 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. | |

Some of these foods are made with natural sugar….which is definitely not the same as the sugar in those donuts. Calories are not made equal!
Rent A Boyfriend? No, thank you! How DESPERATE one has to be to do that?
I know I will catch hell for this, but, New York State has so many great campgrounds, any list would be predjudiced. We alll have our own favorites. Among ours, are, Fair Haven, North Bay, Cedar Point, Stillwater Reservoir, Whetstone Park, Golden Hills. Theres many more, and, all have their own charms, and beauty…
I find this very sad. With China’s one child policy, they have many more men than women. Simple laws of supply and demand tell you that he should be the one paying for the date with her. Something doesn’t pass the smell test here, Asian social mores need a reality check.
Lovely post about the rescue of three feral kittens. Truly heart warming. 🙂
How about a bottom 10 list? One I would not recommend going to is Lake George Battleground State Park. You have no isolation from the people in the next site, they are literally right next to you. I saw one person drive their truck and camper through another persons site to get it into their site, almost flattening the tent that was set up. And it’s right on Route 9 so you get a lot of traffic noise at night.
Calories ARE created equally, actually. It’s a unit of measurement only, not an ingredient. It measures the amount of energy used to burn fuel. Period. Saying calories are not created equal is like saying one inch is shorter than another inch because you poured sugar on it. How did we all become so ignorant and stupid to believe the rest of the hype?
I think – Sugar is bad, because we consume way way way too much. Starting addiction as children and never stopping as adults. For goodness sakes bank tellers offer lollypops to kids…. Hidden sugars, “open” sugars, raw, organic… Too much. Artificial sweeteners is NOT a replacement of sugar, it is not a solution for diabetic, it is unsafe. Our bodies are not equipped to handle it. Avoid. If you want a treat have a fruit, berries and so on..
“Renting a boyfriend” is better known as buying a hooker in the rest of the world. LOL
Ahh how adorable are those kitties! Such a cute story! 🙂
