A while back, I'd made the observation that men didn't usually like cats. The reason they don't, I believe, is because men & cats are too much alike. Sneaky, quite when they're up to no good & they can fall asleep anywhere, at home or not.
My girlfriend, J.C., said she believed men were more like dogs. Here is her reasoning: "They follow you around, constantly need praise and attention, and if you correct them they whine. You have to pick up their shit, they drool and lick their balls and penises (ok,but men would if they could). They like to stick their noses in our crotches and you let them outside and they'll chase any bitch in heat. They like to run with the big dogs but when they get old they have to stay on the porch. They get their muddy feet all over our clean kitchen floors, hog the bed and you have to worry about them bringing home parasites! They snore, slurp, gurgle, fart and bark. And last but not least they spend a lot of time in the doghouse."
Okay, but I actually know a man who could...well, that's a story that belongs in a book. A whole chapter in a book.lol

Here is some new information I've picked up on recently. 1)Twins, it seems, have lower Iqs than single births. Possible reasons may be lower birth weight & prematurity. The difference runs about 6 points between twins & singles. 2) Swimming with Dolphins can alieviate fellings of depression after 2 weeks of treatment (pack your bags, for those who can afford it). 3) Bedbugs are back mostly because of world travel & hotels/motels they stay in. 4) New take on obesity: It often will take a longer needle in order for drugs that are injected into the muscle to reach where they need to be...in the muscle. 5) New figures concerning smoking: 29.1% of smokers are at or below the poverty level. 20.6% are above. Anyone think that extra stress by not being able to afford decent food & housing &, in general, stuff for their kids, may have something to do with this? I do. 6) Nurses & pharmacists, in the United Kingdom, who undergo specific training, will be able to prescribe a broad range of drugs to patients beginning in the first half of 2006. 7)Dr.s have noticed poorer cognitive function in middle aged people with Type 2 diabetes. 8)Some Dr.s are calling Alzheimer's the new Type 3 diabetes because in the late stages patients show 80% less insulin in their brains.

Something new on the chronic pain front. Up until now people with chronic, intractable pain didn't have much of a choice. There was an implanted TENS type unit (shoots low frequency electrical impulses to the trouble spot) or a pump that administers pain medication directly to the problem spot. Now Medtronics has come up with a unit that the patient controls how much of the drug they get instead of a continuous feed. Keep in mind that you will only receive an amount of drug determined by the limit set by the Dr., similar to the machines used in the hospital, but it's always better to have medication just when you need it instead medicine in your system constantly. Good job, Medtronics!
