Announcement

As of November first, I will no longer be posting on Random Thoughts for a full month. Some of y'all may have caught onto the fact that I'm an aspiring author and I've recently joined NaNoWriMo. For the whole month of November I will be busy trying to write 50,000 WORDS!! THAT'S A FULL NOVEL IN JUST ONE MONTH! So all of the posts will be left to Random Thinker 2 and 3. When I'm done I'll post up my book so anyone who wants to read it can! :) 

Here is my current synopsis:

Imagine the TV Show Psych, the A-Team, the Mission Impossible Movies and Indiana Jones all combined into one book. Follow four sarcastic, loud, goofy, occasionally spazy, sometimes immature, and sometimes bizarrely normal women who have been best friends for nearly ever and are in their late teens to early twenties. Oh, and did I mention that they are spy's? One day Sophie gets a call from an old friend she hasn't heard from in three years, since her days back at the D.I.S. high school. The days when she was an actual active spy. For once in her life she answers her cell and from that moment her routine life is thrown back into the world of espionage. She meets up with her three friends and then eventually four guys (spy's) and they travel the Western hemisphere in search of their friend, to solve a mystery, unravel a conspiracy and at the same time try to evade the bad guys (a Russian arms dealer, an Italian arms dealer, and some unknown fellow with fantastic shoes) and yes, even the good guys who are convinced that the team of 8 are bad guys. They go from a New York hospital, to an underground mansion is Colorado, all the way down to Bolivia (where an unfortunate event involving a president, a shrimp and some chocking occurs...) But that's all of the past, as of now they're sitting in an interrogation room at D.I.S. headquarters and they have to tell their whole story to a man who looks nothing like Jack Nicholson, through a series of flashbacks and interruptions.

TRICK OR TREAT

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!! So I was thinking, what is the ultimate Halloween post I can do? Yeah well I'm lame so I'm just going to ask you a bunch of questions and maybe post an article written by somebody else. Let's see what I do by the end of this thing SHALL WE?!!?

1. WHAT ARE YOU GOING AS?! WHAT ARE YOU DRESSING UP AS?!!?  

I'm putting on a blue shirt, some jeans, and writing BOOK on my FACE. 

2. What do you do for Halloween? Any traditions? 

Instead of competing with a bunch of five year olds for candy, I go out and buy my own and dump it all in a big cauldron! And keep all for myself! ...naw I share. I've also sat down with a bunch of friends and watched creepy movies. That's about all the excitement I get from Halloween. 

3. What's your favorite Halloween candy?

I like almond joys and twix and kit kats and skittels and suckers! 

4.  Do you decorate the house?

Absolutely not! I don't wish to be freaked out every time I leave and enter the house. I'm a total marshmell xD 

QUIZ TIME! 

What Halloween monster are you?

WELL I DIDN'T KNOW SHE CLASSIFIED AS A MONSTER!?

Wanna know the history of Halloween? It's sort of spooktacular. 

Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats.

NOW I ASK FOR A GHOST STORY EXCHANGE! DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF A GOOD GHOST STORY THAT WILL FREAK THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME?!

Camp Tikihama

Lyrics:

Camp Tikihama what you are,

Reaches near and reaches far,

From white capped mountains to crystal lakes,

sing out loud for Tiki sakes!

We are friends who bond over bright ember fires,

And to marshmellow dreams we will retire,

Camp Tikihama you're so true,

La-la-la-la-la and then the view,

La-la-la-la-la and then the view!

Onions- who knew?!

ONIONS PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu...  Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.. The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).. The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy. Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several years ago, many of her employees were coming down with the flu, and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work.  Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.  Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:  Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at night.. It said the onion wo uld be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.  Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.  This is the other note. Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.  LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist. Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely safe. "It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick. Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES. He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator. It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!). Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down. Also, dogs should never eat onions. T heir stomachs cannot metabolize onions. Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning. According to some additional sources the above article is not completely true. Onions do absorb as it says, but not to that extreme. In other words, don't rely completely on onions to keep you healthy xD and don't throw out the second half of the onions you cut.
