So how do you like your eggs? Sunnyside up or not at all?

Gary — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:56:37 +0000

As if decades-long concerns about high cholesterol in eggs wasn’t enough, now we’re in the midst of probably the biggest egg recall in history. I’m sure you’ve read about all the fuss over salmonella risks associated with, oh, something like half a million egg this last week. So far I haven’t heard or read anything [...]

Medical problems continue to challenge our family

Gary — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:58:26 +0000

Medical problems related to my wife’s heart continue to challenge — or “plague,” depending on your perspective, I guess — our family as summer starts to cool and wind down. I doubt the hot summer we’ve been having had much to do with it, but certainly it’s easier to face daily or weekly crises when [...]

Autism rate in America seems astonishingly high to me

Gary — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:52:21 +0000

I was doing some research trying to understand more about autism, when I came across an article indicating that the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now puts the rate of autism nationally at one in 110 children. The article I read wasn’t exactly clear on what that number really means, but I [...]

Clinic studying weight loss surgery as way to control diabetes

Gary — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:57:52 +0000

I ran onto an odd story in our local newspaper, then found it on the Internet, which says the Cleveland Clinic is conducting a study as to whether stomach bypass surgery may make it possible for diabetics to control their disease without medication or insulin shots. The fact is, weight loss seems to always help [...]

Bringing old bodies back to some level of fitness

Gary — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:34:33 +0000

All right, I’ll admit it: I’m old, still fat, and still out of shape. But I’m working on it, and life gets just a little bit better every day. The significant thing, I’m finding, about getting back to a decent level of physical fitness, is probably the age factor. It seems a lot harder to [...]

Speaking of sleep, what sort of pillow best suits you?

Gary — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:56:52 +0000

I posted an article here a couple of days ago about the importance of a good night’s sleep. Thinking more about that led me to the number one “pet peeve” I have staying in hotels — the generally rotten, flimsy pillows they offer. (Maybe I just don’t stay in hotels that are high-class enough to [...]

Adequate sleep can make life much, much better

Gary — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:59:45 +0000

I’m sure you’ve heard this or something like it many times before: Getting adequate sleep (not just rest, but sleep) can make life much, much better for everyone. I can’t think of a month recently when I haven’t seen something online or on television about studies that show 1) most people (at least in the [...]

Hard to accept how long healthy recovery may take

Gary — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:08:45 +0000

I mentioned a few weeks ago about my wife having developed a heart flutter, and having been diagnosed with diabetes while she was in the hospital for the heart flutter. What I am just now beginning to appreciate is this: It takes a lot longer than she or I would expect to get well on [...]

Another ‘give me your opinion’ question for you

Gary — Sun, 30 May 2010 23:00:07 +0000

Once again, this is not any sort of formal “poll” — just a desire to get your opinion for my own guidance. Have you ever used — or perhaps are currently using — a diet pill or other similar weight loss aid? Do you believe it’s working for you, and if so, why? What would [...]

What happens to your skin if you experience major weight loss?

Gary — Sat, 29 May 2010 00:51:31 +0000

I mentioned the other day that I’m well on my way to losing the most weight I’ve lost in years, simply through my reformed eating habits and a bit more activity. But so far, I haven’t lost any massive amounts of weight, and I’ve got quite a ways to go before I hit any big [...]
