Finally I am a non smoker-and am very proud of myself.  I have achieved the goal I set for myself.  Now when I see a cigarette, or even think of one, I automatically hear the words, “I do not smoke-and I don’t.  I have reached my goal to quit smoking and now can exercise regularly and keep fit and healthy. This was my last bad habit that controlled and harmed me.  I now feel in control of myself and of everything I do. From now on, I will do what is best for me, myself, and my future.  Taking care of myself physically is important to me. I work out at the gym again and try to keep myself fit and feeling good. I feel very energized ...

What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!"-DiderotHe came and got back in the bed with me after rising at his ungodly methadone hour, buried his face in my hair and breathed deep. He put his arms around me, and we dozed together. I won't end a marriage that feels so good, so good when it's good. I'm not up to it. Not yet.And it's bad when it's bad...it's scary, terrible, badly bad when it's bad.What has passed between me and my husband has always been tinged with monstrosity, as passion often is. It's red and raw, war-colored, and the edge of danger has fascinated me from the be...

They’re these little sea squirt creatures that sit around day and night, filtering sea water for food. The weird thing about them is that although they have blood, it isn’t red, but in many species a Mr. Spock shade of bluish green. That’s because they don’t concentrate iron there, but rather vanadium, in the same row of the periodic table. You don’t hear much about vanadium. Not even chemists hear all that much about it, at least not since the 1980s heyday of one of the Sharpless epoxidation reactions that uses it as a catalyst. (An old colleague of mine, Carsten Bolm, has been doing his best to revive that one). For one thing, it’s not a particularly abundant element – which led to questions about just how the tunicates were getting so much of it i...

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Although the world is full of suffering, it [...] (Source: Writhe Safely) Writhe Safely blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1061096 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 06:23:26 +0100 1061096 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=964616&cid=t_152824_134_f&fid=35152&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsstrumello.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F10%2Fweekend-bits.html For those of you who caught my posting yesterday, you may note that I had promised to update the news since Pfizer was not the only drug company to release its earnings yesterday. I must apologize, but I simply forgot to do that yesterday, so I'll address that here, along with a few other miscellaneous items.Lilly Profits Up, But Few Signs of Improvement Seen in Insulin BusinessWhile Pfizer made the news for its decision to pull the plug on its inhalable insulin product Exubera yesterday, a real powerhouse in the insulin market, Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company also released earnings yesterday. Lilly said its Q3 2007 profit rose 6% on strong sales of drugs such as its Cymbalta depression treatment, and it raised its outlook for the year. Its blockbuster Zyprexa also contributed sig...
