Pete's BLOG-Day 26,353. Drinking urine breast feeding piglets

Today is Thursday, October 4, 2012. My stats: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes on the exercise ball and 43 minutes of walking = 2.4 miles for an October total of 8.5 miles. My weight was down to 162.8 pounds. I've lost 4.8 pounds since last Sunday.

QUOTE from author Kathryn Schutz: "Regret doesn't remind us that we did badly. It reminds us that we know we can do better."

What I LEARNED today.  I tuned into The National Geographic channel an hour ago and saw some things going on in this world that were a little hard to watch. The first was in Australia where some people drink their own urine (these people were not the Aborigines.) They were also using urine to unplug ears. and to tone the skin. They interviewed these people and they said that it was healthy to do so. Most medical doctors they talked to said there was no medical research to prove that  drinking urine was healthy.
The second segment was in Papua New Guinea (these people were the actual natives.) There was an old lady who was letting the "runt pigs" suck on her breasts even though she had no milk. She said, through an interpreter, that it was like a pacifier for these runts, otherwise they would die. She also chewed up food and had the runt pigs eat it from her mouth.

As the reporters said what some people do in their culture in strictly taboo and unbelievable in others. How true that is!!! It was interesting but ............!

HUMOR for today. A Texas candidate for office, speaking of his opponent, said, "That low-down scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass - and I'm just the one to do it."
