EXPERIENCE: HOW TO TELL ONE THING FROM ANOTHER

March 26, 2018 by David Gillaspie

1. Visual: one is different than the rest. 2. Material: one is man made. 3. Use: one is decorative. 4. Location: chickens are world wide.

WEAPONS FOR HOME DEFENSE: WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

March 23, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Home defense begins in the home, but you knew that. The real question of weapons and home defense starts with location, location, location. I met a Portland man who bought a former crack house. Customers who didn’t get the press report on the crack wire crawled through his windows for a year. […]

DIVORCE NEW NORMAL: “WAS IT ANOTHER GUY?”

March 15, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Older people, a goal baby boomers are moving toward at hyper speed, have heard more joy and heartache than anyone else. We’ve got at least ten thousand hours in each encompassing most every possible outcome. At recent bar stop I learned a whole new take on divorce for modern times. It came […]

GUN TALK THE WRONG WAY … AGAIN

March 14, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Raw Story posted a gun column about white men and guns. It was the sort of gun talk white men with guns shouldn’t identify with. “White men stockpile guns because they’re scared of black people and feel inadequate, science says.” That’s the rawstory title. It’s raw, but even more, it’s lazy, but a site called […]

HPV AWARENESS DAY STARTS MARCH 4, START WALKING

March 4, 2018 by David Gillaspie

“Love is everywhere, unfortunately so is hpv.” That’s the message on the first HPV Awareness Day, and from the looks of things, a message that is taking root. It didn’t resonate with me in years past, not when I learned more about hpv and the numbering system, like hpv16. Not even last […]

NORMAL TO NEW NORMAL A SHORTER WALK

March 2, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Exercise geeks always have something wrong. Not the biggest complainers in any room I’m in, but it’s always something. Why? Because small nagging aches and pains are proof of a finely tuned machine. Like a racehorse where every muscle glistens down the backstretch. Or a fastball pitcher, guys who look like their […]

HPV16 TONGUE CANCER HARD TO UNDERSTAND? HOLD MY BEER

March 1, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Hpv16 tongue cancer is hard to understand, but only if you look at the numbers. From cbsnews.com: Eleven million American men are infected with oral human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cancers of the head, neck and throat, a new study reports. That equates to 1 in 9 […]

NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIANS KNOW NUTRITION FIRST

February 27, 2018 by David Gillaspie

My wife shared a joke with me. She’s a naturopathic physician, Dr. Gillaspie. It had nothing to do with the old television show with young Dr. Kildare and his colleague Dr. Gillaspie. “Early in our practices doctors from my class would talk about what it must be like as an RD, a real […]

KA-BAR TO THE RESCUE AGAINST BEARS AND OTHERS

February 7, 2018 by David Gillaspie

One of the benefits of being an Armed Forces veteran from the mid-70’s is the ability to relate to other veterans, to show respect for their service today. History is full of great moments of grace and dignity, pomp and circumstance, but veteran to veteran isn’t about a parade, or acknowledgement. Getting […]

WORLD CANCER DAY DIFFERENCE FOR EVERY CANCER TREATMENT

February 6, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Everyone is different. How different is the question. And the answer? World Cancer Day is one of the differences. Some embrace it, some ignore it, while still others share. Call this a share.
