Sign on the wall at the cashier’s station in a drive-through Taco Bell. The sign has since been moved, apparently because Taco Bell realized that customers can read. I doubt that it’s because Corporate noticed that there is an epidemic of obesity in the US. ATTENTION CASHIERS When ringing up a Value Meal your reply to the customer must be… “That is a Large Value Meal. will there be anything else?” Do not ask: – Medium or Large? – What size? – Do you want Medium?

Before you think I’m defending the borderline, let me state uncategorically that I avoid them like the plague in real life. Here’s a good article that explains why borderline personality disorder is often misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder. http://www.nimh.nih.gov/publicat/bpd.cfm While a person with depression or bipolar disorder typically endures the same mood for weeks, a person with BPD may experience intense bouts of anger, depression, and anxiety that may last only hours, or at most a day. These may be associated with episodes of impulsive aggression, self-injury, and drug or alcohol abuse. Distortions in cognition and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are. Such symptoms are most acute when people with BPD feel ...

people who experience mood swings fear voices visions each other on the internet for advocacy and support I don’t know where to start to talk about Sylvia Caras. Award-winning mental health consumer advocate, speaker and author, founder of the Madness group and of People Who , Grandma, and a really together lady. I really look up to her – and if you know me, I don’t look up to anyone! Sylvia recently accepted two of my blog articles for inclusion on the People Who site. Do stop over and look at what she is doing for us.  

And a Happy Easter to all my friends of the Christian persuasion. Thanks to says-it.com .

Didgeridoo playing as alternative treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome: randomised controlled trial — Puhan et al. 332 (7536): 266 — BMJ . No, not a shamanistic ritual. The didgeridoo is an Australian aborigine wind instrument. It is a long tube, traditionally made of wood. The timbre and tone depend upon the size of the instrument, whether the wood is straight or has a more interesting shape. If you attend folk festivals you’ve probably heard a digeridoo. You can buy quite nice ones made of plastic – the one pictured at left is a good example. You can even make one yourself out of a leftover length of plastic pipe. The didgeridoo is sometimes used as part of a musical meditation . Its droning tone is very relaxing. I found digeridoo music to be a nice complement to reiki.   In conclusion, didgeridoo playing improved daytime sleepiness in patients with moderate snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea and reduced sleep disturbance in their par...

Russian Haggis Recipe Хаггис (dreaded haggis) / Gotovim.RU2 For some reason I was looking up “dreaded haggis” on Google the other day. Oh, right, to scare the Russians. Much to my surprise, I found a recipe for it on a Russian site. Why should the Sassenachs be the only ones to suffer?

Ahmet Zappa – Mighty McFearless Zappa says Fraggle film will rock . The children of Frank “ 200 Motels ” Zappa and Jim “ The Muppets ” Henson are collaborating. It is likely to frag the underpinnings of civilization, if not the very fabric of the universe. Were you as confused as I was as a child by the TV show Fraggle Rock ? It wasn’t much better than the truly horrific Banana Bunch but was marginally less traumatizing. Ahmet Zappa is getting together with Lisa and Brian Henson to resurrect Fraggle Rock. Why, I don’t know. Preliminary information is that they will be attempting to recreate the entire 98-episode Fraggledom in one Epic Film. “It’s a complete ecosystem,” Zappa said of Henson’s idea to show children how living creatures need each other. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Military.com: Navy to Deploy Anti-Terrorism Dolphins LaPuzza said that because of their astonishing sonar abilities, dolphins are excellent at patrolling for swimmers and divers. When a Navy dolphin detects a person in the water, it drops a beacon. This tells a human interception team where to find the suspicious swimmer. … Sea lions can carry in their mouths special cuffs attached to long ropes. If the animal finds a rogue swimmer, it can clamp the cuff around the person’s leg. The individual can then be reeled in for questioning. This gives new meaning to the name “Navy Seals.” There was a truly pitiful movie out in the ’70s called “Day of the Dolphin.” In it, George C. Scott plays a scientist who trains dolphins to talk and to place magnetic mines on ships’ hulls for the military. The high point of the movie was when the male, named Alpha, squeaked and whistled his love for the female dolphin, Beta. Oh, and there was a secondary plot...

‘J.B.S. Haldane was once asked what the study of biology could tell one about the Almighty. “I’m really not sure,” said Haldane, “except that He must be inordinately fond of beetles.” There are thought to be at least 300,000 species of beetles. By contrast there are only about 10,000 species of birds.’ Nobel Laureate Prof. Francis Crick in “How I Got Inclined Towards Atheism,” an excerpt from What Mad Pursuit: A Personal View of Scientific Discovery
