oopsy, heart, habitat

OOPSY
if you are a female who has being taking birth control pills from
pfizer products then you need to check and make sure its
not one of the 1,000,000 pill packages that are being
recalled

(if you are a male on these then you have other issues)

it seems that due to a manufacturing problem they put the fake
pill-you know those last 7 pills that many dont take because
they are just sugar pills with no drugs in them-in the wrong
day slots
(always wondered if they just thought women were stupid
when they did those sugar pills)

so
one of the warnings you give when you give a prescription for
the pill is that if you miss a day then take 2 pills the next day
but in this case with the mistaken sugar pill you dont know that
you missed a real pill and guess what may happen

so
either nothing happens or you have an extra period or you can
get pregnant
so
check and make sure your pills you have are not in that batch of
messed up pills and
either be worried or get tested

they also mistakedly put real pills with the hormones in them in the
fake sugar pills
guess what happens
you wont have a period then thatll make you worried also

which is what women have done in the pass during important events
such as weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, vacations,
events etc so they would be period free during those times
by taking a real pill in place of the sugar pills

looks like no matter what wrong pill they put in it will affect you
the worse case is that youll get pregnant
otherwise you will be ok

wonder if pfizer will have to pay for a lot of deliveries this next year
dang those drug companies
last month they were putting narcotics in the wrong prescriptions

who can we trust any more

HEART
this is the american heart month
you know valentines day
its red month

youll hear a lot about prevention
its the same as what we advocate for purple month in the fall
for alzheimers disease

exercise regularly
eat correctly
control your weight
control your diabetes
control your blood pressure
control your cholesterol
dont smoke
dont drink to excess
avoid stress
get good sleep

now you have two reasons to do whats right
your heart and your brain

HABITAT
did my second day at the habitat for humanity work site
the highlight of the day was i got to use a nail gun for the first time
ever
wished id had one around for all those repairs ive done over the years
bam bam bam and youre done
just too easy

my job was to help put the cap on
not on my head
but to put the 2x4s on top of the walls to give it strength and support
and to do all the markings for the trestles that will be put up at the next
session

also learned how to do blocking, put nails in concrete and to put bolts
in concrete

i plan to use these skill learned here at the country n

the house is starting to look like a house now
and the home owner is getting excited

sure feels good to do this
