What you think does matter

My wife has gotten into the AdvoCare system – for those of you who don’t know what AdvoCare is, it is a health and weight system created to help you lose weight, inches and promote better health (eating habits).

Going shopping can cost more than $130 dollars and that’s with out all the extra stuff I normally buy [ treats, candy, chips, food that taste good , etc. ] But I learned that I atleast don’t have to give up going to Mcdonalds. Yep - I may not have the number 1 meal [ Big Mac meal ] but I can have a healthy and tasty alternative - the Snack wrap [ I prefer the chelope BBQ grilled or crispy ] . Believe it or not it’s low on chol...

You know as sad as this is, I wish I knew about this the other day. I sell life insurance and as I explian to the individual - "ROP" means you get all your money back. This persons attitude - hey I have a long time to live. Well - so did this woman. She was enjoying life when a stingray jumped onto her boat and killed her. What a way to go.

For years I had a running joke with my friends. I could live on Chinese food and when people would jokingly say "Chinese food is made from Cat" I would laugh and say "have any pets....".

Feb. 5 - A 58-year-old Taiwan eatery offers rat meat as winter tonics to welcome the Year of Rat. Rat meat, also eaten in China, became popular in rural Taiwan in the 1940s and 1950s among people who could not afford chicken or pork. Ho-la, a rural eatery at Taiwan's Chiayi county, serves 10 rat-themed dishes, including rat soup, black pepper-dipped and deep-fried rat. The diner goes through around 18 kg (40 lb) of rat meat per day. Christine Lu reports.
