Be Aware of Oysters and Live For Hope

Give me Gulf oysters any day of the week and I'll give you the world. Okay, so maybe that's just insane enough that it doesn't make sense. Hey, I never said I was a normal writer. Yet, as insane as my writing may be, sometimes I wonder if beoysterware.com is even more insane than I am.

Why, you may ask? Well... beoysteraware.com has just asked me to talk about what I might enjoy finding inside of an oyster vs. a pearl. Hmm. Okay, so maybe I am not a huge fan of pearls, so it's a rather interesting thought. A thought that however, can be easily answered by me. The answer is simple. Hope. Hope for this world and those who choose to be a part of it. Hope for those who are hated upon because of appearance. Hope for those who have been abused in this life. Hope for those who cannot see beyond a color. Hope that everyone can simply, just get along.

Maybe what I would enjoy finding in a pearl is not very realistic, but then again, neither is something as simple as a carrot.

If you have a passion for oysters like me, you may be interested in visiting beoysterware.com. There you will find information on oysters, the disease Vibrio Vulnificus and how it can affect your health if oysters are not cooked properly. Please be aware of your health. After all, you only have on life to live.

Osyter Awareness. Get the Facts.

Have you ever felt like the joke's on you? Well, I bet this mom-to-be Oyster did. Enjoy!

A father-to-be anxiously awaits the birth of his first child, but to his shock his wife gives birth to a baby crab. Quickly his wife looks up at him and says, "I'm sorry. I meant to tell you." To which he angrily replies, "You've been down at that crab shack eating crabs without me, again haven't you?"


If you're like me and love raw oysters, you may not even be thinking about the serious dangers of eating them raw. Oysters like, Gulf oysters can be very dangerous for some people. They can carry Vibrio vulnificus, a disease that can cause serious illness in some people.

An easy way to avoid the disease is by making sure you eat cooked oysters rather than raw ones. If you're like me however, eating cooked verses raw is easier said than done. So if this is the case, please at least educate yourself through Be Oyster Aware's website and get the real facts about consuming raw oysters. It could save your life.
