I was just reading a post and it talked about women lying about their age. I have never lied about my age. I will be 58 in Sept. Unless something strange happens, I don't intend to ever lie about it. It is what it is. So ladies, you don't have to answer this question in regards to what age it shows here but have you ever lied about your age? Men, do you lie about yours or think that women are lying about their age?
When I owned a dating service, the lie I saw most often was from men lying about their height. Men, have you ever lied about your height?

ADVANTAGES TO NOT BEING ALLOWED TO TALK FOR 10 DAYS

My ENT doctor said I can't talk for 10 days. I was going to begin Thursday but instead I ended up starting yesterday. I have already improved my abilities at charades. My sister had troubles yesterday but today she got my clues perfectly.  I no longer have to worry about having to listen to endless sales pitches from telemarketers since I am not answering the phone. At night, I can actually get to watch TV again. Usually I talk to one friend for hours and then another. I feel like I am on vacation. I may never talk again!!!

COMMENTOPHOBIA - FEAR OF MAKING COMMENTS ON POSTS

No, to my knowledge, commentophobia is not a real word. I just read a post and wanted to write a comment. However, I learned from when I first came on here and did that, it can get me in trouble. I just read Leaf's post and he accused Maisie of calling fat people evil. I read it and I could tell she wasn't really doing that. Do I dare voice my opinion and make others feel that I am pro Maisie and therefore against them, depending on which side of the fence they are on? I am not left or right. I am fully centered. I have no sides and I don't want to have to choose a side. I may agree with Maisie on this issue and be totally against what she said on other issues.
Sometimes I look at the blogs and have to remind myself that these are seniors fighting and hurling insults back and forth. Other times I feel like I am back in high school and there are cliques. Shouldn't one be free to make comments without fear of getting verbally attacked? I wish I felt that I could so on here. I do risk it sometimes but not without some stress about a backlash for doing so.
For those celebrating Easter, have a great holiday weekend!!!

A college math professor and his wife are both 60 years old. One evening the wife comes home and finds a note from her husband that says, "My dear, now that you are 60 years old, there are some things you no longer do for me. I am at the Holiday Inn with my 20-year-old student. Don't bother waiting up for me."
He returns home late that night to find a note from his wife: "You, my dear, are also 60 years old and there are also things I need that you're not giving me. So I am at the Motel 6 with one of your 20-year-old students. Being a math professor, I'm sure you know that 20 goes into 60 way more than 60 goes into 20. So, don't you wait up for me."
Ralph is driving home one evening, when he suddenly realizes that it's his 's birthday and he hasn't bought her a present. He drives to the mall, runs to the toy store, and says to the shop assistant, "How much is that Barbie in the window?" In a condescending manner, she says, "Which Barbie?" She continues, "We have Barbie Goes to the Gym for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Ball for $19.95, Barbie Goes Shopping for $19.95, Barbie Goes to the Beach for $19.95, Barbie Goes Nightclubbing for $19.95, and Divorced Barbie for $265.00." Ralph asks, "Why is the Divorced Barbie $265.00 when all the others are only $19.95?" "That's obvious," the saleslady says. "Divorced Barbie comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, Ken's boat, Ken's furniture..."
After Brian proposed to Jill, his father took him to one side. “, when I first got married to your mother, the first thing I did when we got home was take off my pants. I gave them to your mother and told her to try them on, which she did. They were huge on her and she said that she couldn’t wear them because they were too large. I said to her, 'Of course they are too big for you, I wear the pants in this family and I always will.' Ever since that day, , we have never had a single problem." Brian took his dad’s advice and did the same thing to his wife on his wedding night. Then, Jill took off her panties and gave them to Brian. “Try these on,” she said. Brian went along with it and tried them on, but they were far too small. “What’s the point of this? I can’t get into your panties,” said Brian. “Exactly,” Jill replied, “and if you don’t change your attitude, you never will!”
HAPPY EASTER!!! Have a wonderful weekend.

STEM CELLS - ANOTHER MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH
|
Posted:Mar 25, 2016 10:35 am
Last Updated:Mar 26, 2016 11:14 am 6331 Views

From an article I read:
"A team of researchers have successfully grown a beating human heart in the laboratory using stem cells.
Right now, there are 4,186 people waiting for a heart transplant in the U.S., but with a huge donor shortage not all of these patients are likely to survive. Growing transplantable hearts in a laboratory has been a long-standing dream within the medical community, and a study in the journal Circulation Research has moved it one step closer to reality.
Previous research has shown how 3D printers can be used to manufacture 3D heart segments using biological material. Although vacant of any actual heart cells, these structures provided the "scaffold" on which heart tissue could be grown. Now, a team from both Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School has taken this scaffolding concept and combined it with stem cells for some truly spectacular results.
The main problem with heart transplants, other than a lack of donors, is that there’s a chance that the receiver’s body will reject the new organ.
For this study, 73 human hearts deemed unsuitable for transplantation were carefully immersed in solutions of detergent in order to strip them of any cells that would provoke this self-destructive response. What was left was a matrix (or “scaffold”) of a heart, complete with its intricate structures and vessels, providing a new foundation for new heart cells to be grown onto.
This is where stem cells come in.
After just two weeks, the networks of lab-grown heart cells already resembled immature but intricately structured hearts. The team gave them a burst of electricity, and the hearts actually started beating.
"Among the next steps that we are pursuing are improving methods to generate even more cardiac cells," said Jacques Guyette, a biomedical researcher at the MGH Center for Regenerative Medicine and lead author of the study, in a statement. Although this study manufactured a whopping 500 million stem cell-derived heart cells for the procedure, regrowing a whole heart would actually take "tens of billions," Guyette added.
So despite falling short of growing an entire, mature human heart in a laboratory from a patient's own cells, this is the closest anyone has come to date to reaching this goal – and that in itself is a breathtaking achievement."
How do you feel about what's being done with stem cells? I personally think it's fantastic how people can be helped.

I WAS SHOCKED

I am going out today to get a haircut and afterwards out for dinner. We had planned on going to a Japanese restaurant in our area for dinner. When my sister told someone at work, the woman she spoke to said it has had health violations so I decided to look it up. In the area we live, there are food inspections carried out and the results are made public on the internet. In addition, the restaurants have the results posted on their doors, so consumers will know if they passed or failed their inspection. Some offences are major and others not that bad. This restaurant had many dangerous ones and in fact, the inspectors removed some of the food, which I have never seen in any prior report.
The point of this post is that it's best to check if the restaurants you eat out at are safe. I don't know if the USA has such inspections that are made public but if you do, it is wise to check that the place you will eat at doesn't have contamination issues like where we had planned to eat. Needless to say, we will be dining elsewhere. Yes, I did check the record of the restaurant we will be going to for dinner.

IT'S BEEN A TAX-ING DAY!

You have no idea what a pain it is getting income from the USA while living in Canada. The tax slips I get are useless since they are on the cash basis. I have to report my royalties on the accrual basis. To make matters worse, book sales take place all over the world so there are exchange rates from different currencies to the Canadian dollar. How I long for T4 slips. Oh well. The fun continues tomorrow.

I want to know what make you special. Pretend for a minute that you are someone else being asked that about you. If you find this hard to answer, search inside yourself.
I will answer about myself. I think what makes me special is that I genuinely like people. I love talking to them and hearing their points of view. When I did some sales, which I didn't realize I would be good at doing, that comment was made to me numerous times from people I talked with.
Ok it's your turn
Have a great week, everyone. I will hopefully start doing my tax today. As of Thursday 12 am, I will not be able to talk for 10 days, as per doctor's orders. That is something I am a bit stressed about. It will be an interesting experience for me. .
