How diet soda causes weight gain
I am SO glad that diet sodas are mostly out of my diet (except when I eat Mexican food....which is about once every month or two). Guess it's time to get some litmus strips to see if I'm overdoing tea.
Thanks for posting this, Ali. Very interesting.

What do kids really hear from their parents after a game?
This is really interesting. I checked out blog, and found Janis' good advice on what not to say.
I know you've got kids who play sports. Do you have some ideas about what TO say?
Does anyone out there have any ideas about what to say....once the 24 hours have passed, that is.

Reading a menu will never be the same
Hilarious photo, Trish! You're right...only in Texas. I'm embarking on a cross-country trip soon, and you've inspired me to take photos of food along the way. You've also inspired me to pack almond butter and jelly sandwiches.

Mental Health First Aid local response to nationwide mental health crisis
Thanks for pointing out that terrific, and very sad, article in the New York Times, Cindy. Having the knowledge that the mental health first aid course provides eases the fear that many people have about helping those with mental illness.
