Seems as if everyone in town has come down with a stomach virus this week! So far no one in my household has caught it, but I suppose it is just a matter of time before we catch it too. The other day I was watching a young mother in a pharmacy dragging her sick children around the store, killing time while their prescriptions were being filled. The kids were touching all kinds of things throughout the store and the mother was putting them back on the shelves. I remember thinking about how the innocent person who comes behind them and buys those items are going to be exposed to whatever illness the kids have! Isn’t it awful, to be thinking of things like that?
Bob called me up last night and told me that his father just passed away. He’s known for a long time that he has been ill, and the day has been coming. So he’s going to be moving to Lexington to be near his mother. She’s getting up in years and he wants to be closer to her. So he’s contacted Chapin Real Estate to help him find a place to live. He doesn’t want to move in with his mother; he knows that the grandchildren would just be too much for her. So he’ll be looking for a good price on Chapin Homes to see if he can accommodate his growing family along with the budget restrictions!
It wasn’t very long ago that I heard that asbestos is still actively mined in some countries. I think I was told that Canada is one of those countries. I’m not sure if that’s true or not, but I was certainly surprised to hear that because asbestos is so closely linked to Mesothelioma Cancer. When my wife was working for the phone company, one year her boss put her in charge of an OSHA inspection that included inspecting the building that she worked in for asbestos. That was when she learned that exposure to asbestos could cause Mesothelioma.
Since then we’ve learned a lot about how millions of people suffer, and die from that horrible cancer. I just can’t imagine that any country would allow mining of asbestos to continue! But apparently asbestos is found in lots of things – from insulation to car brakes! I would think that the scientists could come up with a different product that works as well with fewer health hazards!
I do like my chocolate, and when you throw in some peanut butter, all the better for me. I always have a bag of Reese’s Pieces close by to munch on. I just saw on TV that they are coming out with a dark Reese’s peanut butter and chocolate candy bar. I prefer my milk chocolate, but am always willing to try something new, besides they are now saying that dark chocolate is good for you.
The statistics are indicating that more people are in need of a good quality Private Alcohol Rehab center these days. With the economy in the toilet more people are turning to drugs and alcohol to ease the pain that has been dumped on most of us. The crime rate is on the rise as well due to the economy in crisis. People are getting desperate and we all know that desperate times call for desperate measures.
Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers are opening up all over and doing a booming business. Dr. Drew and his Celebrity Rehab show on VH1 brought the light to a whole lot of people who where and are in need of a good Drug and Alcohol Rehab. It isn’t just our celebrities that are struggling with addiction issues and problems, but seeing them through their struggle was the incentive that a lot of people needed to step up to the plate and get treatment for themselves, pretty cool huh?
The Internet is a great tool to find the best treatment centers and I would urge anyone to take a look around and see what is out there if they know of someone who needs treatment or if they need treatment for their own addictions before it is too late.
