Liar, liar, liarexic
Are you a liarexic? What, you’ve never heard of liarexia? It’s a condition, experienced mostly by women whereby they lie about their food intake? Hmm, imagine that—women with food issues. Anyway to put it succinctly it’s a condition [...]
So the water thing is wrong too
So I'll just take a moment to say, between frantic dashes to the toilet, that I've got it all wrong. Apparently none of us needs to be drinking eight glasses of water a day so put that water bottle down right now. According to a study published [...]
Hendra virus–can someone think of a new name please
The newspapers and TV headlines are full of my suburb's name. Not for anything good like increasing property prices, but rather for the killer disease that is identified by it--Hendra Virus. I think it's time for a new name like maybe Bat [...]
This is what happens when you get skin cancer
I haven't posted for a couple of days because I'm sulking. I'm sulking because I had PDT treatment done on a teeny, tiny BCC (basal cell carcinoma) hardly visible to anyone who has not a dermotologist's eye. This particular BCC was conveniently [...]

Mouth flexing for eternal youth or even a part in a porno
Have a look at this tortuous device. It sort of looks like a work out for a porn star who specialises in BJs, but no, it is a tool for everlasting youth. According to the infommercial all you do is insert the device (which comes with its own case [...]
All about gratitude
I'm a happy person. I blog and write all day long, I love my husband and daughter, I live in a great house, have fab friends, have written a novel. Heck, even my dog gets cuter by the day (this is him in the picture). I'm grateful for all of this. [...]
Still think that tan was a good idea
I'll admit that I'm a bit of a sook. Those labradors in the Kleenex ads make me cry. Those mummy/baby cuddle ones--yep have me blubbering. But this ad made me sad for a whole different reason. See as a typical Aussie girl I am a walking [...]
