Guest guest Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Duncan -- was only talking about 1) products - eg cider vinegar and amino-acids. Not the rest, I don't know about it and can't comment. Though I do take umbrage at using a persons PAST history as a measure of their CURRENT history - eg Clinton and Lowinsky, Gingrich and his wives, etc - with power (and wealth) come temptations we need never concern ourselves so simply don't understand. Can't understand. A quick look at history shows us all to well the foibles of some of our greatest leaders, from Rome to the Hun Dynasty, even to Western and Eastern Religions. So -- death -- our shadow with whom we must become friends.   I DO take offense at using a personal life to judge a professional life. Few are the Great Men who do not walk in feet of clay. Aristotle? Liked young boys. Along with SO many talented and civilization Changers. Sapho speaks for herself and the women who followed. Tell me how you sprout - I would recommend the most simple way -- a compost tea because 1) it's cheap, 2) it's clean, 3) it's fast, 4) it works.  Tell me the seeds you sprout - and how you do it - mostly the seeds - and room temperature. I'll be back in a bit - found some damage to the far end of my green house that happened during the last snow storm, -- LOL - GOTTA RUN - IT'S FRACKING SNOWING AGAIN! AND I THOUGHT I HAD HALF A HOUR FOR A COUP OF COFFEE! -- SCREAM! - HOPE I'm sending this privately - you know what I mean about death, and I do appologize if I came off hot-headed-- some times there are buttons there when I'm tired -- just trying to get things fixed from the last snow storm -- and now we have another!!! and the end of the greenhouse is down and was waiting for repair-- just a moment ago when I came in to make coffee, temp was falling but skies were BLUE! -- But that's the Sierra for you! -- oh great, and now wind! -- should be fun out there! -- dang! -- sold my crops for a cup of coffee! -- OK, TWO cups of coffee! - tell me how and what you sprout each CAN have it's own temp for sprouting most efficiently - we have all had the temps of 68*F and 72*F for certain seeds to start their germination - and of course the 'to hell and back' for parsley- about 60 days of sitting in the ground - some seeds like a tiny bit of cooling before they get warm again - some have been per-refrigerated -- but I've GOT to go - even at 50-60 WPM and a hand that I first drove a graver into and then burned on a min-torch! scream! - ouch! -- but gotta get on the green house or might as well not have it! -- thanks - this is the LAST chance I give to 'reply to sender' if this goes public - and just remember that a healthy immune system needs something to mobilize against - just like a country needs an enemy to fund a military. GOTTA GO! SCREAM(ing into the snow and cold and wind!) ppaul  Dream Well. Travel Well.  May you Walk Your Path in Beauty. " Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

(Last time for me to do this, folks, I swear it.) >Lovely day. Sun's shining. Feel good. > >(By the way, thanks again for the previous post on soil micro-organisms.) > >Hoo. Take my breath away. , This is light years from anything that was going through my mind, however fleetingly, as I typed a note about the Braggs that made me pause. > >You know, each person can make connections from one piece of information to another with lines of logic (or lack of them) that the next person cannot see. I don't have any logic here, and I don't have any proof of anything, nor do I feel either is required on a forum like this one (in a science laboratory, sure, or a courtroom, naturally). > >For me, in my random creative meanderings, it made me wonder if I could trust all that >I had read in Bragg books. No proof, it just made me wonder, They have kept up this lie for decades, and their writing has been quoted by others I admire (Dr. , the late herbalist). > >I decided that I would have to be more careful about all information from all sources. Now, in regard to sprouting, there are lots of little tips and techniques I would love to learn, like optimum temperatures, how to grow sprouts in the intense summer heat, and especially how to get minerals into the sprouts. Whatever I read or hear, I'm going to test and experiment with myself, without blindly believing. That was the positive result ofpausing to consider the Braggs' morals - for me, and perhaps for a few others, but not everyone. > >Those are the connections in my mind. I haven't been part of wars (though there may be some coming. Who knows?) but my best buddy and ex-marine had lots of fun in Grenada, my uncle fought bravely in the Atlantic, and my personal idol, Onoda Hiro, who lives just south of us in Wakayama - and is a swell guy at 90 and ticking - single-handedly shot and killed more than 28 civilians many years after 'The Pacific War' had ended. The only thing these fine people have in common is that they don't want to remember or talk about these wartime experiences. (Suits me. I have seen enough dead bodies volunteering in hospices and ushering in funeral homes (especially after dying in car accidents - of course, the morticians did remarkable reconstructive work. Got to count your blessings wherever they occur. right?). > >What does any of this have to do with sprouts? I'm still looking... > >You have my sympathy for any unfortunate thoughts that come to mind from whatever >I post, but forgive me. It's beyond my control. I do make an effort to post pleasant ideas, since I have no idea who may be reading - spinsters or twelve-year-olds. > >Is anyone still reading? > >I'd love to hear more about soil organisms. Really. Seriously. I'm interested in this stuff and welcome input. Thanks again. > >Back to sprouting - and only sprouting. > >Peace, out. >Duncan > > >> >> <SNIP> Bragg picked up his son's wife, , and she masqueraded as his daughter.<SNIP> >> >> AND THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF A PRODUCT, EXACTLY HOW? >> >> I murdered and killed an helped do both (there's a difference) in 'Vietnam as a weapons carrying Independent Corpsman -- am I not to be trusted?
