I don't get it
Here in the USA they love to advertise prescription pharmaceuticals. I don't have a problem with that, I just don't get it. Now I have to admit the ads are pretty lame, showing off a person who now has an amazing return to brilliant health due to this wonder drug. What I don't get if that to avoid a law suit they have to go through all the side effects. About two thirds of the ad is taken up saying how the drug could kill you, cripple you or turn you suicidal. There has to be a better way to market a product. An example is below. Stay well:)

Advice needed
I have a bit of a conundrum and although it is not strictly medical in nature it is 100% to do with this blog. My conundrum is whether to allow advertising on my blog or not.
On one hand, being sick and going to Chicago isn't cheap. Honestly, I can use any penny I can muster. But on the other side does it sacrifice my integrity as a blogger and a writer? I would love to get your thoughts.
On a different note, I just checked the weather in Chicago. And the verdict - it's bloody cold! I mean below freezing and snowing cold. I am going to miss the end of the Australian summer. In my opinion, March is the nicest Melbourne month and I am going to miss it all. Oh well, never mind. There is always next year. And to look at the bright side, At least I am not going to Chicago to swim in lake Michigan.
Actually I have to say I might be having a little whinge about he weather in Chicago, but I have to say that medical procedures aside, I am really looking forward to it. Everyone keeps telling me it is a fantastic city, and I have been on the tourist websites and there does look like plenty to do there. I will keep you all posted. Stay well:)
