I Need Lessons From Her!

***Dammit..the video isn't showing up!**
So I was checking out my email this morning and a friend of mine send me one of the joke type emails. The title, Husband got you angry ?, so of course I open the email and there is some text and a video. The text says"When your husband does something that makes you angry don't give in to the temptation to argue and fight. Just count to ten, remain calm and after he goes to bed, super-glue his flip flops to the floor."

I just about fell off my chair! Who is this woman and where can I meet up with her for some lessons. I certainly hope those shoes were not those expensive Dansko shoes ! I love the creative type people and at times wish I was witty like that. I am the type of person that comes up with a snarky idea or comment hours after the argument is over!

Wake Up People!

So I guess I am on a small rampage this morning and really am at my breaking point. Go figure, it is 5:42 am and what could possibly be driving me to the brink? Well, alot! I guess I may have waited to long for my coffee, nah, maybe blog issues..YUP. Custom domains, BlogSpot and Google Aps are the culprits...

You know I have talked about diet pills a lot lately and I guess trying to find real stories from real people has been tough. All companies want people to purchase their product so they come up with all of these so called great reviews. Ever read a Hydroxycut review? Now try and find someone who has personally had a bad experience. Pretty tough, you can find a lot about the dangers of using this product but not much from real people. I guess since ephedra has been banned, thisngs have quieted down a little. So who is up for a trip to the gym or a stroll around your neighborhood? Come on people, are you proud to say you belong to the fattest nation on the earth?

Want Some Candy?

Hmmm..I always thought a Ju Ju Be was a type of candy. You know the ones, they sell them at the movies for an insane amount of money. They are the multi-colored candies that stick to your teeth like glue. Well, in this case, they aren't candies they are diaper bags! Who would have thought?

How was everyones weekend? Mine was ok..a little long but still managable. I cleaned out the basement. Looking at it you wouldn't know, but I know. One the crap is out of here it will look better. Otherwise besides my sons football game, it was pretty quiet.

Like a Ton of Bricks

Hmmm...how time flies when you get older. It just came to me now that Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I guess this year we will be at my father in laws house. So sad because my mom makes the best cornbread dressing you will ever have in your life....wondering if she could mail me some?!? I know, we need to get past Halloween first, I was going to decorate today but it is raining. For anyone trying to eat healthy like me, we are really screwed over the next few months. October = my anniversary..3 years on the 8th, then Halloween, then comes November and Thanksgiving, the December, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, January = New Years Day...ugh food, food and more food. We will get through it, I promise!

8 Reasons Why Walking Is Good

#1 It is great for the heart
#2 Ladies, it cuts breast cancer risks
#3 It helps you sleep
#4 It cuts down on aches and pains
#5 Makes you happy
#6 Keeps you slimmer
#7 Keeps away senior moments
#8 Protects your bones

Are those 8 good reasons to go for a walk a few times a week?? I certainly thinks so! Now that fall is here go out and stroll through the parks or your neighborhood to enjoy the fall foliage. Forget that long, hard drive up north, enjoy the beauty and the fresh air in your own neck of the woods. If you feel you must drive up north, then find a park or a long road to walk down. Besides, after sitting in the car for a while you will defiantly need to stretch your body. So what are you waiting for, go to your closet, put on your walking shoes and go for a walk..sitting here isn't going to help you any!

Bigger Muscles

I have discussed diet pills before but I have never asked about or talked about bodybuilding supplements. Seeing as I don't know very much about them I decided to do a little reading. And like diet pills, there sure are a lot of bodybuilding supplements! I noticed that there were a lot of articles about Creatine and of all the supplements, is the safest. Don't get mad at me if I am wrong!
There were also plenty they claim you should stay away from as well. Such as HGH, Anabolic Steroids, Prohormones and GABA just to name a few.

What I really want to know is if you or someone you know have taken bodybuilding supplements. If so, did they work, any side effect, where they legal or illegal? What ever you want to share.

Florida-Have you been?

I have been to Florida once..and might never go back. Well, I would like to take my son on one of those Orlando vacations one day so I shouldn't say never! We stayed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a few days after out cruise in 2006. It was hot, even in February and it was smelly. My husband never smelt a thing, hell he can't even smell a skunk. Me on the other hand, I smell everything! Needless to say I wasn't very impressed. It just goes to show you that one person may love something and another will dislike it, even in Florida!

Well enough about Florida, I have a post to write up..more on topic with this blog!

Banks - What's the deal?

It is pretty scary to me what is going in with these banks. I often wonder if my money is safe, what will happen if I can't get to my money? What I find even stranger is the fact that my parents ban has been calling them and trying to convince them to invest their money. (They just sold there house a month ago and the made a decent profit) I wonder why and my mom is saying "No way Jose!" They are not the type to be risky with their money especially in these days, they have invested, but never anything like online trading or at least not that I know of. So she is feeling pressured by her bank and she finally demanded that they stop calling her. Isn't that harassment? She is so uncomfortable about it that she said she is considering changing banks and quite honestly, I think I would too!

The Junk I Get & Wise vs Worse

Geez, some of the junk mail I get is unbelievable! I get everything from "You have won!! to "Buy our horse supplements" Ummm thanks, but no thanks!


A couple of weeks, maybe a week, I did a Wise Choice vs Worse Choice post about junk food vending machines and today is the Fresh Food Machine. Ever look at that fresh food?? Some of it doesn't look so fresh. I'll fess up to buying something from it once and only once. I decided on a chicken sandwich of some sort and what I received in return was a case of the shits! (sorry) Needless to say, I would rather chew off my finger than get something from there again!

Back to my post..

Wise Choice: The salad! Was that such a surprise? Nooo. A baked potato that would be a pretty good choice too, but the salad with dressing on the side is the best.

Worst Choice: Any one of the sandwiches! Really, I'm serious. They are loaded with high fat spreads and white bread. White bread is junk carbs and those carbs are the ones that get stored as fat.
