Elaine I tried to leave you a reply at your other site, however I don’t know if you got it or not.

Those chickadees sure are tame & the weather has been so great this year…

How lovely! I love watching the local birds. We have a bird bath outside of our living room window, and the thirsty birds come in a gorgeous array of colors! But none have ever eaten out of our hands!

That’s wonderful, Elaine. I have mostly chickadees at my feeder this year. They’re very friendly. Maybe I’ll try to get one to land on my hand some day.

I think it has to do with the invirorment that the young grow up in to-day , because of so many problems on the streets these days you cannot let your kids go out and play like we did when we were kids, there fore they get a lot less excerise and are stuck in the house after school while their parents are at work, with nothing to do but eat and play video games, however their parents could stop buy the junk food and make available more healthy snack with half the calories, although junk food is probably a lot cheaper to buy. I don’t think it is much fun being a kid to-day.
PS: any sports the kids want to do to-day also cost a lot of money to join a team and some parents just don’t have the extra cash, In my day the kids had free skating, baseball, basketball etc.

Comment on Third Young Adults Lack Health Insurance by Cilicious

I work with a young man my son’s age, 26.
His first two years with us, he had zero health insurance. He just had to try to stay healthy, which isn’t easy when you work with kids every day. He has risen in the ranks and I think he finally has *something* now.
My son in Paris the last two years, has been fully covered the entire time.

Perhaps if the people would listen to Obamas health plan to cover all Americans with health insurance the numbers would be reduced and people would not have to suffer in the States…I could not believe my ears when on an American channel they were saying how much health insurance cost……perhaps the the republican senitors should appoint some one to help the sick people who can not afford insurance to put them out of their misery.
Americans the most looked up to land in the free world just does not have any care about their own people, and is the only Country that allows so much suffering to the poor………

Comment on County Health Rankings by Ferd

Our county ranked #20 in North Carolina, but at least it was in the top 10 percentile. This was interesting!

Comment on Strokes On Increase Among Young by Ferd

Ferd — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 04:02:07 +0000

Sad but true.
Even though they say it’s uncommon, stroke in young people is not rare. Maybe it’s because I work in Long Term Acute Care, but I see way too many young people and young families devastated by it. And yes, they are all obese, and with the usual mix of the other risk factors: diabetes, HTN, smoking, high cholesterol, and often alcoholism as well. So the saddest part is that this is largely preventable!
