I Lived in Buffalo for each and every Super Bowl loss. Didn't watch a game for years after number 4. That gave me an appreciation for soccer, although I do go to Bucs games when the team is in town and look for a slam of the Bucs I am now a full Tampa Bay Rowdies fan though. Ralph's Mob rules!

...for beating those nasty classless poor sports, the Seahags. Almost the best day in football, ever (and I don't like the Pats either). The exception: Russell Wilson has class and is a good sport, too bad he hasn't rubbed off on the rest of the team or the coach.

I know this sounds crazy, but cayanne pepper is a vascular dialator and will allow more blood to regions starved for it, many with migranes find relief from snorting a small amount, think matchhead. It will burn. Many report after the burn, headache is gone. I'm not sure how bad it would be, but I use a caynne based nasal spray, and after s short burn, sinus is clear. If you try it start small.

Yessiree...it works if indeed she has migraines, but if it's another cause it could steal her face right off her head.....

I do tend to get migraines, and though these current headaches have been on the tamer side, I attribute them to migraines since I do suffer from them, and also the three days in a row thing. They have been subsiding with medication - and my headache is better right now though my head not back to normal. I am DEFINITELY going to get some cayenne to keep on deck!! Thanks Boo! It's strange that I haven't heard that suggestion. I've done worse in my younger days, I think I'll be able to handle it and as I love spicy foods I might even like it. I guess I'll have to think twice about telling anybody anything about "where the light don't shine." Apparently, that is everywhere. Keep Stella Blue.

again I emphasize, start small! I consume a teaspoon or two of the cayenne daily, a 1/2 teaspoon in a cup of hot water a couple times daily, it keeps veins open wide, good for many ailments. Google cayenne health benefits, you will be suprised at the number of things it helps. Keep it away from rrrrgrrrr or he won't be able to sit down for a week.

My daughter pulled second place in last nights Talent show Playing "Wayfaring Stranger". Man,! She was packing some soul!!! Tonight's her sweet sixteen party,..I have to write a Toast,..I am no public speaker, and dread such things. It is so incredible to see what a beautiful young woman she has become. I still see her as a tiny little kid, on a Sunday morning looking up at me from her cereal bowl with those big blue Eyes, asking me to pass the O.J....I hope everyone has a Greeeeeaaat Friday, Tfonts,..Love the new Avatar,.. My brother lives just outside Cleveland and I've been to Rock Hall a few times,...Doors and Stones Exhibits,.. unfortunately never made it out there for The Grateful Dead exhibit, Although My Ex did and bought me a Tee Shirt.
