He had to, in order to become a real estate agent, Sheriff's department had to, so he could, to do the math. Who said you can't do it? That was, you know, with great dedication, able to do everything else. To one dynamic and fire department. I did a lot of stuff, kind, to take care of his family and really did. worried about mom. I know he's in a bad way. I walked in the other night and Mark was like, I could see it and didn't have to say what. There was slim chants and she's hung in there. So I want to thank everybody for the prayer. Know that prayers work. That's your prayers for Kelly because we need them. We really do. The family's undergrown a lot here and other deaths. They don't know what caused it. She got into a new home and these are the kind of things life happens, we die. You know, the link and the circumstances, who knows? They plug in a way, look back to, and talk about our whole gardening. A lot of things you can do. The plants that are done, they're done producing, pull them up, get them out of there. The ones that are diseased, bag up, trash, put in a compost pile. We have composting is the action between those rows, right down into the ground. If you have row gardening, dig a trench between posts in between and And you can actually use, and again, as that breaks down, then this is something that we can do. One can do is winter. You can do this on a regular basis. But encouraging growth of worms or grow cultivators. And you can grow your own earthworms that I have a little earthy well. Layers of leaves that have some drink and just get lots of worms, put it in, introduced into your gardening as well. For cover crops, I'd like to do radishes like we were talking about. Put them in. and you can cover them up. You can do the same thing with turn. It's not so much. Root of beta, you can cover those. The winter, unless it gets sub weather, I'm talking sub zero, I'm talking 20 below, and we've seen a couple of those winters here. The ground's not gonna get hard under there unless it gets really, really cold. If they're uncovered, and pull your carrots right after November, where in February, and how heavy of a winter you have. but actually an insulator. So if you've got a straw on there and then the snow over can be warm under there. Or don't be afraid to put something in the ground. Certainly, it will be something that's going to grow rapidly that is going to be cold hardy. Peas, in my it just kind of take a little longer. Keep those things in mind when you're planting in the ground now. So you've got a good, then pull that back and keep that in mind. that can be done now if that's how you want to go.

Who wants a tomato that's part cockloat? But that's the last one where you say it's tomato cockloat. But they are actually taking the DNA and introducing it in tomatoes to make it some of the stuff that they're doing for production and looking at it and what they're doing is like why would you crazy. It's not something I want to eat. Gardening and talking this morning is great. I make a great salad and I grow one too. It's got some interest and it's something that we can do in a small way to get people thinking why do we have to reply on the local growth years ago. everything I do to point drives Mark crazy. But okay, I look at my grocery bill and I'm looking at it and it's better than 50% produce. So while I can grow it, I do. Helping people get started. People restart their lives. Great joy as well. I'm in this, yep, North from here. North of Don, even. Ever State, which is a very top multi-million, you know, now there's a Whole Foods market. It's like, okay, you've got a farm. The Whole Foods is known to one you can do year round, small greenhouse. You don't need a big one for this. This is so simple, you actually could do it in a self home. You built a shelf to go in the window. Go and name that store very simple, organic, organic, because they go through, let me turn into juice, probably more than that, and our 494 inch square, four inches maybe, that's production for his farm, living in that, you know, cooler environment where they have a very, very short growing season. be grown year round inside in your home in the south window really well insulated but he could sustain himself with kind of markets right in the window sill. These are very simple, very straightforward, the property's already paid off, the house is your taxes. I don't know if you did it, I certainly hope you did because I looked at the house and you got this. Because this beautiful thing of your house wasn't sitting there at the same time that you already have nothing been grown on He was halfway to an organic just right there. Got us that... I think I'm hearing music there. We got it as getting close to the bottom of the hour. Good morning. Good morning! Who is this? I'm sure you ought to almost hear you. And I didn't know that about organic. I know that they bring in this... something there they can't grow humans a lot less than this for just a moment. Right. Well, this is something that Whole Foods went for. They wanted... they wanted to know that what they were getting Whole Foods so that all natural, not one thing. If you're growing things naturally, that's fine. But in order to be certified as an organic growth, it's got to be 12 years chemical free. If you've got the countyman through, the commission coming through in spring, so alongside the road, if that overspray gets into your farm on property, you've got problems. Not going to test. and this is the problem that some of the organic farmers, if they're on a dirt road, they used to put down, used to be. I don't know what it is now.

I'm not really sure at all that what I have to say this morning is for radio, but you know what, I've always included the listeners with everything goes on. When I came to the table to talk about truth and common sense and these kinds of things, I thought we'd just do it all. because people will sometimes they're living through things they think they're going through it all by themselves when in fact there's a lot of other people suffering from very similar things. Of course I've been gone for some two weeks as some of you know my wife Kelly that Mark's mother had a stroke at man my god does this ever end it doesn't seem to Give me a lot of time to think I had to sit around and wait for this test and that test and those tests and this doctor and that doctor and I gotta tell you it's probably about the Spookiest thing I've ever really been to I'll give you a little bit of a rundown here if you care. I've we don't have any World news for you today Second here. I mean really where does the person start this? that we continue to find ways. One thing I want to say right up front, I've always been absolutely, for the most part, I guess you could say have animosity towards the medical industry because of the things they do. But you know, I tend to forget that they do good things as well. They do good things as well in Kelly's case. There was no choices whatsoever. There were things we had to do without question that I didn't necessarily agree with at first, but after realizing we don't have any choice, I guess for the first time in my life, I grew to appreciate at least one doctor. Like I said, it's kind of a an inner struggle. It's a tough thing because I know what the medical industry is doing to this country, to the people. And I tend to forget that there's people out there that want to do and help other people. I came to some realization about that actually because when things started for us here at home, my wife wasn't feeling good for three or four days and it seemed to be getting worse and worse. A lot of pain. She was suffering from a lot of pain. All from the midsection there. We tried different teas and this kind of thing. You know, you imagine all kinds of things. Here's something I've also realized too, folks. I'm going to share this with you. Now when I sit and I listen to you know, herbal remedies for this and herbal remedies for that. Well herbs have their place, I guarantee you. But I realized also that using herbs and natural healing processes are things that it's more of a lifestyle, not a remedy. It's more of a lifestyle. If you, you know, if every day you take your magnesium or or you drink your tea or whatever. It's a lifestyle and it's not a, oh we have an emergency, let's cure it with this. So anyway, the first four or five days was a lot of pain for Kelly and then I finally told her, I said we're gonna have to go see a doctor, there's no question about it. So you know, this is something I reluctantly had to do. And of course, we went down to the local clinic here. And you know they took x-rays and those kind of things and they took pictures of something. They weren't sure at all what it was. So then they suggested that we go to the hospital the next day. So that would be Tuesday. Then Tuesday for the low low price $3,300. You know they stuck her in a machine there and checked her all out. 30 minutes later we're waiting on a helicopter. to pick up Kelly and Flier up to Lestin, which is about 70 miles away. I mean, that's how fast it went. And Kelly suggested to me, she said, you better get in the car and start running because I'm going to be the hospital before you, which is true. So I ran out and I jumped in the car and I took her off at Lestin. Well, I didn't even get out of Orchina. I wasn't even out of town. And Kelly text messaged me and she said, we've changed direction. We're going to Spokane. So, you know, being totally unprepared for all this, you know, I just took off. Well, actually, I blew right through Lewis and then on up to Spokane. And that's when the nightmare started because there are so many things going on with my wife. Tuesday night, Tuesday night, we just about lost her because her blood pressure was going down. She was just going right through the floor and they had eight doctors running in there, man, transfusions, all kind of things. were going on. And like I said, I don't know if this is a, you know, it's not news. But you know, I've always been like this. As I've learned in life, I just act accordingly as I go through life. Sometimes things get you twisted sideways. This was pretty serious, so I was kind of reluctantly, you know, they were asking me questions because Kelly couldn't even talk. She was completely out. They were asking me for permission to do this and permission to do that. It was a problem or was a problem. She had a giant, and I mean giant cyst on her liver, which was actually bigger than the liver, which was cutting off an artery to her heart, which in turn was causing blood clots, which actually got into her lungs. At first they were going to operate, but then they realized they couldn't. because of the blood clots. So then they put a filter in to catch and hold the blood clots down in the leg area so they couldn't reach your heart, couldn't reach your brain. And then they were going to operate. Well, then they discovered that she was bleeding internally. She had a bleeder inside the cyst that was causing the cyst to swell up even larger. So then they had to cancel that and then they had to go to a a drain tube and every time we had it figured out of what had to be done, another priority came up. So then they couldn't operate. So then they put a drain tube in and we had to wait a day. They basically tried to cauterize the bleeders to stop the bleeding. They had to stop the bleeding before they could do anything. We had to wait for 24 hours for that. It didn't stop everything. So then other things had to be done. Well, it was a catch-22. We had to send the blood down to get rid of the blood clots, but we couldn't thin the blood down because they had to operate. And if they thinned the blood down, then she would have bled to death. And so it was quite a nightmare. Anyway, they came up with operating on her on Monday morning, which was passed Monday a week ago. And they went in and removed the cyst and has blood clots in her lungs. until we can get this all straightened out. I didn't say anything to anybody. I was way too busy. I got a chance to talk to Mark. Well, I didn't get a chance to talk to Mark. I ended up talking to Nancy and Mark Pritzgaard because his mother had a stroke. And I tell you, I just wear all this ends. But folks, I want to tell you this. We have, here at the Micro Effect, have exhausted every resource we ever had. taking care of business. This moment here, this morning, I'm not really sure what it is that we're going to be doing for the future of the micro effect. I have a lot of decisions to make based on all the things that are happening, things that are going to happen, things that will be taking place farther up the road. I've got messages in the chat room here. Joe, please continue. We are all family, please do. We care. Thank you. You know, I want to share this with you because one of my neighbors, when it all started, when I had to make one trip home, you see, I went to Spokane to begin with. But I'd left everything. All I had on was a pair of flip-flops and a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. And I'm going to be in Spokane for two weeks. A couple hundred miles back to the house, get some clothes in it, and a neighbor by handing me an envelope with some money in it. It was pretty thankful. It was very helpful because there's a lot that I had to do, hotel rooms and gas. There's a lot that comes into play. I cannot believe the amount of money it costs just to be there. for Kelly. But during the course of all this, way back when, when I used to run up a down the road, I would get on the highway. I would never turn anybody down, anybody ever come out now, speaking of, could you spare a few bucks so I could get something to eat? Every my whole life I've ever turned somebody down for a meal, ever. And one of these trips that I made from Spokane to Dr. Kamiye, I pulled into the gas station about 3 o'clock in the morning. I would wait until Kelly was sleeping. I'd take off. It's a 4 hour trip one way and then 4 hours back. So I'd get that all done in the middle of the night and be back in the morning for whatever else is going to happen the next day. But I pulled into the gas station in Lewiston. There was two guys, I swear to God, they looked like they'd been sleeping in a ditch for two months. One of them came over to me and asked me, he said, sir, could you help us with some gas? I was so wrapped up in what I had going on, you know, with that I reached in my pocket, I had a $5 bill and I handed him five bucks and he said, sir, we're trying to get somewhere, you know, blah, blah, blah. I said, well, I'm sorry, man. I said, that's all I have in my pocket. I could see they were desperate. I did. So I went ahead and filled up my car and I was thinking about all my troubles, all the things that I had going on and what I was facing and running back and forth and what was going on at the hospital and I kept standing there putting gas in my car and I was looking at these two guys that, well, they were stuck, man, they weren't going anywhere. Whatever they were doing, they were trying to get someplace. I don't remember the name of the town, but I just stood there looking at them and I thought to myself, you know, I've had a lot of people help me with a lot of different things. I stood there for a while looking at them and I finally walked over and I said, hey, can you get your car up to the gas pump here? I'll get you some gas. And they said, no sir, it's out of gas. I said, well, come on, I'll help you push it up to the pump. So I moved my car out of the way and I'm back their car up and I bought them a tank of gas. And the reason I did that is because all the things that people have done for me, I thought, you know, maybe Maybe in the middle of this hell that we're going to you still have to reach out and help others So I did folks that's pretty much how we have to look at life here Because if we aren't watching each other's back Nobody else is going to I just realized that Don and their good morning. God. I'm here. I'm My heart goes out to Mark and his his mother. I understand. She's what? 90 92 Yeah, you know what? Hell out of me is all you know all the things that can happen at one time. You know it's just all it's incredible It's like you can be just smooth water and everything's fine And you don't even need to bail out phone on this the thought of the site at the gas station you guys think about this You tell me how to get to us so whatever you think of that as a qualifier have to think that a whole lot of handout I seem to do that professor. I have to just show I have to stand on that face that hardly ever do you see a red make that effort That's a general... It is. Well, you know, I'll tell you what, when you're looking at... It only took me a few minutes. I was so wrapped up in what I had going on, you know, man, I gotta be... Get back to Kami eye, I gotta do this and be back on the road. You know, all this. And I just kept standing there looking at these two guys. They had a dog, you know, like a blue chipped hound with them or something. And, uh... You know, I just... You know, these guys are really at the bottom. And I feel like I'm at the bottom, but you know, I'm not at the bottom like they are I'm not sitting in the gas station out of gas Yeah, and then I got the thinking well if they spend too much time, you know panhandling around here, you know, the cops are gonna come and Harass them, you know, there's more in the wake for them if they you know And all they were trying to do is get you know, this town wherever they're going So, you know, like I say even when the when you think things are bad for you somebody has it worse Yeah, you're right. It's just, uh, either. Right, exactly. You know, I guess was a... One of the things about that, that's the devaluation of the motor. But you know, think about this, you guys. Almost everybody's driving it, which hasn't been safe for even the Americans like cars. They like horsepower. The other thing is survive little puddle jumpers, you guys. They fold up like tankers. We're suffering from the muscle car years, you know. Oh, even the 501-inch Cadillac. No, think about it, you guys. Cadillac... and GM but that 500 inch Cadillac motor you guys, 12 gallon on the expressway. That wasn't a, hey, in 1972, I won that car with a bat and eye. It didn't bother him at all. 12 miles to the gallon. Just the eco freak thing, something that most people send a whole bunch of that water, hardly any water and any glass. The other thing is, we haven't, our wage hasn't even kept up, hold the ability to purchase a gallon of gas without blinking an eye. Think about it, when you were making $2.80 or $3.40 and gas was 22 cents. You could buy the boat even at, well, $16 an hour. This was Guadalcanas. Really what? This was Guadalcanas. This isn't something that we have just... Our mind is as if it is Google. Everything will... But with that in mind, those two guys suffering in the gas station, the people, the powers that they choose to continue to drive us, America will be as Peru. to work us like this. One of the things, Don, when I was here at the hospital, I had, I think the guy, and I could be wrong, I didn't ask him, but he appeared to be Korean. One thing I appreciated about this man, he definitely knows his job. He'd only been there for two weeks, and he took me in a room somewhere, and we sat down and we talked, and I asked every he says, I asked any question that she wants. I just kept bombarding him with questions and I'm not a doctor. But one of the things I really appreciated was he didn't hold nothing back. He gave me what I needed to know, when I needed to know it, and how it was going to go, and what we could do, and what we couldn't do, and why we couldn't do it. Like I said, priorities kept changing and changing and changing. And I thought, man, has this ever come to an end? When are we going to reach the other side where we can start doing something to help her? Right now we're just trying to maintain, hang on to life. That's what it amounts to. I think before it was over, where she had four transfusions, oxygen bottles, all kinds of stuff. But mainly why I wanted to come on to here this morning is, folks, if you have experience, like I was saying, I've railed against the medical industry and I still probably will but maybe I'll be a little more defined as to what it is, you know, the pharmaceuticals and stuff. Before we could come home, for example, we had to buy because we didn't have any medical coverage or this kind of thing. Turn it off for me, face. I'll let you know when I'm on break. We had to buy a box of, I think it was 10 needles, you know, had blood thinner at $228. And we had to pay for it up and around, or else she would just, like I said, there's still things going on. So I have a lot of mixed views as to what, and, you know, how this medical industry I've talked to doctors that have moved out of the country because they weren't allowed to heal people. In this case here, it required an operation, no question, hands down. There is no way you could have treated it with anything except a scaffold. And that was it. If it hadn't been for this one doctor, they don't have a lot of liver doctors on hand. One guy like I said he absolutely knew his business. He didn't have to convince me of everything his demeanor his manner His intellect everything that he had going on for himself was definitely on the mark and I actually felt like he gave a damn You know unlike most doctors Wow, we're gonna throw some pills on you and give you a couple shots and you know, whatever Call me tomorrow. Yeah, call me tomorrow the things that we're facing here right now is You know, the same thing we've been facing all along, man. I've been pulled completely out the window, dragged down the road. And what I'm talking about is the micro effect. Tell you what, we do have to go to a break. Let's break here at the top of the hour. We'll come back, folks.
