There seems to be an epidemic of cases of bipolar in the usa and uk.

Well, for the Ramones, I might make an exception for lobotomies!

Cold remedies

The rhinoviruses that cause colds cannot tolerate heat. Sit in a sauna for an hour and you'll cut the time you endure a cold by 70%.

The psychiatric community will have a lot more credibility with me aftet it disavows electroshock therapy and lobotomies. Medieval torture has no place in modern medicine.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS promise yourself a reward after finishing something difficult--and don't welch on yourself!

Are pit bulls safe to have as a domestic dog?

From CBS news:

"GOOCHLAND, VA. -- Authorities have revealed gruesome details about the death of a 22-year-old woman who was mauled by her pit bulls in Virginia. Goochland County Sheriff James Agnew said deputies found Bethany Lynn Stephens' dogs, which each weighed more than 100 pounds, eating her rib cage when they located her body Thursday in a wooded area of Glen Allen."

Again--these dogs are unpredictable and dangerous. It does not matter if they are raised in a good home--they have genes that preprogram them to attack. The dog itself probably doesn't know when it's going to attack--it just does. Aggression and violence and a killing instinct is hardwired into its brain. Nothing will change that.

I'd sooner have a pet chimp and hand it a pistol than to have a pit bull.

Just don't take them seriously.

There are so many things in this world that want to do us in, we don't need to help them!

Thanks!

So many "entertainers" are pied pipers for the dark side.

Cannibalism.

The Aztecs and Mayas played a ball game in which the losers were presumably killed and eaten.

It would be interesting to see variants of that game played today.

You would have very few ball players making it to retirement age!

Why are people so hung up on looks?

It's commercialism--purveyors of products who want to make us feel that we are ugly or incomplete without what they are peddling. Ninety-nine percent of all advertising is designed to make us feel deficient in some way.

Approximately 70% of men and women make terrible life mates. You have to look in that "band of excellence" that contains the upper 30%.

Uni work, like any other kind of work, requires that you just jump into it and start knocking out the assignments and readings. Easier said than done, of course--but it's still the solution.

And then there is the matter of perspective. In Africa, I saw poverty on a scale you could scarcely believe. And in many parts of Africa, you have jihadists who kill, ****rape and maim in the name of their god--and if you are in their path, life will end for you one way or another.

Meds should be used to get people through a rough patch. They are not something most people can take all the time without consequences.

It is best to focus on studies, rather than on relationships, during the university years. And, if person with whom you have a relationship is sabotaging your studies, then you need to get that person out of your life.

The uni years should be the best years of your life--the future is full of promise, you have yet to reach your full potential, and you are finding out who you are. Get rid of whatever is spoiling that. Junk thoughts renting space in your mind? Evict them! Thinking you don't deserve success? Yes, you do! People doubting you? Don't let others judge your potential by their limitations!

Most people don't get the good things they deserve because they don't think they deserve them.
