Disgruntled Military Retirees Fight for Commissary | Socyberty

Disgruntled Military Retirees Fight for Commissary | Socyberty



Military retirees fight for their perks, as well they should. They served the country in peace and war. Promises were made and those promises should be kept. We owe our military. A grocery discount is little enough reward for their years in the service of the country. North Georgia has thousands of military retirees and they didn’t intend for their commissary to be closed.

Dangerous Hospitals Infections | Healthmad

Dangerous Hospitals Infections | Healthmad


You can pick up dangerous infections in the hospital. We don’t know how many occur or how many patients die from them because hospitals are not required to report infections patients contact in hospitals. Twenty eight states do require some kind of reporting but Georgia is not one of them. The health care lobby did not approve public reporting when it was considered in 2005.

The Sixth Sense | Socyberty

The Sixth Sense | Socyberty


Do we have a sixth sense? Generally speaking, scientists say we do not, but it’s only recently they have begun to study the five known senses, and some scientists say there is evidence of a sixth sense. Might we one day discover there are mental powers such as ESP and mind reading? It’s a possibility. Much has been discovered that was unknown less than 50 years ago. Nobody can foretell what the future holds, unless there is really a sixth sense.

Human Body Host for Bugs? | Scienceray

Human Body Host for Bugs? | Scienceray/


The human body relies on bugs for health and life. Without the microbes the human body plays host to, there would be no human life. Scientists tell us we are 90% bugs and 10% human. The number of microbes our lives depend are staggering. Maybe it would be more appropriate to label ourselves as a "human-microbe hybrid".

Protect Your Teeth From Decay | Quazen



Protect your teeth from decay by brushing and flossing at least twice a day. If at all possible, brush after lunch, if it isn’t possible, rinse your mouth well with water. Eat and drink non sugary foods, and see your dentist once a year for a check up and cleaning. If you have a toothache, don’t use any over the counter pain reliever that goes directly on the tooth. See your dentist instead.

Nataqua The State That Wasn’t | Trifter

Nataqua The State That Wasn’t | Trifter


Isaac Roop was the first settler in the Honey Lake Valley, east of California. It was good cattle country and looked to be a good place to attract other ranchers. Settlers came at the urging of Roop and soon the community of Susanville was Nataqua’s busiest center. California took notice and claimed the territory was theirs, then Native Americans put in their own claim, and Nataqua became the state that never was.

Stress Effects Your Brain and Body | Healthmad

Stress Effects Your Brain and Body | Healthmad


Stress increases the body’s supply of cortisol and that isn’t good, unless we are fighting a bear or in some other danger. A daily high of cortisol can cause increased inflammation, nerve damage, bad cholesterol, sugar cravings, allergies, high blood pressure, chronic disease, pain, and other bodily harm. The answer is to control your stress, which isn’t easy to do. With practice, you can bring stress under better control. Meditation has proven over the centuries to bring peace and calm into stressful lives.
