Ok, you know what? I forget a lot of things a lot of the time, but I have never ever forgotten that I’m on my period. Never. I think it’s the whole bleeding thing that helps me remember to keep myself plugged up. Britney Spears, on the other hand, seems to have a little trouble remembering when her Aunt Flo is in town. Yes, a woman in her late twenties, with two children, can’t keep track of her own cycle. Of course, it is crazy Britney Spears so...  Read More »

I think we can all agree that Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael Lohan has a few screws loose. Some of those screws have landed him in jail; others have driven him apart from his children. Well it looks like Michael has yet to tighten even a single one of those loose screws. It is just now being reported that back on April 6th Michael Lohan was arrested for (allegedly) making threats towards his fiancée Erin Muller during a phone call on March 18th. The story...  Read More »

We all know that drinking enough water each day is very important for our health. But drinking water all day can get pretty old pretty quick; sometimes you just need something with actual flavor. Some beverage companies have turned to flavored vitamin infused water to appease those of us sick of drinking plain water, but buying flavored water every day can get real expensive real fast. Other beverage companies have created little water flavoring packets, which...  Read More »

Want to make a smoke bomb? It’ll be really cool, I promise you. A smoke bomb is a firework designed to produce smoke upon ignition. Smoke bombs are useful to military units, airsoft games, paintball games, and self defense. Colored smoke devices use a formula that consists of an oxidizer (typically potassium chlorate, KClO3), a fuel (generally sugar), a moderant (such as sodium bicarbonate) to keep the reaction from getting too hot, and a powdered organic...  Read More »

The Simpsons have been around for 20 years and like any good franchise, the toys have been around just as long. That’s two decades of a little yellow family appearing on our TVs and in our toy boxes. I was never one for the Simpsons t-shirts and such, but the little toys I was into for sure. Given my mother’s dislike for the cartoon however, I didn’t actually get to have any Simpsons toys until I was much older. One of the coolest things I have, which...  Read More »

I have a confession to make. My digestive system is way messed up, and always has been. As I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten worse. Sometimes I am so bloated that I feel like if someone poked me with a needle I would deflate and lose 50 pounds (which would suck, but be really awesome at the same time). About a month ago I was talking to a friend of mine about my life-long battle with my colon, when she told me about Bowtrol. She said she had started using...  Read More »

My sister had a baby six months ago and lost most of her pregnancy pounds within the first 6 weeks. But now she’s really struggling to lose those annoying last few pounds. Nothing seems to be working; and believe me, she’s tried it all. She exercises every day and eats really well, but still there’s a pooch. No amount of crunches or carrot sticks will get rid of that little belly! She talks about wanting a magic pill that will make it all go away. I am...  Read More »

So I’m not a super-duper coffee fan, but I certainly know good coffee from bad coffee; and how to appreciate the good. Boca Java is one of the goods. One of the very goods, actually. I sort of live out in a podunk town where the coffee shop closest to me is a Starbucks, and it’s about 8 miles away. Not too bad of a drive, but I don’t really like Starbucks (I find them too commercial, with questionable business ethics) so I don’t venture out for coffee...  Read More »

Scottish actor Ewan McGregor sat down with Men’s Heath magazine for a little chat recently and discussed his years of boozing it up and how he’s now a reformed man. Making the needed changes was easy he explained; all he had to do was visualize his own death. “I wasn’t someone who could smoke or drink in moderation, and I recognized that those things would kill me. I started visualizing the doctor telling me that I had cancer from smoking or that I...  Read More »
