50 ways to improve your life

US News and World Report tells me to do 50 things to change my life this month. I do about 10 of them already (inlcuding blogging). The ones I am seriously thinking about adding are-

Working out harder- Seeing a personal trainer next week
Support Local Farmers- Farmers market every Thursday here, always want to go, but never seems to think about it.
Crown Molding- I don't know why, but this is supposed to improve my life-

In between the 50 things, there were advertisements for Viagra, Requip (sleep aid), Neulasta (cancer med), Rozerem (another sleep aid), Enablex (bladder control), Crestor (cholesterol), Ambien CR (sleep).

What I found really interesting was all the small print that went along with the ads. Each ad had one, up to three pages of documentation on each ad of the side effects. It's an advertisement- not the perscription itself. Why all the leagalize? The regulations must be THAT bad.

Anyway, it's 11 am and no one is up yet- Tomorrow at 5:30am (school and work for everyone) is going to be tough....

Hey Mike!
Thanks for linking your blog to our web page. What an interesting way to connect with the world at large! I wanted to respond to this particular post because of the multitudes of messages that are constantly given to us about what we need to do. Perhaps the advice to blog was good advice for us all. All our medications are expired and need to be tossed! Cheers! Judy
