I thought that was *only* clean your ears with your elbows…

That's what my doctor said.

Damn, all my life I've living a lie!

I can't even post my reply in the right spot.

It's terrible for your health and the country.

Norovirus and other cases are surging and we know how well the orange bawbag dealt with Covid, so my advice is to mask up if you have to go out—and wash your hands often!

I’m just a registered pharmacy tech so that’s as specific as I can get.

I actually do still mask unless I'm only going to be in the place for a minute.

I get a lot of stares.

Not looking at you weird.

i don't know about people sometimes.

I'm thinking that the next time I get a stare or comment, I should say that I have some horrible, contagious disease so I wear the mask to protect others.

Haven't decided yet which disease to claim while standing close, but flesh eating bacteria has occurred to me.

Any other good disease suggestions?

I just say my leprosy in kicking in and they back away. *Cough*

at the grocery store. The only time I got a weird look was a few weeks
before the election when a couple of clods wearing MAGAt caps gave
me a dirty look. Now, with RSV and avian flu cases increasing in the
county we're going to keep masking.

I wouldn't worry about bird flu. Not yet, anyway. It still does not pass from person to person, only from animals to people.

I'm almost 74 and my wife has asthma.

Then smell it.

Would that work? because that's what I do.

Go Lions!

Ever.

Wait till spring.

and my finger smells like flowers.

pick your friends' nose.

When your nose is runny

You might think it's funny

But it's snot

if you do, DON'T smell it.

(this is a good workout routine, but only if you hold your breath when your elbow gets close to your nose)

by trying to put your nose in it.

where the yellow light gets you so excited that you leave a yellow stain in your shorts. That's where the medical advice would come in...

Try again, True Dough.

for LuckyCharms laundry detergent.

"My clothes come out of the washer clean because they went in clean due to my water consumption. You can't possibly drink that much water so buy LuckyCharms laundry detergent."

are you going to be consuming this with your water? I'd recommend the liquid or the pods, in case the powder doesn't dissolve very well.

The pods are a little hard to chew.

Well, I'm not sure if you will continue to have any taste left at all after swallowing some liquid detergent. Good luck though!

It's terrible that they spell Plumr that way. Think of all the future tradespeople who will be led astray! Call the Clorox company with your complaint, Marthe. We need to get critical mass to change that!

Clorox might change their name to ClorX. Real 21st century

don't complain. Send your CV and see if they'll hire you as their marketing manager!

So move every day. Something as simple as walking 3-5 miles does wonders for overall health.

Eliminate (ideally) or limit processed foods. Eat foods as close to nature as possible, ie, apples come from trees, apple pies come from a factory, steaks come from cows, Big Macs come from a factory.

Sleep and stress management should be priorities, along with hydration from good clean (not tap) water.

Hope your yellow light is lit.

Does blinking your eyes count as movement? Because that's pretty much all of the movement I can handle.

I just close my eyes and pray.

Sometimes we even pray for it.

Blinking is not enough.

Even easy walking, from the front door to the mailbox and back, is a start. Working up slowly to as much as you can do. Even walking around inside the house, or getting up from the couch and sitting back down.... My parents are in their late 70s now and their movement is also limited. But mom gardens on the back patio and dad walks a bit on the treadmill when he can. Not as much as I'd like to see them do, but its something at least, and they're from the generation that believes malaise and injury "are part of getting old" (that's not correct).

Anyway, start slow... Anything help. Good luck! I wish you the best.

Reaching for the yellow light…priceless! It’s the little things that count! Love to you! 💗💗🙏🏼💐

I think it would be alright if I remember to poke a hole in it to breathe through.

You didn't take me up on my offer.

today I feel like I need some bubble wrap protection! In case SAMSQUANCH shows up at my door!

Hi Niagara!

Hahaha!

Love that multitasking ! 😁💗💗

a big fat joint should fix it right up!

what the devil wants me to do, and I don't listen to the devil!

Usually.

But he’s so fun and always has the bestest ideas!

He can be a real bastard.

I melt it & mix in nuts, cashews in half & pistachios in the other. 😋

as good or better than codeine.

Should I adjust my blood pressure medication?

Is connected to the foot bone or some codswallup....

future's so bright 🌞 you're gonna need shades 😎

my teeth sparkle and go *bing* when I smile?

lol one thing at a time with this old(er) brain

My teeth look like Chiclets.

I can't see your teeth from here

Meaning...

Summer teeth...

And some aren't.

I bet you have a million of them, jokes that is

All natural Magnesium creams and lotions work wonders. Honestly.

for me. Hope it does for you 👍

DAMN STRAIGHT!

You may get a serious case of Dunning-Kruger effect. Ask John Roberts.

…or is it the other way?

I did 4 years ago. Wish I'd done it sooner. Better for you, the planet, and the animals whose lives are a horror. I have learned so late in life that there is no difference between the animals we love and the ones some people eat. They all love, hope, grieve and experience great joy.

Daily is best.

Generally stick to medical professionals or sources not directly peddling stuff. A peresonal favorite origionally written by a MD, Nurse-Nutritionist team

Prescription for Nutritional Healing, Sixth Edition
A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs, & Food Supplements

By Phyllis A. Balch CNC

Forth or fifth edition likely a better value. This book waljs the line and balances sound medical advice with solid complementary nutritional advice. Her decesed husband, was the coauthor of most of the editions.

Good Morning

It DOES NOT taste like lemons. Trust me on this one...

Lots of Tea.

There You Are....

Always....

And Forever...

my 1st thought is, what stupid thing did I say last night that I will regret? Sometimes I wait days to click on it.

The only way you can get it fixed up
Is to go trudging across the tundra
Mile after mile
Trudging across the tundra
Right down to the parish of St. Alfonzo...

Obesity and Cancer: A Current Overview of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Outcomes, and Management


You don’t have to wait until it comes on the news or you read about it in the newspaper or somebody posted on Facebook. You can go find out yourself. This is part of our abundant inheritance, the legacy we have inherited from the generations before us as Americans and I pray to all good that it is protected.

That is my advice.

I have to win this game, come on people. To quote the Hungarian auntie in a Jim Jarmusch movie- I ham the weener.

Abstract
Simple Summary
Obesity has been linked to several common cancers including breast, colorectal, esophageal, kidney, gallbladder, uterine, pancreatic, and liver cancer. Obesity also increases the risk of dying from cancer and may influence the treatment choices. About 4–8% of all cancers are attributed to obesity. The underlying mechanism of obesity causing cancer is complex and is incompletely understood. Lifestyle changes that include diet, exercise, and behavior therapy are the mainstay of interventions. Drug therapy and weight reduction surgery result in a more rapid weight loss and may be used for a subgroup of cancer survivors with obesity. This review highlights the epidemiology and the risk associated with the development and recurrence of cancer in obese individuals and the management of obesity.
Abstract
Background: Obesity or excess body fat is a major global health challenge that has not only been associated with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease but is also a major risk factor for the development of and mortality related to a subgroup of cancer. This review focuses on epidemiology, the relationship between obesity and the risk associated with the development and recurrence of cancer and the management of obesity. Methods: A literature search using PubMed and Google Scholar was performed and the keywords ‘obesity’ and cancer’ were used. The search was limited to research papers published in English prior to September 2022 and focused on studies that investigated epidemiology, the pathogenesis of cancer, cancer incidence and the risk of recurrence, and the management of obesity. Results: About 4–8% of all cancers are attributed to obesity. Obesity is a risk factor for several major cancers, including post-menopausal breast, colorectal, endometrial, kidney, esophageal, pancreatic, liver, and gallbladder cancer. Excess body fat results in an approximately 17% increased risk of cancer-specific mortality. The relationship between obesity and the risk associated with the development of cancer and its recurrence is not fully understood and involves altered fatty acid metabolism, extracellular matrix remodeling, the secretion of adipokines and anabolic and sex hormones, immune dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Obesity may also increase treatment-related adverse effects and influence treatment decisions regarding specific types of cancer therapy. Structured exercise in combination with dietary support and behavior therapy are effective interventions. Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues and bariatric surgery result in more rapid weight loss and can be considered in selected cancer survivors. Conclusions: Obesity increases cancer risk and mortality. Weight-reducing strategies in obesity-associated cancers are important interventions as a key component of cancer care. Future studies are warranted to further elucidate the complex relationship between obesity and cancer with the identification of targets for effective interventions.
