You have to order in the next 10 minutes...we can’t do this all day.

Deep Vein Thrombosis, blood clots in the legs caused by sitting too long, like in air travel....

[CholeraJoe]

Easily detected at autopsy and not mentioned.

Beleive it or not, Mag is more important that excercise, you can excercise all you want and be low on mag (in fact it makes you more likely to be low on it) and you will suffer a heart attack no matter how strong your heart is, you don’t need a blockage, or high blood pressure, no mag means your heart cannot release it’s contraction, you die, period, with a perfectly strong heart, no blockage, happens to tons of folks everyday, only it’s listed as a heart attack ... But essentially, they died of lack of Magnesium ...

[Emmett McCarthy]

OK, but will it be one or two payments on my credit card?

[ravingnutter]

The Sham Wow guy already got his tongue almost bit off by a prostitute and landed in jail...don’t kick the guy when he’s down!

[Red Badger]

I take BP medicine, Lisinopril, AND a potassium supplement, Klor-Con, along with a cholesterol inhibitor...................

[Emmett McCarthy]

I didn’t know that! Maybe she wasn’t a real hooker, but some gal being paid to shut his a$$ up!

[Scythian]

Hey Badger, read this, don’t do anything without your doctors advice, I am not a doctor, but I have went to very sick to excellent health with all natural things, and Magnesium is key to good health, especially when it comes to the heart, as well as Vitamin C and CoQ10. Read this link sometime and see what you think

I take CALM Magnesium, if you have heart issues I really recommend it, talk to your doctor about it.

I didn’t know that, but I was happy to see that the nuts I’ve been eating instead of other snacks are good sources of magnesium.

[Red Badger]

Thanks for the tip. If I need magnesium, I can always go lick the rims on my SUV....................;^)

“These things happen in threes! Who’s next?”

1. Ed McMahon
2. Farrah Fawcett

1. Billy Mays

You forgot David Carradine.

Let's see, as long as we're getting rid of huckster pitch-men:

2. Vince the Sham-Wow guy
3. Algore the Glo-Bull Warming guy?

[Political Junkie Too]

Gale Storm (My Little Margie) yesterday.

Fred Travelena (this morning).

If I call right now, will they double the order and throw in the SHAM WOW guy, too?

Just pay second shipping and handling.

That has to be the biggest scam of them all. Where does the standard price of $19.95 come from, regardless of what they're selling? And then, when they throw in a second one free (probably costing them pennies to make) and just charge you a second shipping and handling (for another $6.95? -- does it come in a second box?), they're really charging you close to $35 for that $19.95 deal.

1. Ed McMahon

That's another way to look at it. McMahon died one day closer to MJ and FF than Mays did.

[Emmett McCarthy]

And I bet the shipping and handling on a dead guy would be even more! Maybe I can’t afford free stuff.

[Sunshine Sister]

I sure hope that when my time comes I can leave this earth while sleeping. Compared to my cancer stricken husband, it would be so peaceful.

Prayers up for the family.
