Great quote Deb... you are really good at this. And the Monday quotes keep us from endlessly blogging on the same thread.
Starting in late October, I start my new class, ECommerce. It's all about setting up Websites and Blogs so I should be able to spruce ours up a bit.
I took Lauren back to the doctor and she was wheezing so now we are on an inhaler and Singulair for the rest of allergy season. Also zithromax so it doesn't turn into pneumonia. Deb, thanks for the air chamber... she does better with that. Just one question, do you do two pumps and then have him breathe or do one at a time and have him inhale.
Molly has run away again. She really is missing this time - since yesterday morning I was hoping that the dog warden had her but we just called and she is not there and no one has called. She had her collar on and the fence is working so I don't understand what happened.
Last time she was found on Turkey Roost...but she also was found once going the other way on Hammertown. Who knows where she could be by know... or if she even survived the night. Ed always said she was cayote bait and I have heard them howling in my backyard.
The answer to counting points forever. Sign me up....
New surgery tests as good as bariatric
BALTIMORE, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. medical scientists say a new minimally invasive surgical procedure tested in pigs has yielded results as good as those from bariatric surgery for obesity.
Johns Hopkins University researchers said they achieved significant success in suppressing levels of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin in pigs by chemically vaporizing the main vessel carrying blood to the stomach.
The procedure involves threading a tube through a large blood vessel near the pigs' groins and into gastric arteries supplying blood to their stomachs. Then one-time injections of saline were made in the left gastric arteries of five control pigs, while in the other five, one-time injections of sodium morrhuate, a chemical that destroys the blood vessels, was delivered.
The team found levels of the hormone in the treated pigs were suppressed up to 60 percent from baseline.
Bariatric surgery, involving removal, reconstruction or bypass of part of the stomach, is effective but also carries substantial surgical risks and complications.
"Obesity is the biggest biomedical problem in the country, and a minimally invasive alternative would make an enormous difference in choices and outcomes for obese people," said Dr. Aravind Arepally, who led the research.
The findings appear in the online edition of the journal Radiology.

Because it is in the chamber two pumps are fine at one time. The chamber keeps the meds from escaping.

Deb - keep your eyes open...
Where does she usually go?
Last time she was found on Turkey Roost...but she also was found once going the other way on Hammertown. Who knows where she could be by know... or if she even survived the night. Ed always said she was cayote bait and I have heard them howling in my backyard.
I'm sorry Lynn-I hope you find you dog.
On another note- Can I buy a one-way ticket for my husband to take another ride???
It if were only that simple Dan. All the husbands would already be gone.
Any news on the dog??
No..she is still gone.

But do they have to go through my groin??
Sorry to hear about the MIA dog.
I am just reading about your dog! I am so sorry. I assume you have put up signs and/or gone around the neighborhood.
