Just thinking….

With Farrah Fawcett dying of cancer, it makes me think about cancer and that it’s such a horrible disease. One that we really need to find a cure for. In the area where I live, there is a lot of cases of cancer. My dad and father-in-law died from lung cancer (they were both smokers) but I’m all the time hearing of people dying from cancer. If you watch t.v. during the day, you get to see the commercials about Mesothelioma cancer and I didn’t even know what kind of cancer that was. So I did some researching. I found out that it’s a cancer associated with asbestos exposure and it can develop up to 40 years after exposure. Now that’s scary. I heard just last week that a rep from my work, her dad was just diagnosed with cancer, so I guess it got me to thinkling about it and what a terrible disease it is.

It’s Been A While…

02.6.2009 | 10:32 pm | General | Tags: , , ,

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here and blogged about anything. But my life’s been really hectic lately. I’ve been working on our taxes and tax stuff for my husband’s company. I’ve been looking for a part-time job since my hours have been cut back at work and we (Krista and I) have been looking at colleges. So we have been busy.

And then, last Friday Kecia (my pregnant daughter) started having some problems with her pregnancy. James took her to the ER (it was after hours) and they were told that she had a urinary tract infection but everything was okay with her pregnancy. But when they went in Monday for her regular prenatal appointment (the second appt.), an ultrasound revealed that the baby had stopped growing at about 6 1/2 weeks (her first prenatal appointment, she was 6 weeks) and that she would soon be miscarrying. So this week has not been a good one. She had another doctor’s appointment today and they said that she had passed everything and won’t have to have a D & C. So that was some good news. Kecia has told me that after she has a negative pregancy test and the doctors tell them that it’s okay, they are going to try to get pregnant again.

So all in all, life’s been hectic with some really sad moments but it will get better.

Wanted: Weight Loss

01.11.2009 | 2:24 pm | General | Tags: , , ,

Yes, I know I have blogged before about losing weight but it is so hard to do. I tell myself I really need to try to start eating healthier and exercising more, but that obviously is too hard to do too. I have all the Weight Watchers books and point counters and several years ago I lost some weight with the program. Maybe I should try it again. The other day, some ladies from work and I were looking at the acai berry and colon cleanse supplement pills and on this website there was a woman from our hometown that was saying she lost 47 lbs. in 3 months with them. But do they work?? And then there’s Fenphedra on another website with people there saying that they lost 12 lbs in 3 days. But does that really work?? And the most important question is, ‘Are these products safe?’ I don’t want to take something that will cause me health problems in the future. I’m going to keep researching and until then I’m going to try really hard to eat healthier and get more exercise.

Insurance…Life and Health

11.26.2008 | 5:05 pm | General | Tags: , ,

A friend of mine that got laid off from her job recently is in need of some life and health insurance. The problem is that she has had some health problems in the past few years and having a hard time finding some insurance. She can get health insurance through her former employer (until she finds another job) but it will be very costly, at least she will have some. So right now she is definitely in need of a no exam life insurance and hopefully something that she can afford. I keep hoping that she will find a new job soon and maybe these worries will end. So if anyone has some suggestions of insurance possibilities, let me know.

Thanks!
