For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and may lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line .
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.

Emmerdale...............Gen + Shadrack.
Corrie...................... Gail + Ted.
Eastenders...............Chelsea and her dad.
Holby City ……........Maria, just found her mum. (I think.)
I am not at all jealous, no, not me. lol
I do know they are only soaps and are not real life. (Maybe slightly based on real life as I am sure these things do happen.)
Me………dad located.
He is deceased and his step daughter, now 69 – 70 doesn’t want to know. Her brother who is my half brother doesn’t seem to want to know either. I have spoken to him once, seemed a really nice man.
Good luck Soap Characters, hope you get on better than I did. Also, everyone out there who is looking for their relatives, good luck to you too.
I have a granddaughter who will be seeking her half sister and brother one day.23:00 Posted in Life, good or bad? | Permalink | Comments (0) | Email this | Tags: family, mum, dad, seek, hayward, california, pleasanton
It is ages since we went to San Francisco. The longest journey we have ever taken. But worth it.
No wonder people sing about it. Ace it was. I would certainly go back at the drop of a hat.
We stayed in a Raddisson Hotel. (I believe they have those hotels all over the world.) We stopped at Fisherman's Wharf. Pier 39.
Yes, we went to Alcatraz, got a tee shirt, book and lighters from there. Ate at the Stinking Rose, lovely despite the name. (All things garlic.) Went over the Bridge on open topped bus.
Saw the Painted Ladies. (I didn't understand that at the time.) Could have really embarrassed myself there. Well, I didn't know they were houses did I???
Yes, like the Mammas and Papas, I am yet again, California Dreaming. lol

Please, can anyone tell me why I am so fed up???
I have seen in the papers and on TV the earthquakes, tornadoes and other horrible things that are happening. I should be counting my blessings.
So, here I am, fed up, retired so no stress from work. Not too badly off in the money situation. (No begging letters please as not rolling in money either.)
Family ok at the moment.
Perhaps this feeling will pass. I hope so. I don't think it is real depression, boredom maybe. Nothing to look forward to, getting older too.

Tomorrow I have not smoked for 222 days. That is over 7 months. I stopped on the 30th September 2007.
For someone who tried to stop quite often and had been smoking for well over 44 years, I think I have done well.
In the end, I used Champix. Tried all sorts up to then.
I know I have rabbited on about this before but as I once said, if it helps just one person to stop smoking, I will rabbit. lol
Don't leave it until you are in your 60's like I did. Really worth stopping. Trust me.

I wrote this in 2005.
Hello again.
I notice that I have had a few visitors today. I wonder if you too, are searching for a natural parent? I have looked through "Missing Persons" sites and I could cry. People looking for the mother they never knew. Wanting to know about their fathers', so sad.
I actually "found" mine. Ok, he died in the '70's. He was a Canadian, but he died in the USA.
But out there, I have a half brother. I will not name anyone here. I have spoken to my half-brother, sounded a lovely man. Told me a bit about his/my "father". But due to me telling his step-sister that I thought "Father" knew about me, nothing since!
I live in England so it's not as though I could just turn up on their doorsteps is it? This lady (step-daughter of "father") will NOT speak to me now. (Hope you are following this!!!!) Have tried ringing her.
Her e-mail address has changed too. lol I just wonder why????
I miss a man I'll never know,
Died in a place, I'll never go.
All my life I'll feel quite sad,
As I believe, he was my dad.
There are people out there, who knew him well,
His family, with tales to tell,
What kind of man he used to be,
I wonder if he knew of me.
My childhood dad was good and kind,
So why, the need to look behind?
But it's still with me, night and day,
Will it ever go away?
Yesteryear is far away,
I should only live life for today.
So if I'm brave, maybe I'll find,
The memory will fade, from my mind.

I have not been well. Started off ages ago with a kind of cold. But not a cold. Not 'flu either. My niece said loads of people were getting this thing. I ended up going to see the doc. Chest infection! Well, that upset me. I have not had one of them since 2004. I cut down on the cigs then and I have not had a cig now for a little over 7 months. So how dare I get a chest infection???? Huh. The week after I still felt really not well. Off to doc again, chest was ok, antibiotics had done the job. Just had to wait until things got better.
The week after that, (third week,) went to the docs. UTI that time. AKA water infection. More antibiotics. Not been to the docs this week. I bet they wonder where I am. lol
But by the heck, I feel so washed out and tired. But thankfully I am on the mend.
I don't know how I would be if I got something really serious.
Take care all and good health.
Let the warm weather arrive soon!
Have a good Bank Holiday on Monday and if you have to work, hope it goes well.
