Atrial Fibrillation and Some Colourful Lives

I got this joke from Ploughing Through Life:




Here is this informative video on Atrial Fibrillation from the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Find out if you are at risk. This condition can triple your risk of stroke.

And if you enjoy reading biographies of interesting people, I read about John McAfee in the newspaper recently, what a colourful life he has had.
He is the antivirus pioneer. 'NASA programmer, drug dealer, technology guru, so-called “eccentric millionaire” living a bizarre existence in Belize surrounded by dogs, armed guards and young women'.

And Chuck Hughes of Food Network's 'Chuck's Day Off'  is promoting his new book and has also lived a lot in his 36 years.  Here is the article I read in the newspaper. 'Chuck Hughes talks food and kicking booze and drugs'.

    My friend has atrial fibrillation. I feel so sorry for her. I don't know those other people you mentioned. I must be hiding under a rock. Lol.

    I can really relate to the proof-reading cartoon. Sometimes, I just totally miss it though!

    Ha! Funny. I've definitely made my share of proofreading errors... Sigh, I try not to, but some slip by... Didn't know Mcafee had such an interesting life...
