Why is it that all these ladies have never smoked, do all the smokers stay in relationships ?? Think about it, when you check the profiles, it's as if they are all cloned, or is it to give themselves a better chance.
Surely honesty is the best thing ??

I am not yet trying this methods, but you could try it if you want to.



Wish you all success with weight loss methods showed on the Link above.

involved or impacted by the mass murders in Orlando Florida last night.





This is of course, with 50 already confirmed dead and another 53 being treated in the ER (some critically injured so the death toll may still rise), the largest mass shooting by a lone gunman in US history and changes will have to happen because of it.


What the changes will be is of course yet to be jelled. We now know the shooter is/was a US Born citizen of Afghan descent. We know he had an AR-15, a pistol and some devices (the bomb squads are still looking at them) he planted around the Gay & Lesbian Club where the slaughters occurred.

I know some are already blaming the availability of guns, but as someone who knows how childishly easy it is to make a gun and the wide spread availability of non-gun kits designed to be completed into guns that work, the presence all over the web of gun blue prints and machines to mill or turn steel and how fairly powerful explosives can be put together in a home with household chemicals such as nail polish remover, paint thinner and an antiseptic (for instance, many other do it yourself compounds are possible and easy) I am not sure thosse facts are the entire extent of the problem.

Obviously because the shooter's parents are from Afghanistan some have seized on that and claim that is proof he was a Muslim extremist and the shooting was ideological in motive.

For me, I need more. For all we know he was Catholic or Christian as both religion's Bibles also speak out against Gays.

What is clear to me is that I am sure there were warning signs of s dangerous psychosis which some people ignored or the official response to was grossly inadequate. We saw that here in VA when a young Asian who had scchizophrenia so badly he was committed for it by his parents, but the Mental Health system in VA failedm citing a 'right to medical privacy' to forward his name to law enforcement which allowed the crazy college student to shoot up his campus. We also saw clear warning signs of dangerous psychosis when a television reporter in Roanoke gunned down former co-workers. And on and on. Aurora, California, Newhall, Connecticut, etc. Fact is most mass shooters turned out to be very crazy people and folks knew it, but also allowed them to leave the psychiatric institutions and often local law enforcement was never notified so their name did not match any records in the law enforcement data bases when they went to buy a gun. That needs to change.

Yes, I concede they could still make one, but often when a mental disease reaches that point, well let's just say making things that work, that ability is often gone. In any case if they were still kept in a nut hospital (political incorrectness of using the Nut word seen and ignored) where they belonged, the only thing they would be permitted to make would be pot holders and oven mitts.

I am getting the flu again

Have had a few mails asking why I have suddenly vanished. I can assure you all that it was something beyond my control. In a nutshell,I have spent the past 9 days lying in a hospital bed the result of a severe heart attack Have had a bypass and so far so good, but I will be keeping a low profile for a while as it is not exactly something that one can overcome in a short period of time. Docs say I will be fine, time to give up the ciggies. I may not be commenting, But I will be scrutinising with the utmost scrut! Keep up the good work guys, and providing the guy with the sickle doesn't call on me will rejoin you soon.

Even Though Mohamed Ali Had been ln the later stages of a crippling Ailment the world ls rocked to lts core to hear of his sad passing. RIP.
People who had no lnterest ln sport were still drawn by his charisma. We will never see this greatness and
Character again. People will point that Rocky Marciano was the only Heavyweight Champion never beaten
( Compared to 5 losses ln Ali's professional record but when you consider Frazier,Cooper,Foreman, Liston &
Patterson to pick the most famous, an argument must be made that Ali / Clay fought ln a more difficult era.

As well as being the showman and great athlete this giant was smart and articulate and had a wit which
Endeared him to his lnterviewers and his captive audience.
Sadly now l expect there will be awful squabbling and bickering between his wife and all the children from his
Current and previous marriages. It ls a great pity as undignified behaviour ls an lnsult to this man's greatness.

Heaven ls A Better Place Now .

Following His Passing
(Rest ln Peace, Champ )

Verified -snopes.com: Generic Drugs

Let's hear it for Costco!! (This is just mind-boggling!) Make sure you
read all the way past the list of the drugs. The woman that signed
below is a Budget Analyst out of federal Washington , DC offices.

Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active
ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must cost
a lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We did a
search of offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the active
ingredients found in drugs approved by the FDA. As we have revealed in
past issues of Life Extension, a significant percentage of drugs sold
in the United States contain active ingredients made in other
countries. In our independent investigation of how much profit drug
companies really make, we obtained the actual price of active
ingredients used in some of the most popular drugs sold in America .

One thing about being at the hospital so often is that it reminds us how fragile our body is. Without a healthy body it is very difficult for us to enjoy life not to mention the cost we incur specially if insurance is not available and even if it is, the co pay is eating us alive.

Anyways, on one of my visit to a friend who is there on and off for lung cancer, there was an open discussion about what food to eat to prevent cancer.

Just google "cancer fighting foods" and you would be surprised at the array of fruits and vegetables that appear on the screen.

But for purposes of this discussion, the Doctor that was in charge of the open meeting specially mentioned four particular foods that truly beats cancer and that makes us very healthy. Here they are:

Salmon, spinach, peas, and potatoes. With the exception of potatoes, I eat most of them in addition with my bitter melon, and all Asian vegetables that are not always available at the supermarket. On the farmer's market however, depending on where you live, it might be of abundance. In California, the organic grown vegetables sold on the open market season which is mostly from May to September, offer many of these rather rare but very healthy induced greens. In Bakersfield, the Golden farmer market, is open all year round on weekends.

Anyways, at my age, and have since dodged two cancers (1994, and 2014), I am feeling so young and very healthy. I do 100 push ups a day and go to the gym as diligently as possible.

Question: How important is health to you? Sometimes, until we see people who are really afflicted due to negligence, we do check in our practices and sometimes, it is too late.

Note: Sadly, most of those attendees on the said meeting were all obese and very unhealthy but it is better late than never, I guess.

That is all and have a good healthy day for all of us.

Don't forget, google "cancer beating foods." Start investing in our health.

Happy Earth day to you ,I planted 15 tress today .
What about you ?
