Will video's games and robots take over our life in the near future, only time will tell! Is it possible for our perspectives to change without us changing? When we're disappointed with a purchase, it's hard to believe we got what we paid for. I've gotten some expensive lessons in life. I don't think I'm compulsive about cleaning my kitchen. Some people think you are what you eat. I just think you are where you eat. Has lack of sleep become this century's sleeping sickness? A man is known by the company he keeps - and the things he collects. Tired of celebrating birthdays? Buy some champagne and confetti and celebrate your very own New Year's Day. Plastic is replacing glass; but as it fills our dumps and leaches chemicals into our soil, the convenience of plastic has become a curse. It's changed our lives and soon it will change our language. We'll be wearing eyeplastics and serving beverages in drinking plastics. As a child, I was told I had to drink eight glasses of water a day. By third grade I'd figured out that was two quarts. Now experts have changed their minds. We don't have to drink that much water unless we want to float a loan. My grandmother didn't approve of the romance novels I read as a teenager. She called them trash novels. However, she had an even lower opinion of newspapers like the Star and the National Enquirer. She called them bird cage liners. Part of looking good is thinking you look good. Unfortunately, more of us should look in mirrors. Fad backward is daf. The most common dream is that our teeth are falling out. This dream reflects concern over our appearance or how others see us. These dreams mean we're experiencing a loss of power, a sense of inferiority or a lack of confidence. Maybe this is the most common dream because interpreting it gives us a lot to sink our teeth into. From the beginning of time inventions have changed our lives. Take indoor plumbing, for example. If indoor plumbing hadn't been invented, we'd all be outsiders. Some people say you make your own luck. My grandmother disagreed. She said what you make is effort and the more effort you make, the luckier you'll be. They say we are what we eat. If we eat what the locals eat when we travel, does that make us locals too? My grandmother said beauty starts within. I hope she meant within the walls of "Spas R Us". I didn't put up Christmas decorations this year. Because we were going to be away, it seemed like too much work. Instead, I decorated myself with a smile. Every winter my electric blanket was my security blanket. Then a report said I was sleeping under a magnetic field that could make me sick - and that didn't sound like a field of dreams. According to my grandmother, a house is a house; but a home is what you make it. Unfortunately, she often followed those profound words with "and you can start by making your bed". Getting enough sleep is important for our health. According to the National Sleep Foundation 100,000 car accidents are caused by sleep deprivation every year - but we're not meant to lose sleep worrying about it. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | ||
