an according to the statistics I have read It happens between 4 and 6 in the morning on a Monday. Having said that when I make it to 6 am on Monday I feel I have the week made.

2. An aspirin
a day keeps death away. That's what I do, anyway. Also, a bottle of beer, or glass of wine.

3. I had my first
heart attack at the age of 43 at 11 p.m. on a Thursday. Had 2nd 3 days after that. Had third at 10 a.m. on the 9th of June 2003 at the age of 65. In the past 23 years I have also had 3 strokes. We have a long history of this in our family starting with my father, uncles grandfather, great grandfather,great great grandfather. I have hardening of the arteries just like they did. Even with the 11 pills a day that I need, along with the nitro, I have frequent angina attacks.
My hope is to live long enough to see all bushco criminals executed.

4. Not mine
My first one occurred at about noon. The second was a week later at about 4:40 p.m. I didn't have health insurance so I toughed them out. Later, I got Medicare and there wasn't a lot to be done. I have a blocked artery but I seem to be getting by.

The aspirin a day is good advice.
