Tobacco Smoke Free For 8 Months/ Merry Christmas

   Posted by: jude8753   in Uncategorized

I have been tobacco smoke free for 8 months and have never felt better since starting personal nicotine vaporizing. I don’t like the term e-cig even if it allows me the same feeling of fulfillment as a tobacco cig did without the other 4,000 dangerous chemicals added.

Nicotine is about as dangerous as caffeine when used in a responsible way and with personal vaporizers  it’s a god-send for cigarette smokers. I will go into this further at a later date, but for now I would like to share the wonderful news we PV users got recently.

CASAA Lauds Decision on Electronic Cigarettes

Consumer group calls Appeals Court decision against FDA a great victory for public health.
Online PR News – 08-December-2010 –The U.S. Court of Appeals (DC Circuit) has affirmed that the FDA cannot regulate or ban e-cigarettes as drug devices as long as the manufacturer makes no therapeutic claims for their product.

“We estimate that over a million smokers have switched to electronic cigarettes.”

“This is a great victory for public health,” stated Theresa Whitt, M.D., medical director of the Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA). The appeals court upheld an injunction against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seizing product imports, claiming they were unapproved drug delivery devices. CASAA Lauds Decision on Electronic Cigarettes/Read the rest.

I would also like to share a personal link to a forum that has helped me tremendously and that is ECF /Forum for anyone needing to find a less harmful and alternative for burning tobacco products. Hopefully I will start updating again soon and sharing more take care and Merry Christmas to you all.

How Is Norma

How Is Norma= A little Humor

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph ’s Hospital. She timidly asked, ”Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?”

The operator said, ”I’ll be glad to help, dear. What’s the name and room Number of the patient?”

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said, “Norma Findlay, Room 302.”

The operator  replied, “Let me put you on hold while I check with  the nurse’s Station for that room.”

After a few minutes,  the operator returned to the phone and said, “I have Good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well.  Her blood pressure is  fine; her blood work just came back normal and her Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.”

The grandmother said, “Thank you.  That’s wonderful. I was so worried.  God bless you for the good news.”

The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”

The grandmother said, “No, I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me shit.”

The Move To A New Web Host Provider

   Posted by: jude8753   in Mature Not Senile Misc

After 4 years with Bluehost I decided to find a new web host provider. I was getting tired of my blogs being hijacked and redirected with malware. The malicious Eval Base64 Code started this year on my wordpress blogs because Bluehost got hacked. Thankfully I managed to find a little program called wordpress-fix to run every time it happened and it worked great. Site clean up by Sucuri.net this script will clean the malware from this attack.

At any rate my new provider is in my local area and with 1 month free it was only 60 dollars compared to 107 a year with Bluehost. There was a problem with moving my domains, that was suppose to be done for me, but Bluehost doesn’t give the option of server to server moves and that made it difficult for them to move it. They gave me the option of a refund or move it myself piece by piece or I could get in touch with Bluehost and see if they would make it easier for me.

I opted for moving it myself and totally messed up this blog several times and had to keep redoing it which was a pain in the patooty. I lost a lot of back posts and now there are a lot of double comments listed plus double plugins. I’m sure it will take me quite a while to sort it all out and put my blogroll back together also, thankfully I still have my commenter list that I can use when I start back blogging. Not sure which direction I will be moving in with this blog yet. Hope all that stop by are well and doing great.

We went in Thursday morning and the surgery was suppose to be at 10:45, they didn’t take him back till 2:00. No one had the courtesy to let us know why there was such a long delay until 15 minutes before they took him back.

The operation was suppose to take an hour and a half to two hours. Guess what? Time just kept right on ticking past 2 hours and it wasn’t till hour 3 and a half that I was informed of a complication.

I was told that they were successfully finishing up. He was in surgery for 4 hours and an hour in recovery and didn’t get to his room until 7 PM. The surgeon came to let me know all the details and showed me photos of the colon re-sectioning, I was a nervous wreck.

He was in the hospital for 5 days, but he’s home now and doing great. He’ll be off work for a month recuperating. Take care everyone and all the best.

Sorry I haven’t been keeping up, but everything is weird for us right now. Love to all you guys and hopefully in a month or so we will be back to normal.

Not sure if that is the right clip, but I’m sure it’s close.
