Welcome to Nabeepchen.com, the best place on the web to find vital signs and real remedies for a full spectrum world. And who is the nabeepchen in charge of this website?

Well, that would be me. Here’s a quick rundown of my credentials. I am an escapee-at-large from the healthcare system. I have a strange affinity for natural disasters. Epidemics, hurricanes, volcanoes, earthquakes. I’ve lived through some of them, and am fascinated by the power of the natural world, despite the human attempt at reigning it in.

I’ve seen a little bit of the world, although much of the planet still remains unexplored. It is unfortunate that some of the more intriguing spots that I would like to visit are now caught up in what seems like continuous upheaval, and safety is a major consideration. But I made it to Shanghai before McDonald’s did, I’ve seen the sunrise over Mt. Everest (shivering with my teeth chattering), baked to a crisp on Luquillo Beach, watched the plaster on the walls of my hotel in Mexico City splinter as the ground rumbled beneath us in a massive earthquake, inhaled fragrant penguin guano down under (and I mean way down under, like Antarctic south), sipped Yerba Mate tea through a metal straw with my primos in Buenos Aires (and then caroused up Avenida Corrientes, packed with wall to wall people at 1am on a Wednesday night), and have been stared down by the meanest looking cow that I’ve ever bumped into, on an extremely narrow street in Varanasi, the holiest Hindu city in India. Cows are considered sacred in the Hindu religion, and here was this sacred bovine specimen, with horns that could have filleted me into ribbons, and we met eye to eye, nose to nose—and I graciously decided that he could have the right-of-way.

And for the final tidbit in my ever-evolving bio; I am a National Geographic groupie. My collection, of course, is pathetic by some standards. Pathetic from the point of view of the crème de la crème of NG collectors, who can boast 19th century issues and copies that don’t have Sale Table stamped on their front covers. The purists, who would laugh at my copies salvaged from the Corte Madera library at the princely sum of 5 for one dollar. Oh well. I have a complete set from 1926, and my oldest copy is from 1907. I’ve also got about 100 or so duplicate copies that are looking for a good home (hint, hint).

At the moment my comments are turned off, due to overwhelming spam. I’m still getting spam even with them off, and it is time consuming to have to deal with them. However, you can contact me at roxie3@mindspring.com. But if you’re a spammer, don’t bother.
