ARE ALL GOOD DEEDS SELFISH?
Yes, they are. If you help someone through a charitable act, such as giving a poor person money or buying them food, you would normally feel good from performing those kind of acts. The only reason you make those gestures is to satisfy your own mental needs and increase your well being.
Of course the person receiving the act of kindness would also benefit, but if there was no mental reward yourself, would you still have performed the act of kindness?

Rudy's stents...
About a month ago Rudy Giuliani claimed he was attacked while campaigning for his son inside a ShopRite store.
Security video revealed it was a tap on the back and nothing in comparison to what Rudy stated to the police and continued to support in some social media and video chats.
About a week later someone who was supporting Rudy as to the extent of his injury and stated he needed to undergo surgery to have a stent procedure.
I've heard nothing since.
That sounds like a trumped up B.S. story and I'm curious if anyone has heard more about Rudy and stents.
The only 'injury' he sustained was being called a scumbag!

Long story short: My cholesterol is too high, which means I will have to change my diet, as I suspected. That means limit my intake of sugar, cut down on the fat and generally be a healthier person. Maybe get rid of some of my weight will help as well.
So what now? Well.. Now I will have to revisit what I eat. Luckily I have a brand new cook book, which contains a LOT of healthy food, so I'm gonna have a look in that. I want to make food that is both filling and tasty, which hopefully will be easy to make. Cooking in general is pretty easy, if you know what you are doing.. Anyway..
Lower my cholesterol is my immediate goal, and I will do whatever it takes to get it done!

Crazy
Is it better to be born a bit ?? crazy .because when you do go crazy .People won't notice it some much ..
I asked for a separation, she wasn't happy about it...
30+ years in the woodworking business has always affected my asthma that started in my early childhood. A few years ago I was working at one place that did bathroom renovations. The office and warehouse shared the same air conditioning system and the materials used in the products was really making me sick. The Abuterol inhaler that I've used for years was no longer keeping my lungs clear. I had to see a specialist. Monthly visits to a pulmonologist who had me on a steroid based inhaler that was working at a cost of over $300 a month.
He said my health is in jeopardy and I should consider changing jobs. He was right. I did and my health improved, but I have some sensitivity issues now that my lungs were damaged.
Changing health care providers last year got me a different pulmonologist and a different steroid based respirator was prescribed. It worked great but I was gradually gaining weight.
This is the year of -ologists and the cardiologist said, lose some weight, exercise more and reduce my cholesterol.
The byproduct of that is I weaned off the steroid inhaler and used less Abuterol too!
I went from sitting at a computer for hours and hours to walking as much as a mile every day.
Yesterday was the recall to see the pulmonologist. Actually, I don't see 'him' any more, it's the physician assistant (PA) who I've been seeing and she asks more questions, documents our meetings and appears to have more knowledge to recent respiratory products.
Everything was good. Clear lungs, no need for steroids, Abuterol once or twice every other day. Basically, I want to be signed off with the pulmonologist... in my mind, it's don't call me I'll call you.
She want's to see me in 3 months. I suggested 6 months. She almost became teary eyed and said 4 months as it's important to be checked on a regular basis.
I can always cancel and not reschedule.

Isolated sleep paralysis......
Are you actually awake during sleep paralysis?

Who is most likely affected by sleep paralysis?
Who Develops Sleep Paralysis? Up to as many as four out of every 10 people may have sleep paralysis. This common condition is often first noticed in the teen years. But men and women of any age can have it.

Auto-brewery syndrome.....
How common is auto-brewery syndrome?
Because auto-brewery syndrome is so rare, it's diagnosis is frequently just as unusual. People often only become aware of the condition after failing a breathalyzer test. In other instances, people may seek help from a doctor for symptoms commonly associated intoxication, even though they have not been drinking.
Can alcoholics get auto-brewery syndrome?
It's sometimes called “drunkenness disease.” This rare condition makes you intoxicated — drunk — without drinking alcohol. This happens when your body turns sugary and starchy foods (carbohydrates) into alcohol. Auto brewery syndrome can be difficult to diagnose. It may also be mistaken for other conditions.
Medication. Doctors can treat auto-brewery syndrome with antifungals and, in some cases, antibiotics. Antifungals can help reduce the amount of fungus in the gut. Doctors also use these drugs to treat fungal infections that cause gastrointestinal symptoms.
Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS), also called Gut Fermentation Syndrome, is a rare, underdiagnosed medical condition. This is caused by fermentation of ingested carbohydrate by gut fungi resulting in endogenous production of ethanol.

81mg aspirin daily...
As a followup to my heart scan/stress test this past Wednesday, my doctor suggests I continue walking, increasing the duration, go on a low cholesterol diet and to take 81 milligrams of aspirin daily. Added to that is a blood test a few weeks before I revisit in 6 months.
So... why the 81mg?
Like most other things in life, I'm thinking it could be arbitrary. Is 82mg too much for a skinny man and too little for a fat man? Someone had to figure that out enough to have drug manufacturers selling packages of 81mg aspirin.
I'm accustomed to taking 975mg if I have a pulled muscle or really bad headache. But that's only for a day or two at maximum.
81, you've got me thinking.
