Posting Stuff Late!

Hey everyone! For those of you who visited looking for my weekend 6 in 1 blog hop, I'm sorry that I didn't post it over the weekend. It was a little difficult since I was at my mother's place and she has the crappiest computer on earth! I added a tab for my 6 in 1 hopping, and will post the hop today. I will let it run all week until the weekend. I will also be posting my Thinspiration Sunday, and Weekend Recipe blog hop which will be open all week long.

Nerve: Poise Under Pressure, Serenity Under Stress, and the Brave New Science of Fear and Cool - GIVEAWAY!

Taylor Clark, author of Starbucked (2007), has long had problems with anxiety. Unhappy with the books he was finding on the subject, Clark decided to write one himself. A lively, eye-opening read, Nerve: Poise Under Pressure, Serenity Under Stress, and the Brave New Science of Fear and Cool features fascinating research on fear, anxiety and stress, as well as compelling stories from people who have faced intensely challenging situations.

The opening section of the book is called “The Nervous Trinity,” a reference to fear, anxiety and stress. Are these three things so different from each other?

The Way White Woman are Portrayed in Bollywood

I recently received an email from a reader (a white woman from the US with an Indian husband). She wrote to me with concern about the way white women are portrayed in Bollywood. In particular, she feels that the stereotype of white women as disposable sexual objects is a key factor in the problems that white women face in India.
She wrote this letter to an editor of a newspaper after her first trip to India a number of years back.

Dear Editor,
Bollywood has been engaging in a disturbing trend. The Indian film industry has propagated harmful stereotypes of Westerners (especially white women) in almost all films set in America and the United Kingdom. Caucasian women are consistently portrayed as scantily dressed dancers, crazy, drug addicts, deficient in some other manner, or even as prostitutes. Westerners are rarely presented as suitable or desirable spouses. During my entire lifetime in the United States I have never witnessed a group of American women spontaneously start dancing in revealing costumes.

Another Update

I haven`t posted for a few days... why... I don`t really know. I`ve been feeling a little down and have no idea why. Mom went home a couple days ago, so I`ve been on my own. I`m finding it very hard getting enough protein, and sick of adding protein powder to everything. I`m finally allowed to have pureed food, so today I have to go shopping for some stuff. I can have poached eggs, and I`m going to make a lentil soup later today. It`s now become a chore to eat. I actually don`t feel like eating! I never thought I would ever say something like that.

I weighed myself this morning... I`m at 247lbs. It isn`t coming off as fast as I was expecting, but I guess every little bit I will take and enjoy. My problem now is trying to get out and start moving. My anxiety seems to be getting the better of me, and I have to seriously give it a kick in the ass. It will be a struggle to get ready today, but I`m determined to shower, straighten my hair and put make-up on. I`m losing weight and I should start feeling better about myself... so how come I don`t? When I get down to a normal weight... will I still feel fat and depressed? What`s wrong with my mind? When I have an UP day I`ll take it.

seemingly endless
treadmill
always feeling a couple steps behind
never catching up
miles and miles to go
horizon forever shifting
when life itself becomes
relegated to a number
or, mythologically speaking
dragging a huge weight up a hill
on your back
the peak always elusive
vultures circling
storm clouds brewing
with sweat falling drop by drop
into churning anxious rivers

Dangers of Aspartame and Diet Pop

Are you sick and dont know it?

There are 92 documented symptoms of ASPARTAME, from coma to death. The majority of them are all neurological, because the ASPARTAME destroys the nervous system. ASPARTAME Disease is partially the cause to what is behind some of the mystery of the Dessert Storm health problems some of the soldiers are experiencing. The burning tongue and other problems discussed in over 60 cases can be directly related to the consumption of an ASPARTAME product. Several thousand pallets of diet pop were shipped to the Dessert Storm troops. (Heat can liberate the methanol from the ASPARTAME at 86 degrees F). Diet pop sat in the 120 degree F. Arabian sun for weeks at a time on pallets. The service men and women drank this diet pop all day long. All of their symptoms are identical to ASPARTAME poisoning.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Update

Happy Wednesday everyone! Just wanted to give you all an update on how I'm doing. I'm feeling much better and no longer on pain killers. I haven't been online much to post since my mother is still staying at my place... she's addicted to Facebook! I will be using my netbook to check emails, but it's too slow to do any blogging or respond to any one's comments. I'm behind on replies and reviews, but I haven't forgotten.

Thanks to everyone who wished me well.
All the best,

5 Differences Between Wideband and Broadband Internet

Wideband was a term that has previously been used in conjunction with radio and television frequencies, not the internet. That has changed in the last couple of years and you will begin hearing it more and more in the future.

HIGH TECH DETOX: How Powering Down Devices Can Help Reboot Relationships

Are you addicted to technology? Can you go a week without the Internet, or even a day? The degree to which we find ourselves hungrily tapped into the constant flow of electrically charged information gathering can be tested. Simply unplug. Then, note your responses.


I recently returned home after being gone for several months and discovered that I had no cell phone charger with me. And my iPhone was dead. My cable was turned off so I had no access to the Internet.

Naturally, I set about trying to rectify the situation but, living on an island, I couldn’t just go out and buy a phone charger and as it was a Friday night of a holiday weekend, no one could be dispatched to solve the cable issue for several days.
