In a post on December 9th I used the expression "imho" and Paige wrote a comment stating she didn't know what that was.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Really Paige, you have never heard the expression "In My HUMBLE Opinion" before, I am not surprised!
HA HA HA HA HA HA

Mindless Eating
by Brian Wansink
This is a brilliant book that everyone should read. It humorously provides example after example of how we all fool ourselves and eat much more than we think we do. Like the soup bowl that always kept refilling itself, people ate on average twice as much, ignoring any internal clues and just eating to finish. Time and time again I would read passages out loud to Lisa because I recognized the behaviour.
My favorite study is where they were interviewing kids at preschools to see what foods they were taught to like at home. One school stood out because and inordinate amount of the kids loved broccoli. When asked they said because it was cool. Further questioning led them to two brothers aged 3 & 5. They said they liked it because they were dinosaur trees. They then went to the mother for another interview and she explained that she always told the boys that they were dinosaur trees, and they could be just like the long necked dinosaurs and eat the trees. Well to the 3-5 year old age group, nothing is cooler than being a dinosaur; thus a whole community of kids loved broccoli.
***DEEP THOUGHT*** Which goes to show that anybody can change the world if they just push the right buttons.
Anyways, if you want to learn more go to his website or look up mindless eating on YouTube. Here is an example.

Who Has Been Talking??
Since joining the Facebook I notice that they automatically generate ads on the sidebar, and I assume they base it on page content.
So far it has been pushing me to:
White-n my teeth
Shave my Chest
Lose weight and get 6 pack abs
and then to go on a
Gay Cruise.
It is scary how well it knows me already.

Conversation with my Mother
I spent the night at the Mayo Clinic Sleep Study center. They shave you and hook up about twenty monitors all over, and 2 additional devices up your nose, and then a monitor on your finger for good measure. 
Not me, but very similar
The end result is I have mild to moderate sleep apnea, and I stood out from my fellow study mates as well. I was the youngest and/or smallest person there. The Doctor mentioned this but pointed out that I have some inherited traits that make me susceptible to having it. So basically, it is all my parents fault.
So like any good son I immediately call my parents and share this information.
My Mom: Well, all your problems medically can be blamed on us.
Me: Don't sell yourself short Mom, I think all my problems, medical or otherwise, can be blamed on you.
My Mom: Ha Ha (you have to make it sound sarcastic, basically like someone who has known me 39+ years).
