and it may be TMI for some. Take your chances. I've had plastic surgery. Believe it or not, I have. I have always been, shall we say, well endowed. As I aged they to be more and more of pain in the back. So I finally convinced my insurance to cover it and I headed off to visit a Plastic Surgeon. It was one of the best things I've ever done.

Now the Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery is much swankier than where I went. They have the latest techniques for procedures including tummy tuck (I'd love to have that), liposuction ('kay, that scares me a little :), and others.


Seriously though, plastic surgery has place. I don't agree with people who have all kinds of procedures done just to have them done or suit their vanity, but plastic surgery can be a real life saver. If I had not had my reduction I know I wouldn't be doing some of the things I do now. My daughter had augmentation because she was lopsided. She couldn't buy a bra that fit and shirts looked funny on her. There is a time and a place for everything, even plastic surgery.

I've never had plastic surgery but I'm supportive of people that do! I've always thought of breast reduction surgery, especially after a child and getting older. I need to get to a normal wt and then decide. Ya, a tummy tuck might be in order too if this tummy won't go away when the wt is gone! The price is a lot so we'll see in the future or I'll just live with it. Wouldn't it be great to be totally happy with our bodies? That would be awesome.

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
