My TestimonialsApril 13, 2006
I'm not much for writing a lot. I just like to get to the point.
There is nothing better than a smart woman, especially when she is exceptionally brilliant. Thank God for Mary Beth and he/she better make tons, (well maybe not toooo tooo many.) more of them. This is an unsolicited testimonial.

about me
I work for a telecommunications company, helping people with their data networks. I am doing a lot with IP telephony these days. Happily married, to another network engineer, so we don't bore each other at dinner when we talk about work.

The little guys are doing an awesome job, and this is perfect consistency for kefir! It is a little thick, fairly smooth, and tangy! The taste grows on you, and it has all kinds of health benefits - it adds good bacteria to your gut, and can kill bad bacteria - some studies (and plenty of personal stories) suggest that it can even kill the bacteria that causes ulcers.

My new kefir grains! I had made a few batches using Yogourmet starter packets, which turned out really well.

Commercial producers switched to the powdered starter preparation years ago, since living cultures can be harder to control, and laws required certain food handling methods. But, there are some die-hards out there who...

I figured I would try a test post, and include a celebratory picture! Even when I get too busy to spend much time out here, I really miss it when it is down.. oops - it is still not all the way back, it won't accept the photo I am trying to add as a valid image, let's try text only...

This is a link to a local Hmong band that was mentioned in our paper today - their name is Post-Nomadic Syndrome, which I think is brilliant, their people have been wandering for so long. I like this song, too. It is really great to see the progress that the Hmong have made in the US over the years - there is a large population in Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and California. It has certainly not been an easy path, but they finally have their people moving up into positions of influence, in ed...

I have sat at this keyboard for a number of years now, it has just chugged along, so I never paid that much attention to it. Tonight, however, I had to reboot, and happened to look down at just the right angle, with the light in just the right place, and I absentmindedly read the sticker. I was stunned! in they way you are right before you fall off your chair laughing! Some experts believe that the use of any keyboard may cause serious injury?! Who are these people? And the manufacturer ...
