Okay, this is awesome. This reminds me of something my parents did for my 20th birthday... I had just joined a medieval reenactment group and taken up sword fighting. So they put two pictures together - one of me as a first-grader at my first ballet recital. I was holding an umbrella with sparkles on the edge and…

No no, I'm pretty sure stupidity knows no nationality.

How do you feel now that the detox is done? Seen any differences? I don't know if I could do that myself, but I'm curious as to the impact it's had.

Very nice article! I've been trying to limit my sugar intake simply because I feel better when I have less of it. I cut out sodas entirely and that's made a huge difference in how I feel. I highly recommend it. My strategy was I went cold turkey on soda but going from soda to water is very difficult, so I stepped…

When I was going through a whole slew of testing to find a diagnosis the doctors told me I had to cut alcohol and caffeine out of my diet to make sure there wasn't anything influencing what they were seeing. Now I can't drink anything stronger than tea because I've gotten so used to not having caffeine and that stuff…

Maybe the point they were making is that people are even more suggestible while on caffeine? So next time you want a raise, wait until the boss goes to get another mug of coffee I suppose.

I think it's because animals don't have a way to protect themselves from crime. Were it a person, they could go to the police and possibly have the person found and bring up charges against them in court. At the very least, they could tell their buddies "man, some asshole stole my stuff." Animals don't have that…

I like the way you think. Sign me up for one of those.

Will not cry. Will not cry.

After hearing all these bad password stories and reading everyone talking about LastPass and such, I finally got it as well. Great stuff there and I'm pretty confident about my security now. Interestingly, my weakest password remains my bank, as they have a limit on how many characters you can use for a password. …

I've never understood how anyone can not live by this. Obviously some big purchases can't be handled by income alone (like houses), but seriously... I get X money a month. I spend less than X and I don't have to worry.

Plus, it's just a prototype. Which means that if its a viable solution it'll only get better and might not even *gasp* block the aisle (since that seems to be the common complaint - I wonder how many people have the awareness to offer help instead of feeling inconvenienced by someone with a disability). Personally,…

Back pocket is about the only place you can put a cellphone with women's jeans. If you put it in the front, you're at risk of it falling out and it stabs you in the groin every time you take a step.

Uh. After we finished all the Hank the Cowdog books my dad read me Red Planet, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea when I was a little girl. I didn't appreciate Jules Verne until I was older but I LOVED Red Planet. I wanted nothing more than to go ice skating on Mars someday.

A thousand times yes on this.

I almost wish I had an iPhone because of this too. My android is looking mighty boring right now.

I live in Ohio as well and know what you're talking about. When I had a foreign exchange student from Malaysia staying with me, she was desperate to see the Amish because she just couldn't believe they were real. We passed a buggy and she took pictures and sent them to all her friends in Malaysia.

I am so glad we got hearts back just so I can heart you for this.

Nice tip... except 90% of women's pants don't even HAVE pockets and jeans are cut so tight to the body that when I put my phone in my pocket it feels like I've just glued an entire laptop to my ass.

I really started enjoying writing when I decided that disappointing people and mindsets like him was a worthy goal.
