OOOO, SHINEY!

As some of you know, my laptop had kind of a bad experience. One of the hinges froze, then broke away from the LCD when I was trying to close it (not even hard!!). It still functions, but it is just a matter of time until the connection is broken. So, I used my bonus (and a little extra) to buy a new one.
This was actually quite a hard decision for me to make, I almost didn't buy a new one. Those of you that know me, just about peed your pants/spit out something, but it's true. Apple had a great Black Friday deal that I could combine with my discount from work, so it was too hard to pass up.
Just to make sure you all think that I have completely lost it, I didn't get the black one.

Well, maybe I'll have better luck next year

My friend Kashka Z just posted that she finished her NaNo. Which is a huge accomplishment! I think my word count is up to 375 words, which is just a few short. But if I keep this pace, I should finish it 11/30/39 (as in 2139!). Unfortunately, that is probably when they will unthaw Robert Jordan to cure him, so he can finish the wheel of time series....

Who wants to host this party?

With our house on the market, can't really commit to hosting this, but surely someone will!

Is Pornography Addictive?

No, it is just good clean fun, despite what WebMD has posted about it.

IF anyone has any doubts, I will bring some right over and we will do some objective testing.

My new job!

Want to look and feel younger as you go through life? Of course you do, who wouldn't? Well, according to research done by professional doctors and scientists it is possible to look and feel 10 years younger as you go through life.

All you have to do is have more sex. I knows that sounds like a come on, but I did make this up. It is one of the findings reported at the International Conference on Healthy Ageing and Longevity, which takes place annually in Australia. The conference is co-sponsored by Australia and the United Nations World Health Organization, which were legitimate enough credentials to put my normally skeptical look as such research to rest.

One of the conference's speakers, Australian sex therapist Jo-Anne Baker, told the assembled scientists, doctors and professors: “A recent study revealed that those who had sex an average of four times a week looked and felt 10 years younger than those who had less sex, due to the production of endorphins and other feel-good chemicals.”

She admitted that many couples with young children, heavy work schedules and bills to pay often find it hard to feel in the mood for sex once a week, let alone four times. She recommended that people explore sexual appetite stimulants to help create the sexual urge. Among the stimulants, she suggested people try flirting, fantasizing and erotic play.

“People wanting longevity and good health can’t afford to let this area of life slip, even if they merely engage in self-love,” Baker told those attending the conference.

Dr. Bradley Wilcox, another conference speaker, agreed and said sex is nature's way of boosting etrogen and testosterone levels in women and men as they get older.

“It stands to reason that when you are sexually active the body recognizes the need for certain hormones to be produced,” said Dr. Wilcox, internationally recognized for his research on people who have lived for 100 years or more and stayed healthy. He said these centenarians credited intimacy, as well as good diet, for their longevity.

Ms. Baker said that touching the skin during sex releases opiates; and sex prompts the release of natural amphetamines which keep humans stimulated and full of energy.

Professor Suresh Rattan said that physical sexual activity produces "good stress" on the body because it helps jump start, if you will, the immune system.

What ever happened to...

The synthesizer?
Headbands?
Useless buckles and zippers?

Maybe VH1 Classic Rock is not the best station for me to watch....
