joke of the day

Three mice are sitting around drinking and boasting about their strengths. The first mouse says "Mouse traps, Ha! I do pushups with the bar". The second mouse pulls a pill from his pocket, swallows it, and says with a grin "D-Con Rat Poison". The third mouse finishes his drink, slams his glass on the table and starts to leave. The first mouse says, "Where do you think you're going?”
"Time to go home and chase the cat”

Looking "Athletic"

72% of women in the UK would much rather have an "athletic" figure than a skinny one.  They're calling this change of heart the 'Jessica Ennis effect,' named after this year's winner of the women's heptathlon at the Olympics.  In the 'most desired celebrity bodies' poll, Ennis beat the curvy Kelly Brooke and Kim Kardashian.  A third of women say they feel 'respulsed' at the sight of a super skinny celebrity.

Here are the top 10 best body's, according to a Lifestyle247 poll:

1.     Jessica Ennis
2.     Kelly Brook
3.     Kim Kardashian
4.     Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
5.     Rihanna
6.     Elle Macpherson
7.     Halle Berry
8.     Gisele Bundchen
9.     Miranda Kerr
10.  Frankie Sandford

Roomies

Don't flip that guest room into a home office yet... a USA Today survey shows almost a third of homeowners expect their grown kids or parents to move in with them.  Grown adults rushing back to their old bedroom is "an enormous change," according to the director of the National Association of Home Builders.

Top five things young guys find sexy about older women

It's not uncommon these days to see guys in their thirties date women 50 and older.  Why?  Confidence!  Guys like a woman that is comfortable with herself, and age gives your confidence.  They also like that she's not clingy, needy, or desperate.  She has her own life and is not demanding her man's attention 24/7.  Here are the top five reasons, according to the love experts at YourTango, that young men love older women:

1. Confidence
2. Older women are looking younger than ever
3. Older women have experience under their belts (if you know what I mean)
4. There's no "ticking" (biological clock-wise)
5. Older women are realistic
