You are welcome!
Yesterday I bought my MM tickets in a Mobil station and Hess station in da Bronx, and I got my PB tickets for tonight in those stations also, the ticket from Mobil station was the closest one, it had the same number groups, but not the correct numbers, just like my SM picks (lol). I wasn't going to go to the Bronx, but when I was on the Hutch Pkwy in Westchester going south, a radio host on that Rush Limbaugh station said he was down at the Castle Hill store in da Bronx yesterday, where someone won $250,000 on Tuesday so I decided to keep driving on the Hutch into the Bronx to get the tickets where I usually go. When I came home I checked the list on the NY Lottery web-site to see what Bronx store it was and I was surprised to see Hopewell Junction on the list also.
Last night's big MM winner bought the ticket in Albany, so at least I had the correct state, but the wrong store (lol). My girlfriend's son lives in Albany, so I just e-mailed her to ask her if he bought the winning ticket.
My aunt had her aortic valve replaced a few months ago, in West. Medical Center and she is doing good also, but she does not watch her diet that good, even after the surgery, so who knows how long the procedure will last before she needs more intervention with her heart.
I get it with Ed getting throat cancer at 58, there is a good chance he had high risk (cancer causing) HPV (human papillomavirus), HPV is very contagious and dangerous to males and females, it can be spread via skin to skin contact, sexual intercourse need not take place, even a virgin can get it. There is an HPV load in the saliva, so even deep (French) kissing can transmit it. Men have no HPV symptoms and there is no male medical testing for it. Males can get oral, penile, anal, and other cancers from HPV, women can get cervical, vaginal, oral, anal, and other cancers from HPV. Ed may have acquired HPV from his wife if she is infected, she can be infected and not know it if she wasn't tested for HPV, just getting a Pap smear isn't good enough to detect HPV, the HPV DNA test is required, many women don't know this and some facilities aren't doing the HPV/DNA test unless a woman asks for it. HPV oral cancer in younger men is on the rise, and it's predicted that it will be the leading cause of oral cancer in men during the next decade, taking the place of smoking.
There is an HPV vaccine called Gardasil that will protect a woman from SOME strains of HPV, and as of last year the FDA gave approval for a male vaccine for boys/men 9 yrs. old thru 26 yrs old, but the male vaccine only protects against low risk (wart causing) strains, but not the high risk cancer causing strains. The bottom line is the only partial protection from HPV for a women is the vaccine, and the only protection for men is to have any woman they have physical contact with, even just kissing or skin rubbing, tested with the HPV/DNA test, but even the HPV/DNA test isn't foolproof because HPV can lay dormant and the female will test negative, but it can resurface when the immune system weakens. This is why even if a person is married, they are not safe from HPV because the HPV can come out of dormancy at any time, even if the wife tested negative in the past.
As you can see, the HPV epidemic is a mess, the government is not doing enough to protect us from HPV, as a matter of fact, Obama had $400 million dollars earmarked for STD prevention in the stimulus plan, but the Republicans fought him on it, so the Democrats caved in and took out the money. The bottom line is that SEX IN AMERICA IS NO LONGER SAFE. Anyone who reads this please feel free to copy the HPV info and e-mail it to your loved ones, children, grandchildren, etc., you may save them from suffering with painful HPV medical treatments or even death.
Most women and men I know who are around my age don't date any longer for fear of HPV transmission (middle aged woman are too old for the vaccine), the statistics show that over 25% of single American females haven't dated in 10 years due to fears of STD transmission.
If all you posters aren't that busy, please send letters to your government reps and urge them to stop the spread of HPV in America by giving more money to STD research and prevention, you or your family's life may depend on it.
