It can be quite difficult to improve one's body when it won't cooperate. I tried to use a
"cleansing blended drink" with kale, lettuce, brocolli, a little gingeroot and carrots and
apple in it. But it became a rather "thick" drink and it seemed to "plug" things up! My
intestinal tract has not been nice to me since chemo and use of the drug "Femara." I can't
change my diet too extremely or I have irregularity problems and quite easily too! And passing
menopause doesn't seem to help either!

EPA, green cars, rainy weather
I have to admit, I am not much for going out in the rain -- the cold and windy rain, that is --
in the winter months. I don't get the exercise I should, though going to "Curves" for exercise
helps.
Last week we went to a Democrat sponsored event at a local restaurant and who should show up but none other than Terry McAuliffe! Terry has been a big fund-raiser for the Democratic Party for many years (I was going to mistakenly write a 'million' years -- no, it's just that he is so good at raising money that he has also begun several businesses and is now a multi-millionaire, apparently, and I wish I had his TYPE A personality). And he told us of his plan to help America; well, help Mississippi, anyway. He could have helped us here in Virginia but Virginia hasn't the smarts to bid on his project.
What he did was go to China and buy up a car plant. He is now bringing that plant to a city in Mississippi and guess what he will produce -- electric cars! And not only that, but he is going to sell these cars back to China! Well, Americans can get in on it too, and he says they will be cheap -- $10,000, which is $30,000 cheaper than the projected cost of the Chevy Volt. The only drawback is that they don't go too far on a charge -- something like 40-50 miles on a charge. If you live relatively close to your job and don't take long trips this would be ideal, especially as a second, run around the neighborhood to the store kind of car. I would like a car that doesn't spew nasty, unhealthy fumes. I think cancer survivors should get a special discount with this kind of vehicle. Maybe I should write Terry about this. He says the website is www.greentech.com. I believe that's right.
In the meantime, we need to email EPA to not knock down air quality standards. If this
is what the ignorant tea-partiers want to do, we need to let them know this is wrong. For the health of our lungs and the planet we need to reduce car fumes. I'm certain they don't help those with lung problems or a body made more vulnerable by cancer and cancer treatments. There is way too much cancer out there and we need to do something about that. Cleaning up the air would certainly help.
