I'm keeping as busy as I can with mindless stuff. Like making scrap fabric turn into skirts:

A recent study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggests that there is a link between a low fat diet high in fruits, vegetables, and grains and a reduced risk of ovarian cancer. The discovery came from the Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Randomized Controlled Trial over 8 years. The trial assigned 20,000 women to the diet change group and had 30,000 women maintain their current diet. The diet change group limited their fat intake to only 20 percent of their total calories and had to eat 5 or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables in addition to 6 or more servings of grains.
During the first four years of the trial, researchers discovered no link between diet and ovarian cancer, but during the latter half of the study there was a drop of 40 percent in the risk of ovarian cancer in the low fat group compared to the unchanged diet group. Women who had the highest fat intake at the start of the trial and had been assigned the diet change were were found to have the greatest reduction in risk.
Researchers suggest continuing to track participants to see the longer term effects between a low fat diet and appearance of cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer is the 8th most common cancer among women in the US and nearly 22,500 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year and nearly 15,300 will die from it. Ovarian cancer mostly occurs in older women with two thirds of cases seen in women aged 55 and older.

Most of us face acid reflux at least once in our life. Acid reflux is most commonly known as Heart burn. There are many symptoms to the problem however, some of the main symptoms include
Burning in throat
Burning in chest
Bitter taste in mouth
The symptoms are usually mild but there are also occasions when the sensation reaches to such a peak that it makes you wonder whether you are having an actual heart attack. Due to the pain involved t is very important to have prior knowledge about the acid reflex remedies for this problem. The knowledge is bound to come in handy in case of an unexpected attack.
There are certain remedies for acid reflex. One of the main reasons for acid reflex is food. It is very important to avoid certain types of food in order to avoid acid reflex. The first thing you need to do is which of the food you intake is triggering the process. Different people are allergic to different foods including onion, garlic, citrus fruits, tomatoes, peppermint and chocolate. Some beverages that have a concentration of caffeine and alcohol are also cause of the problem in some people. What you need to is avoid using your suspected food for some time and observe whether you are still having trouble. If the problem persists even after stopping the intake of your suspected food then you have a different culprit.
Another acid reflex remedy is to control you eating habits. Researches have shown that if you eat to your fullest or you stomach is too full then it will result in causing a pressure to the muscles at the base of esophagus called Lower Esophageal sphincter or LES. What LES does is that when you eat food it opens up to esophagus, after the food has entered the stomach it closes then lid. The reason for this is to make sure that none of the digestive acids leaks out. If the stomach is too full then it will put pressure on LES resulting in the escape of the digestive acids and the triggering of acid reflex.
And if you are a regular smoker then your smoking habit will cause LES to not close tightly. This will result in frequent heart burn. Or another thing that you might be interested in doing is avoiding stress. Stress also contributes towards acid reflex.
Acid reflex is not good for your body but there are many remedies around to avoid it.

After she had just "killed" elmo on xmas.
When I decided to force her to wear a hoodie because it was cold outside
What you can't see here is her cleverness. I've never had such a fiendishly clever critter. She learned tricks without exactly being taught (she would gladly stand up and turn in a circle for a treat), she knew if she stacked shoes up she could climb them and get to door knobs or windows and freak me out. With her in the room folding laundry became a game of hide and seek. She never turned down an opportunity to play, she was never cross or moody. She loved being in the car and seeing new places. How could I not miss her?
Pete and I so appreciate everyone's love and support. I especially feel lucky to have so many people who "get it". I love you guys, thanks for sticking by me.
