My son actually thinks he is Harry Potter. He loves watching the movies and seeing all the neat stunts they watch. I was afraid it would be too scarry for him to see, but he dosent even seem phased. I suppose its because he has seen movies such as Jurassic Park and whatnot. But he adores Harry Potter.
So much that i bought him a cape at halloween time and he uses a hair stick of mine for a wand. The imagination of children just astounds me. I dont remember playing pretend like he does, but my mother says i was huge with ideas and imagination. I still have a decent imagination in the fact that I love to write stories, blog, and yes, photograph. I hope to remember everything about my boy at this age and stage. All the things he comes up with, the things he thinks of, says and does.
Hes growing up far too fast.

I keep waiting for winter to actually start for a while now. Here it is, december at a close and i can still see cold bare earth outside. Lots of dirt with a smattering of snow. Sigh. I just wish that winter would be something like those of my youth. When we had several feet of snow by christmas and more soon after, rather then this… Its sad….

Pay Per Post

Did Christmas hit you as hard as it hit me? I totally blew my budget buying gifts for my two sons. While I tried to get just about everything my older son asked for. That wasn’t possible. He wants everything he sees. So while its not possible to get him everything he wants… I at least got him the things he really wanted, plus a few i thought he would like. My younger son got a few toys, but at 6 months old, Christmas just isn’t so big for him. He was far more interested in the wrapping paper.
Its hard explaining to my older son about money…. He thinks i can get anything. Frankly i wish i had half as much money as he thinks I do.

But i did find a site online where I can make some extra money by writing. At Pay Per Post you can get paid to blog While i make a few extra bucks, i can save it up in my paypal account to buy a few more things. And even smarter, save up for my sons 4th birthday. Or splurge on myself.
Anyway back to what i was saying. The site i was talking about is called Pay Per Post. Its so easy to use. I go through their site, find something I want to write about. And use their included instructions to write a blog entry and submit it to them. Then 30 days after the post is live, i get paid for it. While it doesn’t happen right away, its great to build up some extra pay pal money. For whatever you are saving for.
Give it a shot!

Christmas was a huge busy time for us. Family get togethers and all. Busy busy.
C got this little piano, it was alot of fun actually. Ive been playing with it, with all 6 notes it playes, i can tink out mary had a little lamb and a few other nursery rhymes.
C keeps trying to play it when im playing with it! What is wrong with my 6 month old, doesnt he know that mommy wants to play with his toy!! hehe silly boy.

Pizza

Did you know you could order Pizza online from Pizza Hut? I just did it and i cant believe how easy it is. They have the entire order online, plus online only coupons. I could order one of the traditional pizzas, like meat lovers. Or i could build my own pizza with whatever toppings i wanted. Oh man, the joy!
Its really nice, you get the option of paying in cash, or paying by credit card. Plus because you sign up for an account. You can save your information. Like your name and address. Even your credit card information. But that isnt reccomended online. You know. You can do delivery or pick up. There is a charge for delivery, but hey thats allright. It covers the delivery tip.
When all was said and done. They sent me an email confirming my address and giving me an estimated time. Which should be arriving any minute now!
Say yes to PIZZA from Pizza hut!

Stolen

NOT WRITTEN BY ME! I JUST SHARE THE VIEWS!

1) Vaccines have never been tested

The gold standard of medical science is the double blind crossover placebo study. This test has never been performed on any vaccine currently licensed in America. In an astounding leap of logic, contrary to all rules of science, vaccines are assumed to be safe and effective and therefore, it is considered to be unethical to withhold vaccinations for the purposes of testing them.

2) Vaccines contain toxic additives and heavy metals

The list of vaccine ingredients includes toxins such as formaldehyde, a substance which the Queensland Poisons Control Centre has said was “unsafe at any level if injected into the human body”; carbolic acid, also a strong poison which was implicated in deaths and serious injuries in a recent Sydney hospital mishap; aluminium which is linked with the development of Alzheimer’s disease and allergies; and Thiomersal, a mercury-based preservative which is a known neurotoxin and whose inclusion in vaccination sparked a series of Congressional hearings which saw the US Government and the AAP (American Academy of Paediatrics) call for its immediate withdrawal from any vaccine product and which was withdrawn over two years ago in the USA from any over-the-counter medicines. It was also withdrawn from the American Hepatatis B vaccines, Engerix and HB Vax II, though their Australian counterparts which are still being injected into children here today, are only just being made mercury free or mercury reduced (though the old, mercury-laced stocks will be used up rather than being withdrawn from use).

3) Vaccines are contaminated with human and animal viruses and bacteria

All childhood vaccines, apart from the Hepatitis B (which is genetically engineered and carries with it a different set of problems,) are cultured on either animal tissue, a broth of animal and/or human blood and blood products or the cell lines from aborted human foetuses. None of these culturing methods is able to guarantee an uncontaminated vaccine. In fact, it is well known that many foreign viruses and bacteria can and do contaminate vaccines. Almost none of these contaminants have been studied. The few which have been leave many parents concerned about the long-term effects of injecting these substances into their children. For instance, SV 40 (simian or monkey virus 40 – just one of 60 monkey viruses known to contaminate the polio vaccines) has been linked with cancers in humans; there is a chicken retrovirus which contaminates the measles and mumps vaccines called Reverse Transcriptase. This substance, an ancient non-human DNA code, is thought to switch on the HIV virus and cause it to become AIDS in humans; AIDS itself has been linked with a virus called SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus) which contaminated both the polio and smallpox vaccines; the current MMR (measles mumps rubella) and other vaccines which contain bovine (cow) blood products are thought to be able to spread the human and always fatal form of mad cow disease, Creutzfeld-Jacobs disease, more readily than eating contaminated meat.

4) Vaccines can cause serious immediate side effects

As long as there have been vaccines, there have been reports of serious side effects following their administration. These side effects include (but are not limited to) convulsions and epilepsy, permanent brain damage, anaphylactic (life threatening allergic) reactions, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), retinal and brain haemorrhages (now being confused with Shaken Baby Syndrome) and death.

5) Vaccines can cause serious long-term side effects

According to medical reports, children are now less healthy than they have ever been before. More than 40% of all children now suffer from chronic conditions , something that was unheard of prior to mass vaccination. Vaccines have been associated with such conditions as Asthma, Eczema, Food Allergies, Chronic Ear Infections, Insulin Dependent Diabetes, Arthritis, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder, Ulcerative Colitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Hyperactivity, Schizophrenia, Multiple Sclerosis, Cancer and a raft of other chronic and auto-immune conditions which are experiencing dramatic rises in incidence.
6) Vaccines do not necessarily protect against infectious diseases
For many years, parents were told that once a child was fully vaccinated, they would be protected for life. That has now turned into a series of life-long boosters that are still not able to protect either children or adults from infectious diseases. For the very real risk of both short and long-term side effects from vaccines, parents are asked to allow their children to be given vaccines that at best, will provide a temporary sensitisation to illnesses and at worst, can make their children more susceptible to both opportunistic and infectious illness. As evidenced by the recent whooping cough outbreak in SA, the only Australian state which actually records vaccination status in cases of infectious illness, 87% of all those who contracted whooping cough and whose vaccination status was known were fully and appropriately vaccinated. In fact, Australian government statistics have shown that the majority of outbreaks in Australia occur in those who have been either fully vaccinated or were too young to be fully vaccinated.

7) Doctors, as paid salesmen for vaccine products, are no longer considered to be trustworthy arbiters of their safety and effectiveness

Doctors are currently receiving several payments from the government to push vaccines. These include $6 for reporting vaccinations to the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR), a national database which tracks vaccination status in our children and which has been called “a back-door Australia Card”; $18.50 on top of their Medicare rebate for vaccinating a child on time; and a bulk payment at the end of each year based upon them having a practice vaccination rate in excess of 80%. These payments can add up to many tens of thousands of dollars in a busy inner-city practice.
As a result of this grossly unethical situation, doctors can no longer be thought of as objective when it comes to this issue. Parents no longer trust that their doctors will recommend that they vaccinate simply because it is the best thing for their child rather than the best thing for the doctor’s bottom line.

Pharmaceutical companies have paid for almost all vaccine research to date

Just as the tobacco companies paid for corrupt and incorrect research which purported to show that tobacco and tobacco products were safe for human consumption, so too the pharmaceutical companies have paid for and produced almost all of the research into vaccines. While the Australian government continues to spend literally hundreds of millions of dollars a year in promoting and implementing vaccination campaigns (an example is the $292 million earmarked for vaccination against Meningococcal this year alone!) and little or no money on independent research, parents will continue to mistrust the research that has been performed by vested interests. After all, companies are by their very definition commercial concerns which are motivated by profit. There is nothing that would make a pharmaceutical company intrinsically more ethical and therefore more trustworthy than a tobacco company.
In addition, it is a little-known fact that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the government body which licenses and registers vaccines and other medical products, does not perform any tests whatsoever to verify pharmaceutical company claims of safety or effectiveness.

9) Doctors and health professionals rarely if ever report vaccine reactions

In discussions with representatives of both ADRAC (The Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee) and the SAEFVSS (Serious Adverse Events Following Vaccination Surveillance Scheme), the two government bodies charged with keeping track of reactions to vaccines and other drugs, the AVN’s representatives were informed that less than 10% of all adverse reactions are ever reported. This means that the government’s claims of vaccine safety are admittedly 90% incorrect. In addition, the AVN’s adverse reactions database currently contains details on more than 800 serious adverse vaccine reactions. Not one of these reactions was ever reported by the doctors or health professionals involved. Parents cannot rely .. with that wide a margin of error when they are dealing with the health and well-being of their children.

10) Some childhood illnesses have beneficial aspects and therefore, prevention may not necessarily be in the best interests of the child

Measles, for example, has been used in Scandinavian countries to successfully treat such autoimmune conditions as eczema and many studies have performed which show that children who do not contract measles naturally as a child are more likely to suffer from certain cancers later in life. In addition, recent studies have shown that contracting the common childhood illnesses help to prime and strengthen the immune system in a way that vaccinations just cannot do. This priming means that children are much less likely to suffer from the now common allergic and autoimmune conditions that plague them today. Conditions such as asthma, diabetes and cancer. In addition, vaccinated mothers cannot confer passive immunity to their children even if they have contracted the wild form of the disease. This immunity used to protect all children during their vulnerable first months and years. Now, a vaccinated mother will give birth to a child who will be susceptible to these infections when, prior to vaccines, they would normally have been immune.
Vaccination is a medical procedure. It should never, ever be mandated. Nor should there ever be any coercion, financial or social penalties for those parents who have chosen, as is their right under the law, not to take the above risks on behalf of their children.
Unvaccinated children continue to be among the healthiest children in our society. They are no more the carriers of disease than any other healthy person. It is the government’s responsibility to do the necessary research to ensure that procedures they are recommending for all Australian families are as safe and effective as they possibly can be. It is also their responsibility to keep vested interests honest. On both counts, this government has failed in its duty of care to our most vulnerable resource – our children.

Well its 2 pm, and in a few minutes Desiree will be wandering in from school and come knocking on the door. She comes to visit every day. Its nice to have company even if shes just 14 ( 15 in like 4 days lol) Then after a while Stephanie will come in, shes 17 and pregnant. She likes to play with the baby and talk about being pregnant.
Actually i feel live i do most of the talking when they come to visit,
We had some new people move in under me. They are 19 and have a 1 year old. Trying for another baby. At least with them having kids they understand that i cant always keep my 3 year old from being a PITA and noisy.
I really hate living in an apartment. I wish we could afford to live in a little duplex or house. But not untill this summer when we will probably start making more money. Sigh. Money just isnt a fun thing at all….

Anyway i need to get going, i can hear C waking up.

C is 6 months old. Gosh thats huge! Its passed by so fast!!
At his well baby today we finally got him weighed and measured. He is 20 lbs 8 oz and 27 and 5/8 inches long. Hes doing great, meeting all of his milestones, and is even ahead in the whole crawling department. Its so exciting. And yet so sad. my littlest boy is growing up so fast.
