Visiting the Doctor
I used to hate going to see the doctor when I was a kid. There were two doctors; they were a married Irish couple and their surgery was a big red brick house, which they lived in. The entrance led into a dingy corridor with a door at the end of it that had a small hatch just big enough for the receptionist’s whole face to be visible. Off to the right was a small waiting room with a dozen or so bright red chairs placed around the wall, in a square.
Above the waiting room door were two red lights, one for each doctor. A button on each of the doctors' desks would activate their individual light and also sound a very loud buzzer, thus summoning in the next patient. You would have to try to memorise all the people who were there before you in order to know when it was your turn. They did upgrade to a system based on numbered lollipop sticks but it was no better as you had no idea what number anyone else had. The waiting room would be completely silent except for an occasional muffled cough from someone desperately trying to suppress it. If people absolutely had to communicate they would do it in a whisper, one decibel higher than miming. I don’t know what it was about waiting rooms in those days that made people terrified of making noise.
Both doctors smoked like chimneys and there was always a smouldering fag in an overflowing ashtray on the desk when you finally got into the consulting room. No matter what ailment you went in with, its diagnosis always required a stethoscope being placed on your chest and back, followed by a brief jotting down of notes. The remedy always seemed to be a bottle of thick, pink, syrupy medicine, which, although very sweet, left a very bitter taste in the mouth.
Going to the doctors is a much more pleasant experience these days, with bright, airy waiting rooms and patients happily chatting away to one another while waiting for their names to be called out. You do have to make an appointment to see a doctor now though, rather than just turn up as and when you feel ill; contrary to what one would expect, that practice only seems to considerably increase the waiting time. I suppose that’s the price of progress; having people just turning up unexpectedly is a very old fashioned way of doing things and, after all, it’s no more than common courtesy to let them know two weeks in advance of when you intend to be sick.

What is it with some people
As some of you people on the blogs know, I happen to have MS. Had it now 15 yrs, docters figure its not progressing,
But I do have to use a cane to walk, and have my good days, and bad day,but overall, doing not to bad, still fairly active, surviving,
What irks
me is, once people hear the word MS, they either figure I m a total idiot, or deaf,
I used enjoy taking a girl out for coffee, or a nice meal , now a lot of the women I know couldn t be bothered to say hello,
And I ve noticed a good number of friends tend to keep their distance, must be thinking I going to be asking them for some help or assistance with something, Ha Ha on them, I usually the one offering my assistance to people. I m probably more active than a lot of people who don t have ms,
Having a disability has been a learning experience, its taught me who my friends are, and its forced me to slow down, and appreciate life more. But the way a lot of people treat me (with a disability) sure boggles the mind,

Apparently, just before the World ends, we are all going to get sucked off. Stringman kept quiet about that.
The Virus....what I heard
A friend of mine came back from his chiropractor and he informed my friend that this virus is interesting. My friend told me, he was not sure using the word mutate was correct...but he explained it this way to me. He said, according to his doctor, if he got the virus and gave it to me, I would have a different virus than him.
I have just heard tonight on tv....not only can you get the virus more than once, but the second time around it is more vicious than the first time. That would make sense if my friend was told correct by his chiropractor.
It sounds like this virus is like a moving target...if everything I had been told is correct.
It sounds like a vaccine is essential with this....otherwise, is there a way of stopping it without everyone being effected by it?
...sounds serious....and something to be treated as such...
be safe all
Hopefully I have heard wrong...and drew the wrong conclusions.

Profile pictures
Why so many people on here look so old in their profile pictures? Looks to me that they are lying about the age, but whats the point? Who goes for numbers rather than looks?
just come across a photo of a 50 year old guy, looks like he's grand grand pa already and if he was wealthy I would definitely marry him for his money and become rich in couple of days!

Nature in Your Life and Better Health
Is more nature in your life the secret to better overall health?
Do you have nature deficiency disorder? Increasingly, we have become an indoor society as well as one that is glued to a screen of some sort (ie: hand held devices, tablets, laptops, etc.). Nature is the outdoor environment that includes close association with trees, plants, open air and sunshine. It doesn’t have to be in the wilderness and can include time spent in a park, a local trail or conservation area. Gardening outdoors is another simple way to be in nature, even if you live in a big city. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that there are significant health benefits from simply being in nature.
Health Benefits:
1. Being outdoors means more opportunity for the sun to stimulate vitamin D production in your skin. Simply put, more nature means more vitamin D in your body. On it’s own, vitamin D can benefit cognition, mood, immune functions and bone health.
2. Nature speeds healing. A study that looked at recovery after gallbladder removal surgery compared two groups: those with a room with a window view of a natural scene compared to those with the view of a brick wall. Those with a nature view had a shorter hospital stay, gave less negative comments and took fewer potent painkilling medications.
3. Nature has restorative effects on the mind and on your energy overall. Compare the typical urban environment where there are many things that demand your attention: the cars driving by, constant and varying noises, many lights and other stimuli. However, in nature, it’s a different kind of busy: sounds of the wind in the trees or of a nearby stream or brook or birds chirping. Nature provides more interesting ways to observe and engage as opposed to the sudden and dramatic stimuli in the city environment. Studies on mental benefits of nature walks have shown that they can restore and improve cognitive functions and performance.
4. More calories burned. Exercise done outdoors burns more calories when compared to the same amount of time and exercise performed indoors.
5. There are social health benefits with access to nature. A Chicago study found that there is a significant decrease in crime rates, violence and aggression when urban areas are surrounded by green space compared to other urban areas with limited greenery. Think about how you can green your space, even if it is just indoor plants and indoor gardening…and watch your mind bloom!
6. The Journal of Health Psychology published a study that looked at how the body recuperated after a stressful experience. The researchers found that 30 minutes of gardening after a stressful experience reduced the level of stress hormone (cortisol) much more effectively than reading a book indoors. It also found that gardening led to a significantly more positive mood.
7. Nature can also invoke deeper feelings of connectedness and inspiration. Imagine the power and awe of witnessing a waterfall, or an expansive mountain scene or of a flowering meadow. Studies have found improved aspects of spiritual well-being such as an improved sense of purpose, connectedness and faith in a larger reality.

Living longer
I have to do fairly intensive physicals before I can go abroad for work and had one this week. The doctor was new, and fairly young, and frowned a bit over the results.
'Am I okay?" I asked. She nodded and I asked jokingly 'will I live to see 80?'
She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Strictest moderation. And no recreational drugs at all, before you ask.'
'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'
'Not much' I said, 'my last doctor said to cut right down.'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said a little wistfully
She looked at me sternly. 'Then why do you even give a shit?'

Covid Vaccine is 'Creating Variants'
The Luegenmedia is following the CCP Party Line that the epidemic will be resurging with a Delta Variant.
Of course they knew there would be complications from the Jab. This Nobel Prize winner tells us why:
While it is understood that viruses mutate, causing variants, French Virologist and Nobel Prize Winner Luc Montagnier contends that “it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”
...
Vaccines are Creating the Variants
Prof. Montagnier referred to the vaccine program for the coronavirus as an “unacceptable mistake”. Mass vaccinations are a “scientific error as well as a medical error,” he said. “It is an unacceptable mistake. The history books will show that, because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants,” Prof. Luc Montagnier continued.
The prominent virologist explained that “there are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die. This is where the variants are created. It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.”
Antibody-Dependent Enhancement
Prof. Montagnier said that epidemiologists know but are “silent” about the phenomenon, known as “Antibody-Dependent Enhancement” (ADE). In the articles that mention ADE, the concerns expressed by Prof. Montagnier are dismissed. “Scientists say that ADE is pretty much a non-issue with COVID-19 vaccines,” an article at Medpage Today reported in March.
