Bid Ulcers Adieu
According to someone quoted by Hunter Adams in the June 23 entry in a Barbara Johnson calendar:
Ulcers can’t grow while you’re laughing.
Is it true?
Helping the Enemy
Meet the newest Trojan Horses:
| Certain products designed to treat open wounds and sanitize skin could actually infect patients and even cause permanent damage.
The Food and Drug Administration said an inspection of Utah-based company, Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory, Inc., revealed that products marketed to sanitize and clean skin were contaminated with disease-causing bacteria. The agency said that some of the bacteria could severely infect skin and underlying tissues, requiring treatment or even surgery. It said the public should throw away all products made by Clarcon, including:

OK, maybe not the newest Trojan Horses, but hey, it’s got a nice ring to it. 🙄
But ring or no ring, you’d better check your inventory for any of the above items.
You’re welcome.
Ringing Quote
Ringing in my ears, that is. (Does that mean I have tinnitus?!) 😆
“He’s healthier than you are.” 😯
About someone half my age. 🙄
😀
Nevertheless, a good reminder to go from sedimentary to sedentary to healthier.
Now…if he’s twice as healthy as I am (being half as old as I), could I possibly be twice as discerning, wise, considerate, spiritual, and balanced as he?
Sigh — alas, such things just don’t hold true. 😆
Seriously, though, what do I have to show for all my years lived and all the aging I’ve done?
What about you?
Swine Flu Update 2
OK, OK — so somebody decided to defer to the pork industry and call this ailment something else. CO2. 280Z. R2D2. H20. H1N1. Something! 🙄
Anyway, so I was in Sonora (northwest Mexico) for a few days last week and this.
Two of my traveling companions and I were struggling with varying illnesses of varying degrees.
Thankfully, none of us had symptoms that were strictly flu-like.
However, upon returning home, I learned that one of the missionaries we visited had come down with flu-like symptoms. The last I heard, thankfully, she’s doing better.
Thank you for your concerns and your prayers.
Broken News: Swine Flu
“Broken” because it isn’t breaking.
| “There is evidence there will be a major flu epidemic this coming fall. The indication is that we will see a return of the 1918 flu virus that is the most virulent form of the flu. In 1918 a half million Americans died. The projections are that this virus will kill one million Americans in 1976.” |

Swine Flu Update
Greetings from the port city of Guaymas in northwest Mexico’s Sonora state.
I’m part of a mission board delegation that’s been in the area for a few days.
Two of us are ailing somewhat, though almost certainly not from swine flu.
So far, this state has no reported cases of swine flu.
That’s good news.
However, I read online that we may have a tighter inspection crossing the border back into the States tomorrow. 😯
I’m posting this, not to provide you with further news on the epidemic, but to personalize it a bit.
And to ask for your prayers.
Please pray for our health, which is ragged for two of us.
And pray for a timely crossing.
Thanks!
