The Lighter Side
Leather
When a woman wears leather clothing, a man's heart beats faster. His throat gets dry. He gets weak in the knees and begins to think irrationally.
Ever wonder why?
She smells like a new truck!
Old man
He was eating lunch at a truck stop when three bikers walked in. The first pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, then took a seat at the counter.
The second spit in the old man's milk, then took a seat at the counter. The third turned his plate over and then took a seat at the counter.
The old man left without a word. One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man is he?"
The waitress replied: "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his truck over three motorcycles."
What to do
An elderly couple just bought cellphones and learned how to text. She was the romantic type and one afternoon sent him this message.
"If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.
If you are laughing, send me your smile.
If you are eating, send me a bite.
If you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you."
The husband texted back to her: "I'm in the bathroom. Please advise."

What you should know about Lyme disease
Tick bite rates are soaring across the U.S. as the hungry arachnids expand their typical geographic areas and stay active for longer periods each year. According to Healthline, that means that Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses are on the rise, too.
Lyme disease is most commonly associated with bites from deer ticks. Before feeding, these sesame seedsized bugs sport brown or reddish-brown bodies with dark plates that resemble shields on their backs. They're most prevalent in the Northeast and Midwest, particularly in wooded areas.
In humans, Lyme disease can develop as quickly as one day after a bite. The classic early symptom is erythema migrans, which is a bulls-eye shaped rash around the bite. Other early symptoms can include fever, chills, enlarged lymph nodes, vision changes, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. In its later stages, complications from Lyme disease can include meningitis and heart arrhythmias.
Both early and advanced Lyme disease are treatable with antibiotics, though complications may take time to resolve.
The best way to combat Lyme disease is not to get it in the first place. Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants on walks in wooded areas, ideally in lighter colors that will make it easier to spot a dark-colored tick. Apply bug repellent that contains permethrin to the outside of your clothing, use DEET repellent on your skin, and stay away from areas with heavy undergrowth. After you return home, check yourself (plus kids and pets) for any unwelcome hitchhikers, and throw your hiking clothes in the dryer to let the heat kill any ticks you didn't see.
If you find a tick embedded in your skin, use a tissue to firmly grasp the body and gently pull it out. Don't yank it -- this might leave the tick's head still stuck in your skin. Once the tick is out, clean the area and your hands with soapy water (or hand sanitizer if soapy water is unavailable) and flush the tick down the toilet or drown it in rubbing alcohol as soon as possible. If you're out in the woods when you remove the tick, trap it in a sealed container (such as a plastic baggie) until you can safely dispose of it.
Eat these veggies to reduce colon cancer risk
If you weren't sold on broccoli just yet, it might be time to reconsider your position after a new study found that higher consumption of cruciferous vegetables was associated with a significantly decreased risk of colon cancer.
According to Fox News, Chinese researchers analyzed data from 17 studies with nearly 640,000 total participants and found that the group that ate the most vegetables were 17 percent less likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer than the group that ate the most vegetables.
Researchers found that the cancerfighting benefits started with participants who ate just 20 grams of vegetables per day. The benefits stacked up with higher vegetable consump-
tion, leveling off at about 40 grams per day.
Cruciferous vegetables, which includes broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower, contain compounds called glucosinolates that break down into substances called isothiocyanates during digestion. Isothiocyanates can help kill damaged cells or slow or stop the growth of unhealthy or potentially malignant cells.
While the researchers noted some limitation in the study's design, the data still illustrates a strong link between lower vegetable consumption and colon cancer. Low consumption of dietary fiber and vegetables and excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption are all associated with increased risk of colon cancer.

Eli Lilly to seek approval for new weight
loss drug
Pharmaceutical manufacturer Eli Lilly has announced that it will seek approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the weight loss drug orforglipron. According to the New York Times, the GLP-1 drug is administered in a daily pill, unlike popular injectable GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy. Participants in Lilly's clinical trials lost an average of 27.3 pounds each.
Pancreatic cancer vaccine shows promise
Early trials of a one-size-fits-all pancreatic cancer vaccine indicates that it may be effective at preventing recurrence of difficult-to-treat pancreatic cancers. According to NBC News, the vaccine targets KRAS gene mutations, which are associated with up to 90 percent of pancreatic cancers and 40 percent of colorectal cancers. The vaccine stimulates an immune response that targets and destroys cells with KRAS mutations.
Experts say that "Ozempic blindness" fears may be overblown
GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may slightly increase the risk of certain eye conditions and vision loss, but experts say that there's no reason to panic. According to two new studies published in the journal JAMA, patients with type 2 diabetes who take GLP-1s may face a modestly increased risk of diabetic retinopathy, but are still at decreased overall risk of life-threatening complications. The study authors recommended regular screening and monitoring to detect potential vision complications early.
