sometimes a holding pattern is a good thing
I am still feeling pretty good I'm pleased to announce. A little scattered on occasion, but on the whole pretty good. I'm accomplishing things left and right it seems. Today I got out in the back garden and started the clean up for the season. Between now and next pay day, when I buy some flowers, I'll get it finished up and it'll be all nice to hang out in.
Another thing to be pleased about, I feel like writing. No muse has struck beyond the idle shower/driving musing, but I could blog a question like I was doing way back when.
If a new medicine were developed that would cure arthritis but cause a fatal reaction in 1% of those who took it, would you want it to be released to the public?
Short answer? Hell yes. Making the answer longer, I would want the drug company protected from any repercussions from patients as long as they put all the facts out there. We are grown ass adults and can make our own informed decisions. Arthritis is a horrible disease that sucks the life outta a body. If there were a cure, that would be wonderful.
Huh, short answer. but that's fine. There are things I ought to be doing. Like finishing going through and sorting out doctor receipts from the last 10 years. I really don't think I need to keep them for that long.
edit to add: there's a whole thing in here about the FDA and big drug companies and the corruption and greed and just plan blocking of research due to intellectual property laws and how the whole system needs to be overhauled but isn't that the way of any large government entity
