By definition: bile is a yellow-green fluid produced by the liver of most vertebrates that aids the digestion of lipids in the small intestine. In humans, bile is primarily composed of water, produced continuously by the liver, and stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. After a human eats, this stored bile is discharged into the first section of their small intestine.

When people complain about others, they sometimes refer to the word bile in a negative sense ignoring the fact that bile is a necessary part of the digestion process.

While the average width of an airplane seat has been shrinking for decades, bodies are getting larger around the world, with experts predicting that over half of the global population will be overweight or obese by 2035.
This ultimately means that more and more passengers are likely to be finding it difficult to fit into airplane seats, and some may be hit in the pocket as a result.
Policies around plus-size travelers tend to vary from airline to airline. While a number, including United Airlines, require “customers who require extra seating” to buy an additional seat in advance, some refund the purchase if one or more seats are available after takeoff. However, there is no universal standard as such.
Different airlines have different guidelines. Some have no guidelines at all, meaning that even well-informed travelers can have trouble keeping up. Link:CNN

My neighbor is in her 80's and her son living with her is in his 60's. Originally from New Jersey, they would spend winters in Florida and summers at home. COVID changed their schedule and it looks like they are going to be here year-round.
I've only seen her 3 times and one of those times, paramedics had to escort her to emergency. Her son rarely comes out too. Usually, to check mail or to get groceries. He doesn't go far as he carries oxygen, usually by a portable machine slung over his shoulder with a nasal cannula and short tubing.
I know when they are up as I hear them 'bumbling around' as early as 5am. Banging doors or walls loud enough to wake me from a sound sleep. Usually, breakfast is around 7am. I know this as I can hear them scooting their wooden chairs on the tile floor. The chair dragging is intermittent, but it actually goes on all day. Sometimes, it sounds like they are rearranging furniture and pushing the dining table back and forth a few feet.
If you have experienc dragging a chair to the table in a few 'short bursts' you probably know the sound I'm describing.

I consulted a friend about offering them some self-adhesive felt pads they could stick on the bottom of the chair legs, but I'm told that's a bad idea and I sold just tolerate the dragging noises... at least I know they are alive!

All my dear blogger
It's not for those who are using medicine for major treatments or believe in medical treatment.
It's my idea and practice they we can avoid medicine by taking measures for our disease like pain anywhere in body.
First we have to look in our daily life that what we had eaten at night or in daytime that pain started after that. Very simple to avoid eating that particular dish.
Same like other thing happens in our daily life to avoid them and to get rid of the disease.
Hope positive comments to be written.

I self-diagnosed covid, but after going through all the symptoms, I am now under the impression, that what I have is a very bad cold. How do I know that?

Well.. Cold sores, or o*al herpes. They always present themselves when I have had a particularly bad cold, so the fact that BOTH my lips had them, it's pretty safe to say that I don't have covid. I'm just dealing with a monster of a cold. That type of cold that makes your voice turn into a croak, at times. I also have that extremely annoying cough, that just will not go away.

So yes - no corona for me this time, thankfully. Or.. Well, I MIGHT have it, just not Covid-19.

"But Philipsen, what do you mean when you say you might have corona?"

An excellent question. You see, although the common cold is usually caused by rhinoviruses, in 15% of cases the cause is a coronavirus. The human coronaviruses HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-229E, and HCoV-NL63 continually circulate in the human population in adults and children worldwide and produce the generally mild symptoms of the common cold. The four mild coronaviruses have a seasonal incidence occurring in the winter months in temperate climates.

If it was covid, I wouldn't have as much energy as I do now, and I probably wouldn't have cold sores either. I mark this down to a change in climate. It's the only thing I can think of that would give me a monster cold. Or maybe that I didn't sleep a lot during my flight home from the US. The next time I am going there, I am taking a direct flight so I don't have to stress with changing flight, and it makes me more relaxed as well.

But for now, it's time to relax and enjoy this extended weekend. It's a public holiday today, and tomorrow, every person at my job, who is paid by the hour, is off. I do not fully understand why, but it suits me well. It gives me more time to recover from my cold.

Since I lost 10 pounds this year through daily walking and LESS FOOD, I've been watching YouTube videos about what foods to eat and what foods to avoid. There are easily 20 different contributors who claim to be doctors with all sorts of advice on the subject of improving health.
Most of them talk about Keto or Ketosis and avoiding sugar and carbohydrates. Okay, I get it. But... Up until I started watching these videos, I was always told by the medical professionals in real life, that breakfast should be the most important meal of the day.
Now, I'm hearing as crazy as one meal around 5pm.
I get the short term fasting and the avoidance of sugar and carbohydrates, but a routine of planned starvation with only one meal a day doesn't 'sound like' sound advice.

I'm debating if I should post some of those videos that I think fall off the edge of the earth.
Clean your liver by eating these foods, toxins in these foods, the best way to speed up your metabolism...

Background: Like 7 million other Americans -- anyone with transplants, auto-immune conditions and others -- I'm on an immuno-suppressant. That makes me more vulnerable than normal to COVID-19.

But I had the 2 COVID-19 vaccines and 2 boosters, the last booster the one that covered some of the latest COVID variants. And being cautious I went 2+ years without getting COVID.

Recently I went to a "Floyd Nation" concert, a *great* show by a Pink Floyd cover band (highly recommended!).

It was there at that concert I likely caught COVID-19. Crowded with people, screaming at the top of my lungs -- and as a former Army platoon sergeant I know how to use a "command voice" and yell loud enough to command 200 soldiers to pay attention -- I had a great time doing all things one would expect one to do at a concert.

That put me 3 days in an ICU, with COVID giving me pneumonia in one lung. Thankfully, the hospital had me fixed up quickly, transferring me from the ICU to a normal room and then discharged the next day -- but with a wake-up call that things could have turned out very differently!

Of course, the US federal gov't now pretends that COVID is "normal" and is nothing to worry about.

But the *reality* is that more than 250 Americans die of COVID-19 each and every day.

So my advice: Be cautious!
