This is a random post, but I have in the past few months come across some facts that freaked me out...you know, the kind of things you really wished you had never learned. I thought I would share these, but I decided to balance them out with facts that are kind of fun knowing! Enjoy!
Things I didn't want to know:
1. You should avoid the salad bar at restaurants because of all the dead skin that floats around in the air.
2. Dentists recommend that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 ft. away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.
3. The oreo cookie is one of the worst things you can eat...the state of California is trying to ban them because of the high level of trans fats. (This is very depressing for me!)
4. To burn off one plain M&M candy, you need to walk the full length of a football field. (And why is it that I don't weigh in at 395 pounds??)
5. Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. (This is scary for our kiddos--big ears from Martens and big noses from Stuarts!)
6. In the US--for every dollar you spend on gasoline--27 cents of it is in taxes. (Ugh!)
OK---some fun things to know!
1. The average housewife walks 10 miles a day around the house doing her chores!!!
2. Women have a slightly higher average IQ than men. (This one may be a no-brainer!)
3. Only 1% of Bacteria causes disease. (This is comforting as you haul your kids to school.)
4. Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. (Random, but good info. when your husband flies all the time.)
5. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. (I knew I liked sleep for some reason!)
Have a great day!!!

the donkey fact is VERY FUNNY! who'd a thunkit?
oreos. i have no words for what my heart feels about that.
the locketts, that is amazing! it is encouraging to read about people making positive differences. shane and i have been talking about the upcoming elections and all the ramifications of it. in the midst of super tuesdays and such, it is encouraging to see the good things folks are doing!
back to the oreos. i wander if it's better to just eat a single stuff vs. double.
in shane's nutrition class today he learned that chips have approx. 1gram of fat per chip. YOWSER! since we've been in healthy eating boot camp we've not been eating out tons. tonight i just had to try sonic's steak sandwich and onion ring meal. it was good, but i couldn't even finish half of it, and man my stomach hurt after. it's crazy how eating better makes the junk make you feel so yucky.
about the oreos. God is sovereign. don't you think he created the thought in the oreo inventor's head to invent them in the first place ;)! i guess i might just switch to chips ahoy.
