my chest hurts, my head hurts.. YOu name it i just feel alround bad.... I know that it was a blessing that this showed it head before surgery.. I sure did not need this to happen after surgery or while i was in the hospital. i am sure that it would have only hurt my recovery time. So if i can say anything I can thank God that he allowed the cold to come out before i went to the hospital.

Today has been a day. You know what no matter how much you think you are ready for your divorce papers to come into the mail and no matter how much you know that what has taken place is the only thing that could have taken place.. Still when you get those papers you hold them in your hands and feel like a failure.... I mean there is no other words that can fill how i have felt today.... A failure.... I mean I knew the papers were in, I knew that i was divorced, I knew that the judge had signed them and  to be honest i also know that me and the children are better off now.. But to hold that stack of papers that round out the last 20 years of your life in your hand and it is so cold and so uncaring... That stinks....

have a blessed day all

Music calms the savage beast...or mommy on a bad day....

What a day it has been my dears...I thank the Lord for seeing me through...I started early today...BIG PLANS!!!   Gonna make some fried fruit pies, never tried it before....I need practice for sure....I got one sad little pie fried...turned around and Thomas the tank engine was on top of mount pie crust.  Noone mentioned to my 4 year old that pie crust dough is not playdough...GOD BLESS her sweet soul!  Then I got a little distracted....My mother had called me with some sad news...and then again...My uncle that had lost his wife this past year was in the hospital with TWO heart attacks.  My other uncle, whom has fought cancer nearly all his life, has just received news that is was sticking in his bladder....I have already been praying for my father in law...he is going through quite alot of test..He has never been the type to go to the dr....just like my own father was.  I am so proud of him for going and taking care of himself.  All of these men in my life have been strong, proud, hard working men...I hate to see them hurting at all.  I love every one of them. 

After the wonderful time I had this afternoon I just felt so defeated...But never fear...I am doing all I can do...pray and trust God will take care of it all...crank up that music and sing as if noone could hear!!!  Oh, yes...and clean Mt pie crust up out of the floor....WITH A SMILE!!!!!  Thank you God for my entertaining, healthy kids...a wonderful husband that loves me even on my bad days...And for tommorrow....when we will try again!!!

Oh, yes...the sad fried pie...all alone and lonely..Bigdaddy will get to eat it....he is a brave man.

Creative homemaking

Geese are very pretty birds; not really graceful, but lots of fun to watch! They have some pretty amusing antics.

I made creamy chicken & rice for dinner last night. I'm not a "fancy" cook; with all of the other tasks that I need to complete in a day, there is not a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. So, I strive to prepare filling, frugal, and nutritious meals for my family. Here is how I make the chicken dish:

Fill rice cooker and start cooking cycle:

Dice two cooked chicken breasts:

Put chicken in large pan with 4 T oil and one diced onion and sauté:

Add 4-5 T flour, salt, and pepper to taste:

Pour in 3-4 cups milk and stir over medium high heat:

Continue stirring while sauce thickens:

Add enough cooked rice to be thick and creamy:

Sprinkle with dried or fresh parsley:

Top with 2 cups shredded cheese:

The finished meal:

This is a really great recipe because it is very adaptable to your family's preferences. You can substitute tuna for the chicken, add diced celery, omit the onions, add sliced mushrooms... you get the idea. I love a recipe that I can personalize!

Blessings from my home to yours!
