After the US civil war, few records tell of lady physicians are found. Just after the First World War, women (and some fellas) opened the first medical college for women, in Pennsylvanis. The rest is history, if a slow one. Up until 30 years ago, women represented below 20% of doctors in training here. Not so elsewhere, and in Russia, much earlier, women physicians were more common than men. Turkey has almost no cosmetic male dermatologists. Many othe examples. And today in the USA, women represent nearly half of incoming classes. And just this year, almost all OB/ Gynecologists entering specialty training are ladies, more or less. But all of my urologists, (with their intimate yearly prostate exams!) are men. We all wait for the ladies to broaden the ranks. Bend over Aaltarboy, says Dr. Esmarelda. Yeowie.
Hello everyone
For those who care, I was just given permission to share this news with you here on CS regarding our CS member Keys707, who has been AWOL for some time... I realize some of you have been wondering as to where he has been and his whereabouts, some haven't given his missing any thought or missed his inspirational blogs, and some of you think that he is no longer posting them because maybe you said something to run him away, and you're glad he is no longer posting...
Well, Keys is not a running, he is a true fighter,. After his last blog post, he became ill and it was found that he had a brain tumor. He's doing fine at this time undergoing his many treatments, with more to start on Monday.
Please pray for his emotional, mental, and physical healing and that he recovers very soon. Pray that God will touch his body with His mighty powerful healing hands, and Keys will recover and be completely enclosed in his right mind and regain his physical strength.
Thank you and I will keep you posted of his progress

As a person gets older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. Certain parts of the brain shrink, including those important to learning and other complex mental activities. In certain brain regions, communication between neurons may be less effective. Blood flow in the brain may decrease
Aging is the time-related deterioration of the physiological functions necessary for survival and reproduction. The phenotypic changes of senescence (which affect all members of the species) are not to be confused with diseases of senescence, such as cancer and heart disease (which affect individuals)
Exposure to light is a top cause of premature aging: Sun exposure causes many skin problems. Ultraviolet (UV) light and exposure to sunlight age your skin more quickly than it would age naturally. The result is called photoaging, and it's responsible for 90% of visible changes to your skin.
Advantages to society of older persons include their lower criminal activity, greater political participation, increasing voluntary organization participation, work abilities, and visual perception abilities.

So around 8:30am yesterday while I was still sleeping my doorbell rang. Aroused by the sound I yelled just a moment and slipped on some pants. I heard a familiar voice respond with an okay. My land use tenants.
I had rewired my electric circuit panel and installed a 30 amp 110v GFI plug outside (using 8.2 AWG Romex and an appropriate circuit breaker) outside the house and for a monthly fee permitted a friendly former dancer to park her large, towed RV motor home (you may depending on where you live call it a towed Caravan trailer) as a place to live. She had a well to do husband and when he passed she liquidated much and bought the mobile home as a place to live. It is big enough so that whatever tows it needs what is called a 5th wheel to tow it. Ultimately after bouncing around awhile she decided on the Shenandoah Valley as a place to settle. To alieviate boredom, much as I had done a few years ago gotten a job at the local 711. Local parking rates for such large RVs can approach (US) $70 a day. When she mentioned this to the store owner it was suggested she contact me, and a mutually acceptable financial deal was struck with a parking lease agreement and advance payment resulting.
It was an effort to get her RV in place due to some low laying tree branches. But they were removed and a good water and power connection was made. She was happy with the secluded location we chose. A posted entrance and screened by tree hedgerows totally invisible from the road. Deer, rabbits, turkey greet her every morning. Gorgeous sunsets. Hunting allowed. Close enough to work to walk. A parking place for her car. WiFi, etcc.
In the past 6 months we have become reasonably friendly. I have a private jogging trail she uses to stay trim. Her shape is not displeasing. She does her own mowing around her camper. When home her electric current draw is at most 24 amps. The electric bill is included in the rent of the space, Her music taste is similar to my own.
So the purpose of her visit was to invite me to a barbecue she was planning for evening. Althoujgh early for me, she had just gotten off work at the store, so I offered her a cold one. She accepted and we went outside to the chairs on my front porch,, me with coffee, her with a tall Twisted Tea. I asked her to hold on while I got my cigarettea (also to put on my flip flops). While iside I heard her screaming my name. I yelled out throush a window what is wrong. She yelled back she needed help. Come here now. My land has mostly gentle animals, but it also has animals that eat them. Bear, Eastern Coyote (aka Red Wolf), occasional mountain lions seeking a mate too. .Or there may have been a human trespasser on my posted lands she was confronting. Either way it couldn't be good, so I grabbed an appropriate gun and went to help her. She wasn't where I had left her. I yelled where are you and she said, at my trailer. I ran over there and found her on the ground clutching her arm which had a new bend between wrist and elbow.
I asked what happened and she said I fell on my steps. She had decided to retrieve her own smoking materials while I got my cigarettes. Before coming to my door she had gone home and changed out of her work outfit to something more stylish which included women's cowboy line dancing boots to match the desired western cowgirl look. Those boots are made for dancing on a dance floor. The soles are slick leather. The steps to her home are polished metal, still damp with the morning dew. She had fumbled for her key while ascending the steps when her foot slipped. As she went down she out thrust her arm to protect her face from the steel step edge. Her hand slipped off the top step and into the space above the next step as she continued to fall. Her arm was not a crowbar. Her momentum resulted in the trapped arm breaking.

Britain is set to start vaccinations
Leaping ahead of the U.S., Britain gave emergency authorization to Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine today, and the country is set to begin the first inoculations against Covid-19 on Monday morning.
With the move, Britain became the first Western country to allow mass vaccinations against the virus and the first country to authorize the use of a fully tested vaccine. (Russia and China have approved vaccines, but without waiting for the results from large-scale trials.)
The early approval is a shot in the arm for a country that has struggled to get the virus under control and where more than 59,000 people have died from Covid-19, according to a New York Times database.
The first Britons on the list to receive a vaccine are nursing home residents and workers, followed by people older than 80 and health and social care workers. In practice, though, frontline hospital workers may be quicker to receive vaccines because of the difficulties of storing and moving the Pfizer vaccine to nursing homes and other sites.
Britain beat the United States to authorization — even though the vaccine was developed by an American pharmaceutical giant (and the small German company BioNTech) — by taking a different, and quicker, route.
While American regulators work line by line through the raw data from vaccine makers to check their trial results, their counterparts in Britain rely more heavily on the companies’ own analyses. Britain also relied on an old law that allowed the country to circumvent the European Union’s regulatory regimen, and its regulatory agency fast-tracked the review of the Pfizer vaccine.
The speedy approval has fed concerns about safety, though British regulators have repeatedly said they have not taken shortcuts. Regulators there not only review trial data, but also the manufacturing processes of vaccines and controls.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration will decide on emergency authorization for the Pfizer vaccine shortly after a meeting of an advisory panel on Dec. 10. The European Union, like the F.D.A., has planned a high-profile meeting with outside experts who will weigh in on the vaccine, on Dec. 29, and a decision on authorization is expected several days later.
I wonder if there's a bunch of anti-vaccination nutcases in the UK also.
I don’t purposely exercise like I used to, but living in a townhouse and tending to Sweetie gives me apt opportunity for daily physical activity, at home. However, I need to do other things to get my daily dose of happy hormones, so I’ve decided to return to an old habit of adding ‘dance’ to my daily activities. Nothing formal though, just me, fun music and fun movements – turn on the radio, find something upbeat and ‘shake what my momma gave me’. LOL!
Sweetie probably needs some of that too...
Psychologists say that it’s not only great for the body, but for the mind as well, as it helps people who may be dealing with depression. I believe them. Whenever I’ve had a good dance session, it made me feel better physically and mentally; it puts a smile on my face and good thoughts in my head, every time.
Had a frustrating day at work? Having challenges with a relationship? Feeling lonely, sad or depressed? Try dancing your blues away.
News first came across on the forums where galrads/sdarlagg was a regular. I know he was hospitalized more than a year ago and recovered. On April 7th robplum announced he was again in the hospital with pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis and the update came through today that he passed away on the 10th.
I was in Dayton, Ohio last year on vacation, about one hour from Columbus where he lived. It came as a surprise my brother drove me to Columbus to see a famous museum and German restaurant, so I had no advance plan to contact gal. Always in my thoughts would be to get in touch if I get the chance to go back to Dayton this summer.
It just wasn't in the cards.
There's a void in the CS family as his absence is noticed...
If one is dumb enough to waste time listening to more of Trump's lies,
one is dumb enough to not to wear a mask, nor socially distance.
So, what's the total over & under on how many of the morons will get Covid-19
from these 2 rallies ?
Also, what percentage of those who reserve tickets, will actually show up ?
Will Kool-Aid actually be served ?
What's the over & under on how many lies that will be told ?
Who will they chant to lock up this time ?
Step right up. Place your bets.
