Linda and her fossil camel tooth

At the end of the year all sorts of “wrap up” articles appear, about every conceivable thing.  Here is one that fits the mission of this blog.:

The essence:

1)      Taking baby aspirin regularly helps ward off ovarian cancer.

2)      Taking non-steroidal, non-aspirin, pain killers (think Tylenol) doesn.t help with OVCA, and in fact may be harmful.

3)      Taking full-sized aspirin tablets is a waste of time.  100 mg will do.

4)      If you’re old and trying to stretch out your Social Security benefits (by living longer), don’t bother with aspirin.  It doesn’t help.

I am heading for Borrego Springs pretty soon, where I will have to contend with my $19.98 laptop, cranky internet service, and the temptation to nap in my sun room.  You may be spared a few blog entries for the next few months.  Seize the opportunity to read some old ones.
