Kdogg the trick to eating in peace, when you have kids is to sneak out and eat when they aren't paying attention. Also good for teeny white lies. My son used to ask why he never saw me eat veggies. I told him I eat before he does. That part was perfectly true.

These are excellent ideas!! Thanks DD

woke up to 50 degrees and an expected high of 60 i wish i could say it feels good but i was up half the night with a reaction to either my flu shot or pneumovax sicker than a dog.

I've never had a reaction this bad before. plan for the day? curl into a fetal ball on the futon and try to outlive it.

Try Benadryl. Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, my father and all his siblings died from cardiac issues!

It is a bit hard to tell in my Family. All of those that died of cardiovascular issues also smoked.

I am starting to believe that smoking and not genetics was the biggest factor

Yeah. No kidding somewhere around 35 pounds. Problem is he's so darned cute when he does it. Unfortunately I have welts and scratches, not to mention bruises all over my chest from his enthusiasm. He's starting to run in, run towards me and when I hold my finger up to him, give him the 'mommy' look and tell him no, no, he sits down in front of me and waits for me to invite him to put his front lets up on me and give me a smooch. That plus our Spotty dog has taken a decidedly firm hand or in her case mouth in correcting them. It kicked in after the last time they went after the cats. It was like she is saying "I'm tired of this crap! BEHAVE!" Now she stands in the utility room doorway and barks her head off at them. Nobody jumps over the gate when she does that.

She gets a little extra biscuit in her bowl for her efforts.

He sounds like a smart one!

You'll pardon the pun but there has long been a smoking gun linking tobacco and heart disease.

Benadryl? I'll try it cap, thanks for the tip. I loaded up on Tylenol and ASA and feel about 25% better. I got the Pneumovax in my right arm and the flu in my left. My right deltoid is swollen and painful. Overnight I was running a fever that dragged on till morning, all of my joints ached, muscles ached and I was so dizzy that I thought I was going to have to wake up DH in order to get back to bed. I guess there are two different Pneumonia vaccine. One is a 23 and the other is a 13....bet I got the 23.

Regarding smoking.We just got word that a dear friend was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in July, then fell and broke her hip last month. Yep, she was a smoker and 81 years old.

We actually had patients tell us that their doctors told them NOT to stop smoking as it would kill them.....where do people get this crap!? More than that they really thought we fell for it and believed them.

The closest to the Dr. telling them that quitting smoking would kill them was my Grandma Mae. She said her boss told Her to start back up smoking because it messed up her voice on the phone. She was a switch board operator at the time.

She had COPD and died from an aneurysm.
