Word of the Day: minatory(MIN\uh\tor\ee); threatning; menacing;
Weight: two hundred and twenty-four (224) pounds
Goal: lose one hundred (100) pounds in one (1) year duration
Pounds to lose: ninety-two (92) pounds, and then some
Waist Size: hippotamus waist now in effect
Days until Royal Wedding: forty-nine (49) days and Kate wants more bridesmaids!
Rowing Duration: fifty-five (55) minutes, twelve (12) seconds
Okay, once you get through today, the weekend will be here so quit your whining.
First off, news for all of those people newly married, the seven (7) year itch is now the three (3) year itch, so please get some counselling before you get married, and make sure you have alot more in common than just a sexual urge, sex will not sustain you during sickness, poverty, and visiting relatives!
Second, I want to express sympathy and concern for all of those affected by the Tsunami that hit Japan last night, (early this morning.) I happen to know some people that were going to Hawaii for the March break, I sure hope that everyone in areas affected by the Tsunami will use the utmost in safety and caution!
It is so comforting to know that during times of emergency, the best in people seems to come out, people are sharing their resources, homes, food, health services etc. Why does it take an emergency to help out our neighbour?
The ides of March is fast approaching, and if you do not think of this day as unlucky, I suggest you read your Julius Caesar!!!!!!!!!!
Alright people, are you ready for the "In the News" add-on this morning, it is reported that Bipolar rates are highest in the United States (U.S.). According to an eleven (11) nation study of more than sixty-one thousand (61,000) adults, the U.S. has the highest lifetime rate of bipolar disorder at four point four (4.4) percent. Overall, the data suggest that two point four (2.4) of the world's population have some form of the mood disorder, which is usually characterized by alternating periods of depression and mania or hypomania. The study also suggest indicates that less than half of those with the disorder were treated by a mental health professional and that only about one quarter of bipolar patients in low-income countries had any interaction with the mental health system.
Okay, since I do not have much more to say on a personal level, I thought I would provide for you what it said on another "In the News" add-on, this one concerns that work calls at home distressing for women, well duh! According to a recent study, when women receive work-related emails, phone calls, and texts at home, they feel higher levels of guilt, and psychological distress than men. This guilt persists even if the contact does not interfere with family life. Age, marital or parental status, and socioeconomic level do not appear to affect how women feel about such intrusions. Researchers suggest that women and men have different outlooks when it comes to the boundaries between work and family life, and this may cause women to perceive their family role performance more negatively when work intrudes upon family-life.
I want to welcome back, my sister-in-law, Louise, who was on a cruise recently. Louise, I sure hope you had a great time, and plenty of rest, you're probably going to need it.
Well now, have a great weekend, be careful out there, and as always, be good to others, and your self, you count too!
