<span style="color: #151515;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was at the Mall the other day and noticed so many men were carrying the new "Man bag". Well, they are not really new, they have been around for a long time now. Most stores are calling them "Messenger Bags".</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 26.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #151515;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They now have gone upscale. I've certainly noticed them before but the upscale ones are over the top price wise!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 26.25pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #151515; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Designers have gone wild making them
in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Yikes, these prices are absolutely crazy!</span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 26.25pt; text-align: justify;">

backpack emblazoned with the label’s monogram print, and pricier backpacks are
sold by Valentino ($3,695) and Fendi ($5,000).</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #151515; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: large;">And men

gender dysphoria last night with a scheduled interview with Diane Sawyer. Yes, we all remember him as the "decathlon

Thompson) also known as one of Elvis’ girlfriends……just one day after Bruce's
interview posted her story..........gosh, seemed like it waiting to go hot off
the press. It was written so eloquently and almost a perfect story for a
movie deal. It seemed like the story was already written and only need to click on the "send" button.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She praises her ex-husband and vowed to keep his
secret. She said the Bruce she knew back
then was an easygoing, down-to-earth, casual, romantic, good and loving man. She was extremely happy to have found such a
remarkable partner with whom to share her life. She found him to be honorable
and, well, just too good to be true.<i> <b>Just too good to be true indeed.</b></i></span><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The 2<sup>nd</sup> wife does add: She wouldn't be completely forthcoming if I
didn't disclose in her writings that after Bruce and Kris married, there were
periods of several years going by without Bruce attempting to contact or visit
his sons. No birthday cards or phone calls, no "Merry Christmas," no
"Everything OK?" after the big Northridge earthquake. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

"Hallmark memories" of father-and-son moments. They were saddened by
his lack of participation in their lives, and her heart ached for them. When
Brandon asked her, "Mom, what kind of a father doesn't come to his son's
graduation?" she meekly replied, "Honey, your dad may have been the
world's greatest athlete physically, but emotionally, you have to view him in a
wheelchair".</span><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Diane Sawyer's interview, she blatantly asked Bruce if this was all a ploy for
publicity for his reality show with the Kardashians? I have to admit, it
crossed my mind immediately and his facial expression and response made me think
about it again. I’m still wondering!
I knew Diane
Sawyer was going to ask this question.
Just knew it………..I would have asked it too! Anyone remotely that close to the Kardashians
has to be questioned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Why was Bruce married so many
times to women when he clearly felt he was a woman? And clearly stated that he is not a lesbian. Has never been with another man. I don't understand
the part of him not being in touch with two of his other sons after he married
Mrs. K.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

chooses. I don't think he should have dragged so many other women into
it. He should have told them all before he married them. That is my
opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

mention the name Kardashian or Kanya! I’m
sure there is more to reveal. Smells
like more money needs to be made by this clan! I was not aware that the TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians was Bruce's original idea and that he put it all together!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I’m begging all
of you to make an appointment with a Board Certified Dermatologist right now. Do not procrastinate. You will want someone skilled in this field
to examine your entire body for any disease, infection, skin abnormalities and
the harsh effects of aging and sun damage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">If you are
married or living with someone, please examine each other’s body looking for
some warning signs that may indicate basal cell carcinoma, an open sore, a
reddish patch, a growth with an elevated border, a bump or a nodule and a scar
like area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I, faithfully
have an annual appointment with my Dermatologist. And in March, 2015, I was diagnosed with Basal Cell Carcinoma and
four weeks later had surgery to remove the cancer and burn the area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">My doctor had a patient that ignored for years a spot on her arm. She lost an eyeball because of not seeking medical help! This is very serious.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Basal cell
carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. It occurs most frequently on sun exposed
regions of the body. Yet, mine is
located in an area that I would have to have gone sun bathing topless! I'm not a sun bather because I
hate to sweat. I live in Florida and can’t
avoid the sun while walking to my car or doing errands. I used to use my pool but only after 4:00 PM
when the sun was coming down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I now have a hole
on my right side right under wear the elastic of my bra would hit and it digs
in. Ouch!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I went back to my
doctor’s office the other day, as I was concerned about the red ring around the
wound and just not looking like it was healing properly to me. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Well, my doctor
was super busy and I walked in unannounced with no appointment which I have
never done before but I was only a block away from his office when I decided to
make an appearance out of concern for my health.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The nurse was not
as gentle as my doctor. My doctor never
hurts me and this nurse with ruthless!
She dug in deeper and deeper and called me a wuss! She later put something on my wound and
warned me it would burn real bad. I dug
my nails in her arm! The burning lasted
throughout my 20 minute drive home. Ugh. My doctor will hear about this experience
during my next appointment for sure!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When I arrived home,
all I wanted was to do was yank the bra off and get into my bed! Well, the gal in the next door condo just had
her third child and the infant was crying and crying…. Give me a break! </span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">While sitting out at my Library’s patio enjoying a cup of coffee
from their Cafe, I forgot how lovely the atmosphere is there. I used to frequent my library constantly in
the past. I just love my Kindle for the
convenience and also that I’m able to set the font to my liking and that
background light is also easy on my eyes while reading. But sometimes, there is a waiting game for that book and it maybe on "hold" for quite some time before being able to download it.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">I did a dumb thing the other day with my Kindle and getting impatient waiting for a book I wanted to read and download from the library; so I decided to buy the book from my Kindle. After reading a couple of chapters, I realized that I have read this book before! LOL Thank goodness purchasing books to download to your Kindle is so much cheaper than buying a book. $6.99. I keep a log of all the books I have read on Shelfari so I'm surprised this one slipped by me!</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">I enjoyed the couple of hours I spent at the Library. I was mesmerized by the loveliness all around me. I seldom look up from my daily routine of
things to notice some spectacular surroundings.
My library is fairly new and very unusual compared to most old, stuffy
libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">We can save some time and frustration
and look to those around us and learn from their experiences as well. For example, instead of being defensive when
an older person passes on advice listen and appreciate the learning they have gained over time. Really tune into their mistakes more closely than their successes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Most
of my friends are finally retired now.
Some worked longer than others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Retirement
is filled with time, but it’s quickly being used up. There’s nothing you can do
to stop it, but there’s a great deal you can do to make it count. Sometimes people switch demographics, you
have to deal with unpredictable economic markets and rising health care
costs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The
wasted and idle moments in your life add up. If you always have something ready
to do with them, they can add up to great value in your life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I
noticed that some people still procrastinate knowing that they have more time
now. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In
fact, the limits on your time are really a blessing in disguise. Those limits
motivate you to use your time in the ways that are most meaningful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">You
are more aware of your health and try to take better care of yourself. You will experience feeling lonely at times
especially if you are a widow/widower and living away from your family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">It is
important to surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when
you are in need. People who would never
take advantage of you. People who
genuinely care. They are the ones worth
keeping in your life. Everyone else is
just passing through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Eat
healthy, exercise and keep a good sense of humor.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Keep your family close.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Keep yourself busy.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Enjoy the beautiful sunsets. I didn't say it would be easy!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My Boston family and
friends are getting super frustrated at this point and who can blame them.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: adelle-sans, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; outline: invert none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I
never knew Boston had "Snow Melter" equipment before. I guess I've been away
from my home town too long! I'm sure that is a super expensive piece of equipment that most snow removal companies don't have or can't afford.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: adelle-sans, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; outline: invert none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As of Tuesday morning, Boston has received 77.3
inches of snow this season. The governor for Massachusetts signed an emergency
declaration for the entire state. I remember the Blizzard of 78 and this has
surpassed that already.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: adelle-sans, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; outline: invert none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was curious as to why they couldn't dump the snow in the ocean and my son told me that it's against the law. The Clean Water Act prohibits dumping snow in the ocean and the Wetlands Protection Act says no dumping in rivers and lakes because those truckloads of snow would contain contaminants like road treating chemicals, salt and even oil and gas from cars. Not to mention garbage picked up off the road. All stuff that doesn't belong in our waterways.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: adelle-sans, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; outline: invert none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I guess more Snow Melters are needed. What are they going to do?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: adelle-sans, sans-serif; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 24px; orphans: 2; outline: invert none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; widows: 2;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I have the best friends in the world. Dearest, Paula crocheted scarfs for everyone and cooked lasagna, gravy, meatballs, pork, etc. and stuffed clams that I'm still craving now! Linda provided her lovely home for this wonderful gathering and also eggplant and chicken marsala and antipasto. Diane provided a beautiful Italian rum birthday cake. Thank you for all that you do and your generous gifts.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Most of my pictures came out blurry for some reason, as the one above is not that clear either. I'm hoping the photos that Paula took will be better and will post them later. Thanks ladies for a lovely celebration! I was the last one out of our class to turn 70 and you all made the day special.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Backyard fire pits have become the latest must-have feature. <o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was the topic of conversation by my pool yesterday with my snowbird
neighbors now pouring in Florida from New England. <o:p></o:p></span></span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My
neighbors were all telling me that with fall setting in, many like to extend their
time outdoors by sitting around a backyard fire pit until they can come back to
their winter retreat here in the warmer climate. They did admit that even
though it may be fun—it is not good for the environment, especially during
times when air quality is already poor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One man admitted, he only stays near the fire pit to keep warm while his is sucking on a cigarette. His wife was hoping with the colder temps, it would cause him to smoke less because it was getting too cold to go outside and better still she was hoping that he would quit the nasty addiction.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of
course, all this chit chat on this subject prompted me to do some research on the topic since I have many
friends from New England that love fire pits.
I, personally don’t like them. I
hate those sparks flying out of the pit and onto your clothes causing holes in
your clothing! And, why would I want to
sit and freeze in 30 degree temps in the first place when I could be indoors enjoying the warmth of a cozy home and a cup of tea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">While
researching this topic, it was hard to assess the larger impact of backyard fire
pits on local or regional air quality, but no one questions the fact that
breathing in wood smoke can be irritating if not downright harmful. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), so-called fine particles are the
most dangerous components of wood smoke from a health perspective, as they “can
get into your eyes and respiratory system, where they can cause health problems
such as burning eyes, runny nose and illnesses such as bronchitis.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fine
particles also aggravate chronic heart and lung diseases, and have been linked
to premature deaths in those already suffering from such afflictions. As such,
the EPA advises that anyone with congestive heart failure, angina, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema or asthma should steer clear of wood
smoke in general. Children’s exposure to wood smoke should also be limited, as their
respiratory systems are still developing and they breathe more air (and air
pollution) per pound of body weight than adults. Also, not good for pets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The
Washington State Department of Ecology reports that about 10 percent of the
wintertime air pollution statewide can be attributed to fine particles from
wood smoke coming out of wood burning stoves. While a wood stove may be a
necessary evil as a source of interior heat, there is no excuse for lighting up
a backyard fire pit during times when you could be creating health issues for
your neighbors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Another
potential risk to using a backyard fire pit is sparking a forest fire. Some
communities that are surrounded by forestland voluntarily institute seasonal
burn bans so that residents won’t inadvertently start a forest fire while they
are out enjoying their backyard fire pits. If you live in one of these areas,
you probably already know it and would be well advised to follow the rules.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you
must light that backyard fire pit, take some precautions to limit your friends’
and family’s exposure to wood smoke. One of my neighbors from Maine stated that The
Maine Bureau of Air <u>Quality recommends using only seasoned firewood and
burning it in a way that promotes complete combustion—small, hot fires are
better than large smoldering ones—to minimize the amount of harmful smoke. <o:p></o:p></u></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I already know my New England friends will not enjoy this post. But it is what it is. I care about your lungs.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 18.75pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The moral
of the story: If you need to burn, burn
responsibly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here we go again, on Sunday, November 2, it will be the end of Daylight Saving
Time. Many of us will be grunting to ourselves as we wander from room to room
resetting all of our clocks: you know all the ones we have on the clock radio, stove,
microwave, </span><span style="font-size: large;">thermostat, wrist watches, </span><span style="font-size: large;">etc. And, every year I forget to change the clock in my car! I prefer daylight savings time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4eXMvwAHvrMoBQWZ0s4GVKfmaSZfAqa8AoNYItTcpJZE4Ft4jZDwuZF3qIRHSX2U_obRkiJbOEciqKIMulF78OAdfD3735t68sODNcAYdpENchufwATToLGOviy58iL11Y6MxvTV9qgMa/s1600/Clock_-_Alarm_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4eXMvwAHvrMoBQWZ0s4GVKfmaSZfAqa8AoNYItTcpJZE4Ft4jZDwuZF3qIRHSX2U_obRkiJbOEciqKIMulF78OAdfD3735t68sODNcAYdpENchufwATToLGOviy58iL11Y6MxvTV9qgMa/s1600/Clock_-_Alarm_4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Yes, you will get an extra hour of sleep by turning back the clock by an
hour in the fall. But if you have a regular day job, you'll be commuting home in
the dark instead of in daylight. Why do we do this every
fall? I always felt it was a stupid thing to do. I'm retired now but I'm still concerned about my family and friends that still work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Turning the clocks back and waking up in the predawn darkness is
simply bad for your health, especially if you are elderly or have a heart
condition, researchers have noted in their medical studies. Going to bed in the dark
and waking up in the dark is simply stupid in my opinion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Isn't it more important to save lives and save electricity?</u></b> Why can't
we convince the government to leave our clocks alone and set and Daylight Savings Time? I'm sure the farmers
would appreciate it as well. And, the children have more play time outdoors after dinner. Of course, today the kids play with their electronics more than riding their bikes or playing on a swing set in the backyard. Those were the good old days!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Arizona and Hawaii are the only two states that do </span><u style="font-size: x-large;">not</u><span style="font-size: large;">
change their clocks. So how can we convince all of our local governments to take
on this initiative? Complaining by myself does not help. You need everyone to
complain to get somewhere.</span></div>

telephone poles (I, personally dialed 911 after seeing a young man bang into a telephone pole while texting and knocked himself out) and I have seen people sending emails during dinner in
restaurants while sitting with spouses and other friends. I’m guilty of chatting on the phone while cooking dinner
but to my defense, I was not the person who made the call, someone called me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="background: white; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="font-size: large;">Chances are, you’re not doing yourself (or your boss, or your
friends and family) any favors by multitasking your way through the day.
Research shows that it’s not nearly as efficient as we like to believe, and can
even be harmful to our health. You should stop everything you’re doing—well,
all but one thing—and rethink the way you work, socialize, and live your life. Stress causes chronic diseases.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

There’s not a lot left over for other things, with the exception of automatic
behaviors like walking or chewing gum.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<i><span style="background: white; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="font-size: large;">It makes sense that moving back and forth between several
tasks actually wastes productivity, because your attention is expended on the
act of switching gears—plus, you never get fully “in the zone” for either
activity. It is slowing you down. It
makes more sense to me to prioritize your tasks and release stress at the same

clipping coupons, hunting for bargains, and comparing prices while shopping,

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">Energy efficient appliances are in the spotlight these days. But, sometimes I wonder if they really make
sense at all. I know that the rebates
are designed to help reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases by
replacing energy-guzzling home appliances with newer, more efficient models. I always looked for the Energy Star large
kitchen appliances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">I had a repairman tell me that consumers should weigh
the cost and benefits of new appliances carefully before making a purchase. You
may save some money by replacing your 22-year-old refrigerator, but junking a
7-year-old working dishwasher may not save you enough to make the purchase
worthwhile. Some repairs make sense and most means to replace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">The average household energy spends nearly half of
which goes to heating and cooling, according to Energy Star. Of the rest, about
14 percent goes to heating water, 12 percent to lighting and only 13 percent
for appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers and dishwashers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">I’m sure today's refrigerators are at are more efficient
than those made 20 years ago. And although a refrigerator usually accounts for
only 5 percent of a home's energy consumption, some homeowners could be
spending twice as much as they should be by using an older model.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">Even Energy Star says homeowners shouldn't be so quick to
replace just any appliance. The rating system is designed to help consumers
make more educated purchasing decisions, but they should still put more focus
on the heating and cooling of their home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 14pt;">I had Florida Power and Light come to my home and they do a
checkup for free to try and save you money on your electric bill. He provided a lot of good information. He also told me that I can turn off my water
heater if I will not be home for a while.
It only takes about 15 minutes to heat up again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

by just a few dollars! I was hoping it
would be a good savings of at least $20. or so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

researched this information online. The

often stir up concern. What’s even more confusing is that the US is one of the

wine, sulfites in wine range from no-added sulphur (10-40 PPM) to about 350
PPM. If you compare wine to other foods, it’s placed far lower on the spectrum.
For example, many dry red wines have around 50 PPM.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

food product (ever open a wine and it’s bad by the next day?). Wineries have
been using sulfur around wine for a long time, as far back as the Roman times.
Back in Roman times, winemakers would burn candles made of sulfur in empty wine
containers (called Amphora) to keep the wines from turning to vinegar. Sulfur
started to be used in winemaking (instead of just cleaning wine barrels) in the
early 1900′s to stop bacteria and other yeasts from growing. It also helps in
the extraction of pigments in wine, making red wines "redder". <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

at around 50 PPM. What’s interesting is that the warmer the wine, the more
molecular sulfur it releases. This is why some wines have a nasty cooked-egg
aroma when you open them. You can fix this issue by decanting your wine and
chilling for about 15-30 minutes. Chilling the red wine helps a lot even though
I was always told to drink it at room temperature. It actually made the red wine taste better.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><i>Living in a hot climate like Florida and since most wines
are made in cold cellars, it makes sense to chill red wine. It takes a lot to time to transport wine to
various states, so sitting in a hot truck for weeks at a time does not help
either. Then sitting on the shelves of
stores that the room temperature is not exactly what it should be for wine is another culprit. And we all know that stores like Costco do not have air conditioning like your Wine Stores!<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

doctor. I was feeling neglected. My pain was worsening with the new diagnosis
of Rheumatoid Arthritis/Scleroderma. Your body simply tells you something is very wrong! It all started with swollen hands and swollen feet at first.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

sent me to a Rheumatologist, who sent me for countless blood work testing,
breathing tests, Scans, electrocardiograms, etc. And at my first visit with the Specialist, he
gave me cortisone shots on both shoulders.
The very next day, I felt like a new person. However, being mobile and pain free again <b><u>was
short lived </u></b>and depression was setting in.
I have a nurse friend who warned me that the cortisone shots were only a
temporary fix. She was right. She also felt that I couldn't possibly have R/A but the numerous blood tests clearly showed "Rheumatoid" and "Scleroderma". <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

office, who the bad mannered doctor never stepped in beyond the threshold of the
doorway. He just placed his tablet
against the wall and wrote with his stylus pen.
My visits were less than 7 minutes each time and my wallet was hurting
from all the copayments. He would just
look at my swollen hands and then ask me how my breathing was. That was it. Oh, and schedule another appointment for me a week later. Well, I decided that was my last appointment with the Rheumatologist! If he was so concerned about my breathing, he never put the stethoscope to my chest and back! duh!<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

office manager a very long letter expressing my feelings and that I needed help
ASAP. I was in tears! Frustrated, extreme pain and no one was helping
me!<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Two days later, I received a call from my Primary Care doctor
and he told me that he didn’t like the way my Rheumatologist was treating me
with four months of Medrol, as I was vomiting and still in terrible pain. My doctor said to me, I will be back under
his care and no longer with the Rheumatologist who he knew I disliked because
of his bad manners.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">My doctor then presented to me that he would like to try an
antibiotic protocol. I’m grateful that
he wasn’t afraid to think outside the box.
The <b><u>Minocycline Therapy</u></b> is a long road to take but I was willing to do
anything to relieve me from the pain <u><b>but not without me doing some research
on my own first</b></u> and was so lucky to find the website “The Road Back
Foundation”. This Foundation is located
in Cambridge, MA. That alone made me
feel good. Boston people are smart
people. Boston has the best medical
doctors and hospitals. I know this first
hand as I was born there.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">My doctor did warn me that this drug could cause the <b>“Herxheimer effect”</b> which is described
as a reaction to treatment in which the symptoms of the disease get worse at
the start of therapy, a paradoxical sign that the infectious source of a
disease is under attack. Well, that held
true after taking the first round of pills.
The pain got worse.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">It was as though I could actually feel what was happening in my
body that the cause of the arthritis was being attacked and destroyed and
carried out of my system, and it is a blessing even though still in pain! It helps alot to know in advance what to expect instead of going into it blindfolded.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<i><span style="color: #010101; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Depression is a real part of the pathology as the pain and
crippling. Arthritics have a hard time
