Introducing my Yahoo avatar, that goofy thing you can see at top right...
Some of you may have seen this version of me from my website. I really do look a lot like this - but not nearly as young and thin these days I'll 'fess up. (However, I'm not overweight and the Plus-Size Yahoo avatar stuff wouldn't be me, either.) My beloved beach (Orange Coast) looks like this, also, although usually with a lot more people, darn it (I like surfers, though...).
I've started including endangered animals with my avatar. Last week was a polar bear, this week, penguins again.
(Is this my old lady version of playing with dolls? I like those Virtual Villagers a little too much also... Well, whatever floats my boat. It's legal, etc.)

Under Construction...
I don't think I need to tell you that - you can see for yourself. ; )
Please pardon the dust while I figure out my Blogger upgrade and get all the details taken care of.

Cancer society recommends breast MRIs

Interesting...
Something for me (and many of you reading this) to ask our doctors about the next time we have our annual mammograms. Especially if you have the risk factors mentioned in this article.
It is true that sometimes it's better to use more than one tool in order to make sure one is tumor-free. And it's all about catching any possible tumor as soon as possible. Whatever you do, don't wait for it to show up as a lump - I had Stage 2 breast cancer and never had a perceptible lump - not even to doctors!
Over 40? Be sure you get your mammogram (and whatever other relevant tests you might need) annually.

An afternoon nap? Sounds as if it might be good for you.
This article is funny, too:
"In our dreams, the new Democratic majority in Congress quickly introduced the Freedom Of Restorational Time for Yawning, Whittling, Inclining, Nesting, Knitting and Sleeping (FORTY WINKS) Act, mandating thirty minutes of "quiet time" for every worker...
Republicans countered with the Solitude Investment and Entrepreneurial Sleep Trading Account (SIESTA). Trial lawyers soon consolidated into a class action the lawsuits of thousands of widows whose husbands had not been permitted to nap at work. Big Pharma began marketing a 30-minute snooze pill, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted be covered under Medicare Part D..."
Whether it's FORTY WINKS or SIESTA, apparently it's something to be considered (taken along with that dark chocolate and red wine from my previous posting?).

Yet again dark chocolate proves its worth!
As if it had to...
Of course, the 60% cacao content or better is the healthiest.
And, unfortunately, as with red wine, it's not as healthy if you over do it.
