FIVE WAYS TO RELAX IN UNDER FIVE MINUTES:

It's important to get a little rest and relaxation every now and then.  But you probably

don't have the extra time or the extra money for a two-week vacation in the Bahamas. 

So here are five ways to relax in under five minutes . . .

#1.)  BREATHE.  Focusing on your breathing can give you a lot of the same benefits as

meditating does.  And you can do it anywhere.  Just take a slow, deep breath in . . . relax

your body . . . hold it for a second . . . then slowly breath out, and repeat.  It really

works.

--But if you start feeling light-headed, stop.

#2.)  WRITE IT DOWN.  It's a way to directly confront the things that are stressing you

out.  And just emptying the clutter in your brain can make you feel better.

#3.)  DRINK SOMETHING.  You can drink anything.  Tea, coffee, V-8.  It doesn't

matter.  Of course, it works a little faster if it's a STIFF drink.  But that's not what we're

talking about here.  It's the ritual of preparing the drink that makes you feel relaxed. 

#4.)  STRETCH.  Stand up, keep your knees slightly bent, bend forward and let your

arms hang.  Let gravity do the work for you.  Then stand up straight, clasp your hands

behind your back, and lift your hands up to stretch out your shoulders and upper back.

#5.)  SING.  Singing along to your favorite song can raise your energy level and put you

in a better mood.  Don't worry if you suck.  Just roll up your windows and pretend you're

on "American Idol".

Valentine's Day may be a SHAM HOLIDAY, but if you're hoping to get some action,

you're going to have to send your girl flowers.

--With that in mind, here's a basic guide to flowers and the meaning of each color:

--RED flowers symbolize romantic love, passion, desire, and eroticism.  And the darker

the red, the deeper the love it symbolizes.

--BLACK flowers symbolize a loss, but they can also mean elegance, power and

mystery.  Plus, sending black flowers is a great way to freak someone out . . . you know,

if you're kind of a psycho.

--WHITE flowers symbolize purity and family.  They're ideal to send to a family member

or close friend.

--YELLOW flowers symbolize friendship and happiness, and can be used to express

congratulations as well.

--GREEN flowers symbolize fertility.

--PINK flowers signify femininity, sweetness, and charm.

--PEACH flowers signify appreciation, and sometimes gratitude. 

--ORANGE flowers symbolize fascination and maybe a hint of mischief.  If you're into

someone but you haven't told them yet, send orange flowers.

--LAVENDER flowers symbolize trust and nobility.

--And BLUE flowers typically symbolize peace and tranquility.  But they can also be

used to express trust and contentment.

--And since we're on the topic of colors, researchers from the University Hospital of

South Manchester in England have found that people associate certain COLORS with

certain MOODS.

--For example, when they're feeling depressed, a person will say they feel "drawn to" the

color GRAY.  And when they're happy, they'll say they're drawn to the color

YELLOW.  Shocking news, right?  (--You can link to the full story here . . .)

TEXT MESSAGES ARE THE BIGGEST RIP-OFF ON THE MARKET:

Recently, the finance gurus over at CNN put their heads together and compiled a list of the nine biggest RIP-OFFS in America.  Check it out:

#1.)  Text messages:  They're basically free to send and receive.  Meaning it doesn't cost the phone company anything to handle them.  But on pay-per-text plans, phone companies will charge as much as 20 cents apiece.  That's a 6,500% markup.

#2.)  Hotel mini-bars:  At an average hotel, mini-bar items typically cost three to four times the retail price.  And at "fancy" hotels, it's not uncommon to markup mini-bar items by as much as 1,300%.

#3.)  Movie theater popcorn:  A medium bag of popcorn costs about 60 cents to make, and it sells for about $6.  That's a 900% markup.

#4.)  Wine at restaurants:  Most restaurants double the price of their more expensive bottles, and triple the price of their cheaper ones.   And if you just buy a glass instead of a bottle, you're going to pay a 500% markup.

#5.)  Hotel in-room movies:  A movie rental at Blockbuster will run you about $5.  But in a hotel, you'll pay anywhere from $10 to $15.  That's a 200% markup.

#6.)  Name-brand painkillers:  A bottle of Advil costs $8.49, while a bottle of the generic stuff goes for $5.29.  That's a 60% markup, even though the no-name stuff works just as well.

#7.)  Super gasoline:  Typically, you're going to pay about 20 cents to 40 cents more for premium gas than the regular stuff.  At $2.72 a gallon for regular gas, that translates to a markup of 15%.

#8.)  College textbooks:  Since 1986, the cost of textbooks has increased at double the rate of inflation.  Now, an average college student will shell out around $900 a year for textbooks.

#9.)  "Free" credit reports:  We've all seen those god-awful ads from FreeCreditReport.com.  The only problem is their service isn't actually free.  It costs $14.99 a month, or $179 a year.  (CNN Money)

Ok so I'm not much of a blogger just not my thing, but when I do come across something interesting I have to share... Like this artical I found while prepping for my show.

ONE IN FIVE DRINKERS WOULD RATHER GIVE UP SEX THAN ALCOHOL:

I enjoy a DRINK as much as the next guy.  At least I thought I did, until I heard this . . .

--According to a new survey from Australia, 30% of drinkers say they'd rather give up their cell phone than alcohol.

--12% would give up their car instead of drinking.  And another 12% would rather ditch their friends than put down the bottle.

--ONE in 20 would rather give up SLEEP than alcohol.

--And ONE in FIVE would rather give up SEX than alcohol.  (???)  (Courier-Mail)

Ya'll drinkers (the hard core ones) are crazy.

Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are wonderful tools for keeping in

touch with your friends and family members.  But there IS such a thing as revealing too

much.

--With that in mind, here are FIVE things you should NEVER do through Facebook or

Twitter:

#1.)  Breakups:  Obviously, breaking up with someone over the Internet is lame.  But

let's extend that to using the Internet to TELL everyone about your break-up. 

--Every time a Facebook friend changes their status from "in a relationship" to "single," I

get kind of bummed out.  Stop bumming me out!!!  Unless of course you're of the

opposite sex, hot, promiscuous . . . and I'm single too.  Then I need to know ASAP.   

(???)

#2.)  Pregnancy scares:  Oh man, you just dodged a bullet there . . . what with all the

risky sexual behavior you've apparently been engaging in.  Were you considering an

ABORTION?  Do I really need to know this???

#3.)  Your daily schedule:  I don't care that you're having lunch with a friend I don't

know, at a restaurant I've never heard of, after a meeting for some job I didn't even

know you had.  Is that clear enough?

#4.)  How wasted you are:  Do I really need to explain why this is a bad idea?  Come

on, you're an adult . . . grow up.

#5.)  Personal messages to celebrities:  It's highly unlikely ANY celebrity . . . let alone

the one you're writing to . . . is going to be checking out your Facebook profile.  So

what's the point?

The holidays are officially over, and with the five-day work week back in full swing, it's

time to drown your sorrows with some heavy drinking.  So "Real Simple" magazine put

together a list of ways to avoid a hangover before, during, and after you drink.

--Some of them are kind of obvious, but some are sort of interesting.  Here are a few . . .

BEFORE YOU DRINK . . .

#1.)  EAT FATTY FOODS.  Food delays the absorption of alcohol, but FATTY foods

do it best because they line your intestines with grease, so the alcohol takes longer to

absorb.

--Also, food that's high in fiber helps break down the booze and keeps it from reaching

your bloodstream as quickly.

#2.)  TAKE VITAMIN C.  Most people know it's supposed to help prevent colds, but

studies suggest that it can also prevent a hangover.

WHILE YOU'RE DRINKING . . .

#1.)  DRINK BETTER LIQUOR.  The cheap stuff isn't filtered as many times, so it has

more congeners (-pronounced CON-je-ners).  Congeners are impurities that form during

the fermentation process, and they help cause hangovers.

#2.)  AVOID CARBONATION.  It makes your stomach expand, which makes you

absorb more alcohol.  It happens with beer, but the bubbles in champagne and tonic

water are worse.

THE NEXT MORNING . . .

#1.)  EAT EGGS.  They have a chemical that helps your liver get rid of harmful free

radicals, and you owe your liver some R&R after a big night.

#2.)  EAT HONEY.  That's what the National Headache Foundation recommends. 

Fructose helps your body metabolize the alcohol.  Plus, honey has vitamin B-6 in it, and

some studies say that helps reduce the effects of a hangover.

#3.)  DRINK PLENTY OF WATER.  One of the main reasons bad hangovers are so

bad is you're SEVERELY dehydrated.  Some symptoms of dehydration include,

headache, dry mouth, dizziness, extreme thirst, and fatigue.  Sound familiar?

Lemondrop.com is a lifestyle website for women that's affiliated with AOL.  Recently, a

writer there polled her friends in order to come up with a list of the worst breakup

excuses they'd ever heard. 

--Here's a look at some of the better . . . or worse . . . ones:

--"You're too nice."

--"I don't want to hurt you."

--"I love you too much."

--"I might move soon, and I don't want to have to factor a relationship into the decision."

--"You suck in bed."

--"I'm actually gay."

(--Okay, some of these are clearly pretty lame . . . like the one about being too nice, or

loving someone too much.  And if someone isn't actually gay, but they use it as an

excuse to break up, that's weak too.)

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO GET YOUR KID TO SMILE WHILE SITTING ON SANTA'S LAP:

Let's face it . . . your typical mall Santa is a little creepy.  And getting your kid to smile for the photo while sitting on Santa's lap is like planning the D-Day invasion.

--But never fear:  We've got a list of tips to get your kid to crack a smile . . . from a website called Holidash.com.  Check it out:

#1.)  Reverse psychology . . . the logic is that when you tell your kids NOT to do something, it increases the chances that they actually WILL.

#2.)  Making funny faces

#3.)  Telling Santa that your kid wants something ridiculous for Christmas like, say, a "ball of snot."  The hope is that Junior then will chime in and tell Santa what he REALLY wants for Christmas.

#4.)  Fart jokes

#5.)  And, finally, when all else fails . . . you can always resort to BRIBERY.  (???)  (Holidash)

HERE ARE 16 ITEMS THAT BECAME OBSOLETE THIS DECADE:

Ten years ago, the world was a vastly different place.  And now that we're about to

begin a new decade, it seems like an appropriate time to look back at how much the

world has changed in that time.

--To show how far we've come, "New York Magazine" came up with a list of 16 once-

common items that were made obsolete in the 2000s.  Check it out:

#1.)  Answering machines

#2.)  Lickable stamps

#3.)  Foldable maps

#4.)  Cathode ray tube TVs

#5.)  Incandescent light bulbs

#6.)  Paying for pornography

#7.)  Smoking in bars . . . which is on its way out, even in states where it's still allowed

#8.)  Fax machines

#9.)  Hydrox cookies  (--which are similar to Oreos)

#10.)  Cassette tapes

#11.)  Floppy disks

#12.)  Phone books

#13.)  Polaroid photos

#14.)  Bank deposit slips . . . which are in the process of being replaced by check-reading

ATMs

#15.)  Subway tokens

#16.)  The Rolodex

FIVE WAYS TO PREPARE YOUR CAR FOR WINTER:

The first official day of winter is a week away, but it already FEELS like winter.  So

even if you think your car is running fine, you should get it checked out before it's too

late.  Because breaking down in cold weather sucks . . . and it can be dangerous.

--Here are five ways to get your car ready . . .

#1.)  CHECK YOUR OIL.  You only need to get your oil changed once every three to

four months.  So if you do it now, you probably won't have to do it again until Spring. 

Plus, there are certain types of oil that can help your car run better in harsh conditions.

#2.)  CHECK YOUR TIRES.  If they're bald, you're asking for trouble.  One little patch

of ice can mean a serious car crash.  Plus, if you hit a pothole with old tires on your car,

it can damage the rims.  Replacing your tires NOW is much cheaper. 

#3.)  CHECK YOUR DEFROSTER AND YOUR HEATER.  Make sure it's running

as well as possible.  That way you won't have to wait as long for your car to warm up in

the mornings. 

#4.)  CHECK YOUR BRAKES.  Being able to stop quickly is always important, but it's

CRUCIAL in the wintertime.

#5.)  PACK THE ESSENTIALS.  In case of an emergency, here's the stuff you should

have in your car at all times:  jumper cables, a spare, a jack, gloves, a blanket, an ice

scraper, a flashlight, snacks, bottled water, and a first aid kit.

INTRODUCING THE WORLD'S FIRST HOODED THONG:

Ladies . . . if you consider yourself to be "fashion forward," then today's your lucky day.

--That's because a couple of fashion designers named Jeannine Han and Umlaut

Brikauski have just created the world's first HOODED THONG.  (???)

--Just so we're clear, yes, by "hooded thong" I mean it's a pair of thong underwear that

has a hood attached to it.

YOU GOT TO SEE THIS LADIES I AM SURE YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.

HERE ARE 20 DO'S AND DON'TS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY WORK PARTY:

#1.)  DO act as if you're being observed.  Because you are. 

#2.)  DON'T talk about work.  Well, okay, you can a little.  But not a lot, and definitely not exclusively. 

#3.)  DO ask about a dress code.  Typically, you'll be shooting for a slightly "fancier" version of your usual professional look. 

#4.)  DON'T spend the whole evening talking to the colleagues you spend all day with. 

#5.)  DO take this chance to get to know your other coworkers . . . and your boss . . . a little better. 

#6.)  DON'T drink too much.  And if photos are being taken, put down your drink first. 

#7.)  DO act like you're happy to be there . . . even if you aren't.  Your company is footing the bill, so try and act grateful. 

#8.)  DON'T flirt.  With anyone.  It's just a bad, bad idea.

#9.)  DO take the opportunity to network with people in other departments, the higher-ups in the company, etc. 

#10.)  DO stay at the party for at least an hour.  Otherwise, you'll give the impression that you didn't really want to be there in the first place. 

#11.)  DON'T be the last one to leave. 

#12.)  DON'T make a pig of yourself at the food table.  You can eat later if you're still hungry. 

#13.)  DO speak and act in ways that make you appear intelligent, agreeable and sane. 

#14.)  DON'T talk politics or religion.  And never tell dirty jokes, or use foul language.

15.)  DO choose subjects that are cordial and uplifting . . . like hobbies, travel or books. 

#16.)  DON'T pull rank by, say, forcing your subordinates to get your drinks for you.  That's really not cool.

#17.)  DO hold your beverage in your left hand so that your right hand will be free and dry when you shake hands.  (???)

#18.)  DON'T gossip.  It's neither the time nor the place. 

#19.)  DO find out first if guests are invited.  And if they are, only bring someone who will reflect well on you. 

#20.)  DON'T forget to thank the party organizers.(Yahoo Finance)

NINE TIPS FOR MEETING SOMEONE ON FACEBOOK:

If you want to widen your dating pool, but you don't feel like signing up for an online

dating service, you should consider meeting someone through Facebook.  Here are 10

tips to help you do just that:

#1.)  HAVE A GOOD PROFILE PICTURE.  That means no photos of you doing a

keg stand, any photo where you're visibly drunk, or a picture of you surrounded by

Hooters girls.

--Your ideal photo should be casual and spontaneous, instead of something posed.  And

it's okay for you to change your default picture fairly frequently.

#2.)  SHAPE YOUR IMAGE.  On Facebook, your profile is your first impression. 

Keep things simple and uncluttered by not posting tons of silly quizzes, boxes, or games.

--Also, consider removing anything from your page that could be considered offensive,

or make you look like a tool.  If your buddies write rude or stupid comments all over

your wall, potential dates are going to be immediately turned off.

#3.)  BE INTERESTING.  People who constantly update their Facebook profile are

annoying.  But a strategically-timed status message or photo album can help your cause

if it makes you seem more interesting . . . like if you're going somewhere cool for a

vacation.

#4.)  JOIN FAN PAGES AND INTEREST GROUPS.  Joining a couple fan and group

pages will help expand your dating pool . . . and it increases your chance of finding

someone who actually enjoys your favorite teams, movies or comedians.

--An added bonus to joining groups is that they might organize events where you can

meet people, and maybe even ask someone out in person.

#5.)  BROWSE YOUR FRIENDS' FRIENDS.  A Harvard study recently found that

70% of time spent on Facebook involves looking at other people's profiles.  So scroll

through your friends' friend lists and see if anyone catches your eye.

#6.)  LOOK FOR RELATIONSHIP STATUSES.  Most people include a relationship

status in their profile.  As a general rule, you should avoid anyone who DOESN'T list

their status. 

--Anyone who has "it's complicated" or doesn't list a status might have baggage . . . or a

crazy ex.  At the same time, you've got to follow this rule in your own profile and list

yourself as single, and looking for a date or relationship.

#7.)  ASK ABOUT THEIR STATUS UPDATES.  If the person you're interested in

posts a status update saying they had a bad day, consider sending them a private

message and asking what's up.

--Or, if they post a cool link, tell them it was interesting.  Just don't do it too often . . .

you'll seem like a stalker checking on their every move.

#8.)  POST ON THEIR PAGE INFREQUENTLY.  You obviously want to show

interest, but most people can sense desperation from a mile away. 

--An occasional post on their wall in fine, but the less you post on their page, the better,

since you want them to know you have a life outside of Facebook.  It'll also show that

they're special enough to communicate with privately, and not on their page for

everyone to see.

#9.)  USE THE CHAT FEATURE.  If you want to get more one-on-one with someone,

instant message them when they're online.  That way, you get an immediate response

instead of waiting for them to reply to a message that may take days to open.

HERE ARE SIX TYPES OF ANNOYING CO-WORKERS:

Admit it . . . you have a few co-workers that you just CAN'T STAND.  It's okay, there

are probably a few people in your office who don't like you either.

--With that in mind, here are six types of annoying co-workers that everyone hates:

#1.)  The Gossip:  Whether we admit it or not, everyone loves a little gossip.  But it

undermines the spirit of the workplace, and creates an atmosphere of paranoia. 

#2.)  The Broken Clock:  This person's always late to meetings, and shows up late for

work.  And when they do finally show up, they spend the entire day instant messaging

and checking Facebook.

#3.)  The Mold Guy:  Every office refrigerator is stocked with moldy, month-old

sandwiches and rotting fruit.  And that's because every office has a Mold Guy who

leaves their leftovers in the office fridge.

#4.) The Stinker:  This is the person who wears way too much cologne or perfume.  Or,

they have wicked B.O., in which case they don't wear enough.

#5.)  The Cracker:  This is the guy who's always cracking jokes, cracking his knuckles,

popping his chewing gum, or clanking spoons in his coffee cup.

#6.)  The Tapper:  This is the guy who spends every meeting tapping away at his smart

phone.

THERE'S A RESORT IN AUSTRIA WHERE YOU CAN SWIM IN A POOL OF

BEER:

Guys . . . the next time you're trying to decide where to go on vacation, you might want

to consider the town of Starkenberger, Austria.

--That's because there's a spa there called the Starkenberger Myth of Beer Resort, and it

has three 5,000-gallon swimming pools full of BEER. 

--That's right . . . swimming pools FULL OF BEER. 

--According to resort officials, swimming in beer can help treat skin conditions, improve

blood circulation and even cure wounds.  The jury is still out as to whether or not that's

actually true.

(--But what do you care?  You get to go swimming in beer.  It's a dream come true!!!)  (???)

WOULD YOU DO IT?

HERE ARE TEN WAYS TO PAY YOUR DATE AN ORIGINAL COMPLIMENT:

How many times has this happened?  You're out on a date with someone you like, and you want to pay them a compliment.  But you don't want to use the same tired line every other jerk uses. 

--Well, the people over at Match.com feel your pain, and they've come up with a list of ten ways to compliment your date, without coming across as an unoriginal tool.  Check it out:

#1.)  Focus on what they haven't heard before:  If your date has nice hair, she probably knows it.  So either come up with a new way to compliment her hair, or bypass the "obvious" qualities in favor of something less appreciated . . . like her posture.  (???)

#2.)  Look for cues:  The question isn't "What do YOU notice about your date?"  It's "What do you think your date WANTS YOU to notice?"  In other words, identify what seems to be important to your date, and focus on complimenting those things. 

#3.)  Get specific:  Vague, general compliments mean absolutely nothing.  So instead of telling a girl she's "pretty," identify a specific, more subtle trait . . . like, say, her sultry voice.  The rule of thumb is the more specific the compliment, the more likely it is to strike a chord.

#4.)  "That color looks great on you":  Apparently, women love this one.  I'm not quite sure why.  But it seems to signify your attraction, as well as demonstrate your eye for good style. 

#5.)  Compliment their home:  If it's clear your date has spent a lot of time and energy setting up her place, then chances are she wants you to notice and appreciate her efforts.

#6.)  Acknowledge their friends:  If you get the chance to meet your date's friends, you

have to show them some love . . . even if they're annoying.  Why?  Because would you

date someone if all your friends hated them? 

#7.)  "You must spend hours at the gym":  The only way this compliment can misfire

is if your date clearly DOESN'T go to the gym.  Otherwise, you can't miss.  Why? 

--Because if they DO go to the gym, they'll appreciate that you noticed their efforts. 

And if they DON'T, you're still complimenting their superior genes.  There's nothing

wrong with that.

#8.)  Beware the lewd and suggestive:  At the end of the date, or sometime soon, you're

hoping for sex.  That goes without saying.  But there's no better way to make sure that

never happens than to use lewd or suggestive euphemisms.  It's just creepy.

#9.)  Never say "I like you":  Why?  Because some people will feel you're coming on

too strong.  Plus, there are much smoother ways to convey the same message. 

#10.)  End on a good note:  If you get a kiss, compliment it immediately.  And even if

you don't, you should end with a broad compliment.  Something like, "You're amazing." 

Basically, you want to end the date on a high, and indicate that you want more.

AND NOW . . . LINGERIE THAT GLOWS IN THE DARK:
