First I must have a PET Scan to see if there are any other tumors hiding. Then Surgery is scheduled after the first week of April. Being Jewish, I want to experience one more Passover Seder on the 29th of March — it may be my last. It is my heritage and the food is gluttonous.

I will be Hospitalized for four or five days to recuperate. It will hurt 3 or 4 weeks as if I had broken a rib but the Doctor assured me he would keep me medicated and he offered a Nurse to come and clean and bandage my chest while I heal.

I asked the Doctor what the chances are that it could be malignant and he said 50/50.

That is the latest health news I have.

I am taking this very well. I am sleeping well and I am in really good spirits. I am very calm about the entire ordeal. This must be due to the vibes sent my way. I do not fear death. It is a means of ascention for me one way or another. I am only anxious about pain and suffering if I survive.

Z.L., Soon we will probably laughing about the entire situation. Then you and your ‘Super Kids’ Yoga Class can be proud of a job well done.

HOWIE

Marie, I always read your quips from ‘Disorder in the American Courts’ some I’ve heard before but the above one made me laugh out loud. Years ago, a boss where both my boyfriend and I worked came up to me all frustrated and said, ‘where’s Mark?’ I said, ‘I don’t know it wasn’t my turn to watch him’ he laughed, calmed down a titch, but was in a hurry and asked, ‘well when was the last time you saw him and what was he wearing?’ : ) I said, ‘a half hour ago in bed and he was naked, and yes, we were both late, I just shower faster.’ My band of kindreds who overheard were all laughing too hard for my boss to get too angry…

Nelson, hey I’m not a calorie counter and I seriously eat well but when I look at a cookie box I just calculate how many calories are kin the whole box and work backward from there, I’m so not into deprivation and it takes all the stress out of the sitch.

Joel, great article and this I have researched bc I as a female with needs have a vested interest in this ; ) get your Vitey D (sun, no sunscreen for at least 15 min a day, an hour is fine if you have olive skin, and in winter supplement with lemon flavored cod liver oil), exercise is always good for the libido but I will suggest this: take all the L amino acids (look em’ up, L-argenine, L-taurine, etc…) and they are all sold together as a powder and in tablets also, take in between meals (empty stomach) and you’ll be too busy getting busy to even write in here. Check it out, I do my research…and I wouldn’t want any male suffering from all the bs side effects that accompany viagra and an older gent at the gym told me his cialus works well, um, yeah, not sure why he decided to share that info that day but hey…whatever…

Anonz, sweet pea, been thinking about you out there and in danger and not sure you’re even able to check in here at this point but I’d like to apologize for what I said a few days ago re: if I were a bills woman I’d have made it happen (a meeting between you and I) by now, yes, well the truth is, I probably would’ve and it might’ve put you in danger, so obviously you are much more caring in that way and so I’d like to just say that…I’m sorry. Btw, I’m no poet but I am still your sweet Lilly, and the Lioness has spoken… : ) God, I love that.

Viv, listen whenever things slow down for you, you know where I am, you can enter my dreams and pretend your Anonz again anytime, you can file an exit report as VivAnonZen : )

Oh btw, yersterday while I was procrastinating I thought to myself – you really should get on the phone, nobody’s gets business knocking at their door, 1 second later I got an email ‘you don’t know me but I heard great things about you from a friend who said you can dress me better, can i come over and shop?’ (hmm, let me think – YES!)

Misch, left you a vmail, tag: you’re it!

Oh Howie, did your tumor shrink or is it gone altogether or am I having a high hopes for the ‘intention experiment’ moment? Hey to Al also…the kids are stoked that you’re having 8 hours of sleep, I suggested it in there for me, and guess what, 6 nights in a row now, going for a week…I am truly amazing on real sleep, so much energy, have to keep this up! I love it!

It is 80 degrees and gorgie today, going to get my kid and go blading, get some vitey D! Luv, Zen Lill

The Irish used to say the best cure for a hangover was to bury the poor, pained victim up to his or her neck in moist river sand.

??With St. Patrick’s Day almost here, we have to give some respect to the Irish when it comes to drinking. But when it comes to curing a hangover? Not so much.

??Of course, river sand is clearly an old folk remedy… but it’s much harder to sort truth from fiction with modern hangover cures and beliefs.

??Take, for example, newer alcoholic drinks that come infused with hangover-fighting nutrients. The idea is that it’s somehow safer to overindulge in these… or at least be easier on the body the next day… but that remains to be seen.

??In any case, you probably shouldn’t be picking your drinks based on any supposed nutritional benefits or additional vitamins. After all, drinking is by itself a healthy activity – as long as you choose your booze in moderation. Once you cross that line, though, you’re risking a rough morning-after no matter what you drank the night before.

??But since many people know that and enjoy a good bender every now and then just the same – especially on March 17 – here are a few tips to help you get back on your feet the next day:

??Start with your vitamins… especially the B complex, potassium and vitamin C. You can add more vitamin C throughout the day until you feel better. All three of these essential nutrients help you to rejuvenate more quickly… and replenish what the excess alcohol stole from your body.

??Plain old water is one of the best remedies for hangover, since dehydration goes hand-in-hand with crapulence. Some people have a glass of water for every couple of stiff drinks they have throughout the night. Just be sure to keep drinking the water long after the last call for alcohol and throughout the following day.

??Sleep is also a great hangover cure, but only if you can snooze long enough. Since your body’s metabolism slows during sleep, a short rest can do more harm than good – so try not to drink heavily when you have to wake up early. But if you can doze well into the morning (or longer), you can buy your body some precious recovery time.

??Once you’re up, eat a good breakfast – ideally a BLT with a Virgin Mary. The potassium in the tomato juice, carbs in the bread and protein in bacon can all help speed the pace of your recovery. One British study last year found that the protein in bacon is quickly converted into amino acids, which then replenish the neurotransmitters depleted by your binge.

?If you don’t have any tomato juice handy, try a potassium- rich banana.

??There are a few things that definitely won’t help – like burying yourself in moist river sand… or gobbling down painkillers. No matter how bad the hangover feels, drugs like aspirin and acetaminophen won’t help the situation.

Alcohol can even intensify these meds – making the side effects worse and further stressing your stomach and already overworked liver. ??A cup of coffee is a great way to start most mornings… but not the morning after.

Caffeine won’t help sober you up and won’t help you fight a hangover. Like alcohol, caffeine is a diuretic… and as I mentioned earlier, one of the keys to recovery is keeping that water in your body. ??

Finally, the best way to avoid a hangover is to skip the alcohol altogether… but where’s the fun in that, right?

Peter now we have the government doing what you have been asking for since I starting reading this blog.

Federal Delegation Coming For Close Look At Guam’s Infrastructure Needs
Guam – A high level White House Delegation is coming to Guam next week to look at the infrastructure needs related to the military buildup.

Among those accompanying her will be representatives from U.S. EPA, and the Department of Defense, Agriculture and Interior.

Let’s hope that they mean business.
