mae all..how are we today then?well for those on the other side of the puddle ..Happy thanksgiving....you owe us that one too...we sent the Pilgrims to you in 1620!anyways here you go..read and inwardly digest prior to those dfinner fights!!
Arguing with the in-laws is a time-honored holiday tradition the world over - but with passions running high after Donald Trump's election, many Americans will be navigating a minefield as they celebrate Thanksgiving today.
Thankfully, the internet has stepped up with a host of tips for taking the peril out of the occasion - starting with a list of arguments to divert from an unwanted foray into politics.
Things that are OK to spar over, as listed by CNN, include: How to cook the turkey, roast, grill or deep-fry? And the stuffing, inside the bird or on the side? Cranberry sauce, canned or freshly made? What to do before you eat - crash out in front of the TV or build your appetite with a walk?stay clear of politics,hair styles,building work,immigration,Chinese imported goods,..if any of these subjects come up feign a sudden attack of sleep!
personally I prefer the Japanese idealogy....
In a discovery that will give nutritionists the shivers, a Japanese scientist has discovered that consuming ice cream for breakfast improves a person's alertness and mental performance.
Yoshihiko Koga, a professor at Tokyo's Kyorin University, has carried out a series of clinical trials in which test subjects were required to eat ice cream immediately after waking up.
They were then put through a series of mental exercises on a computer.
Compared to a group that had not eaten ice cream, Prof Koga's subjects exhibited faster reaction times and better information-processing capabilities, the Excite News web site reported.
Monitoring of the subjects' brain activity revealed an increase in high-frequency alpha waves, which are linked to elevated levels of alertness and reduced mental irritation.
my aim is to be the smartest cookie on the planet......
