* "The more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you."
That movie isn't as bad as I remember. Wonder what changed.
* Everyone has a soft side ...or at least a side that can be rationalized into appearing soft.
* Mixing the active ingredient in Tylenol and other pain relievers (acetaminophen) with large doses of caffeine can cause liver damage.
* I've counted my shoes, and I think the footwear fairy would be proud.
* This is a great quiz to try -- especially if you don't know WHY you plan to vote for whomever you plan to vote for. (You think you know, but you have no idea.) Also a good way to get down to the basics of the major issues. Be an informed citizen.
* Check out this site to read about a Canadian journalist who will change some aspect of her life each day for a year to live more healthfully for herself and the environment. (Don't roll your eyes and start cursing the treehuggers just yet. She's down to earth and taking baby steps -- trying to prove that even the little things can make a difference.) Pretty interesting.
* Even delegates in the U.N. -- world leaders from the U.S. and other countries -- gather their friends and walk out when someone they don't like gets up to speak. They might as well plug their ears, shut their eyes and start yelling "na na na na na na!"
* Stories are always a more interesting when they fall out of character for the role the storyteller plays in your head.
