WHITE ON WHITE-OSTEOPOROSIS IN MEN

my relative he is so white that if you stripped him naked and had him 

face a white wall would not be able to see him 

my relative he gets very little sunlight

my relative he gets very little vitamin d and calcium in his diet

my relative he gets very little weight bearing exercise 

except for walking from car to work

my relative he may get osteoporosis as he ages and the complications

just like women do who develop osteoporosis 

osteoporosis causes a weakening of the bones which overtime

increases the risk for broken bones  usually hip fracture is the most

serious in men 

over 2 million men have osteoporosis

about 13 percent of adult white men over 50 years will have an 

osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime-know who in our family that will be  

is more likely in men over 70 years old

you are at risk for osteoporosis if you have a parent or sibling with it or

if you are a smoker   heavy drinker  have a slight build  have a low testosterone  

have poor nutrition  or take certain drugs such as long term steroids

there are no symptoms early on in osteoporosis but later can 

have loss of height  broken bones  stooped posture  and back pain 

osteoporosis can be diagnosed with the bone density test

osteoporosis can be prevented by quitting smoking  decreasing alcohol intake or 

stop drinking   getting weight bearing exercise  

if you do not get enough calcium in your diet then supplements of vitamin d and 

calcium may be  recommended 

foods high in calcium are milk products  leafy green vegetables   sardines(yuk)

cat food sandwich(joke from previous blog-do google search on right

of this blog) salmon tofu and almonds 

you can get enough sunlight for vitamin d production by getting direct sunlight for

10-15 minutes two to three times a week

ie avoid white on white

if you have osteoporosis it can be teated with medication

THE WET SUITCASE

my relatives they visited us this weekend    see mondays blog 

my brotherinlaw he likes to get plant cuttings to plant at his place

in another state 

do the same when visit him-last time got cactus and a dragon fruit both of 

which are growing 

this time gave him some plants from my small pond  and some malabar spinach

put them in a plastic bag with water soaked paper towel 

well maybe not soaked but maybe some extra water to be sure

triple bagged the plants 

my sisterinlaw had room on the outside of her luggage

some one-no one will admit it-placed the plastic bag with maybe some extra

water in my sisterinlaws suitcase

when my sisterinlaw was taking the bags out of the car she said

why is my bag wet 

no one admitted to anything   she was told it was from a bottled water 

in the back of the car

she said there is no bottled water in the back of the car

well dont know why it was wet (hahahahahahaha) 

well to make things worse they got stuck in denver overnight as their 

transfer flight was canceled

my sisterinlaw opened her suitcase and all her clothes were soaking wet 

sorry wasnt there to give my brotherinlaw some support 

know it was a traumatic moment

hope he was able to transplant the plants when he got home

although they were probably planted in denver in the trash

it is announced publicly)

my nephew he is sensitive to mosquito bites

my nephew he took too much benadryl one night and overslept for work 

my nephew he got a text from me about taking otc generic loratidine or cetirizine 

to control his itching from the bites      dont make him quite as sleepy 

as benadryl 

my nephew he texted me back telling me he loved me

nice to know that but 

my nephew he then texted me 'oh shoot that was to go to my mom'

my nephew he was visiting us this weekend 

told him he owed me one 

so......

am relocating some of  my rain water collection tanks 

needed to pump water from one to the other

placed a large limestone rock on lid of tank to hold pump line in place

oops knocked off pump line and the rock fell down into my tank

needed someway or somebody to go get it 

so......

my nephew he was talked into climbing up on a ladder and

let me hold his feet while i let him down into the tank(its 9 ft high)

above  is what it looked like starting out

my nephew was resistant at first but talked him to going down farther

my nephew said theres a lot of water in there(was only 4 feet of water)

my wife she was taking pictures of this then

my nephew he started wiggling trying to back out 

my nephew he was hard to hold by his ankles 

then: 

OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO
