Ginkgo doesn’t work: Are there better ways to save your brain? – CNN.com: “Ginkgo biloba has failed — again — to live up to its reputation for boosting memory and brain function. Just over a year after a study showed that the herb doesn’t prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, a new study from the same team of researchers has found no evidence that ginkgo reduces the normal cognitive decline that comes with aging.”

All I have to say is ” Well Crap I thought it would work!”

As Some may know I dropped my Iphone 3g into the toilet. I was bending to lift the lid and it fell out of my shirt pocket and splunk. (AAAAAH) I retrieved it quickly yet it did get water in the innards. I turned it off and had it sit in a plastic bag with rice and one of those Silica bags meant to draw out water. 48 hours later it turned on fine and made calls. Though it had funny water stain patterns on the screen. everything seemed to work except the home button. After calling AT&Monopoly about upgrade status, I get the ha not till december answer. Apple wasn’t any help either they said since it got wet it would be $199 to fix it. Well yesterday they fixed it for free, though I don’t think they meant to. See after installing the Iphone OS 3.1 update which came out yesterday amongst all the “how the Beatles changed the world” hype. I accidentally hit the home button last nite out of habit and WHOAH it worked, Whats this.. OMG I got my phone back.!

So Apple was going to charge me 2oo bucks for what turns out to be a reinstall… BASTADGES

oh well I have my phone back and everything works.. Cool beans.

Yesterday Morning we had to euthanize our 11 year old Lab/Boxer Mix, Honey. She had a neurological condition that blocked signals from the brain reaching here back legs, as well as apparent neuropathy that was degenerative. She couldn’t feel here back feet, this was evident by here stepping on the front of her paws and dragging here claws. It had gotten to the point where she couldn’t control here bowels.

Honey had many names Squirt, ball smacker, happy jaws, toad butt, slurp monster, velvet ears. but she was my honey bunny. I was better prepared for Jake back in may, partially due to him being 14 and the slow progression of his age related issues. The process with honey came on quick .. pretty much since January this year, when she crashed down the stairs into my legs, almost knocking me over, that resulted in a few moments of yipeing and gingerly navigating stairs afterward.

I prefer to remember the good times Tugging the Woobee (floss rope) and chasing tennis balls, and Kongs around. I’m really going to miss my bunny.
