QUOTES
Less ego, more wealth. Saving money is the gap between your ego and your income, and wealth is what you don't see. So wealth is created by suppressing what you could buy today in order to have more stuff or more options in the future.
Morgan Housel
More people can be greater leaders than they think they can, but they need a purpose greater than themselves.
William J. Clinton, 42nd president of the United States.
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
Frequently attributed to Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United State
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, "Press on," has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States, from a sign on his desk.
Any man worth his salt will stick up for what he believes right, but it takes a slightly better man to acknowledge instantly and without reservation that he is in error.
Andrew Jackson, 7th president of the United States
Live without pretending, Love without depending, Listen without defending, Speak without offending.

The Lighter Side
Rice Preference
The young woman really thought she'd been very patient through a protracted period of dating with no talk of marriage.
One night her steady boyfriend took her to a Chinese restaurant. As he perused the menu, he casually asked her, "So . . . how do you like your rice? Boiled? Steamed? Or fried?"
Without missing a beat, she looked over her menu at him and replied clearly, "Thrown."
Talking Clock
While proudly showing off his new apartment to friends late one night, one wag led the way to his bedroom where there was a big brass gong.
"What's that big brass gong for?" one of the guests asked.
"Why, that's the talking clock," the man replied. "Watch", the man said, giving the gong an ear-shattering pound with a hammer.
Suddenly, someone on the other side of the wall screamed, "F'gosh sakes, you idiot, it's 2 a.m. in the morning!"
Apples
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

Men's Health Week: June 9-15
Afraid to see a doctor? Don't be!
There's a chronic health problem among American men: They are more much more likely to avoid going to the doctor.
According to UAB Medicine, only about 60 percent of American men between the ages of 22 and 65 receive an annual physical, and many men will only seek care if they suspect a serious medical problem. And the Cleveland Clinic has found that about 65 percent of men will avoid going to the doctor for as long as possible.
infections. Many of these issues could have been detected earlier or prevented entirely with more routine medical care and annual physicals.
Dr. Patrick Selph, a urologist with UAB Medicine, notes that avoiding routine medical care means that medical conditions may go undetected for years. In his own clinic, Selph routinely diagnoses patients with diabetes or high blood pressure after they seek care for unrelated complaints like urinary tract
Why do people avoid care? Cost, inadequate insurance coverage, not enough local providers, and lack of time are some of the most common obstacles, according to Nashville Medical News. But avoidance is common even if care is readily available. According to Texas Health, around one-quarter of men have felt judged by healthcare providers, and nearly half fear uncomfortable discussions about their sexual health. Other anxiety-provoking topics include their workout frequency, alcohol and to-

Artificial dyes are going away; will you notice?
The magenta filling inside a Pop-Tart, the nuclear glow of a sour apple lollipop, and the powdered drink mix that turns dark purple with water. The saturated colors that you see in these and thousands of other commercially prepared foods usually come from artificial food dyes -- but may not for much longer after the federal government announced its plan to completely remove petroleum-based synthetic dyes from the U.S. food supply.
ficial colors to heightened cancer risks and behavioral problems in kids.
According to NBC News, nine of the 36 FDA-approved food dyes are derived from petroleum. The other 27 approved colors are derived from vegetables and other natural sources. While researchers have not yet found a clear causal relationship between food dyes and health complications, studies have already linked arti-
The push to eliminate artificial colors from the food supply is nothing new. According to CNN, the FDA announced a ban on red dye No. 3 during the Biden administration. California enacted its own statewide prohibition in 2023. Red 3 is already banned in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and several other countries, along with a number of other artificial colors that the U.S. allows (at least for now).
Food manufacturers will certainly feel the impact of the ban if it takes effect, but consumers are unlikely to notice much of a difference. The additives don't impact taste, and natural alternatives are widely available.
Health in the News
Daily pill may be as effective as Ozempic
A new GLP-1 drug may be as effective as Ozempic and Mounjaro for weight loss and blood sugar control with just a daily pill. The New York Times reports that orforglipron from drugmaker Eli Lilly produced similar results in clinical trials as injectable GLP-1 drugs, which must be carefully transported and refrigerated until use. Lilly plans to seek approval later this year and the new drug is expected to hit the market in 2026.

count may be the key to
reducing cancer risk
Intense workouts may not be necessary to reap the cancer-preventing benefits of exercise. According to a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, even light physical activity like walking is associated with significantly decreased risk for certain types of cancer. Study participants who averaged 7,000 steps per day (regardless of intensity) were 11 percent less likely to develop cancer, while those who clocked in at 9,000 were 16 percent less likely.
Marijuana use linked with dementia
People who require emergency care or hospitalization related to marijuana use are substantially more likely to develop dementia than other patients, according to a new study published in the journal JAMA Neurology. Researchers examined medical records for more than 6 million Ontario residents and found that people who sought care for cannabis-related reasons were 23 percent more likely to develop dementia within five years compared to other patients during the same period, and 72 percent more likely to develop dementia at any point. Regular cannabis users are also nearly 25 percent more likely to require emergency care and hospitalization.
