1). “Being a Primary Carer for a relative with Alzheimer’s disease – The Long Goodbye”
“I am a Carer”. There you go, “straight off the bat” as they say, I write this article (the first in a series) in my role as a Primary Carer first and author second. At present I am the primary carer for my elderly mother who is suffering from the advance stages of Alzheimer’s disease. It is desperately cruel disease (most are, I know) in that it robs people (by and large) of their dignity and their independence at a stage in life when they need it most.
2). International Adoption – Is it possible to Triumph from Tragedy
In the early hours of Dec 26th 2004 the Western world awoke to the unfolding horror that we came to know as the Asian Tsunami.

4). The Day “Live Fast Die Young” started to lose its appeal
Somehow the youthful notion of “live fast, die young!” becomes less appealing as the days go by. Funny that, isn’t it?
I remember the day well, it all started in May 1997 with a routine (or so I thought) Doctors appointment in the morning and then the usual rounds of trying to keep clients and staff happy. It was the day of my thirty ninth birthday and so I was looking forward to the celebratory dinner engagement later that evening.

Alcohol and High Blood Pressure, wow, this is a good one (he says putting down his pint, only joking). Consuming Alcohol and High Blood Pressure as an issue is a real conundrum.

Caffeine, Good or Bad for the Blood Pressure?
