My Healthy Vet is an Effective Tool
The A-Team meeting on Jan. 22 at the ole 2nd Street Fire Station was very informative for those in attendance. Every veteran is welcome to attend these mostly administrative gatherings.
The main topic of the discussion on this day was the ability of veterans to take better care of themselves. Some do, but the majority doesn’t. One tool developed by the VA is MyHealthyVet.com, a program designed to develop a baseline for the vet, and a permanent record of contacts with the VA.

Ensuring that veterans continue to receive the healthcare promised
Congressional Research Service, which provides analysis for Congress, issued a 2003 report that found veterans were not entitled to free medical care for life, even though they may have been promised exactly that by their recruiters.

On January 24, we’ll experience a full moon. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, some Native American cultures refer to this as the Wolf’s Moon. Legend claims this is a time when hungry wolves come out to wail at the moon. Madame G suggests releasing some tension. You don’t need to wail at the moon just hit a pillow. It won’t do any good, but you might feel better.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Are your efforts working against you? Perhaps you’re running uphill on a treadmill with a bolder. You may even feel like howling at the moon. It won’t do any good. It may relieve some stress and make you feel better for a short time, but it’s not permanent. Work on meaningful...
