Health and Well Being and Class Action Lawsuits

Gila monster at Bristol Zoo, EnglandImage via Wikipedia

06-home-byettapens I really don’t know if this belongs here, but since it is my blog I guess I can make an exception. I was just lazing around today as I felt like, pardon the expression, shit. and on the television come one of those many law firm commercials for class action lawsuits.

“If you or some-one you know became seriously ill or died while taking Byetta, you may be entitled… blah blah blah…. Now I am not one that easily scares BUT…….

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the ER on Sept 2005, with a blood glucose reading of over 500. I know every one has it nowadays right. They gave be some insulin and sent me home with instructions to see the family doc.

The family doc puts me on Byetta which I have been taking regularly as injections twice daily ever since. It really did the job, I lost over 100 lbs and brought my numbers way down.

I also have been in and out of the hospital with abdominal pain and vomiting, had numerous operations for blockages, adhesions, stomach pains, etc….  Now I am worried.

The doc says no need to worry that I don’t have what the 6 reported deaths had, but if I would feel better I could go in for blood work. Hmmm. I can die and make the lawyers richer, I don’t know I really don’t know. I guess I will let him do the blood work and see.

Byetta is what they call Lizard spit, it is made to act like the venomous saliva of the Gila monster, and they are were considering using it for weight loss patients. Diabetes is a disease without a cure, but is the treatment worse than the diabetes?

Fools Second Child Hood?

Blu-ray Disc

All right am I losing it? My youngest of 6 (yea 6) has decided to move into an apartment with is gal pal. This leaves me and the Mrs, in this big old house to ourselves! So I go out and by a 32″ Sanyo HDTV ( I buy stuff when I am depressed). The HDTV is fine and dandy but when I hooked up my lite-on DVD Recorder and tried to play a move just to see how awesome it was going to be, I got depressed again.

I called my oldest son, #1 he likes to call himself and he tells me, “Dad you just as well get a PS3, as it has a Blu-Ray Player included for around the same price as just the player. I bit I went to the nearest GameStop and said “give me one of they PS3’s with the 80 gig HD will ya bud?

“Well you know sir that one only has USB ports and is not backward compatible?” ??? HUH? “Sir it will not play any old games on it.” ”

“Oh ok thats cool I have no old games, Pretty much buying it for the Blu-Ray.”

“Ok, I will grab ya one, but you should at least get a game.”

(being the sly shopper I a.it’s not so, well drawn out an boring. I did indeed by 2 games, one (gee I hate to admit this in public) Smackdown Vs. Raw, and Mercenary 2. I tried both had not a clue what I was doing, shut it of and instead went to netflix to convert my que to Blu-Ra. ( will let the kids teach me the games).

Have a question for the masses though…

Can the PS3 be used as a media center extender? Please tell me yes and How to do it!

Fools Find - Family Watchdog

We all want out kids to be safe and sound right?  Dwatchdog o you have any idea who all your neighbors are in say a one mile radius of your home? You would probably be as shocked as I was! By simply typing in my zip code I found out that there are over 200 registered offenders in my general area!

You have got to go to family watchdog, they provide you information you need to keep your family and your neighborhood safe. Do you need a wake up call?  Family watchdog says “Awareness is your best defense,” and I could not agree more.

With the economy like it is and the cut backs on patrol in certain neighborhoods you deserve to know where the bad guys (and gals) are. You can get the information you need to create your own family watchdog safety portal, get safety tips, product recall information & FDA information as well.

You can get updated information sent directly to your cell-phone if you so desire. Need the brochure? grab it for some eye-opening stats! Or you can  Find nearby sex offenders. You can even have a notice if an offender moves in your neighborhood. There are no fees for this service. Please go and check it out! For more information have a look at the faq.

When it comes to the safety and well being of your family don’t be a fool! You have the right to information that may help save a child the statistics are mind boggling.

  • 1 of 5 girls and 1 of 6 boys will be molested before their 18th birthday.
  • 1 of 5 children has been sexually propositioned on the Internet.
  • Up to 70% of sex offenders released from prison will offend again

From their site….

“FamilyWatchdog.us was formed as a result of the senseless murder of Jessica Lunsford. Mr. Roddel, concerned about the safety of his own family, tried to locate sex offenders in his own neighborhood. Using his state’s sex offender registry, he was unable to locate 4 sex offenders in his immediate area, one that was about 600 feet from his house. Using his knowledge of Information Technology, Mr. Roddel successfully mapped offenders from his state’s registry, and was able for the first time to present a map of sex offenders - where they lived, and where they worked. Initially, Mr. Roddel was simply going to create a map of sex offenders for his own state, but upon discussions with other people in other states, decided to set the goal of mapping offenders across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. FamilyWatchdog.us is proudly the only sex offender registry in existence that is able to map registered sex offenders from all states.”
