Happy Friday from a mostly wet part of the
planet. They say April showers bring May
flowers. Well then, what do the May showers
bring? June weeds, perhaps?
The thing is, March and much of April were
relatively dry to the extent that the good
news was that the mosquito population would
be kept down. Now I don’t know.
Anyway, I thought this would be a good day
to get something off my mind… stress.
I try not to let it bother me when I’m going
through a stressful period, because it’s
caused health effects in the past for me.
I even wrote a book about stress, as those
who have followed me for quite a while will
remember, so I know how dangerous it can
be, and how it can break out in so many
different ways.
So when I landed in the E.R. on Sunday
morning, again, for the urinary retention
problem I’ve had before, I tried to think
about what might have caused it this time.
In the past, I’ve been able to blame some
dietary reasons, but this time, nope, no
problem there.
It had been quite a while since the last
time, and I thought I had it licked with
my dietary changes.
And then I thought, eureka! I’ve been feeling
the effects of stress for about a month, which
began with a family member’s situation when
down in Atlantic City.
And then I remembered that suddenly I let
it get the best of me and I was angry at my
wife on a few occasions for trivial things,
that normally roll off my back.
Which happened again Saturday night.
And then Sunday morning, my body shut down
on me. I drove myself to the E.R., got it
sort of taken care of, and came home in
time to celebrate Mother’s Day as planned.
So, lesson learned. As they say, those who
ignore history are doomed to repeat it,
and I’ve known that stress has affected
my health for the last 35 to 40 years in
other very noticeable ways.
Now there’s one more way it’s found to
get me to notice it, and calm down.
Because who knows how the stress will
break out in me next time. I don’t even
want to think about that. This last
one was painful enough, and embarrassing
and frustrating enough.
Bottom line, it got my attention, and
maybe my experiences might make you
more aware and careful. That would be
a good thing. 
Now, back to normal, let’s see what’s
been happening in the forum.

Remember, there’s a special section in the forum
called “Special Offers (By Authors), where members
offer their products at a special price to members.
I’d rather not highlight each one individually,
so that this email doesn’t start looking like a
classified ad section, but sometimes you can get
some nice bargains and support your forum friends,
so please remember to check it out next time
you drop by the forum:

Reminder: If you’re new to Earn1KaDay, or didn’t
remember this, all the weekly emails, from the
beginning of time, are archived on the blog here:

If you ever miss an email, or want to check the
archives, you can always go there and do a search.
Another reminder: I get asked (a lot) about the
affiliate program to Earn1KaDay. A thread was set
up long ago with details, here:

That’s just a short review of some of the highlights,
there is much more going on all the time at the
forum. Don’t be a stranger there, that’s where the
primary value of your membership is, after all.
We’re not there to chat so much (though there is a
lounge there if you want to unwind), we’re there to
learn from each other, and share with each other,
and as you can see from the above sample threads,
there’s a lot of that happening.
