[SOC] Fwd: All men need a healthy one

[hank k8dd]

One part of Mike's post caused (perish the thought) a serious thought ....
or two .... when he said, in part:

".... I must say that the extension of life to the ultimate longest minute
is not necessarily the way to go."

----------------------------------

One is the following link.  Not really funny, but really worth watching.
http://www.qsl.net/k/k8dd//mp3/Secrets_of_Life.pps
If you get a screen of garbage, go to     http://www.qsl.net/k/k8dd/mp3
and save  Secrets_of_Life.pps and run it.
And if that doesn't work, ask and I'll attach it to an email and send it
direct!

The other is from a sign in the shack.  I read it every time I think about
going to the DX side of the world in February .... or clipping onto a zip
line in the UP of Michigan!

*LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE
WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING
SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL
PRESERVED BODY, BUT RATHER TO SKID
IN BROADSIDE, THOROUGHLY USED UP,
TOTALLY WORN OUT, AND LOUDLY
PROCLAIMING
"----WOW----WHAT A RIDE!!!"*

Now back to your regularly scheduled SOC programming!

Food for thought (erm, just not tomatoes) :

It's great that there have been some many wonderful outcomes. But not all
are. I have a friend who had the procedure, and he was in diapers for about
a year, is now impotent, and says now that he wouldn't have it done if he
had the choice.

I've also heard about a lot of unneeded operations based on PSA readings.

In true second class fashion, do you know that every disease or condition
you decrease your odds of dying from increases your chances of dying from
another?

After watching my mother in law die over the course of 10 years as a
dementia patient, she who did everything right, non-smoker, non drinker,
then my own mother, who smoked and would partake of ethanol based beverages,
and ate what she wanted, and who was healthy until the day she suffered a
heart attack and was gone in a minute, I must say that the extension of life
to the ultimate longest minute is not necessarily the way to go.
