So, this sunday morning on my way home I was listening to a radio show on teen drug use. They had experts, head doctors, DEA guys, recovered addicts, parents and more talking about how to recognize, treat and help those who are abusing drugs. Many of the experts were talking about the use of medical drugs with addicts, adderol, ritalin, oxy, and so on and so on. The opiod drug abuse was directly linked to the rising heroine drug use. As I listened to the experts explain th

Ok, here is one of the best life lessons I can give you. Never Fart In A Wetsuit! So, lets explain why I love this pic and the lesson it can give us. Obviously this isn't real, but there are some things in life that we just must learn on our own. We can be told countless times to not do something by our parents, teachers, friends and family, but inevitably we LEARN the why we shouldn't do it, by, you guessed it, doing it. Now I have not scuba dived, I have worn wetsuits/dr

Yep, that is how the body works. Anything else you want to know??? LOL Ok, so yes, every cell, tissue, organ and system in the body is controlled by the nervous system, what does that exactly mean? Lets start with your brain, the most important part of our body. We can't live without a brain (ie. braindead) and our body put the most bone around it for protection too. The brain is where the messages are sent to the body and received from the body via the nerves. Now thi

Today I started training for a HUGE goal for next year. Last month I turned 47yo, my weight was 233lbs, blood pressure was a little on the high side also. I wanted to make some changes and set a goal. Today, May 22nd, I stepped on the scale and it read 197lbs, first part of my goal accomplished, so I moved onto the second part of my HUGE goal. To bench press 405lbs by my 48th birthday next April. So, my goal is to bench press 405lbs while keeping my weight UNDER 200lbs. I

The story below I posted years ago, and I think its time to bring it back around again. "There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier

Ok, sometimes I just have to rant. This morning at the gym, talking with one of my workout buddies, he mentions how much money his wife owes in co-pays. Goes on to tell me that his wife has been receiving test after test for the past 5 months due to a variety of problems. They end up at Mayo in Rochester and its determined that all of her symptoms/problems were a result of the Influenza vaccine she received 5 months prior. All the test, the money spend and owed, for what? Now
