Worth a Mention

And the hits just keep on coming.  The TSA, already working a thankless job, decides it would be fun to be hated even more by patting down a wheelchair-bound three-year-old boy...on his way to Disney World.  His father, steaming-mad beyond belief, couldn't even hold his son's hand.  He said his son was terrified.  Good news:  The TSA found no sign of explosives in or around the cast for his broken leg.  Picture to prove it


Phones/Facebook:  Do you feel safer?

Ever see the same group of women whenever you go to the gym?  The women that are there pretty much every day.  Here's a possible reason:  Working out is like sex -- literally.  Scientists that study this stuff at Indiana University say some women experience intense pleasure while exercising, and it has nothing to do with seeing a hot stud walking through the gym.  Some exercises just "make it happen."  Here are the most common exercises that bring out "that lovin' feeling" in women:
  1. Abdominal exercises:  51.4%
  2. Weight lifting:  26.5%
  3. Yoga: 20%
  4. Cycling: 15.8%
  5. Running: 13.2%
  6. Walking/hiking: 9.6%

Just interesting, that's all:  Nearly a third of Americans find out what's going on using apps.  Not that we rely on apps entirely, 80% of us that use apps also pick up news from websites via laptops or desktops.  

Phones/Facebook:  Besides email:  Which app on your smart phone gets the most use?

Video:  The only thing that would make this video better is if an American rushed in to save him.

8 Tips for Dating Over 40

Bobbi Palmer is a woman who became a first-time bride at 47, and admits dating in her 40's wasn't as easy as dating in her 20's, but the relationships formed later in life were much more fulfilling.  

Here are 8 tips for successful "grownup" dating

  1. Know and love yourself - take 20 minutes today and allow yourself to think about what makes you fantastic
  2. Know what you want - Drop the checklist of what you want in a partner and instead concentrate on how you feel when you are with them.  This is what matters.
  3. Accept that the responsibility is yours - That blame-the-men thing is old and no longer serves you
  4. Live in the real world - You're not 18.  You're not going to find a guy with a full head of hair, six-pack abs, and no baggage.
  5. Take it slow - The older you are, the more experiences you've had, making you a more complex person.  So are they.  Get to know them.
  6. Check your baggage - Don't drag your bad marriage, health issues, and child problems into the mix right away.  There's plenty of time to sprinkle it in.
  7. Dump the anger - Men aren't jerks.  Like you, they have grown up and learned a lot.  Don't assume the guy you're sitting across from you is like the guy that dumped, lied to you, or cheated on you
  8. Be a real lady - Knock off the "I don't need a man" mantra and let a man into your life.  

GREAT list!  Even more detail is at GalTime

Three Simple Rules to Stay Married Forever

Divorce is a pain in the rear.  Here's how to avoid it -- 3-simple rules from a marriage counselor that has used them

  1. Invest in your marriage on a daily basis - Display a little affection daily.  A little adds up to a lot.  
  2. Beware of Facebook - Know the danger signs of bad behavior related to Facebook so you can protect your marriage.  Looking up exes on Facebook, for example, is a no-no (especially high school sweethearts).  Don't confide more in Facebook than with your partner.  
  3. Be more like the family dog - No one is happier to see us walk through the door than our dogs.  They go crazy, right?  Stop what you're doing and welcome him or her home.  Look them in the eye.  Tell them you're happy to see 'em.  

Just don't wet the rug.

  1. Pizza
  2. Cars
  3. Ice cream

There's our lives in a nutshell.  Pizza, cars and ice cream.  Great info graphic that breaks it down even further

Joke of the Day

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying
to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think
how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say,
"There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or “That’s Michael, he's a doctor.'"

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the
teacher. She's dead."
