See These Food and Breakfast Secrets

                                      

If you don’t eat breakfast regularly, then you've probably heard that you should get used to eating breakfast every day. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" is the desperate cry of parents everywhere.

Reflections:Can You Recognize The Suprises in Your Life?

                                      

I’m thinking about those moments when life is moving along smoothly, it looks like you have a good view of where things are headed, you’re making progress … and then all of a sudden, surprise! A total about-face happens. Something that forces you to change and pushes you in a different direction. A complete game changer.

I find those “surprise” moments kind of scary. Having no control over a situation feels like a free fall. Not my thing. It’s at those times when my best-laid plans are strewn around me like worthless debris, and I hear in my head the words, “Man proposes but God disposes.”

I have the choice to just “go with it” or try to force and steer things back to my cherished plans. Really, it’s not so much of a choice as it is a mental attitude. Half the time, the outcome is obvious, and holding on to my plans is clearly only going to prolong the inevitable. Still, it’s hard to let go.

This weird looking bladder stone was removed from a man.

Bladder stones form when the bladder isn't fully emptied and according to a paper in the journal Obstetrics and Gynaecology, men account for 95% of all cases. While some men won't have any symptoms, their stones are discovered during an X-ray or scan for another medical condition, others will suffer pain in the bladder area, blood in the urine, cloudy urine or difficulty passing it.

You may pass out bladder stones that are smaller than 1cm via urine. But bigger stones such as this one, which is 4cm by 4cm, need surgery.
