		xlime	First bank of Cowboy Bob, I think. reminds me of a tiny town in CO where I've got family.
		duncan	Good morning Roger. True, I am surrounded by lovely things. The sad things I don't take pictures of, I give them help and encouragement, and a hug if they will let me. You were very geometrically inclined in your artistic youth.
		akasha	those bricks r so organized! i'd have lost my ming ;) incredible talent you have for detail...(you must be more patient than me!)
		akasha	did i say ming?? i mean mind!! (so impatient i cant even spell check lol)
		duncan	Yes it was driving her and everybody else insane. They are made in Western Australia and contain all sorts of natural medicines as well as bees wax (white).I wil try and find out more from the web. There was not a website with the instructions just an Australian telephone number.
		se_supone	Nice =)
		duncan	Finally got to the site. Stephen Barrett's article is certainly negative, but he has discounted an awful lot of ancient medicine as being quackery. And of course Celebrex isn't. The last person to see most dying people is an md. That doesn't make them quacks does it. I say wax not want not.Ourselves being old and cash poor, "regular" medical attention is no longer an affordable option. My pharmacy will also be amused at such stupidity. Seems this doctor has caught the GWB virus. still looking.
		duncan	Doctor Barrett also enlist the help of a student who study showed that some masseurs were prostitutes (ie charge for their services). Thank goodness doctors can't be accused of that. The prostitutes tools of trade were God given and designed. The doctors tools of trade are based on financial gain through selected knowledge. Would you let someone operate on you if their motivation was mainly financial, no thanks I'll take death with honour. At least with a prostitute you can wear a condom.
		duncan	Read mymds report. It says do not use ear candles they can cause serious injury. That's 2 doctors that both said serious injury but did not list any injuries. The last people in the world to give up film photography are the Americans mainly because Kodak had the technology but wouldn't release it. Lets hope the medical profession and the pharmceutical companies are not doing the same thing.
		duncan	All I know is that my wife has woken up this morning with her smile and comforting words, something she hasn't done for months. Ear candles may cause problems, but she had those problems before she tried ear candles and the new problems may be less dangerous.If ever they appear I'll certainly let you know.
		mdanforth	another glimpse of the multi-faceted rdale! fun!
		jtravassos	Beautiful Image! Nice!
			Looks like a perspective exercise from the drawing book I am using now . . . cool, Cowboy Bob.
		Misshomespun	just goes to show that most things about us are nature not nuture and are inherited. Talent must have been a very strong trait in our history.
