Best Prescription Eyeglasses for Kids

As a mother of a child entering the big school, I now worry if she will be needing a pair of eyeglasses any time soon. Aside from her favorite story books, she has to read 7 to 8 text books daily.

Good thing there are $ 8 Rx eyeglasses at Zenni Optical. They are not only affordable but also fashionable. Knowing kids these days, you can’t force them to wear something which are out of fashion. Moreover, I know it won’t be tough to convince my daughter to wear prescription eyeglasses if she sees Zenni Optical on TV!!! We all know media’s effect on kids these days, right? And here’s more: a famous blogger just gave a High Five to Zenni Optical because of the quality and affordability of their eyeglasses. Way to go, Zenni Optical!

What is Mesothelioma?

For many of us, mesothelioma is a strange word. I, for one, have encountered this word just late last year. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the mesothelial cells which line the lungs, heart, and stomach. These cells play an important role in our bodies by protecting the said these organs through producing a lubricating fluid that allows these organs to move smoothly. Malignant mesotheliomas arise from the cells that surround the surface of the pleura or the peritoneum.

Approximately 2000 new cases are diagnosed each year. It is one rare disease with an incidence of one to three cases per 1 million persons per year.

Apparently, heavy exposure to asbestos causes malignant mesothelioma. Moreover, there are reported cases of mesothelioma in family members of asbestos workers and people who reside near asbestos mines. Symptoms include shortness of breath and pain with breathing, with malaise and weight loss.

Unfortunately, as of this moment, there is no effective treatment for malignant mesothelioma. Average survival of persons suffering from mesothelioma is one to two years. But thanks to emerging treatments and early diagnosis, there are patients who have lived longer.

God Wants Me to Know (7/16/09)

And today’s message is:

 

“Suzanne got a message that on this day, God wants her to know...

... that when the sun rises, it rises for you.
Yes, for you. Just for you. Only for you. You are it, everything, the whole universe with all the billion galaxies and stars. The separateness you feel is only a mask you have put on to enjoy this human form. Under the mask, your shape is All. How far can you now feel your Self expand? To your parent?... to your child?... to your friend?... to a stranger on a street?... half way around the globe?”
