What a great day to be alive

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

It is raining, there is a chill in the air and I need to change the engine on my sports car. What a great day. After my adventure of Sunday I will call any day a good day. At least my fun and adventures continue.

I am really working on getting my diet on track, my exercise is going good but my diet is kinda sucky right now. I will get there again.

Be Careful Eating Healthy Can Kill You!!!!

Monday, May 20, 2013

Now that I have your attention.. I implore each and every one of you to learn how to do the Heimlich Maneuver both on others and yourself. It saved my life last night.

I was enjoying a nice meal of a small steak, baked potato, and brussels sprouts. About half way through dinner I aspirated one of the sprouts. It closed off my airway and I was unable to cough it up. I could not call for help and I live alone anyway so that was not even an option. It did not take very long before I began to feel faint and I knew that I had to do something quickly. I remembered learning the Heimlich while doing counseling. I tried the chair method but it didn't work so using both balled up fists I proceeded to perform the standard Heimlich Maneuver and thankfully it worked.

Now I know it wasn't the healthy food that was the cause it just happened to be healthy food that was the cause. Eating healthy food is good for you....breathing it isn't. Please be aware of how quickly and unexpectedly a deadly situation can arise. Had I not had the proper training I would not be here right now to be typing this.

Be safe. Be Happy. Be healthy.

It is the pits (awful times 10) when you cannot think of anything to chat about. Something that "Sparked" you or something that is dragging you down, 'Cuz it is just another Ho-Hum day in paradise. In my humble unbiased opinion, Ho-hum is better than the pits.... Wishing for you a GRAND Sunday followed by a great week. How is your car doing? Getting in shape for your trip to... oh-oh I forgot where you were going. Well, keep a smile in your heart. Audra Report Inappropriate Comment

Glad the server is back up.

Glad to see that there wasn't an issue with the SP server. I would hate to see all my data lost even though lately it hasn't been the greatest. Now to get motivated on a gloomy day. Major issues with the new engine on my car force me to revert to the old one I think. Oh well, these things happen.
