Det, the 'kids' are losing their fuzzy cuteness & growing feathers!
I try not to worry myself sick about the future for my kids & grandkids where the government is concerned. That's one thing I know I can't control

bear, hope you are OK. Sounds like you are hanging in there!

Pauly, magnesium & calcium work better when taken together. You could possibly be throwing yourself out of balance, especially with Slow Mag. Did you get that OTC? It used to be a Rx medication we used in the hospital.

It's past 8:30 pm & I'm still in my shop working

Hi October sober squad

Mid semester break, so I'm cutting myself some slack and reconnecting with the wit and wisdom of the mwouters.

Glad you enjoyed your time in the mountains, TT. If it's the same glacier, I took the helicopter up to it (spur of the moment thingy and not dressed for walking,so it seemed like a good option, plus the pilot was soooo handsome :H)

Glad to see rabbits doing well Mick and the jokes still coming!
Lav - you're going to be inundated with eggs next year! Hope all the grandkids like them!
Sam - thanks for the pic - it was some time before I realised there was a cow in the chute!!! Guess the farming life's not for me!
Hi Det, YaH, SF,AFM, Samstone, Pauly and Bear. Great to see everyone doing so well.
PPQ - where are youuuuuuu?!

Lav....I have seen it stated that stress is at the root of 90% of all illness. Any wonder why heart attacks go up on Monday. Some Mondays I wish for a heart attack.....so I can go to the hospital vs. work

TT....I agree on so many things being out of our control, but in reality many of those things were always out of our control. 24/7 on call.....I was on the phone with a client until 9pm tonight!

YAH....I would suggest a coaching series for corporations on how to not stress their employees out....and watch profits grow. Tackle the problem. And their ROI would be through the roof. My company sent us all stress balls for Christmas last year....I am not kidding. This is a huge major corporation.....and they just invested in some on-line program for employees to do yoga and meditation videos. Nice...but, does not tackle the real issue.

Det....watching the government here is watching a train wreck. Its not what they are leaving behind for our children....it is what they are teaching them. Spend, spend, spend.....and live in debt.

Since the world isn't going to change on my account.....it is my life and I need to identify the stress and how to let it roll of me....especially the work stuff.

Also....there is a great TED Talk about stress and how we view stress.....and how our perception of stress effects whether you die or not. Real Stats. Also, a great one on "motivation" in the work place.....and how corporations have it all wrong....again, backed by stats. I've been tempted to post that one on my FB page....where my managers continually re-friend me...after I accidentally have deleted them from my page
