Someone sent this Public Service Announcement that shared an insightful health message. Now, when I saw the title I opened it because it mentioned the word auction. Ah, one of the first things we must always do in blogging and ads is to capture attention with the title. It worked!
The video is in Italian with English subtitles. When it starts you are immediately swept into the excitement of a live auction. The value of the vase that is being sold is high, bids are high and the tension is high.
View the video below and tell me what you think-did you remember the health message?
This revealing blog post suggests that financial worries actually affect the sex lives of baby boomers. I believe it! Add to the mix caregiver woes, job woes, and health woes and sex can get put on the back burner instead of burning away the woes.
Mold can cause major health issues. I am concerned about what happens when folks have flooding in their homes. After the water is gone and things almost back to normal the mold madness can begin.
I am trained as a Community Health Educator. I still work as a Health Educator and actively maintain a blog on health issues. I also actively advocate using social media to promote public health messages. Hence, I belong to many public health pages and groups.
This page belongs to an innovative School of Public Health in Provo, Utah. It has several posts that provide great public health information. It also has volunteer and internship opportunities. I like it.
I am surprised that the entire school is not involved. There are a couple of videos and lots of pictures on the site. I encourage you to join because of the updated health information. If you are a student you will get career information and updates.

This video is aimed at hospital based infections. They are commonly called, HAI(Hospital Associated Infections.
Now, some folks do not want to ask health care providers or visitors to wash their hands. But mental discomfort now can mean physical discomfort later.
Sometimes people are picking up infections, from pneumonia to antibiotic-resistant staph (MRSA), while under treatment for other health problems, or even while just in the hospital having a baby. That’s a situation that could, and should, be completely avoidable.
Kimberly-Clark Health Care is on the forefront of protecting patients from Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) and has put together a site dedicated to that prevention called HAI Watch: Not on My Watch. The site has information for both healthcare professionals and healthcare consumers.
I just read this powerful article on the” 14 Mistakes Even Smart Women Make”. Now, since most of the folks reading this post are probably baby boomers or related to baby boomers I thought this article would be helpful.
I like it because it looks at some areas related to prevention we thought we knew but might have missed a step or two. Personally, I know more about lead poisoning as it relates to men and children. Never knew the work done related to stroke risk and women.
Of course, this means I will research this point a bit more but the suggestion the authors make regarding running water is a bona fide good practice to reduce the lead content in your water. You can visit great sites like Be In The Know NJ for great resources on lead poisoning.
I want to feature caregiver blogs for a few days. Why? Because not only am I a care giver but many, sooo many baby boomers are providing care for a loved one. Many are doing inhome care, site visits, or doing what they can long distance.
It can provide a strain, both emotionally and physically on the care giver.Although there are support groups out there many of us just don’t have that quality time to attend. Some of us get great therapy, hope and information from blogging.
So, if you have services or just plain support to save sanity regarding caregivers please share. Now if you want to be a guest blogger please email me, rosiehorner(at)gmail.com, with your blog post. Please I don’t want just ads but added value information that can help all that read this site.
Iwas first introduced to Zumba, virtually by Pam. One of my in-laws told me about Wii fitness. I am saving for that one. The bottom line is FITNESS! Moving this body.
Baby Boomer Pam has a great site on fitness. I saw this recent post on Pole Dancing and wanted to share it. I decided that it would be great fun and if I do it I will be sure that the pole is secure and ground is padded.
