Proudly Safrican

I love the South African Flag.
It's got to be the funkiest, most distinctive flag in the world.

I went onto PayPal's website, and was looking for SA on the list of countries they service. When my eye caught our flag, I nearly gave a yelp of delight. It stood out from the other, boring flags and I felt a rush of patriotism.

I want to order something from the States. I've been meaning to do so for ages, but I've been buggering around with it. I want to order a proteolytic enzyme by the name of Serrapeptase. It's actually not expensive, only $15 plus shipping. It's not prescription meds, or anything. More like a supplement. Originally derived from silkworms, it is the enzyme they use to 'melt' their cocoons when they metamorph into moths. The enzyme doesn't harm living tissue, just the dead matter of the cocoon.
There has been some success with ms, using this enzyme, as it breaks down the dead, scar tissue of the brain-lesions, thus allowing new tissue to grow, and hopefully retracing the steps a bit. Reversing disabilty, even, if you are lucky. Certainly worth a try, as it is a natural product and contains no adverse side-effects.

Count me in. Natural = good, in my book.

That reminds of an ad I saw in the junkmail. "Lose weight the way nature intended", it read. And then underneath, in smaller print, "Only one injection per day... all natural ingredients...blah blah..."
What a joke.
The way nature intended, surely, is to eat less McDonalds, more salads, and to occasionally get off your bum and do some exercise. Not that I have done any exercise whatsoever in the past four years. And it shows. I'm not overweight, as such, but terribly out of shape. I really need to tone up. Chance would be a fine thing, if my hips would just give me a gap. (Now that's what I'd call a cast-iron alibi). Guess I could eat less though...? Naaaaa.
