Well, the equivalent of that for a mouse:
Scientists reported Thursday that there is such a drug — if you happen to be a mouse.
Sedentary mice that took the drug for four weeks burned more calories and had less fat than untreated mice. And when tested on a treadmill, they could run about 44 percent [...]

Okay it’s an old joke but it always makes me smile. I’ve always been a fan of a large variety of seafood, with a focus on fish, I’m also concerned about our environment and anything that encourages the positiveness of domestic seafood sustainability I’m in support of. Being a food tv fan, I [...]

If you haven’t been following the latest Martian rover, Phoenix, then head here for what you’ve missed. I’ve been following the attempt to find water/ice on Mars and it appears that Phoenix was successful in nabbing a piece of ice.
Now scientists will be able to continue to learn even more about Mars…with perhaps the [...]

Our house doesn’t have air conditioning so there are days like today when it’s pretty miserable, so I was searching YouTube with the intention of having one of my “music flashback” moments be a song related to how hot it was. Instead, I came across this video and it is really pretty neat. [...]

As most of you know, I’m the curious sort of person, so when I see something like an abbreviation, I always wonder, “what does that stand for?” Take KVM as an example, it can mean “Kernel-based Virtual Machine” for when it is referencing a KVM switch it means “Keyboard, Video or Visual Display Unit, [...]

Powerful video that I highly recommend watching:

It makes the point, that solutions can happen, that we can actually change the world if we focus on saving one girl at a time.

With the behavior I’ve seen recently in my home by some of my daughter’s friends and watching some of those who are friends of friends, there is a clear lack of parenting that is happening. It made me wonder if there was some type of a “Common Sense Mom franchise” which it appears there [...]

That’s the discussion taking place on this blog. I have to wonder about the parents stating how spying is wrong would feel if some predator convinced their child that they were a friend and then some harm became them. The primary reason to check up on your child’s online activities is not so [...]

When I had a larger kitchen with ample counter space and one of those farmhouse sinks I used to can my own tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, applesauce, and a variety of other items such as home made pickles. It was a lot of work but it did end up being cheaper (once I proved that [...]

Our house is a bit out of the ordinary, in most houses the better television and surround sound system goes in the living room or the family room, in our house it goes in the bedroom. Or at least it did. Now that my husband’s doing the whole “man cave” thing, the better [...]

Now that I’ve finally learned how to at least use text messaging on a phone as well as how to send pictures and videos, since my new phone does have Mp3 capabilities it has made me start thinking about ipods not just for music. There are quite a few political podcast (and even my [...]

I don’t normally like remakes at all when it comes songs, this isn’t technically a total remake but I do really like it and it is very true. When you listen to the lyrics it doesn’t count as an uplifting song that makes you feel good, but it does make you think. So, [...]

At one point in time when my oldest daughter was getting ready to move out west we did consider using a company like Auto Transportation Worldwide to ship her car out west rather than driving it. For us it ended up being a scenario were we decided to make a road trip out of [...]

It used to be that a simple flea collar would work, I’m not sure if the fleas have gotten hardier or what but every year they become more of a problem. None of my cats go outside, but we have one dog (Quilla) who seems to be a flea magnet. We’ve even purchased [...]

When I had my old cell phone no one sold accessories for it, yes, that tells you how old it was. Now that I have a new phone that is no longer a problem and it’s kind of neat to see all of the different types of accessories you can buy for a cell [...]

One of my favorite songs by Morris Day and the Time is “Jungle Love” those that know my political blog might have guessed that with the name being “Glass City Jungle” and if you’ve visited my MySpace that’s my MySpace song. I came across this video from a live performance and Morris can still [...]

Sure the title isn’t technically correct to ask what you are “going to be” but lots of parents and children dream about what they are “going to be” when they grow up. Sometimes dreams happen before they grow up which is why sites like Gonnabe.com are out there.
I watched the Barbie spoof ad and [...]

I don’t use my cell phone that often, and the one I have is several years old. With my oldest daughter moving to California she gave me her old cell phone plan so that I can call her without it costing anything since her plan allows for one person to be “free” and my [...]

It’s been interesting watch my husband slowly move piece after piece of furniture downstairs into the basement to create this whole concept of a “man cave” that he’s dreaming of. I keep trying to remind him that eventually one of the girls is going to move back home and is going to need that [...]

While maybe it would make a difference to do as the video suggests, though I don’t really see how it would make that large of a difference:

If your home doesn’t have central air conditioning the only thing featured in the video that would help would be to turn the hose on yourself.
