Leah

Leah: "My name is Tom and I am guest blogging for Leah.

At the time of my writing this, Leah has been in surgery 49 minutes. This is the 5th open heart surgery for the Wee Princess, the first aortic valve replacement, previous surgeries were for the mitral valve. This young, vibrant beautiful soul has had a tough time. The last nine years have been 
unfair, yet I have never once heard her say, 'poor me' Leah has been critically ill before,
 and has stared death in the face too many times to count, yet each and every time
 she has fought her way back to family and friends who love her. I believe in my heart 
that G-d has a plan for this young woman. I pray that she will have many more years to 
touch hearts and minds with her humor and generosity.."


Stumbled upon this Israel based blogger while surfing and blogging, she happens to be undergoing surgery as I type this link

ABC News: NKorea: US Must Alter 'Hostile' Policy

ABC News: NKorea: US Must Alter 'Hostile' Policy: "Eight years later, Pyongyang appears eager to make amends, refraining from its customary New Year's Day diatribe against the U.S. and reportedly offering to send an envoy to Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration.
In the statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, North Korea's Foreign Ministry reiterated its commitment to a nuclear-free Korean peninsula. However, it said Washington cannot demand that Pyongyang bare its nuclear arsenal without revealing, and removing, its own alleged nuclear weapons in South Korea.

Seoul and Washington deny having a secret atomic arsenal. 'We don't have nuclear weapons,' South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Moon Tae-young said late Tuesday.
But the U.S. military does have some 28,000 troops in the South and holds regular war games with South Korean troops, exercises the North denounces as proof of U.S. aggression.
'We would never show our nuclear weapons first — even in 100 years — unless the U.S. hostile policy and nuclear threat to North Korea are terminated,' said the statement, monitored in Seoul."


The true cost of nuclear war, or low priced cars?

9/11/2001- | The Writers' Cafe

9/11/2001- The Writers' Cafe: "Today too many of us live life like the flock. There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.

My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of “high tech stocks”.

Our nation’s leader would now have you believe the same “voodoo economy” nonsense that his party predecessors have promoted. Many armchair critics have already sited the president’s agenda as nothing short of class war. I suppose I could go on with this thread but do not want alienate too many of my potential readers. One might wonder how Chekhov might have discussed the problems that plagued his country in his day…"

The First Good Meeting Place For Blogs!

The First Good Meeting Place For Blogs!: "The internet was a much smaller universe back then. However it was filled with so many “free” downloads. Often these free downloads would effect your computer in a negative way. For example I remember this one aligator icon would leap up and snap at your cursor every time you tried to close the icon in the tray!"

Ketosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ketosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Ketosis (pronounced /kiːˈtoʊsɪs/) is a state in metabolism occurring when the liver excessively converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies which can be used by the body for energy.
Adipose tissue consists of highly specialized cells which store energy in the form of a triglyceride and release it upon hydrolysis in a process known as lipolysis, yielding three fatty acids and one glycerol molecule.[1] These ketone bodies are a by-product of the lipid metabolic pathway after the fat is converted to energy.[2][3][4][5][6] Ketoacidosis, by contrast, is the accumulation of excessive keto acids in the blood stream (specifically acetoacetate and beta-hydroxy butyrate)."

One Frum Skeptic

One Frum Skeptic: "But today, we both took wings, cuz our families (mostly my super hungry sister) expect them. And then we went for a walk around coney island/astro land, where we had way to much fun playing arcade games for tickets. My friend won 101 tickets at the deal/no deal game so we got my sister a cute little stuffed doggy, and dice for my friends car.

Then we decided to play the water gun game. We played like 3 times to trade up to a penguin. My best friend is OBSESSED with penguins. So, yay!! she got a penguin.

And then we went to 7-11, got slurpees and scratch lotto tickets. :-D

How cute and creative are we?

Now, if only real dating was this fascinating!"
