One job I had way back when I was a student was in an isolated building so my whole division used to eat lunch together and we had a piggy bank for swearing, with the proceeds going to a needy family at Christmas.

Kudos...you are SO far ahead healthwise because of it! Re: the swearing, maybe you should start a "swear jar" where you have to put in a quarter (or a loonie!) every time you swear...with the money going to your kids.

My family and I have had far too much contact with the health care system over the past two years or so, but those experiences have made us unbelievably grateful for the work done by nurses and other health professionals. There seems to be a habit, especially in the US to thank members geofftakesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791752956866543860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989107263854327793.post-48572517787970685082013-12-31T11:20:03.700-05:002013-12-31T11:20:03.700-05:00I expect success on number 1 will help you with nu...I expect success on number 1 will help you with number two.

Congratulations. Quite an accomplishment. I love it when people take charge of their health. My resolution is simply to try and be thankful for each day, manage my stress at work (I'm an RN at a hospital), and appreciate my friends, family, and life.

Not the nice French fried ones from the fast foods or the good food joints, but the ones that come in the king-sized-eat-till-you-throw-up sized bags.<br /><br />2. Be happy that I am alive. I know a large number of people that aren't anymore, any a number who may not make it out of 2014. Time to be happy for what I have in that area.<br /><br />3. TBD<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
