I pulled this comic off of my friend Lora's blog. Lora and I used to work and run together when I lived in Utah.

I love my daughter


I was in Ali's room the other day and I noticed that she had made a sign to remind her to say her personal prayers. She is such a strength to me in so many ways.

Legoland


This past weekend we went to Legoland and had such a fun time. The lines weren't too long and I discovered this yummy dessert. It consisted of fresh strawberries grown locally in Carlsbad and the strawberries were topped with soft-serve ice cream (my mouth is watering as I write this). Look at the picture and guess who didn't want to have their picture taken?

Someone sent this to me

I just received an email containing the following information and even having a cute picture to illustrate:

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense swe ating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & Send to a friend. It could save a life.
So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

The funny thing is that this is totally a myth!!! It is interesting how something that seems to make sense is not true at all.

My Fluoride Pet Peeve

Why do people not give their kids fluoride? It is proven effective and supported by the American Medical Association, the American Dental Association, the American Dietetic Association and etc... I'm a firm supporter. How about you?

Clinton for President

My daughter wants Hilary Clinton to win the presidential race because she is female and would be the first female president. We're voting for Romney (yes he had an ad in the Superbowl$$), but I understand her point on finally having a female president. What do you think?
