HEALTH BLOG, CANCER VERSION

My youngest niece is starting a health blog. During her cancer treatment she posted updates and concerns for others to heed. She was inspiring, an inspiration for others to take care of themselves. It’s good to have another blogger in the group. If she asks her Uncle David for advice, this is what I’d say:

MAKE MONEY, BE STRONG, THEN WHAT

A life goal is to make money? If that’s the goal, and you accomplish it, what kind of a life to you have? Now you can relax and slow down? That’s not what billionaires do, so why would you?

HEALTH PLAN? WHERE TO START

One health plan: don’t get sick. After that it’s a roll of the dice. But chances are pretty good you will come down with something, hopefully not THAT something, the devastating something that shakes so hard that all of the leaves and nuts and fruit fall off your tree. With that in mind, let’s start […]

SUN SCREEN? “BUT IT’S SO MESSY.” SO IS SKIN CANCER

It’s not always pretty, but there are […]

PRESIDENTIAL VOTE SINCE 1900, DAVID’S VERSION

The presidential vote is tricky to gauge. Some of the guys from 1900 on are cloaked in the fog of history. While this isn’t some kind of ‘last word’ on the subject, it is a reflection of the voting mood. Sometimes you just don’t know how things will turn out.

DAMAGED MEN DON’T ASK FOR BAND-AIDS?

Damaged men are all around, but you’d never know it. Why? Not because they tell you, because they don’t. In a show and tell world, they do the show part better than the tell part.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE? A REVIEW

A healthy lifestyle doesn’t start after you recover from a dreaded disease. Some people take illness as a reminder to step up their health routine, some ignore the whole thing. Which one is the right response? Both work, just one better than the other. But there’s that other part.

BLAMING SOMEONE ELSE WHEN IT’S YOUR FAULT: WEIGHT GAIN

Blaming someone the right way takes special care. It takes practice. Conversely, accepting blame also takes practice. One is easier than the other. Take the top pic for example.
