Horny Goat Weed

With my issues, and needing vitamins to keep going (A probiotic, and while I went there, I was thinking of what supplements my diet, not...yeah. I still get easily embarrassed. I'll pretend I didn't almost mention poo and move along.Shit happens, as they say. ) I find myself in health food stores here and there. There's the basics... the "Migraine Vitamin" of choice, Riboflavin, Magnesium and Feverfew, the probiotic, a multi vitamin, Vitamin D, melatonin... these along with scripts. I'm a lifetime hater of Big Pharma, but I sure do fill their coffers too :-( (This could go on and on.) are expensive as all hell everywhere, but there's something special about a health-food store as opposed to the vitamin aisle at Target. Of course I had to ask the hippish clerks about something... and managed to not stutter or blush my way through asking (Where was my shame? I think I was desperate after my drowning scare during the last episode.) about horny goat weed. If you need a chuckle, stop right now, and say it loudly, (People tell me I have a slight Southern accent that comes out here and there, and it really gets apparent when I say "Horny Goat Weed". Odd, but I guess a WNY-er has a malleable accent and we'll catch intonations.) "Horny. Goat. Weed." (I notice that some of my stats come from naughty sites where apparently they're in search of bubble butts and pigtails. This post won't help at all, and whatever floats your boat, man, but yeesh. I don't think a rubber duck is meant to be used that way.) Automatic giggle. A rather sweet old woman next to me couldn't help it either.
"That's for arousal," said the boy clerk.
I refused to dignify that with a response. No I didn't. I went where angels refuse to tread. "Well, yes. I've heard it can be good for migraines, do you know anything about that?"
"Well, maybe if you have PMS."
That's right. I discussed arousal, migraines, and PMS with a 22 year old man today. For my next trick...

Been working on calming. While burning sage is great if you wish to cleanse and rid yourself of whatever, it's a tad bit overwhelming. I find three drops of sage oil in a spray bottle of water helps a lot. Clearing the air. Let nature do what nature does best, take care of her own.

  2. That's apparently the legend behind it. Like the one about coffee beans making goats dance- apparently they're a rather dance-prone animal- the legends I've heard went: "Farmer sees goats go after herb. Farmer sees goats get frisky after eating said herb".
