Hmmm, there's Bob.
I haven't seen him in a while so I think I'll go over and talk with him for a minute.
"Hey, Bob!
How's it goin'?""Well let me tell you Gene, things have never been so good for me.
Last year I started my own business and within nine months had made over two hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
Two hundred and fifty!
Can you believe that?
Well, since I was doing so good, I went out and bought a brand new house up in the new Elite Subdivision by the lake.
Got a heck of a deal for it, too.
It was originally going for one point four ? that's as in million ? do you believe that? -
but I was able to con them down to only one point two.
Remember, that's million, right?
Can you believe it?
Then Linda says to me, "Bob, we really need to get at least two new cars to go with our one point two million dollar house."
So I said "Sure, why not?"
And the very next day we went down to the Special Car dealership ? you know the one I mean, right?
And we picked out one of those Super Deluxe SUV's ? you know the one I'm talking about, right?
But I tell you what, we got one heck of a deal!
Yep, turns out the owner of the dealership has the house right across the street from our new one and because we're neighbors ? can you believe that? ? he cut us one heck of a deal.
He also personally ? you hearing me here? ? personally wrote out the special order for our new Special Deluxe convertible.
Had to pull a few strings at the factory to get it on the assembly line but hey, it's not what you know, it's who you know, right?
Then since we were right down on Snob Row, Linda and I figured we might as well just cruise into the Deluxe Speedboat dealership and you wouldn't believe what we got.
You know that special, blah, blah, blah??"Wonder what I did to deserve all that?
Oh yeah, I did ask him how it was going, didn't I?
Remind me to not do that again.
Oh hey, there's Helen!
It must be at least five or six years since I talked with her.
"Helen!
Helen!
Hi ? how are you?""Oh, Gene!
It's good to see you again.
Gene, you won't believe what I've gone through since we talked at the ? where was it now? ? I just can't seem to remember things anymore.
Anyway, had I had my hysterectomy the last time I saw you?
Golly, it seems so long ago and yet it really wasn't.
Did I tell you what happened right after that?
Gee, it was sooo bad!
What happened was that I got a really bad infection ? yeah, right there ? so I went back to this SOB that cut on me and told him flat out to his face that this really bad infection was all his fault and that he had no right to even be practicing medicine much less cutting on people.
Of course, he denied right then and there that any of my problem was his fault.
Pompous ass!
I don't know who he thought he was because anybody with half the sense God gave a goose would know that any time you have your baby-maker torn out, any infection ? and you know where ? after that obviously is because the doctor screwed up something during the operation.
What an idiot!
I mean, yeah, he offered to do an exam on me to check things out but I told that SOB that he wasn't laying his fat paws on me one more time and the next thing he'd be hearing from me would be through my lawyer.
Well, I tell you what I did then.
I marched right out into his big ole fancy waiting room with all those sick people sitting there and ? God's honest truth ? I told them all exactly what happened and that they'd better not go through that door into one of his special little rooms or they'd wind up just like me.
Oh, and have I told you that last year, I was walking up the steps into the mall and slipped on something and fell right down in front of God and everybody and they had to call the paramedics and they checked me out and found out that blah, blah, blah?"Sure, I know that folks like Bob and Helen are on this old planet for a reason and maybe it's to learn that they have a lot left to learn.
And maybe there's a lesson in this for me too.
Maybe it's tolerance.
Maybe?.
Understanding HIV and AIDS
HIV and AIDS are some of those diseases, where precaution is the best treatment. Let's go exploring.
HIV
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus. It was first discovered in early 1980s. It affects a type of white blood cell (T Cell). Once this virus enters inside the body it completely covers the T Cell and start making a number of copies of itself.

Allergies and Hearing
When you think about health and nutrition, it's important to be aware of how various foodstuffs affect your wellbeing.
It's quite amazing just how many allergens there are in a well balanced diet. Things like gluten in wheat breads and cereals, lactose in uncultured dairy products, mono sodium glutamate in tomatoes, - I'm sure you can think of dozens ? that can turn your life upside down.
Allergy has been called the great masquerader because it can contribute to and mimic many illnesses that we do not typically associated with allergy.
I have a particular interest in issues surrounding hearing, and in the fact that there may be allergies involved with some conductive hearing losses.
Conductive Hearing Loss results from problems in the middle ear, known as Otitis Media.
Middle ear infection is extremely common and very few children never experience it. Otitis Media can be painful, but is usually short term &...

Acne and Green Tea
Green tea is used by the Chinese as a traditional medicine to treat many ailments including acne and to improve general well-being. But does it provide an effective herbal alternative to modern medication?The answer seems to be ?Yes'.
There are only two herbal treatments that are known to be effective in treating acne and green tea is one of them.In a recent study by Jennifer Gan-Wong, M.D. a green tea cream was trailed against a 4% benzoyl peroxide solution on people suffering with moderate to severe acne. The results from this research study showed that green tea was just as good in treating acne as the benzoyl peroxide.But benzoyl peroxide dries out skin causing itching or allergic reactions.
Unlike green tea that has the added advantages of natural anti-bacterial properties and antioxidants, particularly epigallocatechin gallate which is 200 times more powerful than vitamin E at fighting free radicals. Green tea also helps to reduce inflammation, hormonal activity...

What L Glutamine Powder Can Do For You
L glutamine is an amino acid occurring abundantly within the human body. This acid L glutamine is important for overall well-being and bodily health. Also available in supplement form, l glutamine powder is readily absorbed by the body. When extreme muscular stress occurs, the need for l glutamine can exceed the systems ability to synthesize and produce enough l glutamine. This lack of readily available l glutamine can cause mental sluggishness, physical exhaustion and mood swings.
Many immune cells are reliant on l glutamine for their energy requirements and a lack of l glutamine could result in an impaired immune system. Cells within the immune system depend on l glutamine to provide the metabolic fuel necessary for their proper functioning. Although adequate levels of l glutamine are usually maintained by the bodily system, these l glutamine levels could be depleted by infection, injuries and surgical procedures.L glutamine levels present in the body fluctuate all the time...

A Look at Vintage Hawaiian Shirts
Hawaiian shirts are anything but new. They first got their start in the 1930s when clothing manufacturers decided to produce a cloth and design unique to Hawaii. The original popular shirts were printed on heavy silk and became popular as Hollywood stars wore them in both films and to events, such as movie premiers. Not everyone could afford heavy silk, however, and many high-quality shirts were printed in rayon and cotton as well. Because these shirts have been printed for over 70 years, there...
