Toilet Deaths, what a way to go!
Parting shot, I have to go, I may be in love, too early to tell yet I guess. And this site is sooooo addictive, compulsive even, so I'm off for a while, to work and talk to my new (potential) love, who is not on this site. And for those who bemoan the apparent fact that there is no one in their area. New girl is four thousand miles away from me and doesn't even speak the same language. She found me, I wasn't even looking in her direction.So Toilet death. Somebody should have told Elvis about this!
Although it doesn't get much press (for obvious reasons), a disproportionately high number of people (usually older men who are in high risk categories for heart disease) die on the toilet. This is at least partly due to problems some older men have with constipation. Although this causes them to generally spend longer on the toilet, that's not the problem. The problem is that people in this situation tend to "push" harder and longer than they should in what is effectively Valsalva's manoeuvre. This added pressure on the intestines and colon corresponds to an added pressure in the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The vena cava, (major veins leading back to the heart) are normally "held open" by the "negative pressure" (lower than atmospheric... the same reason a hole in the chest wall can kill you so quickly). When the pressure increases it pinches the vena cava closed and the blood can no longer go back to the heart. Consequently, the barroreceptors which measure blood pressure on the arterial side of the heart, notice a drop in pressure (due to the fact that blood is no longer being pumped) and so they trigger a "sympathetic response" that causes blood pressure to spike. The combination of blood pressure spiking (which can lead to stroke or other problems) and lack of blood being pumped to the heart (which starves the heart for oxygen and eventually can trigger a heart attack and/or heart failure).
The rule is don't push, Cough! Not because the toilet door lock is broken but because it has the same expulsion effect without the risk of killing ones-self.
Bye for now kids, be good while I'm gone and no bickering.

You have a good day,
I knew they were right for each other both deeply in love she has her own business her own money would be nice if I could set myself up as good as I am at setting other people up.
M4, I agree. Green tea is healthiest.
Gypsy, thank you, and yes I will remember.
Sweetie, thank you for your comments, we never really met did we, but yes, have hope. Dearest Mercedes, yes I would have knocked on your door for sure, but I didn't fit your requirements and people, you know how this works. Place your order, one minute twenty-five seconds at least of repeating over and over exactly what you want, be specific. Prepare your request in advance Then imagine having that thing which you ordered. Be thankful for it and say so out loud. If it's a guy, imagine being with him, feeling the warmth of his love surround you, feel his hand in yours as you walk, his arms around your waist as you cook, his hand on your thigh as you drive, feel him next to you as you fall asleep and as you wake, know the scent of his skin, know he is coming to you, make room in your life for him and your garage for his car. Think of being with him every second of every day and he will come. Remember also, he will not be exactly what you wanted, but he will be what you need. Also remember this can take time, I have been two years getting to this point, but as I said elsewhere, I didn't realise I wasn't ready for her. Need more info on the law of attraction look up Deepak Chopra or Esther Hicks on you tube.
