Fools Rush In
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

SUNDAY TALKING...
I have experienced three heart attacks. Today awakened with a very sore left arm and chest pain. These are symptoms they talk about on TV all the time that tell us we should try to get to hospital or call 911 for transport to the emergency room. This just does not feel like the other three. Sitting at my computer contemplating this dilemma a rather large belch occurred and all is well. That took care of the chest pain but what about the left arm pain...suddenly remembering my flu shot this week in my left arm. Did you all know that I am a hypochondriac? The used to be a television show called MARCUS WELBY MD and after watching it the same symptoms from that show would hit me the next morning.

DID YOU KNOW...
THE CASHEW SHELL IS POISONOUS
Cashews are never available to consumers in their shells due to the toxic nature of the cashew shell. Cashews are a member of the same family as poison ivy, Anacardiaceae. Like poison ivy and other members of the family, part of the cashew plant contains an oily chemical called urushiol, which can be fatal if ingested. The irritants are found in the shell oil but not in the nuts themselves. To ensure safety, cashew seeds must undergo a high-temperature roasting process to eliminate the harmful urushiol oil before being made available for consumption.

Pistachios Can Spontaneously Combust
It turnd out there's a price to pay for how tasty and nutritious pistachios are: Under the right circumstances, they can spontaneously combust. Everyone’s favorite shelled nut is especially rich in fat, which is highly flammable. Thankfully, that only becomes a problem when pistachios are packed too tightly during shipping or storage. It’s important to keep the nuts dry lest they become moldy — but if they’re kept too dry and there are too many of them bunched together, they can self-heat and catch fire without an external heat source.

Monk who claims he saw the face of Jesus in his tub of margarine said, “I can’t believe it’s not Buddha.”
Friend: What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done?
Me: Awfully bold of you to assume I’ve peaked.
Me: I’m not saying a word without my lawyer present.
Cop: You ARE a lawyer.
Me: So where’s my present?!

What you don't know won't hurt you...???
I believe that I have mentioned my recent coughing syncope. It happened while driving and only blanked me out for a minute. That was enough for me to awaken in the oncoming traffic lane, heading for a ditch. Thankfully no cars were in the oncoming lane.
My children learned of this error and insisted the information be shared with my doctor. He received the news with great concern and began requesting a load of tests for me. All but one has returned with no problems detected. However a Holter Monitor was prescribed for me. It was worn for 48 hours and returned with no results. As second monitor was prescribe for another 48 hours. Something disrupted the Holter and nothing was seen so a third monitor was prescribed.
Results from the third monitor were never reported but I was mailed an e-Patch Holter to wear stuck to my chest for 14 days. At least I may shower with this one and it does not have the wires the other had. I am confident the results (if any are ever reported) will be good.
I keep cough drops next to me in the car and at the slightest feeling of a cough coming on, one is there to stall off a syncope. Thankfully I have excellent insurance...hum could that be the basis of all these tests???
