How long will he last?

I have always been a fan of Cam Newton since he entered the scene.

According to a news article earlier this morning, Cam Newton said: “Don’t believe the hype,” while walking on a treadmill. “You know what I’m saying? I never once — and I say this right now — I never once wanted to leave Carolina.”

Question begs, do you think he will last the entire season? Do you think he will stay or go once his year is up?

Let’s not forget in October 2017 when he was raked over the coals for being sexist.

How many people have the Pats signed just to see them go after a game or before the season has begun?

Flowers on a first date


img_20160716_111616

Who doesn’t love flowers? I mean really.

Are the good ole days of men bringing flowers on a first date gone?

When did this stop? or better yet did it stop?

 

This cute article gives some great insight

http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-then/2011/11/the-rules-of-dating-in-1950/

 

Reading the articles we have now talk about flowers as being desperate or needy.

 

Do you think flowers as being as act of kindness or neediness?

Can’t wait to hear what ya’ll think!

What motivates you?

m2

I believe everyone has at least one wake up moment in their life; An epiphany if you will.

I don’t feel there’s a specific age in which that happens either. Life just happens.

When these epiphanies strike and your eyes are wide open, what motivates you to change or look at a situation differently? What motivates you to be the best version of yourself?

Do you believe in ‘Old Wives Tales’?

22

When I get a cold I will do ANYTHING to get better FAST! I literally have had 5 colds in the past 20 years. I have an immune system of steel!

So I heard the old wives’ tale of putting a peeled onion in a bowl in your room and it absorbs bacteria.

Have you heard this?

Onions and the Flu

Q: Can Raw Onion Prevent the Flu?

A: There is no scientific evidence that a cut raw onion absorbs germs or rids the air of toxins/poisons.

A wives tale that dates back as far as the 1500’s claims that placing a cut raw onion in rooms throughout a residence could protect its occupants from getting the bubonic plague.

Long before germs were discovered, the dominate belief was contagious diseases were spread by miasma, or “noxious air.”

While false, this belief remained part of folk medicine through the 19th century claiming to ward off epidemics like smallpox, influenza, and other “infectious fevers.”
