When Gaining Love Means Gaining Weight!

Do you tend to find your weight increases when you enter into a relationship? During weight management coaching, I use a tool called the “lifeline” to help my client and I understand what life events occurred around the time of gaining and losing weight. As my own experiences testify, I have found […]

Prayers for Steven Tyler

Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, has checked himself into rehab. http://www.aerosmith.com/ I pray that he beats whatever addiction he is facing. My view towards drugs has not changed.

Patrick Dempsey Makes Men’s Vogue June Cover

Patrick Dempsey made the June cover for Men’s Vogue magazine, in which they ask the eternal question: Why is Patrick Dempsey (America’s Most Watched Fake Doctor) Addicted to Speed? Hm. I’m assuming that they’re talking about speed as in car racing and not speed as in the drug. I hope, anyway. […]

Do nutritional supplements help with mental health? Part 1: Vitamins that don’t begin with a ‘B’.

I’ve been looking into nutritional treatments for bipolar disorder recently. I was taking a multi-vitamin up until a while ago (ironically enough I stopped taking it because I got depressed and couldn’t be bothered).

Police Charge Sexual Assault Case with Sodomy Law

Sodomy laws were found to be unconstitutional in Lawrence v Texas. That doesn’t seem to have stopped police in North Carolina from charging a North Carolina gay couple with “crimes against nature”.

OK, so she lost 6kg or so in her 12 week challenge. But strangely, in the after photo, she was fully dressed - jeans, long-sleeved jumper, the works. Yes, […]

ADNOYING: “I’M YOUR PUSHER” EDITION

There are dumb, gimmicky promotions and then there are dumb, gimmicky, and socially irresponsible promotions. Chrysler’s latest effort, which has been in heavy advertising rotation for the last week or so, falls squarely in the latter category. See, right now, if you buy certain Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep vehicles, they’ll cap the amount you pay […]

War on America

Perpetrated by ourselves, of course. National wildlife refuges are being overrun with drug operations, prostitution, and general disrepair.
