One of the things I had considered an advantage when I was driving was the fact that no one limited me from smoking..... TOBACCO, nothing else.

Today, as I'm working on stopping smoking, I found an article that might benefit some of the rest of you. No, it doesn't have anything to do with not smoking, Currently, the doctor has me on a low-dose of aspirin each day, but the benefit might go a bit farther than the heart.

Aspirin tied to lower lung cancer risk in women - Health - Cancer - msnbc.com

And, while the article talks about the reduction of cancer in women, often the benefits don't stop there. It may have similar effects on men. I didn't know that it was associated with a reduction in the probability of colon cancer and others, but from smoking, Lung Cancer does cross my mind from time to time. When I was driving, aspirin was the only pill I carried in the truck, other than some of the herbal and vitamin supplements. Although, at the time, the only time I took an aspirin was when I had a head ache.

So, how many of you do aspirin?????

Everymorning I takes me a Does of BLOW ME and rest of the day all I want to do is lay around and tell the world to get screwed. Sorry but when you have been thru as much as I have been thru you have to have the attitude that if your not going to kill me you can KISS MY ARSE.

I take a low-dose aspirin every night before bed to help keep bp down.

The ancient Greeks chewed "Willow Bark" to relieve pain. In the twentieth century, that's where aspirin came from.
Not the first bit of "medicine man" hokus pokus that actually had some basis in fact.

Native Americans used to put a mold on infections. From that mold, we now have penicillin.

What I do find interesting is the fact that a lot of doctors do not keep up with the results of studies. Fortunately, it seems that my doctor is up on a number of them. She's not recommending that I stay with 2% milk. I can eat all the butter and drink all the whole milk I want (about a gallon and a half a day). She does not have a problem with milk fat. Milk, cheese, butter, but also have a good dose of oatmeal.
