Words to Ponder
We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering.
-Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
To know a person's religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance. -Eric Hoffer
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow. -Anaïs Nin
Obesity Tsunami
More than half a billion people, or one in 10 adults worldwide, are obese -- more than double the number in 1980. Obesity-related diseases account for nearly 10 percent of U.S. medical spending or an estimated $147 billion a year.
Except for smoking, obesity is now the number one preventable cause of death in this country. Three hundred thousand people die of obesity every year.

I did not know that was what that word meant, so you have taught me something new today! I thought it meant something else. I thought it had something to do with curiosity! Don’t know quite why. Possibly because of the “quer” at the beginning reminds me of “query.” By the way, I had forgotten I had given a copy of the post “Mother Isn’t Coming” to a site you might be interested in looking over, if you don’t already know about it. (http://thewomenscolony.com) I received an email from someone who read it this morning. I didn’t know they’d used it. But there it is on their site today. I believe it is in the section called “The Confessional.” Also, I’m awaiting the two books about mothers I ordered from Amazon.com earlier this week. They’ve been shipped. Will discuss with you once I get it and read some. Have a good day.

Brenda thanks for the link! Nope never heard of the site but I did check it and bookmarked it. I’m not surprised they used your post, it’s very good. I will be going back to read more stories.
God, the weather has been just gruesome this spring!
Laoch, hasn’t it though! And the upper respiratory viruses have been the worst I remember in years! My daughter and granddaughter are both sick again, seems like they’ve been sick on and off since January.
Ohh I am quite Quarrelsome at times. I can with with the best of them, especially on a rainy overcast day. This weekend we are happy though, as you know. You visited Chihuatude and know why we are happily anticipating newborns. No whining today or for the rest of the weekend, LOL.
Opps, that was supposed to be whine with the best of them.
We’re fortunate here.. sunshiny weather here, getting warmer every day. Thursday in the 80′s! *S*
Hope the weather there gets better Elaine.
I like the term, querulous, but I don’t like whining! Not to say I don’t engage in it once in a great while. Hope your weather turns brighter soon.
We’re on our 3rd day of wind, rain and grim, overcast skies.
I’m feeling a bit querulous, and more than a little whiney.
But it sounds like the frogs out there are happy.
