I keep thinking about Twitter lately. All these Tweets are nice. You really can't say to much with only 140 characters, but I do think people read them more often because they are so short.

The biggest thing with Twitter I kind of worry about are all those shortened URL's. Tinyurl, Bit.ly, and others shorten a link so you can use more characters to actually says something. However, how does one really know where you will be taken to if you click on or visit the shortened URL posted? Will we be taken to some bogus site? A link to a virus? Malware? Spyware? Etc.? It just kind of worries me, and bugs me that I really have no idea where I'll be taken to if I click on one.

On the other hand the same could be said about other sites for that matter. Just because someone posts a link on their site it doesn't mean it is legit. Some sites are a little sneaky and try to hide the actual link in the status bar.

I guess just keep your anti-virus, firewall, spyware, etc. up-to-date at all times!

Well I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but here in the northern hemisphere the sun is setting much earlier now. It won't be long and it will be time to turn the clock back an hour to standard time again. I just hate winter and the lack of sun we get during this time. Summer just goes by way to fast it seems like. Oh well nothing we can do about it, just keep hoping for a few more nice sunny days before winter decides to fully set in.

I don't know what is the more popular topic in the news lately, the swine flue or health care reform. If it's not one, then it's the other. Both are just as confusing. One day they tell you one thing, and the next they tell you the opposite.

I am still not sure about the swine flu vaccine. There are a lot of discussion about whether to get it or not lately. Both sides seem to have some good points.

I just think we really don't know what the potential side effects might be regarding the swine flu vaccine. I know it's an obvious concern, but it seems a little rushed. Since when does the U.S. allow something to be rushed to market without thorough testing? Maybe because it's a vaccine and not a drug this makes a difference.

I would get it if I knew there was more testing and we had a better idea what kind of side effects to expect. Since there has not been adequate time and testing, I am not going to run down and get one the minute it comes out.

So I feel that this is a very tough call. Do the benefits outweigh the negatives?

You ever notice how many advertisements there are on TV these days for all these new drugs & medicine?

Well I was sitting there watching TV tonight when one comes on. Usually I tune them out because honestly I am a little tired of them.

For some reason this time the advertisement caught my attention. Not because it was going to cure cancer, aids, the swine flu, or anything like that.

What this drug said it was for is for people who are already taking antidepressants and they need a little more. If your antidepressant isn't quite enough for you, then you should take this additional antidepressant.

Can you believe that? An antidepressant for an antidepressant. Medicine for medicine.

What next? Now I've heard it all!

I guess the drug makers have finally stooped to making more money by creating medicine for medicine.

I almost fell over as I listened to the advertisement on TV. I have been joking about something like this for years, and now it's no joke anymore. They have really done it now.

I can't believe a doctor would actually prescribe something like this. If you take antidepressants and they just aren't working for you, wouldn't your doctor just increase the dosage? Or find you one that works better and is more suitable for you?
