It's a Dog's Life (McGrowl)It's a Dog's Life by Bob Balaban

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Mcgrowl was an interesting book but i would not request it to anyone to read. The reason why i would not request anyone to read it is because, it’s boring, not a high reading level, and is very easy to guess what’s going to happen next.

This book is not very interesting. to tell you the truth it put me to sleep every night, witch a good book would not due. While reading this book I found that none of the parts where good enough to catch a readers eye. The book was not detailed enough. For real would you want to read a book that’s not going to keep your attention.

Throughout my years reading I have rose on the reading level of books I read. I’ve went from being in special classes to being in honors classes, and through that time my reading level have been with me. This book was not only boring it was not at a high reading level which means the text was meant for younger readers.

Finally, when reading a book I like when you anxious to hear what’s going to happen next. In this book I seriously could guess what was happening next all the way through the book. If that is how a book is suppose to be than there would be no point continuing reading.

So for all you out there that where thinking about reading this book, and have a pretty high reading level, I don’t recommend this book to you.

Obesity


Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is more than just a cosmetic concern, though. It increases your risk of diseases and health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure. here is a scale on the obeese ppl and under weight ppl
18.5 Underweight
18.5 — 24.9 Normal
25.0 — 29.9 Overweight
30.0 and higher Obese
I feel that people should take better responsibility for the body's. they should not have to suffer from something you can control.

Depression


Depression is an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts, that affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. People with a Depression cannot seem to "pull themselves together" and get better. Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, can help most people with depression. Estimates on how many adolescents experience depression vary from 3% to 6%. At any given time, from 2%to 10% of school-age children are suffering from depression. Depression also tends to be more common in adolescents who have a history of depression in their families. Parents; you should be aware of this and keep you children by your side to cut out all that can be depressing

Anxiety


Everyone feels anxious from time to time, like when you're running late or interviewing for a job. People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), feel some anxiety or worry almost all the time. This is not healthy. People should have someworries in there life but should not always worry about one thing or another. GAD affects their body, too. In fact, many people with generalized anxiety disorder visit their doctor with problems — like sleep troubles or muscle aches, without understanding these are common symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. About 5% of U.S. adults experience generalized anxiety disorder at some point during their lifetime, and about 3% have it in any given year.Restlessness or a feeling of being "keyed up" or "on edge"
Being easily fatigued, Difficulty concentrating or a sense of your mind going blank ,Irritability, Muscle tension, and Difficulty sleeping are syptoms.
Other physical symptoms associated with generalized anxiety disorder include,
Trembling, twitching, muscle soreness, Headaches, sweating or chills, nausea,dizziness, Shortness of breath, Diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome,and Being easily startled. So keep this in mind just incase you or someclose is being tormented by this disease.

breast cancer

A study published online June 5, 2010, in The Lancet shows that for some women with invasive breast cancer a single dose of radiotherapy delivered at the time of surgery may be an alternative to a standard course of external beam radiotherapy.
Breast cancer is a deadly disease that effect thousands of americans each year. Seventy-seven percent of women with breast cancer are over 50. More than 1.7 million women who have had breast cancer are still alive in the United States thanks to doctors and technology. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women between the ages of 15 and 54, and the second cause of cancer death in women 55 to 74. Be aware of this and look at the facts not the drama

Chicken pox


Chickenpox is a common childhood illness with 90 percent of the cases occurring in children younger than ten years of age. Before the availability of the varicella vaccine in the U.S., almost everyone developed chickenpox. Most people who are vaccinated will not get chickenpox. Those who are vaccinated and develop chickenpox usually have a mild form of the illness. They have fewer spots and recover faster.Chickenpox is transmitted from person to person by directly touching of blisters, saliva or mucus of an infected person. symptoms include sudden onset of slight fever and feeling tired and weak. as i hear from every one getting chicken pox when your young is much better than getting them when your old.

Bird flu

Many birds around the world are getting sick and dying from a severe form of bird flu called “Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1.” Sometimes it is referred to as HPAI H5N1. This form of bird flu has not been found in the United States. But it may
come to this country sometime in the future.
Bird flu is hard for people to catch. Most people who became sick with bird flu came into contact with sick or dead chickens or ducks and touched them with bare hands.
You could also get bird flu by touching things that had droppings from
sick or dead birds on them. Thoroughly cooking meat kills the bird flu virus.Birds can carry many kinds of germs that can make us sick.
A bird could look fine and still be sick.
If you MUST handle a sick or dead bird, wear gloves and wash
your hands afterwards!!!!!!
