Variations of the To Do List

Sometimes I try too hard to be organized.  I enjoy making lists so much that I never get around to doing many of the items on the list. I don't really like the name "To Do" for a list. If you put a hyphen to connect the words it becomes a "To-Do" list.  A "to-do is a commotion, fuss, or quarrel."  Even though to do lists often cause commotions, fusses and quarrels it's not what they're supposed to do . A "task list" is not any better.    Here are some definitions for the word "task". 1. a specific piece of work required to be done as a duty or chore 2. an unpleasant or difficult job or duty 3. a difficult or tedious undertaking. An agenda is even more useless and confusing.  Here are some definitions: 1. things to be done or a list of those things. 2. (functioning as singular) Also called agendum a schedule or list of items to be attended to. 3. (functioning as plural) Also called agendas agendums matters

Aspirin Isn't Always So Good for You

Recently I learned of the dangers of even a baby aspirin taken once a day.  I'd like to share this with you. The reduction in heart attacks and strokes in people taking aspirin was almost counterbalanced by major bleeding in the gastrointestinal system and the brain. The researchers concluded that for individuals without previously diagnosed cardiovascular disease, “aspirin is of uncertain net value.”  Aspirin should not be recommended as an across-the-board option to help healthy people prevent heart attack and stroke. ~from Harvard Medical School newsletter Here's more from this site: Aspirin for cancer prevention- promising, but not proven
