Thyroid cancer is treatable. For those diagnosed with thyroid cancer, there is much hope. It is urgently important, however, to take action immediately, begin working with an oncologist and find a path of treatment. All cancer treatment is a battle against the clock. The earlier the detection, the earlier the treatment, the better your chances for full recovery.
According to the Thyroid Foundation of Canada, thyroid disease may also cause a person to experience an unnatural amount of anxiety. This can cause erratic behavior or even emotional instability. There are treatments available to counter this problem.

I saw Phil Town at a conglomerate seminar that included people like Tom Hopkins and Zig Ziglar. His blog should be a good read. His recent book, Rule #1, is likely also a good read. There's no way that losing money is a good idea, so I tend to believe that Rule #1 (DON'T LOSE MONEY) is a good investment mantra. He was pitching the InvesTools seminar, so I bit.

Download this week's Audible Weekly (podcast, mp3, etc.).
There's tons of stuff on blogs every single day. And, a bit happens to catch my attention. Most of you would find the more interesting stuff (at least the stuff that really interests me) only slightly interesting most of the time. But, occasionally I feel the need to post something that I believe would just brighten your day... or send you into hysterics.

Surely, there's many many more things people were talking about yesterday. There's a lot of
political news, and
my opinion on some of it, to read here all the time. Alabama passed (on the first level of the law process) the marriage protection act we've been discussing in the state. It will go before the people of Alabama for referendum.

My youngest and I walked about looking at the trees, breathing in the air, and playing with the puppy. It was a really nice day just to be outside.
Then, around dark, it turned cold again. But, the day was really wonderful weather. You have to appreciate those in Alabama.

People keep talking about fat, the French, and what we should do (as Americans) regarding obesity and diet. However, what people often ignore are the leisure implications that accompany European lifestyle.
Americans often work on “off-days”. In stark contrast to our European counterparts, we have no national holidays or forced time off by any regulation of law. Americans are
free to work as many hours and as many hours consecutively as our employers will put upon us. Americans almost all work more than forty hours a week, most fifty or sixty a week to maintain our lifestyle. They overwhelmingly thrust food down their throats at lunchtime, seldom taking time to enjoy the meal or any other part of their weekday lives. Americans are not “fat and lazy” as some would argue. But, they are overworked, overnourished, and therefor overweight. Physical exercise, the enjoyable kind, is a luxury in America. We pack in exhausting work weeks, overloaded schedules, and what physical exertion we do enjoy comes in weekend warrior projects crammed into short two-day weekends, or what we like to call “days off”.

If you've recently had "one of those days" and you enjoy a little company with your misery, see these pics. The last one appears to be a fake, but it's funny enough with the first seven.
While we are on the subject of humor (or sadistic enjoyment), check out this really bad joke.

Once again, I have been slapped in the face with logic regarding auto-repair.
The last time I spent an evening under my vehicle, I spent some time in an ER. A friend convinced me I could save some money by crawling under my car and filing flat the rounded points of contact on my fly-wheel. He was right; it saved me a $400 repair bill. However, it turned out I spent significantly more than that when I found a bit of steel stuck in my eye lens. I didn't use protection. Now, was the lesson to protect my eyes before I work on my car? Or, was the lesson that I had no business working on my own car?

Q: Jason, what do you do for a living?
A: I know you just asked that because I hate that question. Invariably, people ask that question as a pleasantry. Perhaps it's my evasive answer that lures them to press me on the subject, but when I regretfully disclose details, they almost always slowly withdraw (or recoil) when they receive what they pursued.
Basically, I sell stuff for money, work on websites and computer related projects, and occasionally consult businesses on their technology and marketing approach. You could easily consider me a luftmensch much of the year. If I were financially independent, I'd probably be a software designer just because it's something that intrigues me. However, I am not credentialed or trained to engineer software for a living. So, I work on projects (not software engineering) and spend some of my time collecting money via selling merchandise.
