We love to play doctor!

A new Pew survey found 35% of us like to play doctor and use the Internet to self diagnose our medical issues. The main reason we turn to the Internet first is to decide whether or not to consult a doctor. A third of us just handled it on our own.

This article states the obvious two dangers here --

1. A serious condition could go undetected and untreated
2. The Internet will often lead you to think you have a serious condition than is actually the case

Duh! You think it's a cold; the internet tells you it's a brain tumor. Thank you for the heart attack, Internet!

The most important things to remember for 2013

16 days have gone by and Psychology Today has FINALLY told me what the most important things to remember are for this year... here's a sample:

The most important things for parents...

Have a good relationship with their kids. Kids pick up their life lessons by watching their parents. Set a good example.

The most important thing a man can do for his love...

...Cherish them. If your mate feels loved and knows you have their back, it creates a strong foundation.

The important thing a woman can do for her partner...

...be a great cheerleader. We all need to be the star player in the eyes of the person we love.

The most important thing to give yourself is...

...time. Wasting time, which is different from relaxing, is one of the ways we hurt ourselves. Wasting time falls under anger, resentment, feeling sorry for ourselves, and plotting revenge.

Get the rest here

What's a belief you have that you don't tell other people for fear of seeming strange?

(answers submitted to AskReddit)

...that if i eat something that is past the expiration date, my stomach will be fine because my brain is aware of it and has told my stomach to man up.


...a fear that some people can hear other's thoughts.


I believe everyone would have far less aches and pains if they took the time to stretch their bodies (like a cat) in the morning before getting out of bed in a rush to start their day.


That prostitution should be legal.


That I am the only person who is actually real.


Bigfoot


That no one sees colors in the same way. What might be green to me is pink to you.


I fully believe in aliens. I think people who do not are ignorant, but I am the crazy one of course.


I don't really understand what the big deal is with athletes using "performance enhancing drugs"...
