❧
If all the rain we are getting was snow it would be four feet deep. It hasn't stopped raining all day. It just slows down once in a while. The temperature hasn't varied since yesterday when it started rained more that five degrees either up or down. At least there are no hurricanes now. It's the wrong time of the year for that.
As you might imagine, there isn't much going on at my house today. There has been no e-mail except from the iPhone group I sub to just to get some sense of what's going on. I've considered getting a smart phone, and if I did it would probably be an iPhone. Now that I might get a free phone because I'm so poor, I may settle for that and get an iPad instead. I really need a reliable GPS with Google Maps.
I've never even owned a cell phone before. The biggest disadvantage to not having one is the mobility it allows. Since I've never had one I don't know what I'm missing. Getting a smartphone would be another digital step up the ladder even from a cell phone. Maybe I should start small.
Recently I ordered some silver wire to make silver colloids with. I've been a little nervous about whether the place I ordered it from was legit. Today I got an e-mail saying that the wire was shipped late Wednesday through the Post Office, and he provided me with a number to trace the delivery.
Ordering stuff over the internet with a debit card is a risky business. I've only been ripped off once that I know about. I did have to get a new debit card because the scam at TJMaxx. They got my numbers, but Visa caught it and cancelled my old account before they used them. I'm happy (or will be happy) to think I've found a reliable source for silver.
The silver colloids I make will be my first experience with using silver as an antibiotic except for the Silverdene I mentioned previously. I intend to drink some of it, but right now I'm thinking of how useful it could be to me externally. Particularly as a deodorant.
My skin is getting so thin now that I hate to take too many showers. It's really tough on my skin. Silver kills the bacteria that causes perspiration odor. Using a silver colloid solution in a spray bottle could make my old body and well-worn clothes a lot easier to deal with in public.
The main purpose of using the silver colloids externally is the bacteria and fungi everybody picks up just by living in the world. I've very eager to find out if the application of silver colloids will keep the lesions associated with the rheumatoid arthritis at bay.
I was real surprised the Silverdene worked. I seem convinced it worked because the lesions didn't respond to anything else I'd used to get them to heal up. The fact that it did work as an antibiotic seems to indicate that these lesions are associated with external bacteria, and that hadn't seemed possible before.
None of the usual omens for these lesion being infected were present. If the silver wire arrives soon I'll be able to find out for sure that the silver acting as an antibiotic will work for me on these lesions in the future. I'm not being pessimistic to expect them to be there in the future.
I really haven't had a handle of what I've needed to do to stop or prevent them. I've shown these sore spots to several doctors, and for the most part they ignored then and didn't consider them to be any sort of threat. To be candid, the only real problem they've been in the past has been cosmetic. They look icky. Nobody wants that.
