Spring Rippled in | Authspot

Spring Rippled in | Authspot



Spring rippled in this year sweet as a song,and I loved every minute of it. I didn’t even complain about the heat of summer. I took it all in stride, but at the thought of winter, I'm dreading the cold winds while the temps are still in the 90s.


Spring Rippled In


Spring rippled in on a warm emerald breeze

Capering,dancing, pulling on her leash

She breathed on meadows and fields lying fallow

Woke minnows and tadpoles asleep in the shallows



Old Sol came alive fiery and hot

Summer strolled into the melting pot

We wore our shorts, halters and crops

Climbed the hills till we crested the tops


We hiked the trails and swam in the pools

Walked the board walks and played the fool

We sat on the deck swinging in the breeze

Or lounged on the couch watching limpid TV



Long summer days were sweet as a song

Now the cool breath of autumn tells me they are gone

Emerald will change to yellow and red

Magenta and orange will raise up their heads


Her Majesty autumn will yank on her leash

She wasn’t cut out to be mild and meek

So pull out your sweaters, mufflers and shawls

The seasons will change in spite of us all


It sounds so forlorn but let it be known

I will suffer the wind freezing my bones

I will shiver,shake, complain and moan

And wish for summer all winter long

What to Expect From a Colonoscopy | Healthmad

What to Expect From a Colonoscopy | Healthmad

A colonoscopy is a screening test for colon cancer. It is uncomfortable but doctors recommend you have your first screening at age 50 and thereafter every ten years, unless you have a family history of colon cancer, if so, you will need to be tested earlier and every five years. New testing that is less invasive is being done on certain individuals. Ask your doctor if it would be better for you. It requires no sedation and you avoid much of the discomfort of a regular colonoscopy.

Discarded embryonic stem cells are being put to good use in a trial run of injections for paralyzed patients. They have proved to work in rats and now volunteers are opting for treatments in hopes of getting their legs back. One such patient is Timothy Atchison who lives in Chatom, Alabama. He was paralyzed from the chest down last year in a car accident.

Everyone is Doing It | Healthmad

Everyone is Doing It | Healthmad

Just because your kid says everyone is doing it, is no reason to let your child do something foolish. Breast enhancement, nose jobs and tattoos are not for children. When your child wants to follow the herd, remind her or him, she’s an individual and much too smart to be coerced into what everyone else is doing. Your kid is a smart cookie and should be playing her own game.

Black and White Family Descendants Meet | Socyberty

Black and white family descendants met some time back at the Weems home plantation in Henry county. Many met for the first time and exchanged interesting information. They had lunch at the Baptist church near the plantation and visited the slave grave yard, which is the largest in Georgia and likely in the whole south. These descendants fulfilled Martin Luther Kings, "I have a Dream" speech.
