Today, my 4 year old asked to go outside and play in the sprinkler. I told him not right now because I was busy and he's too little to play outside by himself. I came out of the laundry room later to find he'd brought the sprinkler in the house and turned the water on. At least he listened. FML
Today, I'm sitting in a public toilet when a guy kicks the door in and shoves a police badge in my face, screaming for me to tell him "the path of Lemmiwinks". After a whole minute of me shitting my balls off, he bursts into laughter and tells me I've been pranked. I was too embarrassed to report him. FML

Seemed to fit well, went in easy, look good. Great product for the price.
These appear to be quality spokes. If I need to lace up more wheels in the future, I'll buy them again.
The YZDOC
good spokes for the price, niples are not stainless steel (they are heavy) but overall they performe good
Brett Que is the man!!!
good quality spokes and nipples. They laced up trued nicely.
No drilling needed for my 250X. Product fit the hub and rim easily. It's still too early to tell how they will hold up.
I have laced up many a wheels & always use this brand of spokes. Very good quality.
I had these Installed by a professional and 1 has already snapped after the third ride. Im very disappointed considering I just spent 200 bucks for labor and the parts. Save your hard earned money and buy excel spokes, cause these are pathetic.
the spokes worked great and fit real good just like it said on the ad
Used these spokes in the past. Will continue to use them in the future. Great spokes!
Was in need for some spokes for my YZ250 and found this great deal on Motosport.com. Great service with great products, thanks Motosport!!!
I put these spokes on a 98 WR400 and they are performing as they should. Needed to drill out the rim holes for these to fit. They fit fine in the hub. They are definitely more heavy duty than stock.
Great product but very hard to install. Took me like 3 hours to put everything together. My first time. But everything works great
Used this spoke kit to lace up a 18' wheel for my 2005 YZ250. This high quality spoke and nipple kit fit the hub and rim with no problems. With a Maxxis desert it on, I'm ready!
i was worried about the durability of these because of the price, but have been very happy with them. They have held up great for me, but like any spokes, you have to take care of them. Keep those spokes tight and have some one put them back to true at least once a year and your wheels will last a long long time
Put them on my crf250r they came loose after 3 rides, would prob. work well with stock bikes though
The product was perfect fit. I was surprised by how much more solid those spokes felt compared to the OEM spokes I had on... oh and they seem to sparkle more as well :-)
These work fine. I'd buy again.
Just as good or better than OEM spokes...Used a rim tru stand to install...Beware that most rims have two spoke sizes...recheck spokes after 30 minutes.

Comment Re:I don't get it (Score 3, Interesting) 130
I don't think anyone would argue that it costs nothing to do this. Nor would they argue that it's easy. The argument would simply be whether or not it's cost effective. Can it be done for less than the costs of launching a fully developed habitat from the ground.
That's the job of the company providing the work. If they can make it work, more power to them. If they can't, failed business model. If they can't and it gets funded through tax dollars as a huge boondoggle, then it becomes a problem for the masses.
Prove that it can't be done cost effectively. Not random "Oh sure!! That'll work great!!! No costs at all!"

Helping many people boosts social standing more than helping many times
A business may build a better reputation as a good corporate citizen by donating 0,000 to 10 charities, as opposed to million to one charity, suggested anthropologists. Contrary to earlier assumptions in theoretical biology, new research found that helping a greater number of people builds a positive reputation more than helping a few people many times. The results of this research can offer guidance to businesses and politicians on how to improve their public images.

It used to only be the Christmas holidays when people would go over the top decorating their homes but now it is becoming increasingly popular to do so for Halloween.
My neighbor Peter is a prime example. Each year he goes all out for Halloween. A couple of weeks ago I saw him working in his garage on what appeared to be a coffin.
"What are you making in there, a coffin?" I yelled across the street.
"Yeah," he replied.
I thought he was joking. I thought wrong.

Halloween is the perfect holiday to decorate; it's still warm enough and light enough to decorate, plus the average family doesn't have 700 Halloween activities to go to, nor are there endless hours spent in overcrowded malls to get the perfect gift for anyone the family's ever met.

text: I recently shot with the Phantom 2 go pro + with the Polar ND and without the filter exactly the same scene to test it. In post i did a wipe to compare both shots. I noticed that the shot with the ND was softer compared to no nd filter with looked sharper. Of course the ND reduces the shutter speed making the image softer and reducing the jello effect. I decided not to use the ND because i was happier with the sharper image and the results were better. Yes i did see some very minor jello only on a few shots, but in most of them i did not see it any jello. I shoot raw, 2.7K, protune, low sharpness and do the post on premiere which gives you a big range in every aspect of the video to play with. What bothers me sometimes is the propeller shadows when shooting towards sun. Has anyone or company develop a lens hood for the go pro? I do work it around not to get, but sometimes you can't tell by watching the monitor because of the interference. Are most experts using the ND or not? Do you rather sacrifice sharpness than a bit of jello in your image? Would like to hear your opinions. I am new to this forum so if this has been discuss before i apologize. thanks, luis

I am spending my time – level 3
This is a beautiful and sad song by Roxette. Roxette started to be extremely popular in Sweden in 1986. The decided to translate their songs to English but their first English album failed. In 1988 they recorded another album with a song "The Look". At that time they were unknown internationally. But an American student Dean Cushman was on holiday in Sweden in 1988 and he brought a copy of the album with "The Look" song to America. He gave it to one radio station and the song became very popular. Other radio stations started to play this song. It was the beginning of Roxette's international success.
Today we play for you a song "Spending My Time" from 1991.
What's the time?
Seems its already morning
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue
The TV's on
But the only thing showing is a picture of you
Oh, I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin
I thank the Lord above
you're not here to see me
In shape I'm in
Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think of me too
I'm spending my time
I try to call but I don't know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh, help me please
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?
Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too
I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of tears of a clown
A prayer gone blind
I'm spending my time
My friends keep telling me
Hey, life will go on
Time will make sure I get over you
This silly game of love you play, you win only to lose

Just watched this episode and really enjoyed it. Black-ish is a newly discovered gem for me. Hearing Kenya talk about where he comes from and how the show came to be has really added depth to understanding the comedy in the dilemmas the show's characters deal with. Kudos to Kenya Barris making this show memorable and on being recognized and awarded for the effort.
Dan White comments on Tavis' conversation with Television Producer Kenya Barris
Great interview, I'm not one of those panicked people, but there was a lot here I didn't know, and needed to know about Muslim contributions to popular culture which has made America
Vincent Walter comments on Tavis' conversation with Professor, Theological Studies Dr. Amir Hussain
I missed this interview when it first aired in November, probably because I was still despondent from the election. Their rapport was infectious, Noah's insight into the American political system scintillating, and the comments about the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission post-slavery and post-2016 election resonated deep within me. Well done.

634 Tasting Notes
I think some people who have reviewed this tea mixed it up with another of Boston Tea Company's teabags. They offer a pomegranate tea with a black base and a pomegranate tea with a green base. This tea page and note is for the pomegranate tea with a black base. For the other offering, visit this page: http://steepster.com/teas/the-boston-tea-company/15114-pomegranate-green
This is actually okay for a stringless bagged tea. The black base is light but not bitter. The pomegranate flavoring is nice and fruity. I'm enjoying this cup sans additions, which is unusual for me and black bagged teas. I'm surprised that this is so drinkable because I guess I had low expectations. Not bad, not bad at all. :)
I've had a few of these Steaz drinks, and this is probably my favorite. The peach flavor is very nice. There's just the right amount of sugar added to make it sweet and delicious without being super sweet or sugary. This is a refreshing drink.
I really don't get much (if any?) green tea flavor. It mostly tastes like peach juice, although maybe not quite as strong as true pure peach juice would be. I like it, and it's a nice drink to enjoy in the afternoons at work. But I also probably wouldn't recommend it to tea drinkers since it doesn't truly resemble tea (in my opinion).
Flavors: Peach
The dry leaf aroma is awesome! It smells like a mix between Tie Guan Yin and Houjicha, both of which I love so I'm excited about this one. The brewed tea has a lovely roasted aroma. Now that I think about it, I think this is my first roasted oolong! Yay for fun new things!
The flavor is less roasted than the aroma. This is really interesting tasting! It's not as roasted as a Houjicha. It's softer and greener with a lovely nutty, toasted hay profile. I really like this a lot! It does seem a bit astringent, especially as it cools. Second infusion is for 2 minutes 45 seconds. I ate a fortune cookie in between infusions, so that's kind of confused my taste buds, hahaha. I think this cup tastes a little more like minerals and a little less like toasted hay. This cup is good but I liked the first infusion better.
I think I'm going to have to look into more of these roasted-type oolongs. This is called "moderately-roasted" so I assume there are more roasted versions available. I think this was a good tea to start with, and I can confidently recommend it to others. Big thanks to Angel and Teavivre for the free sample!
On a completely unrelated note, why do cats sleep on their faces? How do they breathe?! http://instagram.com/p/wW3LyOF-gi/
Flavors: Hay, Nutty, Roasted Barley
Wow! The dry leaf aroma is potently orange! Like smelling straight concentrated orange oil. The brewed tea aroma is a little calmer but still pretty strong. The flavor is like warm, watered down orange juice. I'm not getting any other flavor honestly. I'd expect the mint to come across more. Mint isn't usually one to hide. At least I can finish drinking this cup instead of pouring it out like the last two samples I tried this morning. I can't really say it's extremely enjoyable though. Overall, I'd describe it as mediocre.
Flavors: Orange
Time to get rid of all these old samples! Here's another one that is God only knows how old. Speaking of which, has anyone seen that BBC music video of "God Only Knows" that's floating around Facebook? I really like it! Here's the link in case you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqLTe8h0-jo
This one already smells better than the last DAVIDsTEA sample I tried (Ceylon Star). However, I'm still getting a lot of fake artificial coconut flavoring in this that I really don't like. I can't even taste anything else in here. No cream, no caramel, no nuts. There are raisins in here?! Nope, none of that either. You know what it does have? That lovely bit of scum floating on the surface. At least the aftertaste isn't as potently disgusting as Ceylon Star. In summary, I'm afraid this one is another bust. Boo!
Thanks for the share! I haven't seen the video until now. I'm glad they also have a link to identify everyone on the video because wow, so many young people I don't know.
As for the tea, I find this one is only decent when it's super fresh, otherwise the nuts and coconut go rancid and these weird undertones start to come out.
I have a bit of a sugar rush from breakfast this morning. I had two English muffins slathered in butter and strawberry preserves. Now I'm not feeling so hot. Probably should have used less preserves. I blame my husband. He bought the kind with added sugar, which I usually try to avoid.
Anyway, this is a free sample I've had in my cupboard for at least a year. The dry leaf aroma is cocoa and coconut. There's a fair amount of scum in the water after brewing. This seems to be somewhat common with DAVIDsTEA blends and is probably attributable to their use of artificial flavorings. The brewed tea aroma is a weird combination of cocoa, coconut, and star anise.
First sip…bleh not very good. The flavor is just as weird as the aroma. I'm not sure who came up with this combo but it is strange. Then the aftertaste seeps in and YUCK! This is why I avoid teas with artificial flavorings. This is disgusting. I'm going to add milk to see if that helps cut the stank going on in my mouth right now.
I added a little more than my usual dollop of skim milk, and it did help cut the nasty aftertaste. But overall, this tea is not for me. I don't like this combination of flavors and it all just tastes so fake and gross. Yuck yuck blech blech. Down the drain it goes.
Some of these Steaz drinks have been surprisingly delicious and others have been horrid. This one is pretty good. It doesn't really taste like tea though. It just tastes like fruit juice. But it's organic and cold and thirst quenching and that's all I really need it to be at the moment.
I thought this was a black tea base instead of oolong. I'm really glad I read the brewing instructions before pouring boiling water over the leaves! Anyway, the dry leaf aroma is certainly pumpkin-y. I'm looking forward to trying this one!
First sip sans additions…velvety, creamy, pumpkin dream tea! YUM! Why did I only buy one ounce of this? And of course it's already sold out. :( Boo! I added a little Truvia to the rest of the cup and now this is the perfect pumpkin tea. Perfect, I tell you! Better than any other pumpkin drink I've had. And that's saying something because I've tried a lot of different pumpkin drinks looking for the best one. Well, the search is over! At least for as long as this ounce holds out. :P
I really like how played up the vanilla is in this tea. I think that's what takes it from great to stellar. The spices are blended well and complement the main flavor by mostly staying in the background. Pumpkin, cream, and vanilla are in the forefront. Mmm, sooo yummy! I will enjoy every last little bit of this tea. Happy Cyber Monday, everyone!
Flavors: Cream, Pumpkin, Vanilla
This is a tea I got from my Mother-in-Law. I wish she would just look at my Steepster wishlist instead of buying me whatever she comes across. I haven't had good luck with her finds. This is an herbal blend that my cat was immediately interested in, probably because of the catnip. He started by sniffing the box and then began biting it. He even nipped my finger and batted at me when I tried to take it away from him! Little jerk. He's really annoying me today. Every time I get up he steals my spot on the couch. Then he cries at me when I move him. *Sigh.
I really need a cup of something relaxing. I've not had a very good day. Tea usually makes it better but the last couple teas I've had have been disappointing. I'm not even sure I should really be drinking this one because some of these ingredients aren't recommended during pregnancy. So I'm just going to have a couple sips so I can write a note about it and then I'm going to re-home the rest of the box.
This tastes to me like an herbal teabag usually does. The peppermint comes across as the strongest flavor then maybe the chamomile. I can't say that I can detect each ingredient individually but I think they all contribute to the taste. Overall, it's an unremarkable and inoffensive blend. I think others could enjoy this. It's not bad at all, just not my cup of tea. Anyone interested in the rest?
Flavors: Peppermint
My package said "Anxi Monkey Picked" instead of "Anxi Monkey King." But from my messages with Angel, I believe this particular sample is the latter. There's a dark quality to the dry leaf aroma that intensified once it was brewed. I'm not sure about this one…it's definitely not the Tie Guan Yin I'm used to.
I can definitely taste the darkness that I detect in the aroma. I'm afraid darkness isn't a very good term because it has a negative connotation. What I'm tasting here isn't necessarily negative. It is different. It doesn't have the fresh, clean, vegetal, buttery flavor that I've grown accustomed to tasting in green oolongs. Instead, it has this heavier, oaky, almost roasted kind of thing going on, which I'm calling "darkness" for lack of a better term.
The aftertaste is cooling and refreshing in a unique way. This is certainly interesting. I can understand the appeal to many tea drinkers. I don't quite think it's a flavor I would regularly seek out though. I prefer the fresher, greener, creamier oolongs. Still, this is definitely a high quality tea. My rating is only a reflection of my personal enjoyment of it. Thanks to Angel and Teavivre for providing yet another free sample!
Flavors: Oak wood

Pros: Quiet, great price, decent amount of storage.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Other Thoughts: I purchased this drive knowing full well it was a Green drive, and would be a bit slower than my other drives. I didn't need another Black drive, and purchased this primarily for storage.
If you need a storage drive, and don't care about speed, this, as well as other Green drives should serve your needs perfectly.
This review is from: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto Dual-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM3 80W HDZ550WFGIBOX Processor
Pros: Quick, best price:performance CPU out there currently, runs fairly cool.
Cons: It can't make me a sandwich.
Other Thoughts: I managed to unlock the disabled cores, and I've got this overclocked to 3.5ghz on air. It's running 35C Idle, and I've never seen it go above mid 40s. Haven't had the chance to really push it, and I don't see myself pushing it very far in the near future.
Great buy, highly recommended.

Day 7 - Matt reaches halfway
... the day is that I've passed from Asturias into Galicia, my final region. It also marks my halfway point. There was even a line in the road so I cracked open a brand new packet of Haribos to mark the moment. Arrived in an albergue in Padras - sorry Crash, I've gone 'off piste' for a second time but I wanted to see a different lot of people - the people who are always one stop ahead of us. It is like ...
Day 6 - Wet but cheerful
... Within 15 mins I was soaked to the bone again. Marvellous. After 30 mins I came across Holly, the young Irish girl struggling in the rain. It had been her birthday yesterday (the day the mountain challenged my faith). She'd stayed somewhere else as the better place didn't accept cards and she'd been hit upon by a fat Dutchman, twice her age. She then shared a room with just him and he snored. And I thought my day hadn't been ideal! So ...
Day 5 - Matt struggles...
... a cake and looked forward to a gentle walk down. But round the corner it went up, and up and round another corner it went up (I can continue this for a while but I suspect you get the drift) up to 4,000 ft. The terrain turned into ankle killing loose shingle and a 45 degree climb. And then the wind started. Ferocious- so strong it picked the water of the puddles and threw it into my face. I was walking one step forward and blown one step sideways. Then, after 15k ...
Day 4 - Matthew solves everything
... an easy one - Why Are We Here? The good news is that I cracked it in 20 mins! The purpose of life is to enjoy God's incredible creation (the earth, the people, relationships, our produce and even work) AND to help others enjoy them too. This purpose is worthwhile even if it's a bit (puff) hilly along the way. Forget evolution, that's just the process, not the purpose. I kid you not, within 1 minute of solving life's great conundrum I bumped into a lady collecting ...
Twisties and gran reserva ale in Asturias
... down to the sea. There are plenty of tunnels too when the looming peaks reach all the way to the shoreline.
The plan is to ride west along the coast then head off up into the mountains and spend three days wriggling through the Picos following country roads and heading in a general easterly direction.
We stop for fuel and food at a Repsol ...

Car Accident ► Open155 New York Ave Jersey City, NJ 07307, USAAt 2:10pm there was yet again another car accident at the corner of Franklin St and New York Ave. This time a truck traveling west on Franklin sheared off the front bumper of a car on NY ave inching out from the stop sign to view if traffic was clear to cross Franklin.
The fact that there is no shoulder on Franklin and narrow sidewalks males it difficult for drivers on NY to see on coming traffic.
This is the second accident in as many days on a intersection that has many children walking through it due to school nearby. There are also many children that live and play on NY Ave on a regular basis and it is a posted DEAF CHILD AREA at that intersection. I saw an old woman hit and knocked to the pavement while crossing NY at Franklin ave last year. Over the last several years I am aware of at least a dozen accidents that have occurred on this corner.
A traffic light on this corner would greatly reduce the current risks to drivers and pedestrians alike.· Reported by Eric Gunther · Share · Flag Flagged

2nd accident today! ► Open55 Franklin St Jersey City, NJ 07307, USAI know they're doing a review of recorded accidents on this corner but there are many that go unreported and come on!.... 2 in one day?!?! What more evidence do you need? At a minimum, this corner needs a 4 way STOP. I understand a traffic light Seems ludicrous because there is one on Webster and one on Palisade at Franklin, but that is what it really needs. Seeing as that won't happen, how about speed bumps?· Reported by Eric Gunther · Share · Flag Flagged
Bob (Guest)I've been told they're supposed to put a 4 way stop here but I heard that months ago and still no added stop signs
Cosmo (Registered User)hi. our block assoc complains about speeders on new york ave all the time to no avail. If there were trees on New York Ave people would tend to slow down. There are studies all over the world that say this and towns put them in for that reason sometimes. The cops just dont ticket. our district sends them up to Kennedy to ticket speeders, although I dont know why since the county is supposed to handle county roads, especially Kennedy, the worst.
Rickelmont (Guest)My understanding is that a 4way stop was promised over a year ago, however, nothing has changed. The Accidents continue

Poor Street Condition ► OpenWashington Street Hoboken, NJThe entire Washington Street!!!!!!· Reported by Ken · Share · Flag Flagged
email@example.com (Verified Official)The city had budgeted for road paving and repairs in 2012 but the money was never spent and no roads were paved in 2012. To spend the money the City has to put the paving out to bid and fill out some forms. There is a local election in November so expect major repaving in October. In the mean time remember the roads in India are even worse!

We've placed in numerous request through the city pothole association to hear us out.... The Service Request Reference No. is: W014716-080311
As a home owner to the four properties on Duncan Court, and the additional complaints from the surrounding neighbor of this existing road condition. We've been very disappointed to how the city has neglected to repair and service this failing roadway, Duncan Court (registered also as Calhoun St). To consider the severity and extent of the patches of potholes, cracks, rutting, raveling, ride quality, traffic volume, and poor drainage are at a severe scale. The bed rock to this roadway is at it poorest quality that it has damaged the sidewalk we've just completed two years ago.
The sealer applied to parts of the asphalt cracks to prevent water penetration has done nothing but worsen throughout the years, these failing areas needs to be completely replaced and not patched. The bed-rock has turned up to waves. We the family of Duncan Court will like to consider that the city also repair the concrete curb, sidewalk, and drainage structures.
This existing roadway, curb, and parts of the sidewalk need to be reconstructed! See the pictures of the current road condition below.
We would really like to consider the street to be revitalized like Fairmont Lane, but the road is beyond normal maintenance measures!· Reported by Ricardo Tirado · Share · Flag Flagged

Archives for September, 2011
It's almost October and you know what that means: Here come the goblins, ghosts, witches, and sluts! The sleaziness of women's (and little girls') Halloween costumes has become an annual gripe for mommies and feminists. But my friend Jeannine Gailey, PhD, a sociologist at Texas Christian University, clued me in on what might be the most appalling costume ever created: Anna Rexia, the sexy side of a life-threatening eating disorder. Yikes. The model dressed as someone starving herself to death is slender, yes. Even skinny. But her breasts strain to escape the bodice that barely contains them. Her skin glows, her hair is shiny, her eyes have a come-hither sparkle. She doesn't look the least bit like a woman with anorexia. She looks like a woman ready to take control with her womanly wiles. Gailey also sent me a 2009 article she published in Critical Criminology, titled ''Starving Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have'': The Pro-Ana Subculture as Edgework."
The Unplugged Experiment
My five-day experiment in unplugging was a flop. No, I didn't cave and mainline Facebook during my Mexico-beach vacation. I didn't crumble and tweet my every mojito, check my email, text, or even google anything. My computer stayed home and I kept my phone turned off and locked in the room safe. Despite all my prior misgivings, no trauma was involved. Not the slightest twinge. My husband had his computer with him and I wasn't even tempted to peek. I never felt cut off, suffered no DTs, needed no substitutes. As anxious as I felt about not having a computer to write on for a week, I wasn't even tempted to scribble a few lines with pen and paper. I read, sketched, ate, drank, swam, snorkeled and lounged. It was easy Some experiments don't go as anticipated.
Why You Might Have Trouble Making Friends
Today's guest blogger is Irene S. Levine, PhD, author of Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Breakup With Your Best Friend and co-author of Schizophrenia for Dummies. Irene discusses about all sorts of issues surrounding women's friendships on her blogs The Friendship Blog and The Friendship Doctor. Many women write to me perplexed about why they can't form close friendships. They try new approaches, put themselves in all the right places, see therapists, and read relevant self-help books. They consider themselves interesting, loyal, kind, and friend-worthy people. But for reasons unknown to them, they have a tough time forming the intimate relationships other women seem to have and that they covet for themselves. Many admit to not having even one close friend. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology offers some clues as to how both nature (personality) and nurture (experience) impact our friendships. Researchers at the University of Virginia and University of Toronto, Mississauga studied more than 7000 American adults between the ages of 20 and 75 over a period of ten years, looking at the number of times these adults moved during childhood. Their study, like prior ones, showed a link between "residential mobility" and adult well-being: The more times participants moved as children, the poorer the quality of their adult social relationships.
Three Wishes For My Daughters
Today's guest blogger is Lara Mayeux, PhD, a developmental psychologist and associate professor at the University of Oklahoma. Lara studies peer relations among children and adolescents. Her specialty is popularity, which is a hot field of research; she co-edited a book of theory and analysis titled Popularity in the Peer System. The book is aimed at academics, but Lara is also a mother who here connects research and mother love. Today I taught a graduate class on attachment theory, and at the end of a particularly intense discussion about maternal sensitivity and fostering emotional security in children, one of the students looked at me and said, "It must be really hard to be a developmental psychologist and a mother." My initial reaction was Yes, yes, it is, it's the hardest thing. Thank you for letting me admit that. Being a developmental psychologist—an academic one, meaning teaching courses in the field and doing my own research as well—means that I'm aware of many of the (seemingly thousands) of ways I can screw up my own two little girls. But it also means that I understand the opposite—the ways in which I can try to facilitate healthy development and positive outcomes.
Fear of Going Off the Grid
I'm going on vacation next week. A real, total-veg-out vacation at an all-inclusive beach resort. I'm shutting down my office and my brain. I haven't taken a vacation like that in 20 years.* The resort has in-room WiFi, but I've decided to cut myself off and leave my computer at home. No working. No googling, no Facebook, no Twitter, no blogging (look for guest posts next week). Radio silence. It sounds great, right? Then why does the thought fill me with anxiety? Am I addicted to the Internet?
Why Women Aren't Funny
The Wall Street Journal recently ran a great story about celebrities trying to win the New Yorker magazine's cartoon-caption contest. And the operative word is "trying." Zach Galifianakis got so frustrated, he finally gave up. Roger Ebert tried 107 times. Maureen Dowd wrote at least one caption I think was funnier than the winning caption. Remember that as you read the rest of this post. I entered the contest once and never again. The more I tried, the less likely I was to come up with not just a funny caption, but anything at all. My mind would go blank. According to University of New Mexico anthropologist Gil Greengross, that means I'm not a funny person. Greengross and psychologist Geoffrey Miller conducted research designed to explore humor ability as it relates to mating success, and they used the cartoon-caption contest as a way to judge participants' humor ability.
Nostalgia As A Drug
Woody Allen's most recent film, Midnight in Paris is a perfect story. Not the romance stuff so much. All that's OK. As always, the Woody Allen character (played by Owen Wilson) is found irresistible by young and beautiful women. Ho hum. Right. It's his movie, he can do whatever he wants with that. But the way Allen handled the premise of longing for the past dazzled me. Yes, of course. That's exactly how it is. Nostalgia is seductive. We yearn and yearn for bygone days, when life was simpler, or more creative, or more exciting, or more…whatever. Whatever we need at the moment. Are those good old days really that much better, or is it just easier to imagine they are because we can "remember" only what we choose to?
When Fun-Drunk Goes Bad
New research finds that alcohol doesn't blind us to the stupidity of our drunken actions, it only makes us not care about how stupid they are. This is useful information even for those of us who don't drink to the point of picking fights or doing anything preceded by the command, "Watch this!" (As in the old Texas joke: What are an Aggie's last words?) Drinking does lower inhibitions, which can be a good thing, in moderation. In fact, the researchers found that participants who were given alcohol reported themselves to be feeling "less negative" than the stone-cold sober control group. Certainly a little alcoholic lubricant is just the thing some of us need to cruise through social situations. With the right amount of alcohol, I am pleasantly outgoing. I relax and loosen up. But a drink or two over my line and I am guaranteed intense middle-of-the-night regrets.
