Monday is time for the....Monday Mission thanks to PromoGuy

1. Do you get sick very often? What illness do you find that you've had most frequently?
I don't get sick to often... I used to get strep a lot... I get colds from my kids on a regular basis now... had anthrax twice this year... bubonic plague once... small pox once... ;o)

2. I know a man who flat out refuses to go to the Doctor's office. You'd need an ambulance to get him near a hospital. Not me, I'd rather go as soon as I feel sick so I can get better. Do you mind going to see the Doctor when you get sick? Do you know anyone who just refuses to go to a Doctor when they get ill? Any idea why they are like that?
I don't really mind... I'll go if I'm sick and NEED a Dr. I generally try to let things run their course on their own... I have faith in my immune system... once that was a bad idea though.. I had Salmonilla poisoning for 4 months because I kept self medicating and didn't want to see a dr. I was better within days of taking the pills the dr. gave me. I dont' really know anyone who won't see a Dr.

3. How about visiting the Dentist? Do you go get a check-up every 6 months? Or do you dread going?
I LOVE to go to the dentist.... I've talk about this before. I keep my check ups.


4. I've heard about a diet pill called "Thermolift" that allegedly gives you quite an energy rush (oh boy mentioning this will surelybring us all a ton of Google hits won't it?). Although I've thought about getting some of these pill for the times I need a boost, I'm probably not going to take the plunge. Have you ever taken any diet pills, energy pills or energy drinks? How did they make you feel? Do you still take them? How come?
yes I have, they did give me a boost, but didn't help with weight loss... I am skeptical of most of these things that claim weight loss that you can get off the counter... skeptical and a little afraid... so I don't take that stuff.

5. Have you heard about "Gastric Bypass" surgery that many celebrities are doing to loose weight? (The process reduces the size of your stomach to facilitate weight loss) What are your thoughts on this procedure? Would you ever consider it? How would you feel if a relative were to decide to undergo the procedure?
well that's kind of misleading to make it sound like it's some trendy cosmetic surgery all of Hollywood is getting done. It's not. I've checked into this and read a lot about it as well as talked to some of the nurses and Dr.s I work with. It's a very serious operation that is only done on people who are morbidly obese and have serious medical because of the weight. You have to be at least 100 lbs or 100% over your ideal weight or have a BMI of 40 or greater, or have the serious weight-related health conditions to even be considered for this operation. If I knew someone who fit that catagory and was considering this surgery, I'd urge them to check into all the pros and cons of it first so they know what they are getting into. Ultimatly I'd support them. But for the vast majority of us, the only solution we need is to eat right and get regular exercise.


6. What do you think the opposite sex needs to experience to fully understand what it is like to be your gender?
Child birth

7. And to lighten things up a bit before we go...What's the most worthless gadget, infomercial item or "looked like a bargain" item you have ever purchased or owned?
A potato cooker for the microwave... basically just a plastic stand for your taters.... lol - I didn't purchase it, it was given to me.

BONUS: Why can't every day be like Christmas?
Because there is a God and he is merciful enough to not put us through something like that.
