Just to Clarify, you control the world!

Politicians and business people chanting "consumer spending, consumer spending", Facebook banning people for simply talking about Google Plus, governments destroying used cars in order to force us to buy new ones... How long will it take you to realized that you control the world with your pocketbook, the rich only got rich because you bought stuff from them.

The rulers only rule because you consent to it.

Imagine this, if you could get every person in the united states to give you one dollar today, tomorrow you would have $300 million.

Based on watching my mom shop, I would say the average Walmart bill is $100. If say 100 million people spend $100 per week, at the end of the week they have made $10 billion and I am sure the figures are much higher then that! I could be wrong, but it seems to me that if everyone in the US could agree to boycott Walmart for one week we could bring that monster of a company to it knees.

That is how much power we have

Now imagine this, Walmart has left your communities. You and your neighbors are now free to open up that bakery, clothing store, butcher shop, grocery store, sporting goods store, etc. that you always dreamed of. Now imagine in a years time $520 billion doesn't go over seas or into the pockets of the already rich; instead it moves into the pockets of your neighbors, who will in turn put it into your pocket.

You want your community to thrive? Start your own businesses, buy from each other and shop local!

Don't spend your money with at a company unless you can walk in and meet the owner.

Do the right thing... make facebook go the way of myspace!

Facebook is starting to suck, well... really it has for a long time. Not only is it slow and awkward, but they own everything you post and upload... they own your personal information! Now they have implemented a policy of sharing your personal information without your knowledge.

If you haven't already jumped on the bandwagon and gotten yourself a Gmail account, you should do so now and while you are at it activate your Google+ account. It's better then facebook, fast and it comes with video chat. Oh, did I mention that this could replace skype as well? I hope that soon the only thing facebook will be good for is link popularity.

Oh, and while you are at it...

Repeat after me:

Onion Juice for Alopecia... It Works!

I am sure if you suffer from alopecia, you have at least heard about this alternative treatment. I have the worst and most rare kind. A year ago I didn't even have hair in my nose. There are many things I have been doing that have impoved my situation, but since I have started using onion juice, now I don't have to look closely to see the new peach fuzz sprouting on my head; I have only been using the onion regularly for a few weeks.

I put an onion, I recently started adding garlic, in my juicer to extract the juice; I use an old crappy one I got at the thrift store. I keep it in the fridge for daily use, it seems to keep for several days; the garlic will turn the mixture blue green after a couple of days, it is still good.

Here is what I try to do every day.

I take a prenatal vitamin with food or juice; I use this kind, because this is what the doctor recommended when I was a teenager for my alopecia.

use a natural bristle nail brush and brush my scalp and eyebrows.

use a cotton ball to rub the onion/garlic juice all over my scalp and a tiny bit on my eyebrows; then I go do something else for at least half an hour.

I wash off what I can of the onion juice, then rinse with a bit of lemon juice; the lemon helps to get rid of most of the onion smell.

I mix in the palm of my hand equal parts sweet almond oil and vitamin E oil with a couple of drops of sage oil. My mom used to put straight E on my head when I was little and it was a goopy mess, the almond oil helps with this and the sage is supposed to be good for hair growth, plus it completely masks any lingering onion smell.

I massage this mixture into my scalp and eyebrows, I try to spend several minutes after just massaging my scalp and imagining myself with a full head of hair.
