Great News! Colleen! I am delighted to hear of your recovery. My cardiologist husband assures me you will be as good as gold!!! Love, Agnes. Thanks, Agnes! I had forgotten about your husband's specialty. It's encouraging to hear from another expert. I'm fascinated by the heart, it's an engineering ...

Madame

Glad to hear you're doing well Colleen. Also good to know you stayed awake for the catheter ablation! How did it "feel"? :D I have a friend who had similar symptoms, except he has been on a prescription drug regimen that lowers his heart rate (has been on this for years, probably long before diagno...

This is a riot.

I seriously doubt the Marines would be brought back to the U.S., should we close the bases in Japan, etc. There's plenty of 'opportunity' elsewhere, like maybe Afghanistan?

Yep -- excludes depth charges.

The first time I heard his voice was on the 'Madame Butterfly' album, with Victoria de Los Angeles. His voice was sweet, indeed.

Amazingly ... this 5-CD EMI release is available on Amazon for around $30, truly a bargain.

I would like to see extended coverage for mental health issues, Madame. I believe they are even more epidemic in our society than obesity, and ultimately are even more burdensome, as the majority of preventable physical health problems arise due to untreated mental illness. But we should note that ...

Madame

Insurance coverage for mental health treatment has lagged behind that for other medical services, but is catching up, as it should. This article raised a couple of questions, however. Should substance abuse treatment fall under 'mental health'? Should coverage be unlimited? Should social workers qua...

You mean they made you eat? They wouldn't even let me eat, and I mean like for several days. :D Well, internal organs are wonderful things. Welcome to the club of those who got theirs back into working order! Well, it was more like, I begged for food! And since I had not been anesthetized, or 'open...

Wow, my mother-in-law (a really special lady - I'm seriously lucky to have the best in-laws in the world) had the same procedure two years ago. She is doing great!

Welcome back! Glad to hear it.......and, may I say, that's a nice little write-up of what was done and how it was. Medical writers should do so well!

I hated 'Catcher in the Rye'. Reminded me of my bratty younger cousins and sibs. So there!

Beyond the obvious concerns, I feel sad.

Madame

I'm BAACK! Less than 48 hours ago I underwent a 'catheter ablation' inside my heart to repair a short-circuit (technical name 'supraventricular tachycardia') that sent my pulse racing out of control. I am flat out amazed by the immediate results of this permanent fix (less than 5% chance of it recur...

Only if your screen is the size of your wall! Youtube on a PC just cannot deliver in this instance.

Yes, I should ...

Scott Brown's senate seat is up for grabs in 2012. I think he can make a big mark in the senate in 2 years. I think he's far more qualified than the standard list. (OOPS, we need to keep it secret!

The issue does not belong on the national agenda ... sucks too much energy away from important issues like the economy, foreign policy, etc. Leave the debate at the state level where it belongs. I agree, but Roe v. Wade put it at the federal level - exactly where the issue does not belong. It was d...

Which one has the shorter attention span, Brad or Angelina? And who's Brad seeing now?

Years ago, I read a poem by Ora Pate Stewart which said, when sharing your substance with the poor, don't confuse them with the junk man. Never forgot it.

The way these big-name celebrity couples treat marriage as an institution is disgraceful IMO. I've half jokingly said to people a couple times recently when discussing this topic in general that I don't give Pitt and Jolie more than another year before they split, while little did I know it had alr...

Because every actor's commodity is him/herself, they are constantly marketing themselves and their images -- the more box office appeal, the more they earn. The right partner/spouse boosts the earning power. Some are like children, always need drama and attention; take that away and they get bored a...

A different take but interesting... http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/frustration-fuels-acts-of-hatred-20100122-mqq2.html All quite true, I'm sure.

By the way, do the musicians at the Cleveland Philharmonic earn the same as those at CSO? Is it a good orchestra? Is it solvent? They go by Cleveland Orchestra. Their salary level is probably slightly behind that of the CSO, but not by much. When it comes to the top two or three orchestras, sometim...
