Home for the Holidays  Folgers Coffee is giving some lucky folks a free ride home for the holidays. Just write 200 words or so telling them why you want to go home. I'm already home, but I know that alot of your families are spread over the continent and in some cases, the world. Click the green link takes you to the submission form,  go to the FB page and grab a sample of free Folgers coffee. I remember the old percolator from my childhood days, watching the coffee pop up in the little glass thingie on the top, and my mom hollering "oh %$&^ when she realized the top wasn't on and the coffee was percolating onto the counter. Sure miss those days. Wish Santa would bring me a Keurig for Christmas !

Where I was, and why it's important

I'm usually on my laptop about 8 - 10 hours a day. Last week I went to a couple of doctor appointments, and yesterday I had another. I get to travel 125 miles to the VA hospital, fun trip. Last week I had a mammogram and afterwards, they not only called me, they called my mom to get ahold of me. There was a "spot" on the mammogram that shouldn't have been there. So, they scheduled me for some alternate views and an ultrasound . The next day I had a colonoscopy, and they removed 3 polyps. My father passed away from colon cancer at the age of 53, I've had benign polyps before, and so has my sister. Still waiting for the biopsy. Fast forward to yesterday, where I got excellent treatment at the Breast Health Institute at Sanford Hospital in Sioux Falls, SD. They showed me the scans, they answered every question, squished me 5 more times, ultrasounded me, consulted the doctor twice, then he came in and ultrasounded me. Result : 2 benign and harmless cysts requiring no treatment.

SO : If you are told by your doctor that you need a colonoscopy, get one. The preparation is gross and nasty, but it can save your life. If they tell you to get a mammogram, get one. It's a little strange seeing yourself be squished into a pancake, but it can save your life. If you don't have health insurance or cannot afford these tests, and you need to have them done, ask for ways to have them done at a lower cost or free. IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE !

Okay,,,I made a decision !

From this point forward, when I want to send you somewhere, the link will be in the post, it will be larger than the rest of the text, and it will be green. It will (in theory, I'm not perfect) take you right to where you need to be. If where you need to be is farther down the page, I'll let you know left, right, down, etc. Does that work for you, my sweet followers ?
