Trick or...how long do I have to do this????

As a child I never said the following statement "Trick or Treat" My parents didn't believe that we should "celebrate" Halloween since it was the devils holiday. I understand it now but at the time it was devastating. Picture this.

Poor pudgy Bear at school and all the kids are talking/yelling about who they are going to be for Halloween. Who's house they would visit, what parent was going and how much FUN they were going to have. Poor Bear. I remember that we had a bowl of shelled unsalted peanuts just in case someone came over for treats. Most of the time we would turn off all the lights and hang out in the basement so we wouldn't have to torture ourselves by looking out the window at all the fun. I would however spend several halloweens standing on a chair looking out my window and watching my friends and other kids roaming the streets going door to door gathering up chocolate goodness.

So as an adult I have always looked forward to giving out candy and seeing the kids so excited to see what candy and how much I give them. It is exciting for about 15 min and then I get sick of it. I sit there thinking "maybe I could just leave the bowl out there" but then I think "what about that greedy 35 year old who should be handing candy out himself takes the whole bucket then where would the kids be?" NO CANDY from the crazy ladies? EGG THE HOUSE! This actually happened to my family once so I am petrified of it (plus it takes the paint off your house).

Tonight I hung in there for 1 1/2 hours. I also made sure that I commented to the adults who are TO OLD to be trick or treating by saying "what's your costume... A Parent?" and then shoot them the dirt eye. None of these said adults had kids near or with them. You don't see me out their in my unicorn outfit trying to trick or treat for the 1st time.

So long Halloween...hello turkey, something we were allowed to participate in.

Lack of Blogging

Many people are complaining about me NEVER posting anything new. Well here is the problem
  1. Our computer is about to melt down. If I download one more picture I think it will melt like the wicked witch of the west.

That really explains it. I have nothing more to say really without pictures I have NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING if I don't have yooooouuuuuuu ( Whitney Houston in the "Bodyguard")

Please hold your britches and wait.

Bear will be back.

(the truth is 1 person asked me about posting, thanks corna for caring)

Black oil or Rusty Bear???




This post is not for all readers. This post is and could be very disgusting to you. Please do not view the photos or continue to read on if you don't like rusty water or contaminated people with the black oil from the X-Files.

This all started when Mariah went to the Canepari Health Care Clinic and did the "Living-Water Energy Cleanse". Due to the lack of kidneys that she has and other medical problems she went there to have a Cleanse and such. So she told me about it an I had to go.

If you know me you know that I can become obsessive with things like this. There was a period of time that I was trying to get everyone I knew to try the Ear Candles. I love it, even though he wax is gross I enjoy the medical aspects of the process. I also have in the past become obsessed with the Biore' pore cleaning strips. I would keep the strip for several days to examine all the black heads and dirty pores. I know you are thinking GROSS! BEAR IS SO GROSS! I am not people I just am weird.

This stems back to the days of boredom in Moline, there wasn't much to do except kick a cow pie or milk a goat, but we had a microscope and I use to examine everything under it. I would pull out a strand of my hair and examine the root or I would see if I had any dry skin and examine that under the microscope.

So this leads to the main event. Today I went to Canepari Health Care Clinic and had the foot treatment done. I will try to explain this to the best of my ability. First you go into this room with a chair, comfortable might I add, and place you feet in a tub. Not a giant tub or even a pet'cure tub just a plastic tub with this ball in it. Once your feet are in the guy turns this little machine on which is attached to the ball. It has all these blinking lights and numbers, really it was a timer, but it did have blinking lights. The ball does nothing it looks like stuff is coming out of the ball but it is the magnetic power coming from the ball that is making all the stuff come out of the ball but it really is coming out of your feet. I know BLOW your mind.

I sat for 30 min with my feet in the tub watching as the water gets tan, light brown, brown, dark brown, and then what I call bubbling black oil brown. I asked what it was and they told me since I was a smoker a lot of it may be tar and also they told me it was cleaning out my system. They said they were happier that it was in the tub and not in me anymore I was mortified how could I be so RUSTY? Towards the end of the treatment, the water was bubbling and the bubbles were like all oily and I am sure toxic.

These are the pictures of what is looked like. If you don't want to look please stop reading now.


So totally gross huh!!!!???? According to the brochure the detoxification happens after the therapy. I am just picturing Krychech, bad guy on X-Files, throwing up all sorts of black oil....I don't want to be infected....

Scully?????? Mulder????? Anyone????
