^ Wow, they're really spreading the manure thick.

One think, I like much in the last time:
Dropping some (pure) eucalyptus oil on my neck, before going to bed or whenever I like in the evening. It's nice!

I have not to deal with insomnia, but I can imagine, that this could help people.

I've never had insomnia.

This is a good general article about the progress made in “the war on cancer.” I remember that, when I was young, cancer was practically considered a death sentence. It was something that you whispered about.

I've always liked that type of music, even though it doesn't always relax me or calm me down. Thank you for sharing!

I now watched some of all these ambient tracks, but this is my favorite, when it comes to bamboo flute. It seems to be the most relaxing.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR/PR) is a good way to relax. Short courses are widely available and you can easily pursue at home, wide range of guides available through all usual sound/music channels.

Etta James or Billy Eckstein with a tumbler of Wild Turkey 101 poured double shotgun over rocks.

 

[Turnip]

Yes, Sir, Eckstein rocked! Especially their Nr.5

Tztztz, kein guter Staatsbürger….

Sorgt Rauchen doch für Deine staatsbürgerlich optimierte Kosten-Nutzenbilanz durch erhöhte Steuereinnahmen zu Lebzeiten und Entlastung des Gesundheits- bzw. Pflegesystems durch sozialverträglich frühes Ableben…

My father too, and a grandfather, a grandmother…

I smoked about 30 years and joined the full cancer harbor boat tour, just pinching my butt was missing…

But even at healthiest possible behavior you’ll though die one sunny day, just at healthiest possible condition…and having caused way higher costs to the social system developing all those wonderful geriatric diseases a smoker, drinker…usually doesn’t grow old enough for.

Naturlich aber ich bin optimistisch. I have been pronounced dead, survived a war, several major operations,
and last November 4th suffered an ischemic stroke that left my right arm and leg partially paralyzed.
Currently staying with a sister and taking in patient therapy. Since my care is covered by insurance
under the federal employee plan, which I contributed to for twenty years, society isn't footing my bills.
As to mortality, as a combat veteran I came to grips with this a very long time ago.
You roll the dice and take your chances. And destructive behavior like cigarettes I always eschewed,
though I admit to a fondness for beautiful women and Kentucky bourbon. Neither of which is a vice.

Merry Christmas my friend.

As the prophet Morrison once sang, "No one here gets out alive". I just try to live my life and cause as little collateral damage along the way as possible.
