		<description><![CDATA[FOOD 
   For diet medical advice on FOOD  you most consult your doctor as you may have issues .
  My thought on food selection is a BALANCED DIET   youcan not loose on that  one .
 

 The first month air it will be hard going .  don&#039;t falter ok !
 Serve food on smaller plates.   HOT gravy keeps food hot an improvers the taste.

  Add up all your food bills  for the year divide by 12  and  there is your limit.

  this exercise is a nickel and dime game take cell phone pictures of all the shelf prices you purchase

 Only drive the car whe absolulye nessesary
 check the news paper for bargains

 You must maintain a food shopping list to be effective . .

 You need to have your daughter with you and you know why ! as her turn will come one day
 she will need  many lsssons in nutrission .
 Never ever have one person in the kitchen for safety reasons  fat  fire !!!!???!!!!
 Always make a 7 day menu plan  extra cooking goes in the fridge w only when cooled .  you can tun that thing down a little.
 keep the kids away fro the fridge
 run the gas stove top at 3/4 &#039;  Tuesday //. Thursday ::* Sunday // Friday ::Monday Wednesday //   ((*Sunday))
 no sence cuting ttin back on the sweet stuff   as every thing is sweet now you know why you have a sugar tax  you go the rip !
Go shopping on a discount day. pack your own to save the tip inflatiom hurts every body.
not sure if bulk buying helps with small families unless you sop for the neighbors an  other relatives.  pricin use the cell phone calculator

 do not take  food prices  out on the food store manager  he/ she does no control prices as they are in his game plan  also .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[STATISTICS. 1.1% .
 I have been baggering  Joe Bloggs on a regular basis on that mis alignment of the statistical numbers not wanting to humiliate him  he is still my hero. 
 I think he is a Liverpool  Suporter  my old man from Manchester . every body came here  from Old  Blighty .

 Who ever the big shot of the  numbers service  statistics  who call the shots on the numbers. to the first decimal place how cool is that .
   I alway look at  what complaints either it is prices ot tooth ache  i hear  it from people about profiteering . 

  Just ask the home makers .

  Do not mess with petty coat Government or the kitchen  Cabinet .

  When get home from the food store first question i ask my wife how much did we spend .
  Can you imagin what  a struggle the women  have with the prices .dont ask .

  THE NUMBERS GAME    ~~~~~   two little piggies went market one came home. 
 That last one bunch of numbers  was a elecrion pot  shot , the latest new one  an astounding 1.1% that was  pre WW11 days before rasioning and no shoes .

    I worked along time ago in a bank with   only one adding machine on the floor for 16 of us.
 we did it all  the numbers  in own head ,  and very accurately and faster . If you don&#039;t mind  !
 eg 
 10+9   = 19 so is 10+10 = 20 -1 = 19

  A cool learnind device  :::::: When I was in junior school we had a stick hanging on the wall, guess what for,  it was a miracal worker  you were lucky if you got away with X3 for fighting .

  Counting votes easy  &quot;two for me one for them &quot;  your check is in the mail

  LIFE&#039;S FAILURES .
  There are ways to teach our children in schools to make  them all into a genius over night .
     The kids as  their  are sponges for knowledge  at their premium age give the computers and cell phones and turn them loose  .

 The problem  has   got to be the teachers  in hybernation .
   I took latin Romulus Maximus. 111  rd  what a waste . Do  Doctors speek  Latin?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WE NEED A STABLE BERMUDA.
   BERMUDA IS NO A TOURIST TRAP.

 Have you not caught on yet .  

  It would not  be realistic  for  the PLP to be  milleading the public astray that  would only hurt them selves .

 They know it ,as we do, we need a stable economy failing that contractual bidding  and price changes behind our backs  and behind theirs , all turns into turmoil , and  that serves no practical purpose or helps nobody.

 By the way any  well founded  party does not lie.
   It is usually one two or more people with in the party say for perspnal reasons asyou may do the  same  to keep your high paying job.

 We are getting that now from the potential incombents singing the song of our domestic problems .
 
  Do they not know what the bigger picture is  ? 

 We get little thing  from  little ideas !

 Who spins the spin and  who are all singing the same song.
&quot;   DING DINGY One little pot hole &quot;. &quot;  DING DINGY Two little pot holes &quot;.

 Those lot terrify me .  They are a bunch of disgrunted people,  wait till $ 3 billion + slapts them in the face  with a wake up call. 

 Why do they not have at least one COMMON GOAL.    M  O   N   E   Y.      Foreign exchange.

  Not one  incombent come  with a brillant idea or they are not telling keeping us  in the dark or dangeling  us on the end of a string .

  PRICES
   Prices went up  some time ago that is where the damage was done and so did wages for many people. but  not all,  got a piece of the pie  . 

While others were  just messing with the numbers .
 We recently just heard  the plp were subsidizing some people over the minimum wage  from  what we can only presume  from our tax money. 

 Got to teach them how to fish, if not they will take the easy way out  and  will be back for more .

 &quot;YOU CAN FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME ,BUT NOT ALL THE PEOPLE  ALL THE TiME &quot;.

 It does not appear  incombents appear to have  much business sence or  challenging business who get away with 10 % like they used to  do . JUST WAIT FOR THE SECOND RUSH ON YOUR MONEY .

 The lated trick is  increment price  changes  ( SEE THE GRAFF )  taking  that game over a  longer period of time by inicreasing  and decreasing   ( THE BOUNCING BALL ) products  and mostly services lately , that is to be expect from people trying to make ends meet .

 ( TRICKLE UP  EFFECT )  by small amounts of price increases same as befor but taking  a little longer.

  We sure have some smart  greedy business people in this island .

   Go a question for you all. 

WHAT  ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ?  we only  have tree days.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you spotted how the PLP are making workers poorer?

Look at the published in the article and copied to below, none of them are 1.1% or below. They are all increases above 1.1%, so even with the numbers presented we can not be at 1.1% higher, it has to be more.


The Rent division increased 2.0 per cent.
The Health &amp; Personal Care division increased 3.3 per cent.
The Food division increased 2.8 per cent.
The Education, Recreation, Entertainment &amp; Reading division increased 1.5 per cent.
The Household Goods, Services &amp; Supplies division rose 1.5 per cent.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More Lies. Inflation is around 3% to 5%.

Peoples pay increased to keep in line with inflation are linked to these statistics. Meaning the PLP are causing people to be poorer by not releasing true inflation numbers.

If your pay changes by 1.1% but costs of goods go up by 5% then you are 3.9% poorer because of these numbers.

Change the statical measure to reflect reality, am sick of the PLP making us workers poorer with their statistical lies.]]></description>
