Today I was reading an article on the Time.com website that a study done in England has concluded that aspirin 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!

Their prices certainly seem reasonable enough, and they have a good shipping and satisfaction policy.  I think I’ll order one for myself and see if I notice any difference in how I feel!  Sometimes I wonder if these things “work” because of the placebo effect, so I’m always curious, yet cautious.  What is your experience?  Do you have any magnetic jewelry?  Has it improved your life?

There is a vast amount of information on everything from aging, to reproductive health, to women’s health and a lot more.  I told her that it should answer the questions she may have forgotten to ask her doctor.  You know how that is, you get into the doctor’s office and you have a slew of questions you thought about before the visit, but you end up forgetting half of them and then remember after you have left. They even have information on the health and well being of your pets!!!!

I have to admit that the movies really was a great movie. And I have decided to make my very own bucket list. One of the things that I’d like to do is take roping lessons. Just for the heck of it! What kinds of things would you put on your bucket list?

When I was taking college courses a few years ago I did take one course in marketing, and found it to be fun and interesting.  Something that I think that I would enjoy learning more about!

Unfortunately I keep hearing on the news about how most of the local brick and mortar colleges are drastically increasing their tuition rates, so I am going to look at online degree programs in marketing to see if I can just do it all online.  I’m beyond the point of wanting to live in a dorm with a bunch of rowdy teenagers, and I just want to learn my stuff and market myself into a marketing job! 

After all, I think that sales and services are the two areas where employment will continue to grow.  And I’ve always had good luck in any job that involved sales.  Maybe with a degree in it I’ll be able to get a better paying job!

I realize that there are a lot of possible answers, and the most controversial ones have to do with slavery and racism. I try to stay away from discussions about race, as I don’t have the same prejudices that many of my friends seem to have. We were in my family raised to be accepting of l people, regardless of the color of their skin. So to hear people disparaged based on the color of their skin or their culture makes no sense to me.

Needless to say, my friends were not happy that I refrained from participating in this discussion. I did read the other people’s answers and have to admit that they were very discouraging.

There are some great shows on cable TV about cooking, so I think it would be a good idea to devote at least one a week to watching a cooking show and expanding my food preparation skills. I also want to expand my knowledge of vegetables. There are so many different fruits and vegetables in the grocery store produce section now. I don’t even know how to prepare and serve half of them! First I need to learn how to select the right one, when is it ripe? Do you peel it or not? Discard the seeds or not? There is so much to learn!

Two of my friends from when I was growing up have reconnected on Facebook. Of course, I am friends with both of them. But there is all this drama now – with nasty comments going back and forth between them. I am not happy with this recent development and don’t want to be a party to either side in silly arguments. I hope they find a way to resolve their issues and get back to being friends.
