Who is she?
joke of the day
“I’ve never flown before, said the nervous old lady to the pilot. “You will bring me down safely, won’t you?
“All I can say ma’am,” said the pilot, “is that I’ve never left anyone up there yet!”
8 Ways to Get Instantly Happy
If Monday has you a bit down (translation: nobody wants to be around you this morning), then do one of the following 10 to turn that frown upside down. From Psychology Today, here are 8 tools for an "instant happy."
Shower Power! Take a shower and concentrate on the water hitting your skin. Pretend the water is washing away your negative thoughts. Whoosh!
Okay, so if that's a bit too much, then how about Getting Lit! Sitting in dark rooms lead to dark thoughts. Head outside, or at least in a well-lit room, to create happier brain chemistry.
Stare at something yellow. A color psychologist (yes, they exist) says the color yellow will instantly brighten your mood. Wear a yellow shirt, or buy some yellow flowers.
Say "ohmmmmm." Sit in a comfy position for five minutes and hum "ohmmmm..." Don't laugh -- studies have proven that humming "ohmmmm" relaxes your body because of the vibration in your throat. It even warms the skin a little bit.
Sniff some happy. Take a whiff of lavender. Studies have shown it to improve mood, soothe anxiety, and even help reduce some physical pains. If you don't have lavender handy, try some Vanilla Extract from your kitchen.
Punch 'em! Relieve your stress through punching something, like a pillow or teddy bear. Of course, what did Teddy ever do to you? So punch a pillow.
Go fish. A study found that watching a fish tank for 30 minutes lowered blood pressure significantly.
Doodle. Grab a pen and doodle...anything. Don't doodle shooting your boss with an bow and arrow while still at work, though. They may see you as a bit...shall we say... dangerous.
Need Cash? Have Kids!
Who makes more money, women with children, or women without children?
Believe it or not, women WITH children make more money in certain professions than single women without kids.
Moms that work in fields related to math and physical science, engineering and computer sciences, medicine, law, and business, bring home more bacon than childless women. The results even shocked the researchers.
The results makes sense if you think about it -- take into account single moms whose family depend on her money -- she's going to work hard.
Also, moms don't have a lot of spare time at work. They have to grab their kids from school or daycare, so their workday is more productive.
