"Hooked On You" Lyrics by Steve Raines (@Unlikely Buddha)

Image
In the variations of  C G Am F (Verse 1) You're a mystery,  a puzzle to be solved, Your beauty's like a treasure  to be found. I'm drawn to you  like moth to flame, Can't help but fall for you,  my heart's  been bound. (Chorus) Oh, mysterious woman,  I'm hooked on you, Like a song that's always playing,  I can't get you out of my head. Oh, mysterious woman,  I'm entranced by you. Like a dream  that I can't wake up from,  I'm lost in your bed. (Verse 2) Your eyes are like  a deep blue sea, Your lips are like  a ripe red berry. I long to taste  your sweet embrace, To explore  your secrets,  hidden face. (Chorus) Oh, mysterious woman,  I'm hooked on you, Like a song that's always playing,  I can't get you  out of my head. Oh, mysterious woman,  I'm hooked on you. Like a dream  that I can't wake up from,  I'm lost in your bed. (Bridge) I don't know your name,  I don't know your...

The Romano lithium mine, proposed for Montalegre, in Portugal has obtained permission from the Portuguese government

Image
The Romano lithium mine, proposed for Montalegre, in Portugal's northern district of Vila Real, has obtained a favourable conditional Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) from the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) in February 2023.  The site is part of the Barroso Transboundary Biosphere Reserve, which is a UNESCO-designated area that spans the border between Portugal and Spain. The northern Montalegre area is a rural region with a population of around 10,000 people. The main economic activities in the area are agriculture and forestry. The region is known for its high-quality agricultural products, including beef, pork, and cheese. The potential impacts of open lithium mining on the northern Montalegre area include: Water consumption: Lithium mining requires large amounts of water, which could put a strain on local water resources. Water pollution: Lithium mining can produce wastewater that contains pollutants, such as heavy metals and lithium salts. If this wastewater is not pr...

What the Talmud, Koran, and Bible tell us about seeking justice, dealing with adversity, and getting along

Image
The Talmud, the Koran, and the Bible are three of the most important religious texts in the world, and they all have a lot to say about seeking justice, dealing with adversity, and getting along. In the Talmud, we find the following teaching: "Justice is the foundation of the world." This teaching emphasizes the importance of justice in all aspects of life, from the personal to the societal. The Talmud also teaches that we should always strive to help those in need, and to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult. The Koran also teaches the importance of justice. In the Koran, we find the following verse: "And when you judge between people, judge with justice." This verse teaches us that we should always be fair and impartial when making judgments. The Koran also teaches that we should be merciful and compassionate, and that we should forgive those who have wronged us. The Bible also teaches the importance of justice. In the Bible, we find the following...

Stuck On You

Image
Lately I've noticed my world's upside down And everything's coming unglued Like crossing the dateline I'm all turned round And just don't know what to do All day long I keep neglecting Things I have to do That people are expecting What does it matter How can I work feeling blue I'm stuck on you Can't read the news That's too depressing I know this world's a mess 'Cause all my clothes need pressing Everything's scattered Baby I'm stuck on you Deeper and deeper I go Spinning around like a fool Drowning in love's undertow And there's nothing that I can do Night after night I'm convalescing I used to have a social life But now it's not worth mentioning Just a bit tattered Baby I'm stuck on you Only the stars in the sky Know why I'm feeling so blue Maybe the moon has advice That can get you to love me too The city lights peer through my curtain And so I'll face another night Of counting sheep for certain Tossing and...

The United Nations has NEVER achieved a lasting peace in any region of the world.

Image
The U.N. has been in existence for 78 years, as of today, October 18, 2023. The U.N. is funded by its member states. The amount each country pays is determined by a complex formula that takes into account the country's economic wealth and population. The total U.N. budget for 2023 is $3.4 billion. The lion share comes from the U.S. The United Nations has NEVER achieved a lasting peace in any region of the world. The UN has been involved in a number of peacekeeping operations around the world, and these operations have resulted in the deaths of UN peacekeepers and civilians.  For example, in 1994, over 800,000 people were killed in the Rwandan genocide, and the UN peacekeeping force failed to prevent the massacre. Even in cases where the UN has been successful in ending conflicts and promoting peace, there has often been a loss of innocent lives.  For example, the UN helped to end the civil war in Cambodia in the 1990s, but over 2 million people had already been killed in ...

There is a growing body of evidence to support the link between devices and myopia in children

Image
Myopia on the rise: The link between devices and eye strain in children Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common eye condition that makes it difficult to see distant objects clearly. Myopia is becoming increasingly common, especially in children. Studies show that the prevalence of myopia has doubled in the past 50 years, and it is now estimated to affect over 2 billion people worldwide. There are a number of factors that contribute to the development of myopia, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle. However, research suggests that the increased use of digital devices is a major risk factor for myopia in children. When we look at a screen, our eyes have to focus on a close object for a long period of time. This can cause eye strain and lead to changes in the shape of the eyeball. Over time, these changes can lead to myopia. There is a growing body of evidence to support the link between devices and myopia in children. For example, a recent study found that children who spend mo...

In recent ads Pete Davidson promotes Smartwater Alkaline However, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that alkaline water is better for your health and energy than regular drinking water.

Image
Alkaline water has a higher pH level than regular water, but your body is very good at regulating its own pH levels. Even if you drink alkaline water, your stomach acid will quickly neutralize it to a pH of around 2.0. Some people claim that alkaline water can help to improve digestion, reduce bone loss, and even prevent diseases such as cancer and heart disease. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. In fact, drinking too much alkaline water can actually be harmful, as it can upset the balance of your body's natural pH levels. The Mayo Clinic states that "for most people, alkaline water is not better than plain water." They also note that "bottled water sold as alkaline water, which is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, might have nutrients added to it to achieve an alkaline pH." If you are looking for a way to improve your health and energy, it is better to focus on eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and getting enoug...
