Re: Ask Catherine, PROMIS health questionnaire…
This is not the first time I have seen the PROMIS name on various health related questionnaires. No need to worry, it’s just our trustworthy NIH gathering data for their friends. Ugh.
http://commonfund.nih.gov/promis/index
Here is what they say on the website about Promis:
The Common Fund’s Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) program created new paradigms for how clinical research information is collected, used, and reported. PROMIS addressed a need in the clinical research community for a rigorously tested patient reported outcome (PRO) measurement tool that uses recent advances in information technology, psychometrics, and qualitative, cognitive, and health survey research to measure PROs such as pain, fatigue, physical functioning, emotional distress, and social role participation that have a major impact on quality-of-life across a variety of chronic diseases. For current information about PROMIS, please visit the HealthMeasures website (link is external).
It’s part of the commonfund programs. https://commonfund.nih.gov/programs
Boy, that’s a rabbit hole that will make your head spin.
I recommend that no one fills out any of these forms. Also I am seeing an uptick in people being offered Apps to help them lose weight or have better mental health. Just say NO to the convenience. If you want to keep a food diary, buy a cheap journal and keep a diary. Then you can meet with your nutritionist or doc and talk about it.
Alison has an interesting guest article about health questionnaires, data and the change in children’s healthcare. on her site Wrench in the Gears

Remember you are the one paying your doctor. You are in charge. If they don’t understand that, then find someone who does. It takes a while to find a healthcare practitioner or partner you can trust. The ones I trust would never send you home an NIH survey on purpose or give PROMIS your information.
Have a great weekend,

As Catherine always says, not agreement capable.

Americans should ignore the $31 trillion national debt. They cannot stop the printing and spending of fiat currency. Instead, they should exchange their dollars for real assets.
Exponential analysis must be used in a fiat currency system. Debt inflations should be compared by using doubling times and the rule of 70. The fact that the national debt has doubled in ten years to $31 trillion is expected. The debt grew at 7%/yr. This is much better than 10-12%/yr seen in 1971-1990.
The US government has never retired its debt. Andrew Jackson pushed it below $34,000 in 1835. Lincoln exploded the debt 42 fold from 65 million in 1860 to 2.773 billion in 1866. Wilson increased it 9 fold from 3 billion in 1915 to 27 billion in 1919.

Hmmmm. “The market can stay irrational longer than you or I can stay solvent”-JMK. We are in an asset bubble right now. Cash may be the best place to be. I would be interested to look at a chart of household indebtedness but the central banks can pull the plug whenever they want. The deficit doesn’t matter as long as there is not inflation. Who are the creditors? Do they have a standing military?
Highly recommend “The Bait of Satan” by John Bevere. It’s especially good for these lawless and offensive times.
You look beautiful in that red, Catherine! Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Sarah. The color experts always tell me I should wear bright colors: Red, hot pink, royal blue. But I am investment banker so I always want colors that do not grab attention. December is the exception!
I love the theme “Fairytell Inflation” and the overall show was upbeat in your voices. The stories are out of this world.
My Fairy story line would start with : George Soros cannot fund any more NGOs because…. I really do not care why just PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!
Thanks for the snowflakes in the background also makes me feel like Christmas even though I live in TX and will not see snowflakes ;-0
Merry Christmas to All!

Looking forward to your concept of the three biggest stories of the year. Perhaps you could get subscriber input by putting out a poll of the ten biggest stories. This could be like the movie scores from critics versus audience ratings. The reason I suggest this is I would vote #1 for the current release of the unredacted twitter files as my top story of the year.
Catherine put a message & invitation on subscriber input for suggestions.
