Imflammatory Breast Cancer

Bubbles — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 10:23:43 GMT

As if there wasn't enough for women to worry about, but apparently there's more than one type of breast cancer - many people don't know about. It's called IBC (Imflammatory Breast Cancer). Has anyone heard of this? Women are encouraged to research about this and talk to their doctors (keep in mind, many doctors don't know about it either). Apparently knowing the early signs, can save your life. I've attached this link, hopefully it'll get you started at least.

What do you think of the five objectives President Bush outlined today in his Comprehensive Immigration Reform?

What I've learned since I became a parent

Bubbles — Mon, 01 May 2006 19:41:54 GMT

If I wake up at 6AM I'm considered LUCKY!!! Giving your baby who's teething your index finger to relieve his pain is not very smart......'Oh I'm bored' is no longer in your vocabulary. If you thought anti-perspirant stained your clothes...well think again. Everyone's NOT an expert as you thought they were...in fact, half the time most people don't know what the heck they're talking about when it comes to parenting. Oh yeah, and you do your BEST parenting BEFORE you have kids...

Are men blind or just lazy?

Bubbles — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 00:34:36 GMT

From all walks of life, and from different age groups, men have one thing in common: when they're asked to locate something, they can't fulfill that simple task. Asking them to bring the jar of mayo from the fridge is like asking them to solve a math proof! You HAVE to give them GPS coordinates of the location...it's on the second shelf, behind the jar of pickles. Oh and the best part is when they tell you it's not there. Oh honey, my apologies, I failed to give you proper instructions...I happened to take them as far as the jar of pickles, I failed to recollect my memory that there was a tuperware of yesterday's food immediately behind the jar, therefore, restricting direct vision of the mayo that happens to be located behind it. Women have the uncanny ability to remember where things are located - I guess we have to, if we need our man to get us anything. Even with that skill they can't get it, imagine if we just asked them to bring the jar of mayo without giving them GPS coordinates? Oh I can't even imagine, that would be a nightmare!

Mission Possible?!?

Bubbles — Wed, 19 Apr 2006 21:35:12 GMT

I'm on a mission to lose 30 pounds in the next 3 months. I'm not sure if it's realistic but I'll be doing my best to reach my goal. I lost 10 pounds in the last 2 months so I'm psyched to kick it up a notch. I'm not entirely sure if I'll have time to exercise (swimming is my thing), but I think I'll cut back on junk and sweets (not that I had that in my diet to begin with). I'll also most likely reduce my caloric intake for each day. I'll eat only when I'm hungry at the dinner table and won't snack in front of the TV, which is a real culprit in adding unnecessary calories in the day. Those of you who support me, send me a cheer. I'll be updating my blog telling y'all on my progress as I go along. So long everyone, until then...

Hawaii

Bubbles — Mon, 17 Apr 2006 15:09:03 GMT

I was shocked to see how expensive Hawaii was. I thought it was so commercialized and it didn't have an authentic feel to it...not much culture. I thought I'd see more culture life, but nahh. Half the time I felt like I was just in another city in US (well it is part of US but it's not part of continental US). I was in Maui, so I'm wondering if one of the other islands offers more of an 'authenticity'. I'm not sure if that'll be the next place on my list of places to visit. I'd love to visit Japan or China.

Eczema in infants

Bubbles — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 16:13:02 GMT

My kid broke out in a rash at five months of age, when he started teething. My pediatrician told me he has eczema and I'm told I have to use a hydrocortizone to treat it. I would rather use a more 'natural' cream to treat this condition. I'm not sure if steroids on my kid (even a very small amount) is safe or if it has any side effects.

Surplus of single folks

Bubbles — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 12:01:57 GMT

Is it me, or does it seem like there's a surplus of single people in town??? Most of these single people are great people, both men and women, yet they can't seem to find each other or make a connection. I've so many single friends who are single, not by choice. What's going on? From what I can tell, they're not necessarily picky people, so it can't be that. Is there an epidemic here we should be concerned about? Whereas 10-20 years ago, by the mid 30's everyone was either married or married at some point. Nowadays, it's the norm to be in your late 30's and be single. That's how it is in North America, but I'm not sure if that's how it is throughout the other parts of the world.

Telecommuting is the way to go...

Bubbles — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 15:46:17 GMT

Managers of corporations need to realize that with the advent of virtual private networks, where technology gives one the ability to perform on the job while being away from the office there is no need to insist that employees 'show up' for work to be productive in their job. With the ease of working from home, I'm not sure why more and more employers don't encourage telecommuting. Some employers insist that an employee 'shows up’ at work, just to make their appearance and let them know that they're working. I guess if someone is working on a commission basis or on task oriented projects, and as long as they can get the job done, why do they need to drive to an office? Not only would they save the time spent in traffic, hence they may spend more time on work related activities, they would also not pollute as much by commuting to work every day. Telecommuting should be encouraged, especially to those individuals who are not only disciplined enough to separate their home life from work life, and get their job done from home, but also to those who are goal oriented and can be just as productive from home as anywhere else. Think of all the working mothers and how much easier it would be for them.
