facebook killed the blogger storm

If you look at my last blog post it has been a while.

If you look at when I signed up for facebook it should match up pretty close to when I last blog'd.

I wonder if other blogs have seen the same fate.

Or is it Ijust ran out of things to say.... hmmmmm.....

Two minute tug - it's not what you think.

More great useless information form Hugo. Thnx for sending it to my wife but she has one question – “What if you're a Brazilian????”


Two minute tug on the rug can help you lose weight, look more beautiful???!!!

MSN News - Women can lose weight and look more beautiful simply by tugging on their pubic hair, according to Shukan Josei (5/22).
Clutching at the map of Tasmania stimulates the sex hormones, gets blood flowing toward the genitals and releases pheromones.
It's the release of pheromones that is said to give women in love their "glow" and what is being attributed for making women who try the trick appear to be more beautiful.
Women are advised to tug their pubes while they're still dry and then move the clump of hair around in a circular motion. They're also told to run their fingers through their pubic hair the same way they would do when fondling their regular hair.
Women are told not to worry about pubic hairs that fall out and to continue yanking away for about 1 to 2 minutes.
That's the theory, but does it really work? A little bit, according to physician Hideo Yamanaka.
"If the erogenous zones near the genitals are aroused, it leads to an increased emission of the female hormone estrogen, which certainly makes the skin look better," Dr. Yamanaka tells Shukan Josei. "It could also help alleviate the ill effects of menopause and irregular periods."
Dr. Yamanaka continues: "One of the effects of female hormones is to make it easier for fat to build up under the skin, which gives women a more feminine look."
So, there may be something in the claims that pulling on pubes makes women beautiful. But the doctor is more skeptical when it comes to any dietary benefits.
"I really don't know about this being any good in terms of a diet. Normally, dieting tends to limit the amount of female hormones emitted," Dr. Yamanaka tells Shukan Josei. "But if women did this while they were also on a diet, I guess there is a possibility that it could make them look both beautiful and thinner." (By Ryann Connell) May 11, 2007



I don't think they meant this kind of hair tugging.

Changes

Ever had that "leaving a job" feeling?

Its when you have just days left before you are to leave and you start thinking about the things you are going to miss about your old job. Most times when you leave a job there are reasons for your departure but there are always goods thing and good people you wish you could take with you. That was the case at my last job - I wont name names but I know for a fact that a few people from my past employer will read this and to those people I would like to say thnx for being part of my 20 month run there(wow only 20 months - it seems a lot longer). I will miss you but will not miss the late night camp checks and the haunted SSJV (always felt like someone or something was watching me go into the Fire Hall...) There were good time had with many.

Now a note to all friend and foe of my last employer - If you feel the need to spread vicious rumors about me, tell and make up lies about my sexual orientation, and/or just plain curse me out - by all means have at 'er. The bigger and the more witnesses the better. But make me one promise - let me know what the rumors are so I can confirm them all. And also - if something goes wrong over shutdown - blame me. It's always the fault of the guy who just left

But with every ending there is a beginning and the new job is looking to be a good challenge - I already have homework!! I am treated with respect and given freedom to let my skills prove themselves - it feels good. And it will not take me long for me to get back to real world hours. I think the biggest challenge Kellee and I face is the purchase of a home . We should have no problem selling our current house in Athabasca but the hard part will be finding a place in the greater Edmonton area at a half decent price. We are finishing up the renovations that we started and after that we will list it. Know of any body interested please direct them to us.

To all my friends at Alpac - keep in touch!

Men Drained In Bed

I knew it!! Check this out...

Scientists in Austria say sharing a bed with someone temporarily reduces men's
brain power.

When men spend the night with someone their sleep is disturbed,
whether they make love or not, and this impairs their mental ability the next
day.

According to the New Scientist study, women who share a bed fare
better because they sleep more deeply.

Professor Gerhard Kloesch and
colleagues at the University of Vienna studied eight unmarried, childless
couples in their 20s.

Each couple was asked to spend 10 nights sleeping
together and 10 apart while the scientists assessed their rest patterns with
questionnaires and wrist activity monitors.

The next day the couples
were asked to perform simple cognitive tests and had their stress hormone levels
checked.

Although the men reported they had slept better with a partner,
they fared worse in the tests, with their results suggesting they actually had
more disturbed sleep.

But women apparently managed to sleep more deeply
when they did eventually drop off, since they claimed to be more refreshed than
their sleep time suggested.

Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert at the
University of Surrey, said: "Historically, we have never been meant to sleep in
the same bed as each other. It is a bizarre thing to do.

"Sharing the
bed space with someone who is making noises and who you have to fight with for
the duvet is not sensible."
