We have a slew of clients who are running a lifestyle business. They like to be known as solopreneurs, but with annual turnovers less than $ 50,000, creating a formal business enterprise is not in the cards- because the return on investment would be too low. (We do have a bunch who clearly want to have at least $ 50,000 BELOW the line- those clearly need more formal structures.)

I’ve written about this before. Most recently this past June. So, why am I writing about this again?

Well, given the inanity in Washington, I thought today would be a good day to discuss one of the craziest delusions of the bunch-paraskevidekatriaphobia and it’s related delusion- triskadekaphobia. What are these? Fear of Friday the 13th and of the number 13, in general.

So, many of you may recall, that my youngest son married the love of his life a few weeks ago. Which means my children all have found (and the oldest ones maintained) a loving relationship for a long time.

Not exactly the news for which we hoped.
Most of us know in our bones that stem cells can provide a great deal of benefit for us. Whether we grow those stem cells to create new kidneys or new hearts to deal with our ailing folks or use stem cells to create new skin for those who have suffered terrible burns, we look forward to the day that stem cell research will be fully allowed.

My generation.
No, despite sharing the video above, I am not really reliving one of my favorite tunes from The Who.

I have written many times about this. (Here’s one of my first hints.) And, many folks looked askance or made negative comments. But, for those who know me, that didn’t mean I would back down on my scientific hunch. Now, there’s data to substantiate what I felt in my bones.

I’ve written how we often discovered antibiotics. Simple. By sampling mud, ponds, habitats where microbes thrive and try to find the one strain that inhibits the growth of other microbes. Not a very efficient process- and one that provides less benefit now that we’ve discovered a slew of microbes. We just can’t seem to find a new one that works, to bolster our arsenal against disease.
