March 25, 2013 I admit it. I am a "cheese-a-phobe". I have never liked cheese, any cheese, and this puts me in a very, very small minority of Americans. A new survey reported by YahooFinance found that 96% of Americans polled liked some kind of cheese and, furthermore, that many would rather ditch their cellphone or not watch TV for a week rather than give it up. The numbers are surprising.
January 19, 2013 It is said that temptation is the root of all evil and, if so, there are an awful lot of roots out there. We all have temptations, most of us on a daily basis, and the key is resisting them. What are the biggest ones? Eating too much? Telling a "little white lie?" A new survey lists the most common ones.
November 27, 2012 When you have a decision to make do you do exhaustive research, trust your instincts or both. Most people would probably say, "both". There are occasions , however, when a decision must be made without the benefit of research. What to do? Trust your "gut".
November 6, 2012 We all know that those household chores need to be done. We also know which ones we dread doing. But how about those chores that we enjoy or at least don't mind doing. A new survey by Harris Interactive Polls found that there are some chores that we really don't mind doing.
April 25, 2012 I was cleaning out the garage over the weekend when I came across golf bag pull cart. I couldn't remember ever having one until it struck me that I had borrowed it from Greg "Splashin" McShea about a year ago. When I brought it to his attention I was relieved to hear him say that he had forgotten all about it. But that's not always the case.
January 2, 2012 One day last week I came home and my wife was having lunch with her daughter and daughters-in-law. After I said hello I thought for a minute about pulling up a chair and joining the conversation but after overhearing what was being talked about I decided against it. It seems that men and women talk about different things when they are with with a group made up exclusively of their own gender than they do in mixed company. I checked out a website called Allwomenstalk.com to find out what girls talk about amongst themselves.
December 30, 2011 The other day I went out to start my car. It was cold and since I always lock my car I had to fumble for my keys. Now I don't think I have an excessive number of keys on my key ring but it took me almost a minute to find the right one, separate it from the pack and get it into the lock so I could get into the car and warm up.
December 28, 2011 When I went to the gym the other day I was stunned. It was packed and a lot of the faces I saw were new leading me to believe that a lot of people were kick starting their New Year's resolution to lose weight or get in better shape. With the new year 2012 just days away it's time to decide what changes you want to make over the course of the next 12 months.
December 5, 2011 It is the holiday season and there will be all kinds of parties and get togethers in the days and weeks ahead leading some of us to imbibe just a little more than we normally would. There are, however, a few things one should never do when enjoying more than a couple of drinks. First among them, of course, is driving. Drinking and driving is stupid, illegal and--did I say STUPID? Therefore a designated driver is always called for. There are a number of other things that guyism.com suggests avoiding.
December 2, 2011 We all have a favorite Christmas movie. Some like the comedies such as "National Lampoon Christmas Vacation" while others prefer more traditional fare like "Miracle on 34th Street" or "It's A Wonderful Life". But what does our taste in Christmas movies say about us? A lot according to Shine from Yahoo.
November 16, 2011 A recent Harris Interactive Poll asked the question, "What state would you like to live in other than the one you live in now". The answer? Surprise, surprise, if you said Hawaii you would not be alone. The "Aloha State" topped the list of most desirable places to live with other sun-drenched states close behind. This marks the first time since 2001 that California did not top the list.
