Please let it be so...just had a monster gust in Colonia

Right in your backyard here bud....daughter is supposed to have a Chem lab quiz at 5....told her to email the professor we may have no power.. all classes are online. This guy's a one those persnicketty types, admin already had a talk with him....

Ocean and southern Momnouth under tornado warning according to news 12....when will the tornado danger pass for the region? I'm not even thinking about the power right now....this is a quick mover right?

I much prefer the rain but it isn't up to me is it....

Yes it confusing for some of us. No time for humor right now. Don't expect to have power all day and no radio in the house. May all have to. move to basement.

I pray he's right.

Many in NJ too.

They are trying to spite the Russians, not really us.

I think you have a better chance than that, depending on your age.....

We have a tick borne disease researcher right here, Justin, who found that ticks do worse in winters like this if I read him correctly.

Thanks for the kind words. Some people have a naturally slow heart rate. I'm betting you are a pretty calm individual. i have a friend like that, all his life his heart rate has been like yours; doctors were always amazed by it, thought for sure he exercised. Nope. He smoked a lot of pot though. Don't know if that helps. But he is very calm. Doesn't fly off the handle easily. I wouldn't run any marathons right now if I were you,though, not with all this going on. Probably a number of them will be canceled. I do miss my running days, but I do love my daily walks. Stop and smell the roses. I Get lots of wildlife shots in the woods while hiking too.

I just heard Anthony Fauci say 12-18 months at best...

it's called andropause....

What do you do to combat the constant hunger pangs the obese feel? Because if you don't have them you don't know what I mean. Go to an OA meeting and listen to the folks there. They won't mind if you do.

When I was a runner, I could consume an entire pizza and not gain weight. And I did. But I was also 20.

I used to run 7 miles a day. Then I developed a muscular disorder. Studies also show running is not a good long term exercise for people. Injuries, deep breathing of urban air ( the whole area; go offshore and you can see the smog enveloping the area; that haze you see in summer is smog )and an inability to stick with it for life. Walking is far better. Not everyone loses much weight from exercise either. Younger people do, but not always. In fact, some obese people have excellent lipid profiles and blood labs. Did you know Asians develop type 2 diabetes without being overweigt? There is much we have learned, and the answers are not simple. If you drink a can of coke, you would have to ride a bike for 2 hours to burn it off. Most everyone eats more calories than they can burn. I wish you the best and wish I could join you on the roads and trails for a run, but I cannot. haven't been able to for 30 years. Watch your knees and ankles and give yourself days off to recover. But you know this.

I'm a cancer survivor. We get tired of people blaming us for the illness. Go down to Memorial and walk around. You will see plenty of people who were struck ill who were in good health a year before. Marathon runners, cyclists, hikers, body builders. And everyone's immune system declines with age. You cannot exercise that away. There are few firmly established causes of cancer: sunlight, smoking, asbestos, and radiation. And no, all medical experts don't agree. You may be able to reduce risk, sure. But you will not eliminate it. if you really want to know about mortality, ask an insurance expert. By the way, exercising a lot is not advised. Moderate exercise is best. 30 minutes of walking briskly 3 times a week. I'd highly recommend the book Secrets of the Eating Lab, by a social psychologist who has spent decades studying obesity.

Need? It's not something they can control very well. If they could, no one would be overweight. i am glad you lost weight ( though you were not close to obese to begin with, unless you are not very tall or female ) but you stand a 94% chance of gaining it all back and then some. And l have nothing but praise for your success. It's also much harder to lose weight once you reach middle age. I'd say keep up the good work. It is not easy, as you know.

Obesity is a disease.

Excited? Not really. Ready for spring? Yes.

Yes,yes, let's blame the patient! That'll solve it!

Just take vitamins and exercise right? And don't get older. And don't get any underlying disease. And choose your genes very well. And you might be ok. Maybe.

I have read others saying they don't know and don't expect it to peter out in warm weather. As evidence, they cite the presence of COVID-19 in balmy Singapore, Australia ( where it's summer ) and Iran which is already warmer at this time of the year. Since this not the flu, is more infectious than the flu, there is no good reason to compare it to the flu. Maybe you are young or in good health and can afford to be less concerned. Millions can't. I have listened to what the local government officials are telling us in the schools. They are crapping their pants. I'm talking board of health here.And i am reading a lot. And the person you quoted in one article I read was immediately contradicted by another expert, who himself was challenged by another. We HOPE it will peter out, but IF it does, it MAY come right back in the fall. The Spanish flu was mild then came back in the fall and killed tens of millions, mostly young people. Best case scenario for a vaccine is 18 months. And the amount that will be needed is staggering; millions will not be enough. That isn't going to help right now.But let me say, I hope to God you are right. Because the death rate over 50 and a pre-existing condition is over 16%. I did read one expert just now, a guy named Nicholls, who thinks it will peak by May then dwindle, but he was quite angry he was quoted as he didn't intend that for public release. Since sunlight kills viruses, and since SARS didn't like the heat, there is some logic to this as they are related. But the better comparison, in his view, is the common cold, which is in the same family. Easier to catch. Another expert I read ( Dr. Gray ) said it just gets harder for viruses in the warm weather because of sunlight and humidity. Others say the dry mucous membranes in winter make us more vulnerable. In warm climates they get just as many viruses, but they are spread out over the year. And some, like Ebola, don't mind the heat at all. So make of that what you will. Hopefully we are all well and arguing about snow amounts next winter.

And we likely won't see any before that. Gonna push 70 this week I am hearing.
