Last Commented Health Blogs (955)

UK slang. a rude way of telling someone to go away: "Can you lend me some money?" "On your bike, mate!"

Well to be honest I think this has been taken the wrong way by too many people for far too long...

Cycling in a great easy on the joints type of exercise either on a stationary bike at home while watching TV ,at the gym as a social gathering(there are whole fitness classes done exclusively on stationary bikes)

Or become a road warrior with the lycra skin tight one piece, space age helmet and 32 gear speed demon.

I won't bore you with the details but I have lost 4kg and feel in better shape and fitter than I have in years

So thanks again to the person who told me to get on my bike

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?'

...... Are you off your meds again, Girl......

Catholic priests have been taking a lot of flak in our lifetimes. Never married, no children, how DARE they tell us what to think or how to react, eh? Add into that, oops, a thousand or so out of the 400K out there in parishes have blotted their copybooks quite severely If you read no further than this before composing your answer, at least look at the last line of the blog.

I don’t completely understand, following that logic, why we even bother to read or respond to the CS self-appointed priests, though. Especially the two worst - never married, no children, not at all flexible in their thinking, but dear me how they like to thump their self-built pulpits and lay down their opinions (usually scooped off websites of extremely dodgy provenance) as divine guidance. And whip up fear and resentment and anxiety? Eish.

I’m talking about Won’tgohome and Goldenshower (Agent Orange has taught us all how to assign hilarious nicknames to those we dislike) in particular, and if you don’t know who I mean, have a look at the list of current blogs. They post rants every few hours, you really can’t miss them. (Much as you may so much want to )

I'm ducking out shortly but if there are any comments, I shall be responding later.

However:

Comments focusing on priests will be assigned a - they are not the object of the blog, read it again you numpty

Comments focusing on my personality and flaws will be addressed with vigour This is my first attack blog in my time here, I am braced for impact.

Obscenities, though, will be deleted in the interests of keeping the blog alive. If you can’t speak without swearing, have you anything worth saying at all?

Comments changing the subject completely to something interesting and lively will be greeted with cheers and applause

Comments suggesting the spate of hatred and bigotry which now dominate the blogs should end may even be read by Wontgohome and Goldenshower and are therefore a Very Good Thing

And yes I have a right to my opinion, yes I have a right to state it, yes I may go to CS jail for it (oh what a calamity) and may I finish up by reminding the ranters and all of us what blogs are supposed to be about. This one falls, fair and square, under posting a personal opinion.

A Blog is a journal you may enter about your life, thoughts, interesting experiences, or lessons you've learned. Post an opinion, impart words of wisdom, or talk about something interesting in your day. Update your blog on a regular basis, or just whenever you have something to say. Creating a blog is a good way to share something of yourself with others. Reading blogs is a good way to learn more about others. Doesn’t say anything about ‘copy and paste the most offensive inflammatory views you can find, several times a day’.

And it isn’t about priests. Read the SECOND paragraph.

It's been a while...got busy with work and everyday activities. But believed me guys, I missed to be here.
Am so sick today, the last time I was sick was in 2012, my health dropped down when my father died. I seldom got sick as, I am careful with everything I put in my mouth , had to do some workouts, as I believed, health is important than anything else.
But, as age adds, really true, immune system starts to lower it's performsnce. Becoming weak . I could not imagine those who are suffering with serious sickness. If I only could change my head ...huhhhh...this is real worst.

...sure, some get help from these hairdressers of medicine. But probably less that 10-20 %, if one includes the troublesome medication side effects, and the sordid history of what was pushed, in terms of diagnosis, etiologies, and therapies. Recall, these are the folks who brought us the wandering uterus as a cause for Hysteria, tried to blame mothers for serious illnesses in their kids (schizophrenogenic mothers), now claim every 80th child is on the autism spectrum, also confused normal adolescent identity issues with an epidemic of "Multiple Personality Disorder" and worse. For several generations, Psycho- an*l- lysis a la conflict laden Dr. Freud, was the prefered treatment for nearly whatever ailed ya. Lie on a couch with the analyst silently listening/note taking behind you and out of sight, rarely saying a word, four or five days a week, for YEARS!---oh yeah, that'll help. Pathetic.

I have lately decided to let my more Creative Nature to lead in my personality. I must say it is quite interesting. I'm planting all sorts, like plants, but mainly Parsley. I bought this packet of seeds, and eventually got my pot ready with some compost worked in, for the herbs. I carefully poured them into the rectangular pot, and raked some soil over, with my small rake (I have a set of small garden utensils for indoor use). They are situated in the Sunroom.
Everyday I checked the pot, and only on the 3rd day did some green bits appear, no you could not call them shoots yet, just lots of tiny green heads, in the brown of the soil.
This eventually developed into 6 cm small plants by the dozens, being watered slightly every night. Then I planted them out into separate pots, and the parsley is starting to show in 1/2 cm leaves. The joy of seeing them grow, babysitting the ones not doing to well.
Then the story about the little ones the other day. I'm really astounding myself?

How are you letting you creative self take over, every now and again?

....no exceptions. Ok, all this bloging on politics, or worse. I thought I'd push for a much more cheery topic. We go on through life dealing with worries of many sorts. Kids, bills, family, pets often top the list. But having been here for a long while, long enough to see more than a few CS folks leave life for good, some after struggling with terminal illnesses, it got me thinking. The few times I might have thought I had a deadly illness, but didn't, how the thought processes did change. Never had so many novel thoughts, some quite good, some not so much. And after learning of the reprieve, even more new thoughts. Sure, gratitude often tops the list, but what long, new lists these turned out to be. For some, it changes our thinking permanently. Well, permanently is a long time.

You feel that you have learned most of what you wanted to, and what does the future hold now? Do you stagnate? Do you still have the inclination to learn? Do you now have to invent new ways to keep your mind and body satisfied?
