I read an article on time.com about a Study that was done by Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling, neuroscientists at Newcastle University, where they found out that girls prefer pink to blue and why we do. In the study, they polled 208 people, male and female; both genders liked blue, but the women preferred the redder shades of blues, i.e., reddish to purple or pinkish shades, while the men preferred the bluish-green hues. They also did the study between Chinese and British individuals and ...

I went for my follow up visit today with my doctor's fill in, who I thought was a P.A. but she's not, she's a full fledged M.D.! She's rather lovely too and easy to talk with and explains everything to me which is wonderful! I just might switch my Primary! Anyway, my blood pressure was not something to freak out about when the nurse took it before I saw the doc, in fact, it's the other way around this time. Last week I was 140/80, where-in my Systolic was higher than the Diastolic, this ...

My blogging karma, its gone. At least I thought I had it, now looking back at some of my blogs, maybe I didn't! I don't think I was so bad, I wrote some good stuff; some interesting stories, interspersed with happenings from my personal life. I don't think I was that bad. Maybe I"m just too whiny or needy, which is it I wonder? I'm too sentimental? Too emotional? It's making me really feel invisible I guess. Maybe I should make a confession. Yeah, I could do that! I could r...

Lyrics, that brings back a memory of you photographs, that shows an image of you memories, of things you've done and said these are all I have of you, that sometimes makes me shed a tear to remember, to sing, to look back at a smile, a song you loved to sing, a movie you loved to watch "la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la..." Your presence I feel, at times I close my eyes, and I want to touch you to feel you, to be with you Just a hug is all I wa...

Today I read this bit of news. There is actually a reason for people who are overweight and those who are obese, it's a virus! The virus adenovirus-36 or Ad-36 as it's commonly known as [so common I didn't know it!] The tests were done in a laboratory on animals who got really fat when exposed to the virus. Nikhil Dhurandhar, an Associate Professor and the doctor who lead the study, Dr. Magdalena Pasarica, also did the study on humans who had had liposuction, by using their stem cells a...

Dental surgery went well for my hubby on Thursday. I've been playing nurse since he has been in a lot of pain and trying to get used to the upper dentures in his mouth - ouch! I'm just glad that part is over and now all there is to do is for his gum to heal and him to get more comfortable with wearing his new teeth! Men are stubborn creatures though. He refused to give in to the medication, Percocet, very strong meds that really knocked him down! He didn't want to go to sleep and wa...

I know, it's not the best thing, self-diagnosis; nor is it the best thing to do, take a health quiz and start worrying, yet here I am doing just that! It all started because lately I've been feeling very anxious. I have a lot of things going on in my personal life. Plus work is just as up and down, busy lately and a lot of changes as I mentioned before. So far so good with still having a job. I've been sticking to working out, and even if I don't get to work out for as long as I like...

I'm posting this just for the hell of it and it's one of my fav songs! I'm listening to it too! BON JOVI LYRICS This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud [Chorus:] It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie s...

I've been working out on a regular basis and have not been doing too badly in getting my body toned and dropping a few pounds here or there. I've also had my moments yo-yo-ing within the last two months. It happens though, there are just those moments when you just don't feel like working out, when you want to have that slice of cake or you just want to sit like a log and do nothing! Those are the times when my brain is kind of messed up with worrying about the many minute details in my ...

The editors of PC World unveiled their favorite places to go in blog land! They obviously don't go everywhere because they didn't put our Joe on the list - their loss! They seem to have listed quite a few tech blogs so, maybe that's the key to being on their list, especially since that's their world! Some of the blog sites they listed I did recognise, some I didn't. Included on their list are: Slashdot - "tech news blogs, and the virtual water cooler of the geek cognoscent...

How in the world is this not the same thing? He said that he didn't lie to his wife, he just didn't fess up and tell her the truth! And why did he do that? Because he didn't want to hurt her feelings. If you found out that your spouse or lover did this to you, wouldn't you be upset because he/she lied to you? I know I would although I will confess that how mad I would be does depend on what kind of a lie and how serious it is. Then that would dictate me pouting for one or two days...

I was surprise to hear last week about toys that are being recalled because their lead content was enough to be of danger to our children! Why is that so? According to the news report I just listened to, the government do check (i.e., inspect) products coming in but they can only do so much! To me both the government, to reinforce their rules, and the company that will sell the toys, should be working in tandem to make sure what comes in to our country is safe. Fisher-Price and it's par...

I was flipping through a magazine and saw this ad, “Larger, Fuller Breasts without Surgery, Pills or Creams”! Let me tell you I don’t know how they think that’s gonna happen, but apparently the product they are advertising can do that for you! Do you want to know what it’s call? The Brava Breast Enhancement System! It’s going to grow your own breast tissue naturally and you can get up to two breasts size! Wow! If that can do that, I would definitely be impressed! It’s like those ...

Not that I mind one bit! I've found myself every evening, at the end of the day/night...depending how you look on it...watching Disney channel with my little one and my son. They love those cartoons, (are they cartoons really?) that I mentioned in the title and I find that I quite enjoy watching them too! They are absolutely hilarious! The Replacements, the music is pretty funky and catchy and the same goes for the others too! LOL! I love to watch Krunk in Kuzco, just to hear him talk...
