Luv ya!

Do yourself a favor and killfile the creep as have I. The only time

Sorry, Keith, I won't quote a response from him again. I'm sorry. Still

Sweetie,

No worries mate, we're still buds!

You did NOTHING wrong, and I didn't mean to single you out in that last
statement....just meant in general I only see Shel's crap if it's quoted by
others. If anything it was a healthy reminder to keep that piece of trash in
my looney bin.

Please don't take anything he says to heart.I'd love to see him take the
attitude that he exhibits in this forum onto the streets IRL, somebody would
put out his lights in 10 minutes or less. It's sooo easy to sit behind a
keyboard and be a bully, but as know, a bully is just a coward at heart.

XOXOXO
Keith

Yep. *Here awhile ago KRON could not agree with NBC on

There is a fuzzy, distant NBC signal on channel 11 now.
Things have somewhat improved in the DTV era because the
11 signal is better in digital.
I am amazed. Have any of you heard of "Meet the Press"? It is the
longest running show on television. Carried by NBC then
rebroadcast by MSNBC. *The show started in 1947. *Tim took over
the show in 1991 and has been a fixture on the political scene
since then.

Very seldomly, a television was randomly turned on when
"Meet the Press" or "Crossfire" or similar was starting
but it did not remain on for very long.

Really, I'd rather get my news from print sources. *I sometimes
watch local TV news though, because the local print media
is too spotty.

NPR / PRI / BBC radio is a great source. I used to watch Meet the
Press when I was a kid (I know, nerdy), but now I spend 30+ hours a
week listening to public radio. My favorite hour is NPR's Wait, Wait,
Don't Tell Me. PRI's Marketplace is also excellent. I haven't seen
10 hours of TV news in the past 10 years.

There are many famous people in the media world with whom
I am utterly unfamiliar. *

I actually like Public Radio, too. It's the only radio station my husband

No, those emboli originate elsewhere. Take a gander at the route blood
takes in the body.
Right atrium to right ventricle
Right ventricle to Pulmonary (lungs)
Lungs to left atrium
Left atrium to left ventricle
Left ventricle to body via arteries both up to the brain and down
into the body below, as well as feeding the heart itself via coronary
arteries. Sometimes clots will develop in the heart because of
ineffective atrial beat (Such as a pt with A-fib) that allow blood to
remain in the atrium when it shouldn't, and those clots can go up to the
brain and can cause of an ischemic stroke. This is why patients with a
diagnosis of Atrium Fibrillation are put on blood thinners.
Venous return brings the "used" blood up to the right ventricle again
to start the circuit again. When the venous blood has pooled in the
lower extremities (or occasionally in the upper too) it gets thick and
sticky. The clot can form inside the vein at that point. Something
causes the clot to dislodge and when it goes up into the heart and then
into the lungs and it is too large to pass it occludes the circuit.
All hell breaks out.
A GREAT many people die of these, yet some survive.
Those that survive with live on blood thinners for a long, long time
afterwards. It is felt that all of us survive micro-emboli all the time.
It is the big honkin' clots that kill us.

We switched from WFLA to WUSF during the jingoistic, dogshit
patriotism that accompanied the first Gulf War. If I never hear "I'm
Proud to Be an Amurrrican" again, it will be too soon.

When we moved back to St. Louis, one of the first things I did was to
locate the NPR affiliate on our radio.

Supposedly this helps prevent deep-vein thrombosis.

It is an attempt to help the venous return up to the heart again, rather
than pooling in the legs. You'll see little old ladies (and nurses with
brains!) wearing combat quality support stockings because being on your
feet or sitting stuck in an airplane seat for extended periods wreaks
havoc on venous return. We put them on patients in the hospital too.

I wear Jobst Toes support knee highs under my scrubs. They cost $50 a
pair, and are worth every penny! I don't come home with achy, swollen
feet from being on my feet for 14 hours...

True. It killed my brother a few years ago after flying from San Diego to
Wash DC to Morocco. He died in his hotel room shortly after dinner. If
you
are on a long flight, get up and walk around and move your legs. Some of
the airline magazines have exercises you can do in your seat.

Cripes. I am really sorry to hear this happened to your
brother.

S.

Thank you. It was to be his last trip before retiring. Enjoy every day; you
don't know how many you have left.

Yet our dear airline companies are making our spaces smaller instead
of larger. Guess they like killing off the paying customers.

Okay, I'm with you. A clot formed in the venous system might
make it through the right side of the heart to the lungs,
but no further.

Thanks for the anatomy lesson.

Plus the new checked-baggage fees will mean many more passengers will
have a bagged stuffed under the seat in front of them, further
cramping their legs.

I was confused for awhile then I realized the TV newsdrones
were showing photos of Russert's *father*, who indeed looks
older than 58 in these photos, and who happened to be named Rush.
