bonny, on the aspirin/heart disease prevention thing: the American Heart Association (and I quote) "recommends aspirin use for patients who've had a myocardial infarction (heart attack), unstable angina, ischemic stroke (caused by blood clot) or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or "little strokes"), if not contraindicated. This recommendation is based on sound evidence from clinical trials showing that aspirin helps prevent the recurrence of such events as heart attack, hospitalization for recurrent angina, second strokes, etc. (secondary prevention). Studies show aspirin also helps prevent these events from occurring in people at high risk (primary prevention)."
The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends aspirin for men aged 45-79 and women aged 55-79, as long as the prevention of heart problems outweighs the risk of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. They do NOT recommend preventive aspirin for men younger than 45 or women younger than 55.
Thanks! I've been working hard.
Well, you look fantastic. I was going to start listing everything I like about that picture, but it's too much.
In Seattle more than 98% of the cute boys are straight?!
I'm a horrible snob. More than 98% of the gay men in Seattle are huge walking silk purses. They open their mouths and yards of SALMON CHIFFON pour out and all over me.
They make excellent friends and boon companions for going out - but not what I would be attracted to, or would cause my head to turn.
So yes, alas - what I'm generally attracted to lives on the other side of the fence...and they're generally not 6-pack men, either.
Blast it all.
Me right now!!
Most foamy, indeed, Aims!
I am now with my writing tribe. We have broken in the bar (as opposed to have broken the bar-- that'll be by Thursday, at the latest). They make the Good Captain and Diet Coke with more Captain than Coke so I am, as they say... tipsy.
Goooood bartender.
and they're generally not 6-pack men, either.
Well, not many of them are, and really I think in the end it's a fair trade. Love my hubs love handles and all, even think he's gorgeous to boot.
It's almost time for Aims' movie. I saw all the kids lined up camping out yesterday for it. Our theatre sold out. It was so cute. Wish I could go.
