Long-term use of osteoporosis drugs linked to hip breaks

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:49:00 -0500

Long-term use of osteoporosis drugs linked to hip breaks:

I believe one day we’ll look back on chronic disease medications we’re supposed to take every day for decades and finally realize that reductionist medicine via a simple pill never really worked.

The article refers to women over the age of 50 who use these bisphosphonate drugs for more than 5 years. I’ve been on Fosamax+D for about 2.5 years, but am also a 27-year-old male who was diagnosed with osteoporosis caused by prolonged use of prednisone, and thus in a very small minority of users. I have to wonder how this news affects me.

This was my favorite Zach Galifianakis skit from this week’s SNL. I think Gonch’s choice took an easy second.

Flights into Spokane are going for $350 right now. That gets you great gate times with only one layover. The problem is that I don’t even know if that is “cheap” or not. That, and I need to get someone else committed to going so we can book flights.

Dear asshole who plowed out the driveway across the street from me:

Thanks.

I really appreciate how you pushed all of the show *up into* my front yard. I’m not sure why leaving it in the street where the city plows could take care of it was such an issue. Regardless, I look forward to sending you my landscaping bill when I have to reseed that entire patch of grass the you dragged you plow across this spring.

With warm regards,

James

DMB tickets went on sale to the public today and I see posts all over about people picking theirs up. All this makes me think of is THE GORGE show in just over 6 months.

This is so accurate, it’s terrifying.

“OCCASIONAL SNOW TODAY WILL BECOME HEAVIER TONIGHT. BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WILL INCREASE AS WINDS AVERAGE 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH.

SNOW AMOUNTS WILL LIKELY BE ENHANCED FROM A FLOW OFF OF LAKE ERIE AND LAKE HURON. BY FRIDAY EVENING SNOWFALL TOTALS IN THE WARNING AREA WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM 6 TO 12 INCHES. THE HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE LIKELY IN THE SNOWBELT AND HIGHER TERRAIN.”

Old Man Winter is always good for one last gang bang around the end of February or beginning of March. Let’s hope this is it.
