Random Thought Thread

I did not noticed at all Root and olbriar, I was kind of still asleep and woke up this morning.

Went to town and got some groceries with my seventh treatment for my spine.
 
I stumbled across this ad on Fece-book and was a little taken back by the brazen claim: detect all cancers with a simple blood test? I mean that's only a couple steps removed from Dr. McCoy's medical tricorder, right?

Anyway, my gut hunch is that this actually is fraudulent, much like Theranos' lies about detailed blood work from a finger prick...

Of course it's FB, which will sell ad space to anyone willing to pay the fee. Legitimacy? Not important. Besides, I'm pretty sure that "non-invasive" is defined as "not penetrating the skin". How are they getting blood? Nosebleeds? I'm sure there's a reason why my semi-annual blood labs require a half dozen tubes besides Big Tube just wanting to make money: there are different chemicals and catalysts in each one that activates to reveal different things. I smell a skunk with that one.
 
Painted the town blood, but everything is alright, we went to the chiro, then came home, got my check cashed finally, cashed it in, went to the garden center, spend no money at all today. (minus of having the check that my mother wrote for the chiro..)
 
My wife categorized our old pictures and put them into plastic containers. Mostly they are grouped by child... we had four. I carried around one of those suitcase size vhs recorders and captured everything the kids did. I told my son once that I planned to transfer them to dvd so the kids could watch them. He looked me in the eye and said "dad, nobody has a dvd player anymore". So much effort for not.

Know what my mother did the dvd thing for the older generation of my Grandparent's and it was worth it, I got to say if you keep a DVD player around, your kids can watch it over and over too. My mother upgraded my photo album, an eight by ten to a monster one that is deep enough to keep in even more memories she photographed.
It is well worth the money and effort too. You can also do a youtube video link for them to keep them forever, I know I did a few of them in my youtube videos.
