As fast as technology is changing, I seem to notice that there are more options “out there” in regards to computers and their peripheral equipment.  There are so many different products out there that it gets overwhelming at times!  And I’ve found that often times when I try to find out the answer to a question I don’t understand the “lingo” that is being used.  Sometimes the answer confuses me even more than the question!  Sometimes I just get tired of having to try to learn all of this new “stuff” and I’d appreciate getting a straight answer without having to learn a “new language!”  I guess I’m just not a big enough computer geek to understand a lot of that.  And that bothers me a lot, because I don’t like to feel stupid!

The Answers Portal is a website that I found that I have bookmarked for future reference when I have a computer related question.  What I like about this website is that it is a FREE reference that answers questions about computers and the related technology in easy to understand language, so I don’t feel even more confused by the answer than I was by the question!  The site is designed to be understood by the novice, yet is sophisticated enough to help the consumer that is already computer-savvy.

For years I’ve been hearing on television shows, and from my own doctors, that taking one low-dose aspirin a day helps to prevent heart attacks.  For the most part I haven’t taken aspirin at all because it irritates my stomach.  It irritates my stomach BIG TIME!  And I know that the so-called “prevention” factor is that it acts as a blood thinner.  Ibuprofen ALSO acts as a blood thinner, and relieves my headaches better than other pain killers.  I tend to take a couple of ibuprofen almost every day, so I figure that the advice to take one aspirin a day really does not apply to me.

Today I was reading an article on the Time.com website that a study done in England has concluded that aspiring does not reduce the risk of heart attacks in people who are prone to be diabetic.  Well, I think that news is going to shake up the medical community!  I wonder what I’m going to be hearing on the television news (and from the doctors) NOW!
