 Renting a Boyfriend is Cheaper Than Renting a CarFor those whose parents nagged them one too many times… [Read in NY Mag] |  9 Surprising Foods With More Sugar Than a Krispy Kreme DoughnutA new report finds that some supposedly healthy foods are actually laden with sugar. [via Mother Jones] |
| For people over 50, getting back onto the scene can be hard and often scary. If you think all decent guys in their thirties are married, finding decent men in their fifties or sixties is like looking for a needle in a haystack. So what did this guy do for his mom? He began looking in a really big haystack – the entire world. He shot, edited and uploaded to YouTube one of the most original profiles you’ve ever seen and his mom’s reaction when she saw it is just priceless. | |

As an Emergency and Internal Medicine Resident, I’ve witnessed the “negative” effects of sugar to patients — lost leg to diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, vision problems, etc.
What most people don’t realize is that everything we eat contains sugar. It’s important that we learn to differentiate processed sugar and natural sugar in food sources. Artificial sweeteners should be avoided or totally eliminated.
And I’m so ready to explore NYC! Thanks for sharing those campsites!
Interesting article! it’s really surprising to know about renting a boyfriend service. I really don’t have any idea about that. Thank you for sharing incredible stories each Friday.
Informative finds! Fantastic article about sugar. An excess of anything is indeed dangerous! Balance is very important. Yeah, sugar is vital to survival, it’s not the devil, JUST DON’T OVERINDULGE 😉
I’m sooooo happy that those cats were rescued! Very adorable! Man, I adore him for having a heart for these cats 🙂
Well, I must admit, that article about foods with “more” sugar than my doughnuts is really surprising! I’m trying to get away with sugar because it causes far more health problems than just making me fat.
Nice find, Urbanette!
Rent-a-boyfriend service?! Really, huh! Well, I personally won’t try it… Not my kind of thing, sorry.
On another note, I was moved by the story of the man who rescued cats!
I would definitely try that boyfriend rental if I lived there 😀 Just for fun though, nothing intimate! Urbanette is really helpful in disseminating information. Great find here 😀
You can go camping in NYC??!! That’s incredible.
BTW – That video is really something.
Yeah, great discovery, Urbanette! Camping in NYC sounds fantastic and a new learning for me!
I’d love to explore the incredible campsites mentioned in the article! Thanks and you discovered it for me, Urbanette!
I had no idea that VitaminWater is so bad for you! Thanks for filling me in. Yukkkkk!!
