			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone knows that healthcare costs in this country have risen dramatically. While those who can pay for it don’t seem to mind too much, many are stuck with a huge burden. While the government fights over who will pay for healthcare, many people go without due to the costs of treatment. </p>
<p>I hope our government will find a way to give care for everyone in the country. It may costs more in the short run, but I think it will be good for us all in the end. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a member of Bally&#8217;s and I really like going there. The gym is a relaxing place for me to work out and de-stress on the weekends. I get piece of mind by setting my home alarm system from <a href="http://www.home-alarm-systems.com/">Home-Alarm-Systems.com </a>before heading out the door to the gym. I love to take the yoga classes and the pilates are also a great relaxing work out.</p>
<p>I have a very stressful job and I need all of the relaxation I can get. The gym has a certain hum to it that really clears my mind and lets me forget about work and all of the other stress in my life. I used to go for long bike rides to clear my mind, but this is so subject to the weather that I now mainly just head over to Bally&#8217;s.</p>
<p>If there is not a good class going on, or if I miss the start time I usually stroll on the treadmill or go on the stair stepper. I try to keep it super low key and not get too heavy on my legs. I really don&#8217;t want them to be bulging with muscles, I just want to relax.</p>
<p>My work outs have also helped reduce my tension headaches and I really don&#8217;t take any <a href="http://buddyhead.typepad.com/">medication</a> for them at all anymore which saves me tons of money every month.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I happened to visit a hospital the other day. A friend of mine had to go in for a checkup and I offered to give her a ride. As you may imagine, I had to wait awhile for the checkup to be done and I happened into a conversation with one of the nurses. I had noticed that she had on nursing uniform scrubs that looked really nice. She also had on a scrub hat that was very colorful.</p>
<p>She told me about how every doctor and nurse had to purchase their own uniforms. She said that most of them use a site called blueskyscrubs.com that sold them. They had a wide variety of <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/">medical scrubs</a> for both men and women. They were a quality product and everyone liked them. She also liked the fact that <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/">buying scrubs online</a> was quick and easy. The prices were reasonable and the uniforms were delivered to her home.</p>
<p>Our conversation finally ended and I sat alone. While I did, I pondered the different uniforms and hats everyone was wearing. I saw how wearing uniforms made it easier to identify who was who. The colorful garb also made the hospital seem just a little bit friendlier. I guess it’s a good that uniforms are required for people like this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my next door neighbors did a really stupid thing last night that was almost tragic. He was trying to start a small black Webber grill on the grass by the pool, and he used a big plastic can of starter fluid to soak the coals.</p>
<p>Now, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that if you do it right. You are supposed to soak the coals before lighting them. But the coals didn&#8217;t seem to be burning hot enough to suit him, so he squirted more starter fluid on the coals after they were already lit. I saw this from our balcony and was freaked out. The flames ran up the stream of starter fluid and got into the can he was holding, and it exploded.</p>
<p>Thank God no one was badly hurt. His face and arms are a little burned and it singed his chest hairs. But that&#8217;s the worst of it. He got lucky.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were all sorry to hear about the recent earthquake that devastated the country of Haiti. I was glad to find though that help is on the way to these people who are in desperate need of help. Agencies and organizations from all over the world are joining together and sending aid to the country. I am proud of the efforts by individual citizens of the United States that have given money to the relief effort. </p>
<p>I hope that everyone will continue to give the funds necessary to help rebuild the country as well as provide relief for the people who need it the worst. It’s hard to believe that such basic items such as water can save the lives of thousands of people. I pray that every citizen of Haiti will be able to overcome this tragedy.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I am reaching a certain age, I have begun to find that my body is not always up to the challenges that I would like to think I am still capable of. While I do take care of myself and am physically fit, I have found that I am not as young as I used to be. That’s why I have begun considering whether or not to <a href="http://www.ukmedix.com/viagra/">buy Viagra</a>. It seems like I am admitting that I am getting old and I am not comfortable talking about it with my doctor.</p>
<p>I looked around online and found that I am not the only one who may need help with their love life. There are plenty of other people who suffer from the same condition as I. One person that I would have never thought would be in this position was Enrique Iglesias. It turns out that he doesn’t care if people know of his position on the subject.</p>
<p>Another star that I never would imagine having to use this medicine was <a href="http://www.ivillage.com/simon-cowell-not-rep-viagra-0/1-a-27438">Simon Cowell</a>. It turns out that the popular host of the show American Idol was recently offered a large amount of money to endorse the product. While he turned down the endorsement, I do wonder whether or not he is still using the product! I guess I’ll have to make my own decision on whether or not to seek help with my problem, but it sure is nice knowing that I am not alone!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was sorry to hear about the deadly earthquake that hit the country of Haiti this week. It turns out that no one really knows the amount of people who were killed or wounded and authorities fear that the number may be as high as 500,00. The magnitude 7.0 quake flattened houses, schools, and government buildings without regard to who was inside or out. </p>
<p>The International Red Cross is hurrying aid to the people and is asking for emergency donations from everyone to help the victims. I plan to send in a check tonight and hope that everyone else will do so as well. In the meantime, I hope that everyone will send up some prayers for the people who are suffering!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that we’ve been hearing about is the Chinese who are sending us items that contain a high amount of lead. Since our government has taken control and outlawed the substance being used in the items we buy all the time (Children’s Toys) the Chinese have ceased using the dangerous metal. The problem is that they have switched from lead to Cadmium.</p>
<p>Cadmium is just as deadly as Lead. It is a toxic substance that can slow the development of learning and can shorten a person’s life. Since the ban on lead, experts have noticed an increase in the use of Cadmium in toys manufactured in China. I hope that China will soon realize that America is serious about protecting our children’s health. I call for the end of the use of Cadmium in children’s toys!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been some debate lately over who will protect our oceans. A recent die off of nearly 8,000 birds off the coast of Washington state has renewed the debate. An alga appears to have caused the deaths. The algae may have been caused by run off waters that contain fertilizers and other chemicals.</p>
<p>As usual, back in Washington D.C., the senators and congress are trying to get their act together. So far, little has been done to put together some kind of oversight to protect the waters that we all depend on to live. I hope they will be able to put aside their differences and find a way to work together so that we can enjoy our oceans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s been nearly six years since my mom retired and moved to Florida. She loves the weather there and has many friends. She says she’ll never move back up north. I think that is great for her, but we worry about her a lot as there is no one in the family who lives anywhere nearby. Her health is not what it used to be and she has some trouble getting around.</p>
<p>We struggled to find a way to maintain her safety while still allowing her the freedom of living alone. Luckily, we found a system called Life Alert that could help. Mom has had many troubles with her hip. It causes her some pain and limits her movement. She finds it difficult to sit in a chair or even get out of one. She has fallen more than once and was lucky a neighbor checked on her.</p>
<p>I decided that getting her the Life Alert system would be the best option. It has many features that I like. It can be used in any home and can detect when someone has fallen. That way, all she has to do is wait for help to come. Life Alert also has a smoke detector and big pushbuttons that can be pushed when help is needed. I feel so much better now that mom has this technology to help protect her. I know that she will enjoy her remaining years in Florida.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that is very important in this life is how you look. It affects nearly every aspect of your life. It reflects how people feel about you as well as how you feel about yourself. That’s why you may want to consider having Cosmetic Surgery done as a way to improve how you look and feel. It has become very commonplace these days and is an effective way to build self esteem.</p>
<p>Due to the natural aging process, many people suffer from various conditions that can be corrected. A simple operation such as a face lift may enhance the way you appear to other people as well as giving you a feeling of confidence. It is well documented that how you look can have a great effect on how you feel.</p>
<p>One thing that is very important is to be able to trust that your surgery is done by a professional. You have to be sure that you are in the hands of a reputable and experienced person. I think a good place to start your search would be to check out a site called mya.co.uk. They have a lot of useful information that could be of help with your decisions. Check it out when you get a chance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The push by the Obama administration to enact a health care bill goes on. Despite the many set-backs they have encountered, the democrats are pushing to have legislation ready for the president to sign. The delays are causing some consternation for some, but hope is still high for the bill.</p>
<p>I think that I can speak for many Americans when I say that it’s high time to do something about the situation. In our day and age, we should not have to worry about going to the hospital. As it stands, I would face economic ruin if I get sick. I hope the congress and senate realize the gravity of the situation!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to report an amazing thing that happened to me today. There is some construction work going on in front of our office. I was walking out in order to go to lunch. The workers were grinding some metal and the chips were flying about. The wind was up and I walked by without notice. The bad part was that a metal chip flew into my eye. I knew what had happened right away.</p>
<p>I spent the rest of the day trying to dislodge the chip. No matter what I tried, it wouldn’t budge. I finally had a friend drive me to the eye doctor where I had it removed. It cost me $25 bucks but was worth every penny. I had thought about suing the company that was performing the work, but decided not to as it was just bad luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Obama administration has been pushing for a health care package to be completed by August. This deadline is in jeopardy. With republicans in the house and senate pushing against the bill, their stalling tactics have slowed down progress. As of now, no one knows when the bill will be completed.</p>
<p>I think it is a sad day when people block progress for the sole reason of political gains. There are millions of people in need of health care and the government should provide it for them. I hope that the republicans will get their act together and get with the program!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every once in awhile you hear a story that is just plain crazy, I heard of one this week. S&#038;V Technologies has decided to custom build contact lenses for animals. The company is using new technologies to develop contact lenses for such animals as giraffes, kangaroos, and sea lions. The animals benefit with a better quality of life.</p>
<p>One of the problems they encounter is that each animal has unique problems when they are being fitted with the lenses. The operation to put them in can be lengthy and dangerous. So far there have been few mishaps. The good news is that the company is making money and the animals can see life through new eyes.</p>
