Protect Yourself

Gail — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 18:59:25 +0000

Tennessee ranks 11th in the nation in reported cases of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The state has 60 cases per 1,000 people, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control.

If you can do statistics, that means 6 out of every 100 people in Tennessee have some type of STD. But beyond numbers, that means that at least 6 percent of the people who live here are continuing to have unprotected sex. Condoms are about more than just birth control. They protect you from STDS. Get your head out of the sand and protect yourself!

Bananas

For months I won’t even look at bananas in the grocery store. I just don’t have a habit of eating bananas. But every once in while I get a craving for them. I don’t know why. Maybe my body is missing some of the vitamins and minerals that come in a banana. Like today, I bought a bunch of 3 ripe, medium sized bananas and couldn’t even wait to get home to bite into one. Tomorrow I will cut up one and put in on top of my Rice Krispies. I don’t have immediate plans for the last one yet. Any ideas?

Merry Christmas Family and Friends!

Here’s hoping that Santa find your house tonight and is very, very good to you!

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is called “Black Friday” by retailers. This is the biggest day for Christmas shoppers and lots of big bargains as retailers do everything they can think of to get you to come into their stores and spend your money there. Some people get up early and leave the house as early as 3:30 am to get the best bargains at the big stores. That is crazy! I’m staying home!

Good Cooking

With the bad economy, we hardly ever eat out at restaurants anymore. We just can’t afford it like we used to.

The up side is that I am becoming a pretty good cook. At least I think so. And no one has refused to eat the dinners.

Brothers

What is it about brothers? They love each other yet they are always competing. Or even fighting. They seem to always have something to prove.

I don’t see this same behavior in sisters. Do you think it is the testosterone?

Broken Mirror

Last night I was in the living room watching TV and I heard a loud crash from the bathroom. As there was no one in the house but me, it definitely freaked me out to hear a loud noise from the other room. I mean, images of horror movies and all.

Turns out that the mirror over the bathroom sink fell. On its own. For no reason.

It took me almost half an hour to clean up all that broken glass. I hate the idea of getting a sliver of glass in your foot. So I cleaned and then cleaned again and cleaned a third time. And each time I found more slivers of glass. Unbelievable how much glass can be generated from one mirror falling off the wall.

Happy Birthday Sis

It’s my sister’s birthday. I was not even two years old when she was born, so I don’t remember that day. But I try to remember to send her a card and call her to chat on her birthday every year since leaving home.

So, I’ll call you in a few, sis. Hope you have a happy birthday!

Extra Day for R and R

This weekend is a nice long one. I wish there were more 3 day weekends. How about we have at least one three day weekend every month of the year? Oh wait – we do. Except for August. Let’s find an excuse for a three day weekend in August. How about Elvis day?
