You'll know them if you read this blog.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/662313Is HFCS as bad as some people say? Or is it like the industry that produces it says, 'Just like sugar, and OK in moderation'? The answer is both. High fructose corn syrup is really not metabolized any differently than sugar. Unless you count the chemical processing it goes through, and the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/435550I have been closely watching the bank account, as we are on a verrrry tight budget this month. I went shopping on Sunday, and then have checked the account at least once in the morning and once in the evening since then. I wanted to see if my theory is true. Sure enough, today it happens. There...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/424226Wow. If I didn't believe in karma before this week, I do now. If you read my recent blog about Thanksgiving week, you know we've had a rough holiday season so far. Here's what happened today. I got an email from a friend asking me if she could give me some clothes that she needed to clean out of...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/421372In my humble opinion, honesty really is the best policy. I got into it with a friend last night, and it went according to the usual script. We were talking late at night, which with this friend means she was already fairly drunk. S is an alcoholic, and although functional, can be rather...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/418898I don't know if I didn't realize I was doing it, or if I was actually thinking I had the correct usage, but my pet peeve of people not differentiating between it's and its....I found it in my own work!!!!!! Man, eating my own words for breakfast gives me a stomach ache. LOL Well, bloggers, I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/418710I wonder sometimes, when commenting, do you leave your comment after reading the post but before reading the other comments? Or do you read all the comments in addition to the post, and then leave yours? I do both. If I have a strong opinion about the subject I just read, I sometimes leave the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/418343I listen to so much complaining. I even do my fair share. I also try to say uplifting things, praise people for kindness, point out good fortune. I try to focus on the answer to the problem, rather than the problem itself. I try to understand my own nature. I try to live life as if each day is...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/417224without picking out the grammatical errors, the misspellings, the improper use of words. Does this make me a bad blogger? I hope not, but maybe. I don't get obsessed with it when the stuff I'm reading about is mundane or pleasantly interesting. But when I get fired up about the stuff a person is...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/415910What our country needs is more responsible citizens. More people willing to do more than sit in the peanut gallery and shout snide things, like a bunch of deranged back seat drivers. We need less people ranting in a blog (I just wrote myself out of the equation, then, didn't I?) and more people...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Schatz6374/413697If I could choose to be happy for the rest of my life, even if it meant people other than my immediate family and best friends thinking I was completely delusional, I would take happy, hands down. If you told me that you could show me something that would change my thinking permanently, but that...
