Well, back at the time of the Pandemic, my mind was on my deteriorating health.   I had just been diagnosed as being fully diabetic, but had not yet started insulin.  I was seeing Dr Shaforo in Crookston at Riverside Clinic where my daughter, Jeana was working at the time.  I had been trying various dietary approaches to solving my problems and was not having much success,   I was on the Optavia diet but was becoming very much opposed to continuing, as I really was not happy with the fact some of their foods were using sugar.  I have been on a nearly life long battle with sugar and here I was now force feeding myself with that terrible stuff.  It did seem to be controlling my GERD for the first time in over fifty years.  I figure that was because I was eating no bread at all.  It was about that time I discovered I could make a difference with the type of bread I used, and I got started eating nothing but Rye and seeded Rye.   That has always been a puzzle to me, since they both contain Gliadin and they both contain Gluten, so I could definitely perceive my problem was not that I am gluten intolerant as so many others are.

 

Well, then I stumbled upon Omeprazole and guess what?  My GERD problems were forever solved.  Only problem being it is an over the counter drug and the Insurance companies balk at paying for it.  Then my Pharmacist suggested I ask my Doctor to put me on Pentaprazole, which should do the same thing but it is not over the counter so the insurance should cover it.  By this time I had quit going all the way into Crookston to see Dr Shaforo and was back with my old Dr Muller in Bemidji.  I went sort of nuts when I got my Gerd under control and started eating whatever I wanted and I was shedding the pounds, to boot.  Turned out that was because I was in full blown Ketone Acidosis and my body was eating myself up.  My A1C jumped to 14.5 and Dr Muller put me on Insulin,  Only 20 units to begin with but now I am up to 30 units/day.  Long story short,  I am done trying to be smarter than the doctors.  From now on I am taking the drugs they prescribe, and try my best to eat mostly protein and skip the carbs as much as I can.  My  weight is still hovering right around 240-245, about where I had gotten down to from 280 where I had been prior to all this blowing up on me.  I am 81 now and just trying to live my life out 1 day at a time.

 

 I have noticed that a lot of the links I had on some of the old BLOGs pointed to my old website at NorthupFamily.com.  That website has been down now since September of 2024 because my sister's credit card expired and it did not get paid.  I am in the process now of attempting to recover that website.  It has been quite a process, since the email account linked to the GoDaddy web hosting was my old Yahoo e-mail going all the way back to 1985.  I have not been able to get in there for many years now, as that account is linked to an expired Phone number and that is the only way they will send you any info.  They also have my northupfamily email on file, which of course is also inactive.  It is all very frustrating.  They had me fill out a form where I needed to submit an official ID and of course the only ID I have is my Driver's License and since I have not been driving for a fe years, that is also expired.  I do not know yet whether or not they will accept an expired Driver's License. 

 This morning I am going to introduce you to how to imbed Hyperlinks in Blogger.   Like yesterday I posted an unreadable post about our Binary Star System,  and I talked about how Walter Cruttenden tells you all about it in "The Lost Star of Myth and Time".   So today I am going to tell you how I SHOULD have done it Yesterday.   So I want that part in quotation marks to be what is in the Hyperlink.  So first I go to the site I want to link to, in this case, Walter's video presentation on YouTube, (not the book itself).  I bring it up and copy the URL to my clipboard.  Then I highlight those words in the quotation marks, (select them) then look for the chain link in the tool bar at the top.  Click that and it will give you an option to paste in your URL.  Do that and the required link will be established but your words will remain there to function as the link.  So now you should be able to go to Walter Cruttenden's video from this BLOG.  Now you know how to create your own BLOG and imbed a link.  Let's get you started.

Binary Star system

 

This is going to open a real can of worms.   Most people will dismiss this outright without really reading it at all.  I urge you to start out by listening to what Walter Cruttenden has to say about the subject on "Lost star of Myth and Time". https://www.amazon.com/Lost-Star-Myth-Walter-Cruttenden/dp/0976763117

 

The gist of the presentation is that we are in a binary orbit around the Sirius star system, which is itself three or maybe four stars.  The Dogon tribe of West Africa knew about this Sirius system and claims they were taught by them when they came to Earth when Sirius was "in close" .  This happens anywhere from 24000 to 25800 years, which coincides with the precession of the equinoxes, and that is not caused by a Wobble on our axis as mainline science would have you believe.  The reason the number of years is not known precisely is because when you are at Apogee you would be traveling quite a little slower than you would be at Perigee.  As everyone knows, we are just at "the dawning of the age of Aquarius". That point in the orbit would be, just coming out of Apogee.  When Walter Cruttenden gets to the part about the Great Year, you will see that means we are just entering Bronze Age and have just left Iron Age.  We need to progress through the Silver Age before we can enter the Golden Age which would be as we get in close and speed up our rotation dramatically.  At that point in our orbit, we would have two suns, something also talked about in Egypt, and they also knew there was something special about Sirius.  As a matter of fact, although Sirius would never get nearly as close to us as our own sun and in fact would be far out beyond the Kuiper belt, it would appear in our sky as being much bigger than our own sun since it is so very large.  It is known Sirius is getting closer, by the Blue shift and it is also not so well known that in history, many thousands of years ago, Sirius was a Red star, which means it was getting further away.

 

There is somethhing about the combined effect of two suns, probably having to do with the increased electromagnetic spectrum that cause us to have everything much better and in fact, it is my belief we were able to communicate telepathically during the Golden Age.  The Tower of Babel event was probably not actually a confounding of the language but rather a creation of language, which meant various languages all over the World and we could no longer communicate with each other.

 

I guess I will let this go at that for now.  I may return to the subject in the future and discuss it in more depth, but I really have nothing to say that deviates much from what Walter Cruttenden says in his book.

 

Mostly I am posting this BLOG to give you some sort of an idea what you are in for if you follow this BLOG from day to day.  My goal is to get to where I am posting something every single morning. 

 So, this is my first BLOG since 2022 during the Pandemic.  Mostly I am about done with all the crap that ends up on Facebook, and I am attempting to get some sort of alternative going.  Originally, this was intended to be a place where family members could share their views on various things but that it would all show up here.  Sort of an alternative to the Social Media platforms you see out there.  What I found out was that instead of family members posting on my Family Blog, they simply created their own.  That meant, pretty soon you were all over the place trying to track all these various blogs.  It was a lot of fun anyway, but it soon died, for some reason.   SO now what I am specifically interested in is for people to read what I have posted, and under "Comments". I hope to get some idea of what others would like to see here.   If you feel driven to post your own Blog on this site.  There is a link provided in the top bar where you can do that.  Give it a try and give me some feedback on what you would like to see in the future.  I will be posting daily on Facebook, just as a way to promote the BLOG to a wider audience.
