Ugh. I swear, I am positively afraid to step into the bathroom right now as I have desire to step onto the scale and check my weight. And since I happen to have a rather weak will, when it comes to refraining from critiquing myself, I know I won’t be able to resist the temptation. […]

Alzheimer’s (Alzheimer’s disease), a form of dementia, is a degenerative and terminal disease that typically afflicts those who are sixty-five years of age or older. However, there is a less-prevalent form that attacks those at a younger age. Alarming statistics state that in the year 2006, an estimated 26.6 million people were afflicted with Alzheimer’s. […]

After much consideration, I have come to the startling realization that sleep, at least for me, is indeed a risky activity and is not entirely good for your health.
Long fingernails are also just as hazardous.
Sometime in my sleep last night I sliced my hand up a little bit, took a nice hunk of flesh off […]

Thankfully, today is off to a good start. At this time yesterday I was rolling around in my bed, firm in the belief that I must have pissed off some divine being somewhere. The pain died down after awhile so I made my way to the computer to check my email, big mistake. The pain […]

We’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of rain this past week. In fact, just the other day Dona Ana country’s rainfall for the year tripled in a single day! That’s not really the bad thing though. Well, aside from the constant muggy feeling and the copious amounts of mud and standing […]

I still find it so amazing that I have my own pearl earrings!

These aren’t your cheap rinky-dink pearls either. These are real freshwater pearls from PearlParadise.com. As a kid I’ve had the typical imitation pearls on an elastic string, and I’ve had the costume jewelry earrings as well. I’ve […]

Here I am working my butt off to get back into shape, bicycling, exercising, taking walks, eating healthier (although I am still slipping in some junk food here and there) and for what? My mother, whose eating habits are worse than mine, is the one losing weight while I managed to gain a few more […]

Yup, despite waking up at fifteen till 7, and living a good half-hour away, we managed to get to the doctor’s office with fifteen minutes to spare before his appointment.
This was only made possible because I was doing 85 and 90mph on the freeway.
Anyway, they removed the catheter without any trouble and warned […]

So as you probably surmised from the post title, the doctor’s appointment was a bust. We went, spent thirty minutes waiting in the waiting room, ten minutes in the back waiting for the nurse to return to take my grandfather’s stats, then after she left we spent another thirty minutes waiting on the doctor.
Talk about […]

There’s a new sunscreen out there on the market right now, and to manipulate a popular cereal slogan, it is definately “mother tested” and “mother approved”1 The new sunscreen in question is called Screen, Inc. and it was developed by two moms to boot! Their slogan is one many should definately take heed to, especially […]

I just got back from the pharmacy a few minutes ago, I had to go and get my grandfather’s prescriptions refilled. His normal ones for his diabetes, not the ones that he just got on Sunday. While waiting in line I got treated to quite the show. Apparently some prescriptions have limits to how many […]
