Some things have to be seen to be believed...

I know that there are owners out there that will walk their dogs on a treadmill, however, how these people got their cats to cooperate is beyond me!

Enjoy!

Here's something to think about...

As I sit here and listen to the evening news, my heart breaks and goes out to Jennifer Hudson and her family. May she get all the love, comfort and support she needs in her hour of crisis.

This incident, a celebrity in the news due to a family crisis, reminds me of Dennis Quaid and his family and the tragedy that befell them not so long ago with the twins and the over dose of Heparin that was given the newborns.

Both of these incidents became national news, why? Is it due to the tragedy surrounding why it's newsworthy? Or is it because of their celebrity?

I wish my memory were better so that I could be certain in my facts as to what hospitals were involved, however I do recall being outraged by the fact that not one or two infants suffered from Heparin overdose in the Indianapolis area hospitals, but six. Not a multiple birth situation either, but six different families were affected by this. Why is it then that the manufacturers' of Heparin only changed their labels when a celebrity became involved? As a nurse, we're human, we make mistakes, yet when a celebrity is involved, that nurse becomes Satan's sister and is forever maligned in the media for a mistake that anyone could make. So the error that is made is equal regardless of who the patient is, however it's because of celebrity that it's now newsworthy and everyone knows about it.

In south Chicago, gunfire is commonplace, as one neighbor of Jennifer Hudson's mother pointed out. He said and I paraphrase "Gunfire is something we hear all the time, we've stopped bothering to call the police". How sad is that? Here are people like you and I, trying to live their lives day by day in an area that has that level of violence in it. Parents probably terrified to let their little ones play out in the yard for fear of drive by shootings, yet, when gunfire is heard, the same parents are apathetic to pick up the phone to make a call? Tragically, you have to wonder then, how much difference would that call have made? Is that why they aren't bothered to make the call? Or would they just then be constantly on the phone?

I firmly believe that if people spent more time invested in their neighbors and neighborhoods, family and schools and a bit less time on the things that bring on apathy, the tragedy that Jennifer and her family must now face would be less common than they are now. Believe me, when apathy sets in, many more people than celebrities are affected.

After all, there are more "commoners" who face this sort of tragedy every day.

Yet sadly, it's not national news.

My prayers go out to The Hudson family. Take care and be well.

Things I hate...okay, really dislike alot # 192

I hate it when I sneeze then feel queasy after. I hate to puke.

If you've got the time and need a good laugh...

This is quite possibly one of the longest reviews I've ever read, but having tried so many different exercise DVD's and VHS tapes, I certainly understand being hesitant in shelling out more money for a new routine, then I found this review.

It remains to be seen if I will again shell out the cash for this in hopes of being forever transformed, but damn, it's good to see I'm not the only one out there laughing at myself!

It's all in how you phrase it...

Go ahead, laugh...
