The 10 Cancer Commandments

Cancer has been around forever and has not shown any signs of leaving any time soon. It has killed so many. How much more will it take? How much more can we take?

Personally, I would rather be doing other things right now than to have to watch my grandmother on the frontlines battling cancer… again, from 2,000 miles away. In fact, I just got a call two days ago from my siblings telling me grandma was rushed to the hospital again for some issues due to her diagnosis. Cancer is a beast!

After the jump, the homie Chuck Creekmur from AllHipHop allows his mother Syliva, a survivor of 20 years, to give us all some rather inspiring advice on how to identify and defeat cancer… Obey These Commandments!!!

WI Doctors In Trouble For Issuing Excuse Notes for Those Who Went to Madison|99Problems.org

IF you’re hiding under a rock and haven’t been paying attention to the controversy over the budget cutting in WI, you might wanna check out our Mad in Madison article.

What’s interesting is the amount of people who took off from work that day to show support or stand in ‘solidarity’. Apparently, school districts warned that teachers who missed time without prior approval or a doctor’s note could face disciplinary action, including docked pay for the days they were out. Someone must’ve thought, “why not have a doctor excuse booth with doctors on duty” because sure enough, there was a station there with active doctors distributing excuses to ‘stressed’ soon-to-be- unemployees.

Those same doctors who wrote medical notes over the weekend excusing protesters at the Wisconsin Capitol from work are getting slammed with angry phone calls and profane e-mails from people telling them they deserve to be thrown in jail, one doctor said Sunday.

Homes with a History Sicken Occupants

Been feeling sick lately? According to the New York Times, it might not be heat or a flu that’s to blame, but rather, your house. A steady increase in crystal meth use coupled with loose clean up laws means that more and more people are moving into homes contaminated with meth, remnants from former meth labs. This leaves unsuspecting home buyers with two choices: pay astronomical costs for a cleaning, or suffer the consequences of exposing their family and pets to high levels of a potent drug.

Since when is moving into a new home a cause for worry instead of celebration? And how the hell is no one responsible for ensuring old meth labs are cleaned out properly?
