Check out this e-mail I received today. In my in-box, this "alert" looked very authentic until you look a little closer. You would think that crooks smart enough to create this scam would check their grammar before sending it out.

But as laughable as this is, I do feel sorry for those who fall for scams like this.

yes, I got suck in! But, please click on my egg anyway *big smile* *batting of eyes* pleeeease

I've been thinking about the quote I posted yesterday. At first glance it seems simple enough, and maybe even a "great" truth. But it isn't that simple is it. I do believe that everyone, in one form or another, has had to deal with difficulties in their life and it's how each individual copes (accepts?)with it that makes the difference of a measurably happier or sadder life. I believe that, at all times their is good and bad all around us and we can either solely focus on the bad (and be depressed) or solely on the good (denial anyone.)But when we focus on the good in our lives (or even doing what we can to create good in our lives) while still coping/acknowledging the bad (or even fighting against it) we then have a chance to truly become happy (in whatever that means to each individual)
Oh, but what about those who can't cope? How can we say to one living through a war, or famine, or watching a love one die, to accept that life is hard, transcend that fact and it wont be. Everyday, I walk passed people laying in the street with dead eyes, I do not think life will get better for them by the acceptance of their life's difficulties. Or maybe it will, maybe the sheer acceptance of their homeless condition, or war torn, or ill health, or whatever, maybe just accepting what is, does make it better. I know the last stage of grief, is acceptance. Maybe, we all need to grieve a little for the life we wish we could have had (wanted so badly) that fairytale life (you know the one in the book with the happy ending) and then accept that it cannot/wont be,that life is what it is and then go on and be happy that we still can hug a loved one and look up at that beautiful sky and yes, even smell the flowers. Just a thought.

Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. - M.Scott Peck

This is from Rowan's LJ post yesterday, and all I have to say is OMGS!!!!(every single one of them)
This is where I want to go when I die, OK (please, please, please)

Only in San Francisco can you get tested for an STD in a tattoo parlor



San Francisco Expands Program On STD Tests

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― Getting a test for sexually transmitted diseases in San Francisco could be a lot easier following the expansion of a testing program.

Officials with the city's Department of Public Health were scheduled to gather at a tattoo parlor Wednesday morning to announce the expansion of the STD testing program.

Gotham Tattoo Parlor at 3991 17th St. is one of the locations where testing is now available. People are directed to go online at www.STDtest. org to find which tests are recommended for them, print a personlized lab slip, and find the nearest testing location.

The new website and the expansion into the tattoo parlor is part of the plan to urge more people to get themselves tested regularly.

Women with a wiggle: Gait may be associated with orgasmic ability

This is a VERY preliminary study with a tiny sample but there may be something in it

A new study found that trained sexologists could infer a woman's history of vaginal orgasm by observing the way she walks. The study is published in the September 2008 issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, the official journal of the International Society for Sexual Medicine and the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health.

Led by Stuart Brody of the University of the West of Scotland in collaboration with colleagues in Belgium, the study involved 16 female Belgian university students. Subjects completed a questionnaire on their sexual behavior and were then videotaped from a distance while walking in a public place. The videotapes were rated by two professors of sexology and two research assistants trained in the functional-sexological approach to sexology, who were not aware of the women's orgasmic history.

The results showed that the appropriately trained sexologists were able to correctly infer vaginal orgasm through watching the way the women walked over 80 percent of the time. Further analysis revealed that the sum of stride length and vertebral rotation [wiggle?] was greater for the vaginally orgasmic women. "This could reflect the free, unblocked energetic flow from the legs through the pelvis to the spine," the authors note.

There are several plausible explanations for the results shown by this study. One possibility is that a woman's anatomical features may predispose her to greater or lesser tendency to experience vaginal orgasm. According to Brody, "Blocked pelvic muscles, which might be associated with psychosexual impairments, could both impair vaginal orgasmic response and gait." In addition, vaginally orgasmic women may feel more confident about their sexuality, which might be reflected in their gait. "Such confidence might also be related to the relationship( s) that a woman has had, given the finding that specifically penile-vaginal orgasm is associated with indices of better relationship quality," the authors state. Research has linked vaginal orgasm to better mental health.

The study provides some support for assumptions of a link between muscle blocks and sexual function, according to the authors. They conclude that it may lend credibility to the idea of incorporating training in movement, breathing and muscle patterns into the treatment of sexual dysfunction.

"Women with orgasmic dysfunction should be treated in a multi-disciplinary manner" says Irwin Goldstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine."Although small, this study highlights the potential for multiple therapies such as expressive arts therapy incorporating movement and physical therapy focusing on the pelvic floor."

I was dreaming that I was asleep, which if you are asleep dreaming you are asleep, does that make you really, really asleep? Or sleeping by the power of 2? Anyway, I was dreaming that I was asleep and I felt someone get on the bed next to me. I decided I’d better wake up and see who it was, but when I opened my eyes and leaned up, I saw a mirror in front of me and in the mirror was another me sitting behind me on the bed facing left. I smiled at myself in the mirror and then the other me turned, looked and also smiled at me in the mirror. And I thought to myself “well, that’s alright” and laid down and went back to sleep.

Yesterday I worked from 9:00am to 11:00pm and will probably work the same hours again today. The first week of the month is always especially busy because I have to process the rents for the building (48 apts) but this month I agreed to take care of the building across the street (98 apts) That means, not only am I processing the rents for both buildings, I am showing apts and doing move-ins for both buildings. My place looks like a bomb hit it, and I'm rapidly running out of clean cloths to ware. "Why doesn't Ellen help with the laundry?" I hear you ask. Do you remember being a teenager? It is the rare teenager indeed who will do housework without their mother (or guardian) standing over them with pointed finger. And anyway, this is Ellie's second week of high school and already she is inundated with homework. She has just finished her second essay last night, and lets not even talk about the math homework, which is definitely not one of her best subjects! Why, why, why did I agree to do take on another building! Oh ya, I was enticed with money
