I know I haven’t written in awhile, I’ve been busy. But that’s what happens to graduate students, especially ones who realize that they can’t milk their stipend for all eternity. Write a dissertation before I go? Was that part of the deal? Sigh.
Even graduate students need a little humor in their lives, and Yahoo News does a great job of finding photos to do just that:
This dog was dressed a scuba diver for a dog show. I can’t even get my dog to wear the devil ears I bought for him at Halloween.
But does he really scuba dive?
Maybe his outfit is just for show, but if you click here, you will see why cats can actually be better than dogs.
Let us pretend that the subject of persuasion is love.
Curious of whether there is a majority preference for how love is articulated. Would it be more welcoming if delivered with flowers, poetry, and chocolates? Or with bravado and importance? Or as a challenge to your current mode of acceptance of love?
Note to self, don’t make tired or tempting purchases because something is on sale. Like today I ended up buying something that was primarily for erectile dysfunction and another for easing menopausal symptoms.
But I did try them! So far, the one for erectile dysfunction, Muira Puama liquid extract, gave me a mild initial jolt which lasted five minutes. I was less focus and started having blurry vision thereafter. As for the one for menopause, Sage Leaf tablets, actually put me at ease. I feel calmer and the effects is liken to taking 600mg of ibuprofen.
Nuprofen is pretty ineffective as ibuprofen goes. Taking two advil provides more noticeable relief in terms of easing of tension headaches and general muscle-aches than two tabs of nuprofen for the same dosage per tab.
Paramecedol is great as a pain reliever but does nothing to relieve aches and general tensions. For headaches it works very similar to excedrin without the noticeable caffeine kick.
For asthma, it is good to avoid foods and environments that tend to trigger it. I think sometimes it is not necessarily dust but the molds which carry some protein that triggers allergy reactions and potential asthma attacks. Long hikes are also not recommended for mild-medium asthma sufferers.
Currently i am wondering what good is mucus to the body? I seem to be producing at lot of those at certain times even when i don’t have a cold or flu or sore throat. Will be doing some research on that and write an update, but perhaps someone will have their notes to share
Final note, sensitive types should already know that generics don’t match up to the brand and it may be more than a mere placebo effect. See below:
I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately on violence in video games and how it affects people who play them. I found this interesting video capture of an interview on G4 (Tech TV) with the authors of a new book on video game violence and children.
The interesting point made by them is that boys who don’t play violent video games at all are more prone to violent behavior. It can be an indication of poor social interaction when boys don’t get involved in playing games when their peers do play.
