Another crap email received today from yet another yahoo.com.hk address.  I am just about ready to block all Yahoo email.  Yahoos, indeed.  Tell you what, Frank, take all that inheritance I’m missing and buy a cup of coffee with it before you crawl back under the rock you came from.

I am a Diplomat from the Caribbeans named Frank Chambers,mandated to deliver your inheritance to you in your country of residence.

Hardly a day that goes by that I don’t read of a law enforcement officer losing his life in the line of duty.  It can be dangerous work that goes from the routine to the chaotic in the blink of an eye.

We are in the midst of National Police Week and in a few minutes, at midnight, I’ll go outside and lower the flags in front of the house to half staff for National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day.  The sun will rise in the morning on those flags at half staff as it also rises on the thousands of graves of fallen officers.

This post is especially for the younger folks who don’t think much about being hospitalized because they think they are indestructible, or because they think it won’t happen to them, or they are just too busy to think about it at all, in spite of the reality that they are one slip on the ice, one red light runner, one trip on the stairs, away from exactly what I just went through.  My situation is caused by disease and aging and this was my fourth surgery.  Medical expenditures are not always the result of something that is under your control.

Baked Bean Diet Works Nicely For Nell

WHEN DOCTORS told Neil King tbat he risked bowel cancer be decided to change his diet and lose weight.

Tbe Essex man bas now lost 10 stone (140 1bs) in nine montbs - by eating six cans of baked beans a day.  King, 40, has munched his way tbrougb more than half a ton of beans in tbat time, reported the Daily Mirror.

Tbe mechanic serves tbem up for his breakfast, lunch and dinner and his weight has fallen from 30 stone in June to just under 20 stone today.

So I’m just wondering why my Caller ID shows “Restricted — number unavailable” when the VA calls with their electronic humanoid to remind me of an appointment…  Restricted?  Why?  Are people really going to try calling back to that Sci-fi voice to discuss the reminder?

And that would be the appointment for which I made a blood donation yesterday morning.  Well, it should be counted as a donation.  5 tubes worth.
