BK – Hi BK, and welcome! It’s nice to have another visitor from Singapore. your own blog has quite a few flowers, which I really like. You’re right — content rules. I don’t know why I worry so much about little things.

Hope that you are feeling much better as of today. Regarding the theme, as long as it doesn’t load too slow, I am alright with it. Feminine or not, it doesn’t matter. What is important is the content of the blog.

Barbara – I’ve noticed how many people have gotten sick, including one with swine flu. It’s terrible the way we all suddenly catch things – and yet they keep saying weather changes don’t make you sick. Yes, that firewall did its job!

Betsy – Long, strange trip indeed. It’s been a tough year, but not as bad as last year. As to meds, I’m on two for high blood pressure and two for high cholesterol – both just raised from one. I LOVE salt. When I was little I used to eat a teaspoon of salt out of my hand – couldn’t get enough. So I think I need to bite the bullet, but I don’t want to.

Vered – That would be the ideal. The reality is, I’m torn. Should I start living longer in a very boring way or keep living “shorter” but enjoying it more.

I’m glad you’re feeling better. I think you should make it a big priority to start eating better and exercising and see how it affects your general health. Maybe you can even blog about your journey – I’m sure many people who are chronically ill would be interested in following you and watching you improve your quality of life.

Hi Dot – Wow, what a long strange trip it’s been lately, eh? Glad you’re feeling better and still truckin’.

Say, what about cholesterol meds? The doc put me on sinvestatin (sp?) and I went from 268/201 to 203/138 in two months, seriously. It appears I am genetically predisposed (ya think?). I found this a lot easier than trying Special K or whatever for a month or forever. I’ve not salted my food or cooked with salt for 30 years.

It’s just the pits getting older. Luckily for me, old ladies can pretty much say or do what they want, as far as other folks are concerned.

Hi Dot,

I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better. As I’ve been traveling through blogosphere, it appears many of our blogging friends have been ill. Thankfully I’ve stayed immune to any bugs.

That’s great your firewall plugin worked so well. I’m guessing that probably diverted potential problems. Thank you for the link love.

I’m curious how your male readers will respond to your question about a “girly” theme.

Davina – Well, at least you didn’t have the fever and the feeling worse at the same time, but yeah, what’s up with that? Actually, almost anything can give you misery if it’s strong enough or badly timed or keeps you up at night, and I’m sorry to hear that so many are getting sick right now (or getting over it like you and me).

Hi Dot. I’m glad you’re on the mend. It’s interesting how a person can be diagnosed with a bug of “less severity” and yet still feel like crap. When I was sick I noticed that as my fever came down I felt worse. Go Figure! Take care of yourself.

Snag – Nice to see you again. I love your name because it reminds me of an old cartoon character I loved — Snagglepuss. Sorry you got sick with some mess, too. At least now they have drugs that kill viruses. I wish mine had been caught sooner, but it wasn’t too bad. By the way, the new “killer” flu isn’t very dangerous for adults — it has only half the fatalities that the regular flu has! It is dangerous for kids, though. Yeah, that comment button is one thing I don’t like about this theme — it’s like you have to be a mind reader to figure out what it is.

ToyWithMe – Hi, Toy, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. No, it wasn’t very good, but far better than the last time I had it when I thought I was going to die. I just wish it could have been caught sooner. I appreciate your good thoughts!
