Four of my mates have just gone through the most horrific of times.
E, was diagnosed last year with prostrate cancer, 62 years old, his wife in her fifties. The treatments were rough, daily trips for radiation. Brachytherapy and all the associated costs that the med aid does not cover. Months of stress and the possibility of death.
As of today he is clear.
S, she was diagnosed around Xmas time with Leukemia. It took them a month to make the accurate diagnoses and then she was whipped into hospital for 5 weeks. She was in the cancer ward, so single occupancy. No visitors, Chemo, blood tests, bone marrow extractions, lost all her hair and was told that when she was admitted she was three weeks away from death. Husband scared out of his wits, three girls having to pull together to keep the household going while Mom was battling.
They let her out for a few days on Friday and we saw her yesterday. So far the treatment is working and there were no cancer cells found in her last tests, her platelets are responding. In ten days or so time she goes back in for another three weeks of chemo.
Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today, is a saying by Benjamin Franklin. Good advice that I am going to listen to.
Life is too precious to waste.

Good point...
Exactly my thoughts a few tens of times a day...
Very good advice!
However, if you ever ran naked through a rose garden, your hatred will be justified.

And today DOOM has to warn people not to spray it on food.
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/d...ide-on-food-to-an-ad-after-a-complaint-2021-3
Doom will be including a warning to not to spray its insecticide onto food in new versions of an advertisement featuring a person eating pizza.
People can be trusted to understand that insecticide is not intended for human consumption, Doom’s makers Tiger Consumer Brands told the Advertising Regulatory Bureau (ARB), but it will attach a safety warning anyway.
That will read: “DO NOT SPRAY ON FOOD. PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN NOT TO EXPOSE FOOD TO THE PRODUCT.”
