Random Jottings

1) I must apologise on behalf of blogspot.com for the multiple postings you've been getting. I've written to their support and hopefully they'll sort out this problem soon. I've configured this blog to send ONE copy of every new posting to my Fan Club mailing list. However, for the past few days, it's been sending MULTIPLE copies, at least three. Until blogspot sorts this out, please delete the extra copies. No need to tell me. We are aware of the problem and blogspot is diagnosing their system. FYI, they are moving their servers to a new location and for the time being, their system is using a temporary server. So the three copies may be coming one each from the old server, the temporary server and the new server. So please bear with it until their transition is completed and they shut down their old and temporary servers.

2) I saw the moon and Mars in the western sky at 8.30 pm last night. My, were they beautiful. The moon was a sharp crescent and within a few degrees of Mars and both were a beautiful glowing orange.

3) Took the maid to the clinic yesterday evening ~ she was complaining of pains in her lower abdomen. The doctor at the 24-hr clinic I took her to said he suspected an ovarian cyst. He wanted to do a urine test but since the maid was having her menses, that would make the test inaccurate. He decided to refer her to the gynae next door for an ultrasound scan. Turned out she has a fibroid in her uterus the size of a large mango. Need to take her to GH for an operation soon.

4) But doctors can be such quacks at times. One of my cousins was told she had a fibroid in her uterus. They opened her up and found nothing. It doesn't matter if the state-of-the-art of medical diagnostic imaging isn't perfect; surely, the doctor should have done other collaboratives tests? For example, palpating the uterus manually would have given some indication if a fibroid was present or not. Bodoh kan?

5) One of my friends, Maria Joy Rowan, would be on TV3 at 9.30 pm tomorrow, Wednesday, Feb 25. The program is called EXPLORACE and she is one of the participants.
