Deadly Nutmeg

Did you know nutmeg is a hallucinogenic drug? Eating just 0.2 ounces of it can leave you convulsing and eating 0.3 ounces will lead to hallucinations. Eating a whole one will leave you in a state of “nutmeg psychosis” and with the sense of an impeding doom. There have been two recorded deaths by nutmeg in history: the first was in 1908 and the second was as recently as 2001.
Inhaling or ingesting nutmeg in high doses can cause marijuanalike high. There is a long list of bad nutmeg high symptoms which include:
Hallucinations
Palpitations
Nausea
Dry mouth
Fever
Abdominal spasms
Convulsions
Dizziness
Vomiting
Dehydration
Body pain
Irritation of the skin
Constipation
Insomnia
Lack of energy and mortor skills
Lack of speaking skills / Social withdraw
Contains safrole, a carcinogen that is bad for the liver.

After a quick search I found that I could buy 216 pampers swaddlers (the economy pack not sold in stores) in size one for only $25.99 from Target.com. The same exact product was being sold for $43.58 at Sams (online). Not only was it less expensive at Target, you could also subscribe to have them automatically delivered every month and receive a 5% discount because of your subscription. Needless to say we high tailed it (maybe more li...

Lights Out!

Heeyyyyyyyy ^_^ Finally back!! Whew! From being stuck out of town (Keysville, Va Lawwd have mercy) to coming home to no electricity, these last few days have truly been eventful, but I've thought of my readers everyday :) I am blessed to have my power back on here in Lynchburg Va, however, there are those who don't and if you know someone Please Please call or go and check on them especially if they're elderly or have any medical conditions. This heat isn't making things any better.  I gotta tell ya, I panicked at first lol. We, as a society, have become so dependent on electricity that its hard to function without it...A/C, fans, light, refrigerators, ect...and lets not forget CELLPHONES lol I know people who went to charge their phone before they went to get water and food *Puts hands on hips and shakes head*  However, through all this bad there has been alot of good!!
