I've heard that this can happen but never actually heard anyone dying from their tooth being infected. I know it affects the health and that's why it is so important to have dental care. But for so many who have nothing, it is such a horrible situation! It's horrible that in our country there has to be a choice between deciding whether to eat or go to the doctor, or get your health taken care of . Some people are likely to blame the mother as to why her child die. From what I've r...

Sneezing....so many times.......nose dripping....frustrating.........sniff, sniff....blow...wipe.....{like you really needed to read that uh?!} Eyes are swollen, itchy, red.....rub...rub...rub....til they hurt...hurt...hurt! Headache.....my head hurts! I can barely open my eyes and the sun is coming through my window...glaring at me.....wondering what I"m doing at the computer instead of being out in the sunshine! Allergies.....that's why!!! The SOB is back and it's gott...

Binge computing.....that's when you sit in front of your computer for hours on end, without moving, without physical activities. Who amongst us can say they are not guilty of this? I can honestly say that I have done it, time and again. Just sit there at my desk, at work or home, my eyes glued to the computer screen. That is not good at all. At home my hubby would get on my case, or the kids, cause they do it too, telling us how bad just sitting in one position for more than three hours ...

I had a big smile on my face when I saw this ABC News Good Morning America video report! The foundation of Christopher Reeve and his wife Dana, are making great progress in helping people with spinal chord injury walk again. This video showed the story of a little boy, Chase and also a lady (I forgot her name), who are both walking because of the help they have received from the Reeves foundation. They both didn't live long enough to see this, but I'm sure they would be absolutely ha...

I did the required blood work on Monday. It seemed so long ago that I went for my physical but it was two or three weeks prior to that. I got the call from my doctor that everything was ok! I was glad to hear that the fear I had about being diabetic was for naught. Just because my dad had it doesn’t mean I have to as long as I take good care of myself. My thyroid is fine which good news it is to hear too. At my age you hope to hear that your body is not as bad as you think it is! ...

After taking a shower, a warm one to iron out the kinks in my body and wake me up, I dried off and stepped out onto the mat. I didn’t have the hot water on too much yet my mirrors were quite fuzzy and I could only see the outline of my body and face. I took a closer look and realized you know, if I could only look like that I would be drop dead gorgeous! I’m curvy and all I saw were curves in all the right places!LOL! I didn’t’ see the belly fat, or the cellulites or the rolls in m...

I can't tell you how many times I'm up late because of one reason or another. Most times it's because it's the only time I do get to myself to really unwind and catch up on a few things I need to catch up on. There's peace and quite, or at least the lull of snores throughout my home! After awhile though I'm kaput and it's time for me to catch some Zzzzs. I will admit that I'm a night owl, thus I usually don't go to bed too early. I also am not a morning person, unless I have to be, it ...

My seven year old has Strep throat. She was diagnosed at the doctor's today.  Her fever is very high, I hate that part because it is difficult to keep this under full control. One minute after taking the Tylenol, it wanes, next she's very hot all over again.  She'll be home for two days, and so will I.  I hate when they get sick.

I recently had a tetanus shot given to me during my recent check up because my doctor realised that it's been more than 10 years since my last shot. So just in case of any accidents etc., having a boost was good for me! I can have a booster shot in my doctor's office, in comfort, even though I probably didn't need it. There are little children, and women globally who are dying because they can't afford to get one of those shots! Nightline featured Salma Hayek , who has...

I can't believe that people have nothing better to do than go crazy over what Jessica Simpson looks like now.  Gone is that really thin size 0 (I'm guessing) body that she was to wear those Daisy Dukes. The poll that Showbiz Tonight did 82 percent said it wasn't OK for people to criticize Jessica, especially in the manner they did, really bad some people! 18% said yes, they have the right to criticize her!  Public figure aside, that kind of attention is definitely very bad for an...

I just finished watching Dr. Oz' makeover of four different people.  What a difference just taking a few minutes per day to take are of yourself makes! These individuals had one thing in common, stress.  Familial, work, health, financial, it didn't matter from where, it all added up to one thing, stress. Stress is really a big factor to everyone and that is something that almost anyone can relate to! Each of them began to exercise, then make better choices in eating.&nb...

I have always wanted to take CPR but  have never gotten around to it, all these years.  Ever since giving birth, I was always afraid of not being prepared were something to happen that would require me to give my child/children mouth to mouth, thank heavens, knock on wood...nothing! I am able to take the class because of work and jumped at the opportunity.  My son did a class this week via his high school and that is good that they offer that!  I had forgotten that my ...

It comes at moments I least expect, gripping, delibitating pain, and I go into a fit of squeals and axxiety I have not known since childbirth!  I wonder to myself if this is something really serious?  Or is it just a case of me getting old?  Or is it the family genetics finally catching up with me? Whatever, I don't know and I won't know until I get checked out by a medical professional.  Truthfully, I am a bit scared because I don't want to hear that anything is seriously...

I read this article today on MSN's MoneyCentral.msn.com .  The one thing that ran through my mind ad I read it was, are they suggesting that America's problems is because of fat people?   So maybe I'm being a bit sensitive.  After all, I fall into the category of the 66% overweight people.  I admit it and there is no shame in it!  I'm actively working on that situation I'm even prouder to say!   According to Shirley Skeel, the author of the piece I...

It's been a trying week for exercising! Somehow, Monday and Tuesday were totally out! Wednesday, I got my mojo back, determined to continue what I've started and did the deed! Thursday was fine. Working out 30 mins after work, a combination of weights, jump rope and my Performance machine! Friday, no dice. I got home late, took my son and daughter to get Chinese and to the Game Stop. Today I had planned on getting an hour in but hubby had to go to the dentist and that took up ...
