Why I never buy cut melons or fruit in the store

We love all sorts of melons and fruits, but I never buy the cut sections, even if they’re securely wrapped. Many people don’t know that the outer skin of melons can harbor all sorts of dangers, like salmonella.

Don’t be afraid to try new foods and flavors

I probably should’ve just edited my prior post about online shopping, but then again, maybe this deserves its own post:
Last week, I got some salt and pepper rice cakes. I like rice cakes, but I’d never tried this flavor. I opened them up, and thought they were perfectly dreadful, lol! However, my son and my [...]

Taking fish oil?

I was just reading an article at Prevention that has hints about taking fish oil capsules. It’s a good, short read, and it inspired me to share my own fish oil hint:

Top 500 Search Engine Keywords, and not one….

I just saw a current list of the top 500 search engine keywords, and there wasn’t a single health related term on the list. Nothing about diet, or exercise, or even weight. I’m not complaining, I just thought that we were so weight-obsessed as a culture that it would show up on our search engine [...]

Prevention.com offers virtual model

I just tried to sign up for the Prevention.com virtual model to see how realistic it is. I was really surprised to see a face that looked identical to mine, almost to the point of looking like a photograph of my face. Actually, the virtual model’s hair looks a bit better than mine, but other [...]

My mother smokes 3 packs a day

My mother has smoked since before I was born and has no interest in quitting. I can’t imagine the amount of time she spends every day on her habit. As a matter of fact, I can’t imagine what else she has time for because she’s so busy smoking cigarettes. She doesn’t want to try any [...]

Family Allergy Experiment

My daughter, MP has been trying the Vitamin C I mentioned in a prior post . I wouldn’t say she’s feeling tons better, but I’ve noticed that she is no longer sneezing in her sleep. The strange thing is, I didn’t even know people sneezed in their sleep till she started doing it. She still [...]
