Game On!

Was anyone addicted to Tetris when they were little? Gosh, I can remember sitting in front of the TV for hours trying to beat my mom and dad just once.

(Of course the Nintendo would eventually freeze up and you would have to take the game out and blow in the end of it ...Did that really fix the game or was it all in our head?)

Thanks to DeadWhale.com - You can play online. There are tons of games- some old, some new. Click here for Tetris and here for the rest of the games.

Tesh Tuesday- The Germiest Things

Top 5 Germiest Things

Ranked according to which were found to be most contaminated:

• Movie theatre seats which have more germs than public bathroom surfaces.
• Gym equipment
• Park benches
• Bank countertops
• The number 1 germiest thing: The rails and armrests on public buses
  

But here's something you may not have realized your desk at work is loaded with germs! The typical desk harbors 400 times more germs than the average toilet seat! And a cold virus can survive for 72 hours on your computer keyboard, telephone, or the handle on the office microwave.

I would like to present myself with the "Best Stressed" award. Thank goodness it is Friday.

In that case... I think I will go enjoy a slice of Chocolate Pie :)

Tesh Tuesday- Pet Edition

Interesting Facts About Dogs and Cats

If you’re one of the millions of North American pet owners, here are some things you may not know about your animal, courtesy of WebMD.com.

First, let’s look at dogs.

• Did you know they can smell diabetes? Dogs are now being trained to sniff out low blood sugar in their diabetic owners. A dog’s nose is so accurate, it can diagnose hypoglycemia 90% of the time. When they detect a dangerous drop in blood sugar, they’ll alert their owner by pawing, licking, whining, or barking.
• Next, did you know that dogs don’t wag their tails when they’re alone? Why not? Because it’s a form of sign language. Wagging for dogs is like gesturing for humans – you wouldn’t wave hello or make a fist if no one was there to see it right? Newborn puppies don’t wag their tails at all. Dogs usually start wagging sometime between their third and seventh week. As they become more alert, tail wagging starts as a way to make peace with other dogs.
• Here’s something else you probably didn’t know about dogs – a limp could mean lung trouble.Lung cancer in dogs can cause leg bones to grow new tissue, causing swelling and pain in the legs. Once the lung is treated, the limp goes away. Another sign of lung cancer in dogs is a cough. So if your dog has an incessant cough, a limp, or both, get him to the vet for a chest x-ray.
  
  

Now here are some interesting facts about cats:

• For one, they don’t always land on their feet. They do have a very flexible backbone that allows them to land feet first when falling from short distances, but any fall from higher than two stories, they won’t be able to right themselves. In fact, there’s something called “high rise syndrome” – where a cat will become so focused on catching a bird that they’ll fall out of windows or off balconies and really injure themselves.
• Also, contrary to popular belief, cats don’t need milk. Kittens drink their mother’s milk, but adult cats are lactose-intolerant, and drinking milk can make them vomit or have diarrhea.
• Finally, did you know that white cats are often deaf, especially if they have blue eyes? If only one eye is blue, they’ll typically be deaf in the ear on the same side.75% of white coated, blue eyed cats are deaf. Why? It’s hereditary – and there is no treatment for it.

Hair - Miracle

I am always looking for the next great thing- especially when it comes to hair care/accessories.

Yesterday I stumbled across Goody's new line Simple Styles.

The new accessories include the Spin Pins, Pony Pouf Clip, Volume Boost Comb and Modern Updo Maker.

After some speculation and many You-Tube videos later - I decided it was worth a shot.

(mute music at the bottom of the page before playing video)

I rushed over to Target (only sold at Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS and online) and snagged the Spin Pins and the Modern Updo Maker. Both tools were around $6.00 each and boy were they worth it!!

I mainly got these for the hot summer days at the lake when I don't feel like fooling with my long hair but after I tried them both out -I don't ever want to wear my hair down again!

Definite 2 thumbs up!

Re-MIX

Does anyone remember Sprite Remix?

I use to buy one everyday after cheerleading practice in High School.

I was poking around to see where I could get some and to my dismay found out that they discontinued the drink in 2005!! How could they?!

I did find an online petition to bring it back!

(some people have too much time on their hands)
